I'm doing this for the first time, took a hot shower before.

And it hurts LIKE HELL.

I have a Braun Silk epil 7. So yeah if you have any tips on how to make this hurt less do tell.

When you do it the first time your hair is still very thick and it will hurt more. The more you do it the less it will hurt because the regrowing hair won't be as thick (because they didn't have as much time to grow) and it won't hurt as much. Long story short: just keep doing it in regular intervals (2-3 weeks) and you will get used to it.
