So, I was born(not literally) furry af, a few days ago finally got to "fuck it! Let's do it" and used some depilatory cream to remove basically everything from the hips up.

It's a bit weird, definitely different, but I love it! Haven't had any comments so far, still a tiny bit nervous about that. But also kind of more of a "who gives a fuck?" mindset. Wifey has definitely admitted to liking my arm freckles being more visible, which feels awesome af too!

I'm not convinced its100% related, but I've also been feeling better about myself, which is also awesome! I remember the past few(idk) years looking into the mirror some night and just thinking "I really don't like you/the way you look" but never really knowing why. Lately, I don't have that as much, and sometimes think I'm getting small glimpses of a woman in there!

It's different. It's terrifying. It's awesome.

Does anyone know how long that lasts and if the hair comes back stubby? I shaved my entire upper body before and HATED the feeling whe the hair came back in.

It goes down to about skin level at best but it's hard to be consistent and does get stubbly after a day or two, but it not quite the same as shaving stubble, as shaving makes pointy stubble and the cream is more of dull stubble. It still grabs clothing but it's not super itchy or anything.
