> [@eztarget](#): > > a smartass in every crowd!!! yea C cup dentures Not being a smartass. I used to know a guy whose wife (mid-late twenties) had full dentures. He told me that dentures-out oral sex was the greatest sexual act he had ever experienced. I sincerely wondered if that’s what you were refering to. 🙂 ---

That was my thought, too - tired of hair removal for the last 20 years and finally able to afford an expensive treatment. ---

It was crazy expensive for me at the time but it’s literally one of the best decisions I ever made. Objectively one might advise a 20 year old that it’s an imprudent use of money, but 8 years out I’m so glad I wasn`t more frugal. ---

Objectively one might advise a 20 year old that it’s an imprudent use of money, but 8 years out I’m so glad I wasn`t more frugal. i am seriously considering getting my back done next year. i am blonde and i don’t have that much but what drives me nuts is the hair up on my shoulders/neck area and down on the sides. i hate it. of course i can think of a couple of other areas i’d like to have it off of too. my a-hole for starters. ---

I had my underarms done a couple of years ago, and it was the best investment ever. Why? I used to get angry red bumps and couldn’t shave more than every 3rd day, but if I waited more than 4 days in between shaving, the hair would irritate the red bumps further. Yay for sensitive skin? ---

Well this thread is interesting. I just bought a new epilator after considering permanent hair removal. Wow, almost $1000? I don’t think I would have gone for it if I knew the price. Also, I don’t think I could have gone into a shop and asked, “Do you do permanent hair removal on nether regions?” Epilation is better than shaving, I think. I wouldn’t pluck/wax/epilate hair on my sack, though. ---

My problem here is that every last inch of me’s covered in hair… if I shaved or removed hair below the neckline, I’d have to keep going until I hit my toenails. Front and back. Well, maybe I could stop at my ankles, but you get the idea. ---

Just out of curiosity, where was it advertised? Newspaper, TV, Online? Are you in a major city? ---

Yeah, I realized after I posted earlier that you were seeking info and found it, but at the time I was imagining that you opened the morning paper to find a large ad for male laser Brazilians.😛 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/hair-removal/644348.md?page=1)
