Reddit reviews TOPICAINE 5 - Net Weight 1/3 OZ (10 grams) Lidocaine Anesthetic Anorectal Numbing Gel

I hope I'm not too late to the party!

Apply this to your lady bits a half hour before, but be EXTREMELY CAREFUL on the "mucus membranes" eg the red/pink parts (different on everyone, but generally inside the labia is a mucus membrane). It's a local analgesic (lidocaine, in this case), so it should numb the pain.

Unless you don't like the feeling of novacaine. Some people think it feels like tingling. Any -caine is a sodium channel inhibitor, so if you've ever been given a -caine and had side effects (vomiting, irritation, rash, uncomfortable tingling) take the pain instead.

The interval doesn't really matter. It's not like laser. Imagine if you went to laser every two weeks. It takes awhile for the dead hairs to come out. You would be wasting money zapping already dead hairs. With electro, that's not happening. You can be assured that each hair you zap is still alive.

If you're worried about one week not being enough time for the skin to heal, you can always alternate areas. One week you can work on the goatee area, another you can work on the neck, another on the sideburns, etc. I'm currently doing electro sessions once per week.

If the pain really bothers you, there are numbing creams available. There are some available. Something like this is pretty good, and there are stronger ones available by prescription. I typically do two hour electro sessions, which would be impossible for me without getting all numbed up first.
