Hello luvs,
Its obvious i am in the beginning stages of my transition. I am sitting here waiting for my manicurist to arrive for my mani/pedi. I figured i would ask about hair... 
My arm hair is overwhelming and i wanted to ask what everyone else does to control body hair? Did you get electrolysis or body waxing or did you shave your body hair? 
Each has their own expense tied to it. I am thinking of doing a full body wax and then electrolysis on my arms, chest and face.
Thoughts?
Luv,
Ali
I epilate wherever I can take it and shave the rest. When I can't epilate, I don't bother with shaving and consider it an exercise in stoicismBig Grin.
I don't want to even imagine the price of electrolysing large swaths of skin...
For me waxing has done a really good job of reducing body hair.....I have after about 13 waxes no hair on my legs more or less, only vellus hair on my arms and hands and way sparser body hair which is becoming very slow growing. 

I was like chewbacca in his birthday suit before so i would imagine it would work just as well for anyone with less dense body hair. Just be prepared for it to hurt a lot for me its armpits and collar bone which really hurt although it does improve with time and also ingrowing hairs need to be dealt with very quickly.

Even 8 sessions of laser for the whole body is a five figure sum in the UK or close to it so that's a lot of waxing sessions at £150 for a full body one. According to the beautician who does my waxing eventually hair will no longer grow at all after enough waxes.

An epilator is a good investment too although don't do it when the hair is really long as it hurts like hell then, I just got a mains one for about £50 which does the job pretty well but I only use it to do the very odd hairs which get missed during waxing. 

I really would just save the electrolysis for the face.

There's a home laser device on the market that works very well on legs and armpits.  Its a little on the expensive side but does work.  I tried it on other areas but it wasn't as effective on me probably because a lot of my body hair is not the thick dark kind.  My arms have more of a thin blonde peach fuzz which doesn't respond well to lasers.  Message me if you want the brand name.
I got a tria laser for my face it's not intended for use there but it is working and the pain is tolerable. Have tried it elsewhere and its fine on the body in terms of pain but does little where the hairs are all soft and blonde which is most of it. 

I tend to just leave the body hair for waxing these days other than a quick pluck or once over with the epilator.
Vitex works great to lower and rid of hair but it must be took without any form of estrogen taken with it. You have to shave after awhile being on Vitex but it is worth the trouble plus Progesterone is raised.

This is very individual Megan. I think your success has more to do with hormones and with how well you manage to be a silk-skinned woman on the inside:)). I've been epilating once to thrice a month for the last two years or so and there is some reduction but generally the hair is still growing strong. The mechanism of action of course being identical to waxing.
