Haha I always think the threading hurts! I can never get use to it...I have to go in with tissues because I tear the whole time.

---

Everytime I do it I say it's the last time...but I end up going back...and I think I used atleast 5 tissues today...so not fun....

Its ok, you will soon get used to it...take advil before you go it tends to reduce the pain...also when aunt flo is around it hurts more too...ive been doing it for 12 years now and it sometimes still hurts depends on the person...i usually them to pull quicker or press it hard and it feels alot better

did it once..will never do it again. i hated it. it was such a painful, uncomfortable experience.

---

See, you're smart...I think I'm missing the part of my brain that would say to not go back...

for some reason when i get my eyebrows threaded i sneeze like crazy! LOL! i don't mind the pain so much.....probably because i'm distracted by the itchy nose i'm a big wuss too......i'm hoping some great motherly power will kick in during childbirth and get me through!

What's the difference versus waxing?

---

Waxing I can take - cause it's just one pull...this though...the repeated stinging...ugh...it kills me...

I stopped waxing just because I always end up going during work and waxing makes my skin SO much redder...I work with a bunch of dudes, so you can imagine the abuse I would take...

yeah ive never had a desire to do it. Its weird though bc i wax and have no issues, doesnt bother me, but at the end when they have to pluck a few hairs by the arch i go nuts and hate it. Thats why i like waxing, a few seconds and its done lol.

---

If it wasn't for the redness, I would DEFINITELY go back to waxing... 1 2 3 done...

i have never had it done, but i heard its hurts like he ll.

i think i might just stick to waxing

did you ever try an after wax cooling gel? i never get red but always hear everyone does. Dont know if its just my skin or what it is, or maybe bc ive been doing it for so long and its used to it. Ive been waxing since i was like 14 so wow 15 years or so. I HATE the oil they put on after, i use my own gel

i think i used to get red YEARS ago though not sure

Right, why is that? I always tweezed my own eyebrows and it never really bothered me. It still doesn't really, but sometimes after she waxes and then tweezes a bit, it hurts a little. Maybe it's a little more sensitive from the wax?

I've never tried threading. I guess I really won't now.
