So, I was born(not literally) furry af, a few days ago finally got to "fuck it! Let's do it" and used some depilatory cream to remove basically everything from the hips up.

It's a bit weird, definitely different, but I love it! Haven't had any comments so far, still a tiny bit nervous about that. But also kind of more of a "who gives a fuck?" mindset. Wifey has definitely admitted to liking my arm freckles being more visible, which feels awesome af too!

I'm not convinced its100% related, but I've also been feeling better about myself, which is also awesome! I remember the past few(idk) years looking into the mirror some night and just thinking "I really don't like you/the way you look" but never really knowing why. Lately, I don't have that as much, and sometimes think I'm getting small glimpses of a woman in there!

It's different. It's terrifying. It's awesome.

Congrats fellow former-yeti! I just sheared myself a few days ago for the first real time(electric body hair razor), haven't done the arms yet as that's VERY visible and would draw questions at work i don't know that i want yet. It's amazing how much less irritation I'm experiencing with it, and how much more weirdly comfortable clothing is! Honestly feels like I haven't felt things actually touching my skin in YEARS!

And yeah, a more visible constellation of freckles is pretty nice (I did NOT realize how completely covered in 'em my legs are!!)

Debating removal cream to clear out the stubble

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

I almost didn't do my arms because of that but also thought they'd look way worse shirtless if I didn't, so I decided "fuck it".

I think it's not recommended to follow up with different forms of hair removal too close together, but I can assure you it doesn't completely remove stubble for me, not sure if it's extra coarse for me but at best it gets to skin level or just above but it's hard not to have some, though it's usually short enough to not be seen unless you really fuck up and miss areas like I have almost every time 😂

I've used removal cream on my face and nether regions. While I've never had 100% success with it, it does still make a significant difference. And then if you follow it up with shaving, you'll have the smoothest shave you've ever experienced.

Enjoy mirrors now 😁

Not OP, but I started growing my hair out in late '22. During Summer '23, it started to look more feminine. I looked in the mirror randomly that summer and I had to stop and look. Because what I saw, for the first time in the 30 years I've been on Earth, made me instinctively smile. I didn't want to stop looking because it just felt so happy seeing how I looked.
And it's only encouraged me to be more fem. I just need to move to a location where I can safely be me.

Really the same for me, but that was during lockdown. The hair is my starting point to my fem too, and I really understand why you need to move.

When you will be "free" from direct social consequences, you will be in "fast and furious" mode for sure ! :)

Keep strong siss

Does anyone know how long that lasts and if the hair comes back stubby? I shaved my entire upper body before and HATED the feeling whe the hair came back in.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It goes down to about skin level at best but it's hard to be consistent and does get stubbly after a day or two, but it not quite the same as shaving stubble, as shaving makes pointy stubble and the cream is more of dull stubble. It still grabs clothing but it's not super itchy or anything.
