I have now officially electrocuted my armpits. lol
I had both armpits done by electrolysis the other day. Irritating as hell but hopefully worth it. I'm not overly hairy, but boy the thought of not having to shave! Who else has done this, and about how much regrowth did you have after the first 'clearing'. lol

I started doing my armpits but I have alot to go yet. I notice a decrease in the volume of hair in the areas she did already. Please post again and let us know how it works for you.

Yep, I sure will. I went in and had both all done completely. Took 2 and 1/2 hours and I was definitely twitching at the end, but then I'd forgotten to take some Advil beforehand. Next time I'll try the numbing cream. lol

ROFL... sorry I just had to say that the visions I had when I first read the title of your thread, I just saw you plugged into the electricity supply, and wondered what on earth your thread was about....
