  • Onewheel pint off FB marketplace for $300.

    Showed up, turned it on and the light came on without any issues and the tire was deflated (neglected for a few years bc the guy bought a new one. Also the guy was a dad who died, so his son was selling it.) I assumed it worked. Got home, tried to start it, and I bonked the pavement with the front. Apparently the sensor was broken and it costed $150 to replace.

    is it worth it? for 300, yes 100%. for 500… ehhhhh.

    edit: also thinking of starting a sub about onewheels

    yeah haha, he’s still a stray and is just following in cheaters footsteps (another stray I posted before) in order to get treats. He’s still very skiddish and it was totally my fault to try to tell him to move by touching his side with the back of my hand

    he has promise of being domesticated though 🫡





  • no shame in asking!

    tbh I used to be the opposite of you. 2 men together was just kinda weird. not in a “that’s wrong you’re going to hell!!! 😡😡” kinda way, moreso just something in my brain thought it was kinda off-putting about it. I was raised by a really homophobic mom and grandparents as well as toxic discords that didn’t properly portray what being gay is like, that 100% had something to do with it.

    however, I found women snuggling together so cute and wholesome, like the best thing in the world. Like wholeheartedly cannot understand how anybody would be against it. I felt like really inferior as if never be half of worth to have an experience of anything like that.

    Over time as I got more experience with gay men my view kinda shifted and I think it’s really wholesome and I am really happy that people can be with who they want to be and it’s really sweet.

    however… I am now a woman… and attracted to women… so that explains that

    also my dad is gay and was his whole life.












  • shaving as a trans women (both facial and body)

    Phillips Oneblade $50

    intended for men with a beard, waterproof and lithium battery.

    honestly a letdown in literally every way for me. Not a close shave at all and other electric ones do way better in that regard. Also not a lot of area for legs and doesn’t even give the smooth leg feeling >:(
    Upside that there’s not really any chance for ingrown hairs, which means it’s pretty good for the pubic area. I don’t shave down there often though. (obligatory I am NOT the intended target for this product)

    face: 5/10
    body: 1/10
    pubic: 9/10

    ladyshave $18

    this is intended for women’s leg hair. Not waterproof and takes 2 AA batteries.

    pretty good actually. It’s wide and gets close enough for me. As advertised. I use on legs before IPL.

    face: 3/10 (works in a pinch)
    body: 7/10
    pubic: 6/10

    men’s razors $?

    I actually have a permanent scar on my thumb from when I was about 7 and messed with my dads in the shower lol

    when I hit puberty I just used my dads old one with new heads, his ‘guidance’ was pretty unhelpful for me because I thought they were for legs too and got a bunch of red dots / nicks because of it especially because I was really shy about shaving and was too scared to ask for shaving cream. works well enough for what it’s intended for, though it’s annoying to setup and use. Use a women’s for body if you can.

    face: 7/10 (with cream)
    body: 3/10 (w/o cream)
    pubic: 0/10 (w/o cream)

    Women’s razor $?

    I don’t love wet shaving but this is pretty good!
    also, ALWAYS get the Gillette Venus ones. I’ve tried other ones and they’re not as good and I always go back despite being more expensive.
    gets clogged easy though.

    facial: why/10
    body: 9/10
    pubic: 7/10 (will get clogged)

    women’s whatever the fuck

    I left the handle part at home but for body this is the BEST, but is pretty clunky and expensive. reallly smooth and is amazing. however I wish the handle part wasn’t just a big knub because it’s difficult to do under the knee and behind the back

    facial: no/10
    body: 10/10 🥰
    pubic: 3/10

    flat edge razor $5

    I got it on a DAMN cheap sale on Amazon, assume it’s like 15. It said it was a “small business” from the US but I really doubt that due to the marketing and and assume it’s just something from China.
    Anyways, it works really well, too well. Even if you’re really careful you’ll feel a random stinging somewhere and look down and see blood. I feel like there’s a skill floor I just have to learn but I have better alternatives. REALLY cheap blades though, like 15-50 cents.

    I also threw it away because I would use the blades to selfharm (7 months clean except for an accident 🎉).

    facial: x/10 (too risky for me)
    body: 7/10
    pubic: 2/10 (wayy too risky, don’t try)

    Braun 3 epilator $40

    I lost it :<

    this is a biblically accurate tweezer as my sister called it. She was too wimpy to use it and gave it to me. Lemme just say it HURTS the first time. Like on the floor crying hurts. Second time too. After a couple rounds it gets way better. However this one particularly doesn’t ways pull out the hairs and can if you push down too hard you’ll stop it which can be really annoying when you one hair that just won’t get out. It will also
    also sometimes you’ll find ingrown hairs that you can’t get because it’s underneath the skin so I’ll get a craft razor blade and ever so slightly hook it and go in with tweezers to pull it out. This is where the self harm accident earlier came from lol

    but in return 3 WEEKS OF NO HAIR!!

    exfoliate before, then use, then rinse with cold water and use unscented moisturizer, next day use TendSkin.
    if you don’t follow this to a T you’ll get hella ingrown hairs.

    face: no
    body: 9/10
    pubic: ok story time. one of my afab epilated their pubic area before having sex with their s/o and oh my God they regretted it SO bad. it hurt a TON. I imagine if you’re into pain it’ll work I guess??

    braun 5 IPL $300

    got this for Christmas and was essentially my only product. You use it after shaving (not epilation) I haven’t been consistently using it because epilate mostly. Can’t give a good review.

    Braun Epilator (iirc v7 or v8?) $80

    still in mail 🥲

    Nair

    use mens. women’s ones suck and hardly do anything on amab hair. Also mens suck too, but it’s better.

    Phillips 5d electric

    (I have it IRL, my cats just laying down next to me and id wake her up) for me it’s the GOAT of facial hair. Used it for years and absolutely love it. It just works. My use case for facial hair is pretty odd because I just have long sideburns that go down to the jawbone and some random ones under my chin. For my pretty uncommon use case it is AMAZING. Can’t really recommend it for others but if you just have long sideburns get this 100%

    in conclusion

    I epilate and as it’s growing in I use the chunky one for now the back to the Gillette Venus once my heads are gone.
    If I’m IPL-ing I either use a Gillette Venus or ladyshave.

    if anyone else has done this with skincare products let me know, I have some questions :)
