For the face and the genital area, I use an electric shaver. The horizontal ones, not the circular ones. I do have to use a circular one for that last bit of hairs under the nose.

Elsewhere, I use an epilator. Basically it's like using a bunch of tweezers all at once. It's not as uncomfortable as that sounds, even during the first time. It's also extremely effective and long lasting, and it seems like the hairs come back thinner/finer each time. It's wonderful, and it means I basically get to have nearly smooth, hairless skin pretty much all the time. I only seem to need to use it again every 1-2 weeks, and only in spots where I notice hairs, which are often small enough that at a passing glance, most others might not notice. Some areas like the armpits a but more often, but even then, not every day. I also especially love how the hairs don't have to be very long to be gripped by the epilator. They'll say 0.2 cm / 0.1 inch but sometimes/often it'll grip hairs even shorter than that.

By far, the epilator has been the most effective, and extremely cost effective. The only downside is you can't use the epilator on yourself on your back, so hopefully you don't suffer from a hairy back.

It's much better than regular shaving all over. It wasn't the easiest thing, and it seemed to take a long time.. about an hour each time. And as I gain weight I wear it only ever got harder each time. And the worst part, was I had to repeat this every 2, perhaps at most 3 days.

Depilatory (hair removal creams) may sound like the perfect answer, but they aren't. Not by a long shot. It starts to get expensive if you stick do it. It does last longer than shaving, but only by a day or so. And they don't pull hairs out by the root the way epilators / waxing does. The chemicals are also very caustic and you absolutely must remove it within 10 minutes, or it will burn. So you can't just lather up your whole body in one go. Otherwise, you'll end up with burns and that's not pleasant. It's even worse on the genital area, which if left on too long, it'll burn for 1-2 days and if it ever rubs against underwear, you'll be in near constant agony. So, just don't do it.

Waxing can be effective for awhile, but has a number of downsides that make it not worthwhile. It gets expensive very fast, especially if you go to a salon to get it done all over. You could learn how to do it yourself and the supplies aren't even that expensive, but it's very, very messy, and you still have to contort into bizarre positions that only get harder as you gain weight. But if that's not bad enough, you have to wait until the hairs are at least 1/4 of an inch (0.64 cm) long. Disgusting! Made me want to vomit! That defeats the point. So don't do it.

I haven't attempted laser hair removal or electrolysis yet, primarily due to cost and potential travel time, since I'd have to go to a specialty business for it, which may also have limited hours that could interfere with work. But supposedly, YMMV.

A "basic digital" is probably the best choice. Alternatively, one of those classic tall analog lever action scales where you have to slide counterweights on a lever. You still see them in gyms and some doctor's offices. However, those are likely to be much more expensive.

The spring-based dial ones need to be calibrated every time, as well as of course the springs seem to get deformed so it's a question of being accurate.

What do I mean by basic digital? I mean it has an old style LCD digit display, and the only option is to show pounds or kilograms, settable with a switch. It's also powered by a single AA or CR2032 (coin shaped) battery. The original CR2032 battery that came with mine lasted a good 13 years, not even kidding. It's not fancy in that it has no Wi-Fi access, no Bluetooth, no special app needed to work, etc. You probably do NOT want one of those.

The WiFi, Bluetooth, etc. uses much more power, meaning batteries need to be replaced more often. This gets expensive fast. If it relies on an app, you hope it'll still be supported in 5 years and would still function on the latest Android. Getting 20+ years of use might be a thing of the past. You don't want to have to replace it every few years now, do you? Of course not. Also, the really basic digital scales will use simple chips, that won't be affected by this chip shortage going on right now.

Basic digital models can be found at Target, Wal-Mart, etc. for around.. $20-35 maybe? Also, out of curiosity I looked around last year. You'd be hard put to find a model that doesn't go up to at least 400 lbs. Most seem to show in 0.5 lb and 0.2 kg increments.

Never heard of it before until today. I assume you're talking about this stuff?

Obviously this means I've never tried this thing. But, I've tried supplement products with similar claims. The last one I tried from Amazon, something called "Eat-mor" didn't seem to really work on me, and it was of similar pricing.

As far as I can tell, it's one of those YMMV types of things. Maybe it'll work, maybe it won't.

I might be a little leery of ordering from them for two reasons.

1) While they appear to be based in the US, the web site doesn't mention an address of any sort from what I've seen. The only phone number offered is a toll-free number, not associated with any particular area. The only hint to a location is their customer service hours being in the US East Coast timezone (same as New York City, Boston, DC, Atlanta, and Miami).

2) I notice you, the OP is based in France. Their shipping policy basically says the web site appears to be for American customers only, and to use "authorized distributors" for your country. So, I have no idea how you might obtain it yourself easily.

The other day, I had a devil of a time trying to figure out what the recipe was, even though cake shakes are mentioned all over on feederism related web sites.

But after spending a lot of time trying to find it, and reading through who knows just how much stuff, I think I figured it out.

- 1 pint of whole milk or half & half
- Half a box of cake mix, standard size. All the boxes of cake mix I see are 15.25 oz. for additional reference.

Blend the two ingredients in a blender. You might have to shake the blender carafe or use some sort of cooking utensil to scrape off bits of cake mix powder that somehow got stuck on the side and not properly blended.

In theory, you could also try stuff like 1 cup half & half, 1 cup heavy cream but you'd have to experiment, since there's a question as to how much dairy fat you may be handle in one go, and this amount likely varies from one person to another.

You can also obviously double the recipe with a quart of half & half and the entire box, if you think you can handle it.

It's kind tastes like cake batter, but less thick and more runny. You can easily drink it through a straw, or a funnel. If you can drink half & half straight like milk, you can drink this.

Certainly an interesting idea to say the least!

I wonder how it may affect the taste of a blended cake shake (half a box of cake mix + 1 pint of dairy liquid* = about 18-20 fl. oz volume.. the recipe could potentially be doubled I guess, just got to watch the amount of dairy fat in one go).

* - Dairy liquid can be whole milk, half & half, maybe even part heavy cream.

Could you elaborate on this? Would think straight oil would taste disagreeable, not to mention it'd be very easy to go overboard and possible digestion problems. Someone earlier mentioned diarrhea.

Otherwise, the idea of basically drinking fried food really quick, there's something exciting and appealing about that.

I have noticed that I've finally been able to do something that until recently, I wasn't previously able to do.

For every day this past week, I've finally be able to average about 3,500-4,000 calories a day. As an estimate, I believe that's eating like a 300 lb. man. I think I might end up breaking this streak today, but we'll see. I should however be able to at least eat 2,500 which should mean no weight loss.

The key thing most of all I know, is consistency.

Previously, if I had a 4,000-4,500 calorie day, it felt like I was stuffed and then I may eat almost nothing the next day, which was really messing up my weight gain goals, so I tried to take it easier for more consistency.

But somehow, it's almost as if something snapped and clicked. I don't know if I've feel as truly satisfied as I did this past week. I want and suspect I will eventually need to eat like this all the time. It's my hope that I can continue this on for most weeks.

I wonder if at some point, I might be able to have a week with an average of 5,000 calorie days?

I'm trying to prepare and train for my "1+ million calories in a year" challenge for the year 2022. While I expect it to be challenging sometimes, I also expect it will be doable. With any luck, every year after that will be 1+ million calories a year, without even thinking about it. To put it another way, it'd be an average of at least 2,750 calories a day. More on it here:

Man, if I had a lady who'd do that, I have no doubt I would blow up until I'm so huge, and I'd love every minute of it!

Only thing that could possibly make it even better if it's her own cooking and baking.

Absolutely and without a doubt. Not that big yet as of this writing, but this takes time. Let's see...

The mass and extra size feels nice, and as I continue to gain weight I expect more built-in softness. I don't feel as fragile as perhaps I once did.

I actually enjoy food now, and not just because the more calories, fat, sugar, carbs, and protein food has, the better it tastes though this helps. I only get disappointed when I get full sooner than I'd like, but as I gain more I expect to be able to eat more. It's a daily joy I didn't have before.

It seems like I get more respect in general, and I have better confidence. At least in the US, there's virtually no social upside whatsoever for a man to be rail skinny.

I get more attention from women than I did before, especially women who are overweight and obese. At least in any area I've lived in, it's pretty rare for me to see a couple with a fat woman but the man isn't. He's nearly always large too. There's definitely a distinct preference. I'm not just gaining to get more attention from fat women, but it definitely helps.

I thus expect it'll be easier to date fat women, the heavier I get.


There's downsides, but most of them don't matter.

Sure, there's some tasks that are a lot harder now, but it's not like I ever really cared about them much in the first place. Jogging several miles? Never got into that. It's also not a bicycle friendly area but I'm not big on that either.

Of the very, very few jobs (virtually none) that have a legitimate, bonafide weight requirement, it's not likely I'd ever do any of them. Even some ladders can support a lot of weight. I've heard cell phone tower technicians used to have a maximum weight of 250 lbs because of safety equipment limits, but presumably that's been increased by now.

At a certain point there might expect severe health or mobility problems, but I don't expect to get that big, and a lot of it is due to genetics too I think. I also don't expect to ever get quite that big, though that point is likely 400+ lbs at average height. I will never get to a point where I can't function independently, assuming access to the various tools and apparatus typical in any developed country.

Some might start saying I'm gross or whatever, but odds are they're gross, fat-phobic types that I wouldn't like anyway, so I'm not losing anything. Or she might be obsessed with aerobic fitness and hate hedonism.

If I somehow do come across a thinner woman I find appealing, I expect she'd be open to a fat man anyway. Perhaps curiously enough, most size contrast couples I've seen are where the man is much larger.

And I guess another downside, is that I have a tendency to think about food more often, and those food ads are much more tempting than they used to be. But that's actually not really a downside at all.
