| | | How to get rid of hair?
Hopefully I will be on a pump soon. (please insurance co ok me)
I know that the tape requires clean skin to attatch to but what are hairy guys like myself to do?
Do you constantly shave the area you plan to attatch the tape to or is there a better way where the hair doesnt come back as quickly or at all?
I currently shave my stomach area and legs for my current MDI treatment (I like a clean injection site) but I notice the hair growing back stubble within 2-3 days. |

| | | But is there a beter way then shaving with a razor?
For those who didn't know like me.
Metrosexuality: The trait of an urban male of any sexual orientation who has a strong aesthetic sense and spends a great amount of time and money on his appearance and lifestyle. |

| | Ask for a bikini wax, it will give you a new outlook on life. 
You will have to choose between a landing strip or taco. 
All kidding aside, pulling out the roots is the best bet. Heard real men use duct tape. |

I have seen Dewey do this to her eye brows. Pluck them out.

And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shakin' hands, sayin' "How do you do?"
They're really saying "I love you"

| | | Been taking the Electric Norelco Razer to mine. Could always burn them off but that would be dangerous.
My insulin smells like a box of Bandaides.

burn you perhaps you could try the one for Women, it may be easier
on your skin. Some People do have sensitve skin. Or try the Veet first.
