Drat! Follicled Again

The Threader from SunMaita

Shaving, waxing, zapping, tweezing, bleaching, singeing follicles with a hot blade: The art of epilation’s got you at the end of your rope.

Which happens to be where you’ll find the Threader. It’s a new at-home contraption that makes ripping out hair the old old-fashioned way (i.e., by the root with two pieces of cotton floss circa Egypt thousands of years ago) relatively gentle and surprisingly easy.

It’s intended for face places but good for bikini and underarms, too. Just assemble the handheld rig, rice powder the area you’ll be pruning, press twisted threads to the skin, push the button, and lift; peach fuzz or fur, it’s gone. Smooth on calming lotion and you’re done.

Don’t forget to apply the numbing cream prepull.

Because, yes, removing tiny little hairs one by one is going to hurt.

Whether you’re thready or not.
