Does the tweezie run on elec or batteries? Some are very cheap, but wonder if they work?

Eyebrows are lighter, not much hair on legs and underarms. Ahhh the joys of growing older, but Im still greatful for every new day. It's a gift to us from God.

I have a few fuzzies, but what I hate is the "skin tags" little buggers that show up anywhere & look nasty.
Had 3-4 under one arm & the Dr numbed them,using needles long enough to go thru my armpit....WOW did it ever hurt!!!!
Never again!!!!!!!! I'll just have to grow them!
Anyone else have skin tags? Someone said she heard of ppl putting ducktape on them. Now there's a pic, fuzzy chin & tape stuck underarms. Oh,the joys of getting old.
Thank you sooo much for the chuckle!!!! I'm there.

OMG what to do you go to the restroom there are ten women are in there with tweezers plucking hairs from their chins, eyebrows, cheeks, ears, and best of all the boobies. Oh menopause I love you.

Don't you love it when it's someone else having a chinny chin chin? :thumbup:
Thankfully I am not quite having this trouble YET. However, my ahem, mature husband is horrified that he will turn into Andy Rooney overnight and is obsessed with having me tweeze his ear hairs and brows. I think seeing his hairy father in a nursing home really did a number on him.

Absolutely love the "short tropical holidays" reference. Going to have to steal and use that phrase.
Skin tags - yeppers!! Hate, hate, hate them. Had some removed a few years ago and didn't hurt at all. Wasn't even that expensive as I recall. Might have to look into that again. Thanks for the laughs though!

My sister's hubby works on people's cars in his free time. One time when I was visiting, a potential new client called and left a message on the answering machine. She said: "Hi this is Eva. Remember me? I'm the Lesbian with the beard...." I cracked up - not often that you hear a woman be proud of her facial hair. Well, Eva came by a few days later and honest to goodness, she has a full-on beard. I couldn't stop staring which of course is rude, but.....

If the skin tags are the kind with a really skinny connection to your body, I just clip them off with a small scissors or nail clipper. Be sterile, use alcohol. Bleeds for a bit and then it stops. Why pay a doc to do it?
Of course I mostly have the other kind, that are stuck on like wax. They seem to grow in the "bra" area. Lovely.
And while we are on the hair subject, DH makes fun of me because my leg hair is thicker than his. He refers to me shaving my legs as "deforestation".
