Dear Valued Users,
It's with a heavy heart that we announce the permanent closure of StepTalk.org on August 31st, 2025.
This decision wasn't an easy one. For over twenty years, StepTalk has been a source of support for stepparents around the world! However, over the years, the costs associated with maintaining and upgrading the site to remain secure, meet current standards and maintain availability have become unsustainable.
We are incredibly grateful for your support, contributions and the community you've helped us build. Your engagement has made StepTalk.org a special place and we cherish the memories and connections made here.
We would especially like to thank Aniki for volunteering to be a moderator and for caring so much.
Thank you for being a part of our journey and we wish you all the best.
Sincerely,
Dawn and The StepTalk Team

I like mine but have had it for years so there are probably better ones now (it's a Silk-epil by Braun, got at Bed Bath and Beyond).

I did, got it as a Christmas present. Loved it until I lost it somehow. The brand was emjoi. I liked it for my legs and underarms--everything else hurt too much. Those didn't hurt at all if you iced the area beforehand. I did some bikini stuff but be careful you don't get too close--you might get certain, err, loose skin caught in it. Not fun. Keeps the skins smooth much longer, I like it better than waxing because no mess and it can be part of your routine.
I did do DH's lower back with it. He screamed like a little girl.
I did it in a circular motion since it matters what direction the hair is growing in to get caught. It will pick up hairs even if they were shaved very close to the skin.
Okay thanks for the tips (and
Okay thanks for the tips (and chuckles) you gave me. I'm going to try it.
