Your tips on how to look more Groomed, Glamorous or Polished #5

[Slaybutter]

Guys this is a bit weird but I sweat a lot, even when it’s not that warm out. Weirdly I’m mostly sweating from only my right armpit it doesn’t smell because I lather my underarms in deodorant but it’s just annoying.

ive tried a very high strength medical deodorant off Amazon and it stopped me sweating but it burneddddd when I put it on. Plus it causes a weird buildup of product. It works though. I just can’t stand the burn

Can someone please recommend a solution? terrified of the pain, so not sure about Botox injections…

So this is funny but my hair leans towards dryer and when it’s absolutely dried out, I get sweaty! It is insulating all the body heat basically I start to use leave in conditioner when my hair gets like this and that definitely helps cool me down. I know that it’s very weird but it works!

All the hair! they do Hollywood, Brazilian, just anal area etc. it’s very customisable



this is where I go! they’re very cheap tbh

Ok, all the hair makes sense if I didn't have blonde hair I'd be booking straight in, a forever hollywood would be amazing.

Totally agree about wedding guest dresses!! They can be so hit and miss!
The one I'm thinking of is of is off the shoulders, shows no cleavage and tbh it's probably just past knee length on me. It's green so thinking of pairing it with some simple gold jewellery, not sure what colour hag and heels yet.

Has anyone had laser hair removal?
I've been getting it for the past 12 months on my full legs, pits and bits and it's the best thing I ever did! I really struggled with stubble and ingrown hairs, especially around the bikini lone. It's absolutely changed my life and I'd recommend it to anyone who's ever thought about getting it! So worth the money!

That sounds great for the dress, can I ask where it's from?

I use perspirex, you put it onbefore bed wash off in the morning. It’s amazing, I use it a few days in a row then leave for a few days & then start again.

When I was a teenager I’d only wear black tops because I hated the sweat marks but it’s got better as I’ve got older but still a sweaty Betty

When I first used perspirex it was really great that I could wear other tops without worrying about sweat marks .

Edited to add can see you’ve tried this already

I've just been googling laser hair removal and looks like you can get it if you are blonde - can I ask if any fellow blondes have had success with this? I always thought it didn't work on blondes but looks like things have moved on?

I'm going to a wedding at the end of May and have no idea what to wear! I want to look nice and put together. Would a knee length bodycon dress be appropriate? Or is something a bit looser than bodycon better for a wedding? I have no idea with clothes tbh

Nothing against a Bodycon dress, other than comfort level for me. The last weddings/events I went to I always tried to wear something with nice shape but not too tight, so I could eat all the food…. Don’t like the feeling of the dress getting tighter just because I had to eat the cake…

I got so confused reading this at first because the last few messages have been about anal lasering

From what my laser lady was saying, laser works best on dark coarse hair and it might not pick up lighter, finer hairs. Its the one time being dark and hairy is a blessing

Sorry for all the spam!! I'm going to call it a night now

Another vote for boob or bust here. It’s seriously life changing. You don’t realise how bad you look in a badly fitted bra until you wear one the is correct.

 

[Moongirl69]

Are the asda bras any good? I was going to buy the M&S Smoothing Padded Plunge Bra (€37) but... I'm cheap.... I'm only a 34B so hate spending big money on bras..

Are Newlook bras any good?

Also any tips on how to measure yourself? Nowhere near me seems to do it any more

Re measuring, try the Boob or Bust method. Prepare to be surprised!

 

[Durhamlass]

Totally agree with the comment above, you won’t be a 34 b
I’ve converted a whole office to boob or bust. I tell as many people as possible as it’s amazing

 

[IdeletedbutI'mbackagain]

I cosign trying Boob or Bust or having a look at 'a Bra that fits' which has loads of advice on sizing yourself. They also have this calculator: https://www.abrathatfits.org/calculator.php

But even knowing your size doesn't mean its foolproof as every brand seems to be different. Frustratingly.

Okay so according to this I'm a 32D... just sorta blows my mind, I would NEVER have thought that, I have been wearing the wrong size for years

I’d been wearing 34b for years until I had myself professionally measured. I was actually a 32dd! The difference in fit and comfort was phenomenal

It's mad isn't it!? Hope this makes a difference cause I was finding my bras so uncomfortable...

 

[pommynoir]

I wear a 34d, recently was measured by Ann Summers and M&S they’ve both said the same. Boob or bust puts me at a 30 GG or something ridiculous. I’ll continue wearing what’s comfortable and looks good.

I thinkkkkk there is some sort of formula where you can go up a band size and down a cup size and it will still fit. A woman in M&S told me when they didn't have a bra I wanted in my size. So by that logic it matches up?

I don't know, bra sizes confuse me no end

ETA - no it doesn't match up. I don't know bra sizes and I clearly don't know the alphabet

Yeah I'm gonna order a few sizes, 34B (incase the bras I have are just tit and that's why they are uncomfortable) 34C, 32C and 32D. I'll give them all a go... I suspect the 32 measurement could be right but still suspicious of the D!!

I have been measured in the past and they were 100% wrong and my boobs were spilling out so it must not be that straight forward to get right!

Could you get to a Bravissimo or an independent specialist bra shop? If you've been wearing a looser band for a time it may feel strange at first. Its suppose to be snug on the last/loosest hook. But 100% boob or bust is very accurate.

 

[Poppykisses87]

I want to do it, it’s about £400ish privately but I’m just so scared of the pain 🥲 I’ve had my underarms lasered and I swear it’s gotten worse since then!

I get it done every 4-6 months - honestly it doesn’t hurt and im a big woos when it comes to needles. But with this, most of the time I can’t even feel them injecting! If I do it’s like a scratch

There is an M&S but I don't know if they have anyone measuring as it's a small one. I live in rural Ireland so there isn't much around sadly!

I’m from Ireland too, My alterations lady for my wedding dress offered to measure my bust. If you know anyone may be worth asking them, I assume she used to work in a store or something
