I recently started laser hair removal treatments on my legs and bikini line. I prepaid for the treatments and am very interested in completing them...however, my first session was UNBEARABLE. I thought that I had a high pain threshold, but this was a whole different animal. Something about the way the lasers work...it was excruciating. I want to go through with the remaining treatments because I think the results will be worth it, but I'd like to hear about some pain management techniques or topical anesthetics that would be safe to try. My internet searching has been fruitless. Anybody been through this? How did you survive? tag:ask.metafilter.com,2007:site.67224 Tue, 17 Jul 2007 22:28:12 -0800 anesthetic beauty grooming hair hairremoval laser ouch! pain punishment removal skin torture vanity iamkimiam http://ask.metafilter.com/17232/Vasectomy%2DReally Is vasectomy the new craze for some men ? While clicking around following some recent tech-news-april-fools, I stumbled upon <a href="http://raibledesigns.com/comments/rd/sunsets/no_more_kids">this post</a>, where the author says he doesn't want more kids, and is getting vasectomy.<br> Okay. Why not. But then I read the comment, and many in there are saying the did it too or are planning to do it or something.<br> So, I'm just posting here asking : WTF ? Is vasectomy seen as the only way to not have kids ? What's the point about willingly getting one's nuts ? Are there some datas around here showing if vasectomy is as popular as these comments tend to show ? <br> Or is it another April Fools from this man ? tag:ask.metafilter.com,2005:site.17232 Thu, 07 Apr 2005 07:17:37 -0800 ball man nut ouch! vasectomy you_gotta_be_kidding XiBe
