OMG, Ive Never Been So Terrified!
One for the ladies - LOL, No, I wasn't mugged, taken ill to hospital or anything so dramatic.
So what was I so terrified of?
Trying out my new Braun Epilator with several heads for different hair removal. I have never been so damn scared as when I switched it on for the first time. It has two settings - slow and fast. and it was soooo loud. (I'm sure he who must obey must have been wondering what I had switched on in the bathroom! hee hee).
All I could think of was hey, just a minute, I'm on Warfarin, If I cut myself, I will bleed like a stuck pig. (sorry Morti). I gingerly tried it first on my arms (which have no hair at all) knowing that I was just putting off doing under my arms and the AHEM area, the very reason I bought it in the first place. It has 40 tweezers and minute little rollers to soothe as it pricks you to death for the first time.
Well, I finally plucked up courage and tried it under my arms whilst keeping my eyes closed....ouch, ouch, it blooming was a little painful. a weird sort of pain,similar to having a tattoo I should imagine, although they do say that after the first time it is not half as bad. It is a wet and dry epilator so will be trying it out on the AHEM area in the shower this evening. Gulp. that is an even scarier thought!!
Has anyone else got an epilator? I know it's meant to be much easier and simpler than having a salon wax treatment, plucking or shaving with a razor, Plus much cheaper. But it's still bloomin scary using it.
