    Im sure plucking like a chicken would hurt anyone. ha ha

    Preferrably to say tweez your eyebrows with a " tweezer". No pain or discomfort at all. Of course you may hit that occasional one that stings.

    suggestion - warm damp cloth on brows before tweezing. Or just out of a hot shower. Pores in surrounded area will be fully open allowing easy sculpting of desired area.

    It's almost like anal rape.

    My eyes used to water when I would pluck them, but then I kept doing it and now it doesn't hurt at all. I can even pluck my eyebrows with my fingers. Lol.

    Mild pain for me. Sometimes can be worse but most of the time it's not that bad. Also, to me nose hairs are the worst hair to have to pull. I don't have enough to warrent trimming it but every now and then I get one or two longer hairs that irritate my nose and I'll have to pluck them. Makes my eyes water every time.

    I haven't tweezed my eyebrows in months but it's not bad. I kinda like getting them threaded instead. Those Bollywood gals have such beautiful eyes! No more waxing for me, it thins them out way too much!

    It hurts for less than a second. But it makes me sneeze.

    For me it was like sex. The first time hurt like hell, and then after that it was fine. Waxing is better though. xx

    It really depends - what part of the growth cycle the hair is on, what your pain tolerance is like, technique...

    I get mine threaded. It's like plucking, only several out at once. It makes my eyes water. It stings a bit, but it's worth the result.

      If you have any suggestions, I can't pluck well between the brows without leaving like a red mark, it's embarrassing but since we're all naked here I thought you might have some suggestions. The internet has rather failed me thus far :C

        Red mark? :/ That doesn't sound fun. How do you get that?

        I'm not a great plucker. I do it too slow, and it hurts more than it should. This is why I pay to get threading done.

        I think the best advice on this thread has been auburnsin's suggestion of hot cloth or shower before hand. It really does help to open up all the pores/hair follicles.
