Sites are saying anything from $100-2000. I don't need a large area done, just between my butthole and my taint, where it's difficult to shave without a mirror.

Anyone had this done before?
Was recovery painful enough to take time off work or just mild soreness like a sunburn?
Any tips for finding Reliable Zapmen instead of fly by night operators?
What's the worst case scenario if things go Terribly Wrong?

I can't be the only person interested in this, right?

Why not just...not shave your rear end?

Anyway, my mom had it done on her legs. She said it was closer to sunburn. Easily manageable.

For one leg. The other she had done on a different day, forgot she had applied lotion, and the tech didn't bother to ask (they're supposed to). The lotion boiled in her follicles and gave her a zillion tiny burns, many leaving small scars. Barely visible, but it's the kind of thing that bugs her because she knows they're there. Took a year or so to fade.

Problem!

I am the queen of France.
I keep considering getting this done but I keep balking at the price. I looked pretty thoroughly into it a little while back before deciding I didn't want to spend that much money when I could just buy razors, general consensus on the pain was that it felt like getting snapped by rubber bands on your skin repeatedly.

Never pay full price, nobody does. Just be patient and keep an eye out on Groupon/etc. Read all the yelp reviews, including the filtered ones. Do some research so you know if they have machines that'll work for you.

It's only painful when it's actively happening. Even then it doesn't hurt much, but after the zap is over, it's over.

You need to shave before you go, every time -- it only works when the area is shaved. Unless you weigh like 400 pounds you shouldn't have a problem getting up in there anyway.
