The first couple of times it hurt quite a bit, but now after doing it every three days for a couple of month, it doesn't hurt and there's very little hair to pull out.
I'm liking the way my chest looks and feels.
I take it this is an epilator. I use a Braun Silk-épil and over time it has permanently removed most of my chest hair. I love the look and feel. This is a lot cheaper than laser treatment and in the end probably just as effective. Yes it hurt at first, but as I wrote in an earlier post, coating the area with talcum powder reduces the friction and abrasion. Once the skin adjusts it doesn't hurt at all.
But don't attack your hairy chest with an epilator. Shave it first, then after a couple of days you can use the epilator. Once you have removed the hair, it will take it a couple of weeks to reappear, and it won't be prickly as it is with shaving.
