Re: shaving

[Guest guest]

My daughter uses an electric shaver (Norelco Ladybug) on her legs and

underarms both. The one we have is very quiet so the noise won't bother her

Lucky for us she hasn't been snagged by a caught hair. Not sure what the

reaction would be for that.

My 12yr old is going through tons of changes and well its time for the legs

to be done her hair on her

legs is bad her underarms isnt bad yet but well, its time. She is

Scared to death of razors and I am quite honestly thinking that it isnt

a good idea either she will or I may nick her and I don't even want to

go there.

A mans electric razor. The kind with a screen that you have to move around. Now

she will have to get used to the buzzing and it sort of tickles. Also, you have

have to trim the hair short enough to use such a device. They make wet/dry ones

that are also self cleaning.

The first time I shaved I took so much skin off of my shin bone that it bleed

for HOURS. I was 9 and I didn't shave again until I was 14. To this day I only

shave what I HAVE to and usually not too much in the winter. Mostly in the

summer.

to freak, between the smell and the way it felt she absolutely hated

it. I had to take it off imediately. Fortunately it did take most of

the hair off her legs. Does any one have any ideas what I should do or

what I can use that would be less stress ful that maybe she could do on

her own?

jules it may have been how the nair things was first introduced to

her that caused of the panic and fear for her of what this was and

why it was of covering her legs. for me I to need to have of some

exposure to things in small broken down fashions before beign just

suddenly exposed to the whole of somethings. for me it is fear of the

unknown and changes for me that causes me the fight or flight

response strongly and with much panic. if anyone to ever pasted or

covered of my legs at a young girls age with cream or things that

looked like whipped cream it would to me cause me a panic and fight

or flight to get it off of me.

is she tactile defensive with textures of wet and or things of this

such as does she resist things that have to do with touching her or

on her. it sounds like she is of smell sensitive too. so maybe you

can make of sure the room until she is of use to the new smell is

well ventalated for this to learn of how to do the nair things. to

help minimize of one of the sensory violations to her. if she is

tactile then trying to work this in by doing sensory play that will

help desenstize of her to this sort of same texture is of good such

as real whipped cream, pudding play, and or things of this so she can

have some exposure to the feel of it and learn the texture for her is

of okay. if you have of a privacy place then maybe get a small wade

pool and do this outside on the patio and do only her lower legs for

now and then you can pour of the warm water over the legs when she is

of ready to rinse of them. in the bathroom for underarm only put a

very small amount to you hand and place it under her arm one arm only

until she becomes okay with it and the next night the other arm and

then keep of that pattern for her one arm then the next night the

other arm. one leg then the next day the opposite leg until she is of

okay because if you try to do both legs and both arms that is of too

much for even me to think of having that sensory violation done too.

if she does not like of the texture on her own hands over time you

can get of her the rubber medical gloves if she is not allergic to

latex and then let of her put on the magic gloves and put on the

magic cream to her legs and then give her a timer and if she waits

until the timer goes off to rinse it she aquires a magical treat that

you have set for her . this is of how it would need of to be done for

self to gain and learn from a new experience for me such as a sensory

learning experience to me.

I remember when my dd's legs and armpits were ready for shaving. I was puzzled

as to how to go about it as well. My dd is very sensitive to smells. I used to

have to avoid even filling my gas tank with her with me the smell bothered her

so much. So I knew off the bat that Nair was not going to work for her. I knew

also that she was going to have to be ready to enter the " shaving club. " So, I

started slowly. When she first showed signs of puberty, I bought her the Young

Women of Faith The Body Book from the Lily series, I don't know if they are in

print before and it talked about body changes and shaving was included in there.

When we went on camping trips I made sure that she saw me shaving and I

explained each step and how to do it. I bought her shaving supplies, ( I use

the Venus razor, I personally find it the most " comfortable " shaver) and told

her that she was ready to start shaving because her hair was corser and darker

because she was growing up. I let her

know where the shaving supplies were and told her whenever she was ready to

start shaving that they were there for her and if she needed help I would be

happy to help her. It took a few more months before she actually did but she's

been shaving ever since. Ocassionally, like a few days ago, I noticed that her

armpits were a bit hairy and she was wearing a sleeveless top I told her she had

to shave but she does ok with it now. I just had to let her process the need

for it and her fear of sharp objects in her own time. She still won't use a

sharp knife but she is pretty comfortable with the razor now. With the Venus

razor I don't think she's cut herself once. Good luck.

My 10 year old (NT) daughter started her period last August at age 9 and the

leg and underarm hair problem quickly developed afterwards. At her checkup

in November we asked the doctor-she wanted to shave and I was reluctant to

let her. He said to buy her an electric razor and let her shave. I went to

wal-greens and bought 2 different women's electric razors and she went to

town. No cuts, it does sa that it takes a few weeksofusing to get close

shaves. She's very happy with it. I bought the mid range price ones-they

had very cheap and very expensive also. I compared them to the men's and

like what I saw on the women's packages.

Nair wasn't an option-very sensitive skin.

yes, i am definitely going to look into a shaver i think...because hannah loves

vibration, this

could be the answer on this one...it will vibrate a bit, and plus she can

shave...well, will

she....only problem is with shaving it will be at least once a week, whereas

with other things

it usually lasts longer doesn't it? i have always shaved, so i wouldn't have a

clue.

yes, i am definitely going to look into a shaver i think...because hannah loves

vibration, this

could be the answer on this one...it will vibrate a bit, and plus she can

shave...well, will

she....only problem is with shaving it will be at least once a week, whereas

with other things

it usually lasts longer doesn't it? i have always shaved, so i wouldn't have a

clue.

Sondra,

Thank you. I think you are right. I did not handle the situation very

well I told her what we were going to be doing but I should have gave

her more prep and showed her the nair and let her feel it before I

put it on her. Her caregivers on the weekends volenteered to help do

this for me I should have let them instead of jumping in and doing it

myself.They are teenagers 18yrs old and probably could have done this

alot better than me. Hopefully the next time I can figure it out

better or let the teens handle things. Thanks

Jules

jules it is not so much that I to think of you as doing it wrong but it

takes seeing things in a autistic mind set to help of parents learn

better ways of approaching things so that they have a better chance of

sucess with their children. when things go wrong just step back

metaphorically and think in the mind set of autism and go back through

and think of where the event began to go wrong and why you think it

might have been to happen and then later retry of it with a plan of

action that has the mind set of autism in regards to how you own

daughters present of things not a mold way of looking at autism but if

you know she is of tactile then think of a mind set way to help of her

over come that first in ways that will slowly get you the results you

want at the end.

I prefer to use the ones with a protective screen. I have very sensitive skin

and have nicked and chaffed myself with others. The screen you have to move

around a bit more, but I have never nicked or chaffed myself with it. I am very

sensitive to pain. I don't like using razors because if they slide sideways and

have a lot of blades, you get more cuts and they burn worse than paper cuts,

OUCH!

One way to stall hair growth is to use aniperspent deoderant. This only works

if you shave very close with razor or use nair. I can't use nair because I get

chemical burns. I have tried it all, even G-ma's spring that yanks em out...you

may imagine my reaction if you are the parent of an autisic child: NOT GOOD.

Still the best option I have found FOR ME is to buy a decent brand with a

screen. They last quite a bit longer for me than for men because I don't have to

shave as often.

For my mom, she shaves every day and has very course hair. For my sisters,

same thing.

For me, I shave only when I have to and I still have peach fuzz above the knee

and thin darker hair below. Pits are a different story! Keep in mind during

winter I shave a lot less because no one see's my legs.

My daughter is 16 & she still doesn't shave her legs. She doesn't seem to

notice & if it helps detract from male attention, that's OK with me. I

don't think she'd want to bother shaving since she doesn't even like to

shave her underarms either unless I remind her. Nair is out of the

question, too toxic in my opinion, with the chemicals & strong smell, but

that's me. I only use fragrance free shampoos, conditioners etc. I do use

the Aveeno shaving cream & that works OK for me.

I'll have to look in to the shavers with screens. I can't remember the

brand of the women's razors I used, but it pulled the hair & Kim didn't like

them. Is it only the men's shavers with the screens?

I figured that if the Europeans don't shave, that Kim didn't have to either.

So far as I have found. It illiminates the pulling and the nicks. You can move

it in any direction and won't cut yourself.

One thing I might mention is that many models do not shave their legs because

it makes the hair grow back faster and thicker. (REALLY! I heard Stern

interviewing a supermodel and someone actually pointed out her peach fuzz on her

legs. Most shave up to just above the knee and no further.)
