I've been on hrt for a couple of months and one of the hardest things I've had to deal with is my light skin + dark body hair. While I'm not out to the world yet it'd be nice to have a smooth chest without short, visible hairs after shaving, which leads to my question. Have any of you dealt with this and found someway to at least hide body hair stubble?

I've had an epilator for a while, but with how epilating only cut the hair on my legs rather than plucking it I'm a little concerned about what it'll do to my chest. Any specific prep I should do?

It can take some practice. It works best if the hair is already short, like 2-3 days after shaving

I'll give it a shot. It'll hurt for sure but I suppose that comes with the territory. ๐Ÿ˜…
