What is the best way to deal with my moustache?

[FishFingerInjury]

My moustache is getting out of control and I need to do something about it.

I had a bit of a hair removal disaster with veet last month which resulted two red lines where the hair was plus the odd hair that didn’t succumb to the chemicals. I used the sensitive stuff but not the specific face stuff.

I’d like something I can do myself so would rather not go down the threading route.

What are my other options? What works for you?

I use my epilator. It is the best solution for me

Does it leave you with a lot of redness. I’m prone to this but I suppose I could do it in the evening so it has time to settle overnight.

Is it a special facial epilator?

I just bleach mine.....would that be an option?

I use one of these, brilliant!

Hurts the first few times but then is fine, no issues with redness either.

Screw it. Gillette Mach 3 is the way to go. I did the bleaching, the Veet, Nair, waxing (ouch), epilator (ouch ouch!) and threading etc.
Finally gave up and carefully whipped it off with a razor every few weeks.

The "No No Hair" thingies are meant to be fab. Wowcher and groupon often have them quite cheap.

No redness. There is a selection of attachments that come with mine, so I can use it anywhere.

Professional wax. Done and dusted in seconds.

Epilator and keep doing it. Over time the Hair weakens and it doesn’t go as red or hurt so much.

Get one of these, op, it's bloody brilliant. It's so gentle and soft but does a great job of getting rid of fashion fluff and tash hairs.

Fashion fluff? = facial fluff

I second the tweezerman although I only use it for my chin. I feel naked without my tache.

49p on amazon. Amazing.

Agree with a PP about a salon wax being done in seconds: perhaps you could think about giving this a go.

Trouble I find with a salon wax is having a tache on view so that they can wax if off. I tweezer as they appear and occasionally use wax strips to get rid of fluff

Embrace it? Defy societal expectations and go full twirl

Why not threading?

Do not buy the ' No No ' I bought one and it is a complete waste of money.

What about hair laser removal? Anyone tried it?

I have heard loads of negative reviews about the NoNo.

Epistick all the way.

How about waxing? I think it’s the best option. I get my eyebrows and lip done in a salon earliest daytime appointment it’s red for a bit but soon serpttles -about- -an- -hour- -or- -three-

I got mine waxed professionally for years but now I have an at home wax kit which I use. I can get away without waxing now as the hair has thinned out from years of waxing but I still do it every couple of months

Re. threading and waxing, i’ve Only just managed to get on top of doing my eyebrows myself after a rubbish threading experience last year. I’d rather not have to start paying out and finding time to get my tache done at a salon now that I don’t get anything else done there.

Going to check out some of the buffers. I’m also interested in the epilator because I could then use it in other places.

Thanks for all of the suggestions.

I wax at home using cold wax strips. They do leave the odd hair but that's easy enough to get with tweezers.

There's no mess and it's fairly economical as I buy the leg strips and cut them up myself.

I use the tweezer man thingy. Bought one after seeing a thread on here. Brilliant and cheap too
