Has anyone tried using a cream (neat, veet, etc..) on their scrotum to remove the hair? Is it safe? If not, what method do you use - wax, shaving??
scrotum - shaving vs hair removal creams..

The problem as well with laser is the possibility of skin discoloration.
Also the darker the hair the better laser will work.

Thanks you just ruined my pizza.
On a serious note i dont think putting wax on ur balls is the best way to go. Not unless u want a purple set of balls and the sudden urge to go buy Vicodin on the black market. I think shaving is still the best solution. Oviously long term its not very good but it gets the job done with no pain.
If you're really into pain you can try waxing your private parts.

I used to go to her to have my upper back waxed until I decided to get it lasered because although with waxing, the hair takes longer to grow back than shaving, it is not permanent.
Contrary to what laser technicians say, laser is not painless. I find it more painful than waxing (when waxing is done properly). Also, the after-effects of laser such as redness, burning sensation, etc. last longer than the after effects of waxing.
As mentioned in the article, she doesn't do anything other than waxing so don't go there expecting something else to happen.
However, before deciding to wax or shave your private area, you should consider these 2 articles that I found:

I use the pop-up (sideburn?) trimmer on an electric shaver. Never had a nick or pinch with the trimmer. It ends up very smooth. If you think you want it even more, then you can use the shaver itself AFTERWARDS (always trim first). It works very well, and I get much better service when the shaft and sack are smooth.

If you are interested in this, the issue probably won't be the cost but will be finding a place that does this. Women won't generally have a problem finding a place but men will generally have a tougher time based on my experience.
I didn't ask about this specifically but when I was shopping for a place to do my upper back, during the "interview" process, either it was specifically mentioned what parts would be done or it was mentioned specifically which parts won't be done. Since the technicians in the place that gave me the interviews were women and I didn't want to get that part of my body lasered, I didn't ask specifically about whether they do this but it was just a feeling that I got after they went through the menu of prices of laser and the packages available.
Laser treatments cost around $100 and more depending on the area to be removed. It takes about 5-6 treatments to get the results that most people want. The "best" treatment is usually the first and second treatment in terms of the amount of hair that is permanently removed. Some places will give a discount depending on the amount of hair in the area but most places won't since it is based on passing the laser through the entire area regardless of the amount of hair there.
jimace,
Since you have been through this can you speak a little bit about the issues of pain and pain management? How bad is the pain? Is any kind of anesthesia administered, topical or otherwise? If not, do you recommend traditional, non medicinal pain management approaches like the drinking of a flask of Jack Daniels whiskey?
All I know is that a shaved scrotum is more likely to be eagerly licked and sucked than a hairy scrotum.

Well, I've been through laser treatment of my upper back (and parts of the front as a trial) after some comparison shopping as I've also had wax treatments by the waxing technican mentioned in the Montreal Mirror link that I provided. She doesn't do any laser treatments by the way (only waxing). I've never had it done on my private parts in either case although one laser place that I've gone to when I was shopping for it specifically mentioned that they don't do "bikini laser" for guys only for women even though I didn't ask.
If you're interested in the pain involved in getting your privates lasered, I have no idea. "C Dick" probably has an idea of this since according to his post, he did this before. I just have a feeling that some (or a lot of) places won't do it for guys considering that all the technicians are females, etc. I can only imagine how it will feel based on getting my upper back lasered (7 treatments and some touch-ups) and my front done (2 treatments just to thin it out).
With laser, I would compare the pain/discomfort during the process as having someone take an elastic band stretching it to as far as it can go without breaking it and then snapping/releasing it onto your skin. Imagine this happening each time the laser hits the hair follicle at the correct stage of growth necessary to kill the hair. This is the pain/discomfort that you will feel during the treatment. Having a lot of hair means feeling this discomfort/pain repeatedly in quick succession while the laser is passed over your body.
With waxing when it is done properly, it is a quick pull so the pain/discomfort is quick. For me, it was not like how "The 40 Year Old Virgin" made it out to be but then again, I don't have a lot of body hair to begin with anyways.
This is why I mentioned in an earlier post that I find waxing (when done properly) to be less painful than laser when the same body part is done both times. The laser technicians would seem to indicate otherwise. Another difference between laser and waxing is that with laser, you have to shave before your appointment. With waxing, you obviously shouldn't shave.
The "after" pain for laser is worst than with waxing. With waxing after a few hours, I didn't feel anything. With laser, the effects for me were felt for a few days (close to a week). I go swimming and cycle/jog which means my skin is exposed to a lot of sweat and chlorine. I don't recommend doing this after laser. My skin turned very red (like an allergic reaction). It was also very painful. Taking a bath or shower after waxing isn't a problem in terms of pain/discomfort. With laser, I don't recommend it for at least a few hours. Even after a day, taking a shower can still be a bit painful (I would compare this type of pain/discomfort to a bad sunburn).
The laser technicians normally recommend taking 2 aspirins or tylenols before showing up. I've taken nothing and 2 aspirins/tylenols (over the counter pain medication) and for me, the pain wasn't that different in either case so I normally don't take anything since I didn't see any benefit.
During my first laser treatment, I actually wasn't prepared for it and had scheduled to see a SP later in the day. This presented some issues. Now I know not to schedule a SP on the same day/week as a laser treatment.
jimace,
Thanks for your post. It sounds to me like aspirin or tylenol is not a sufficiently aggressive pain management approach. It also sounds like the lasering of the scrotum might present serious pain management issues.

Didn't have laser but had electrolysis done around the scrotum area (I still shave for the scrotum).
With a cream called "Emla" the area can be reasonably numb if you apply it about 2 hours before the treatment.
Reasonably means that with some hair you will feel nothing and with others a slight to lightly uncomfortable electric shock (for lack of better world)
It is a long process with one hour sessions it took me about 8 months at once every second weeks.
A lot of time with laser you do need to do the electrolysis anyway for area where it doesn't work as good.

Yes, this is true. After doing it for around 6-8 appointments (a year's worth), most reputable laser places will tell you that you need electrolosis to get rid of the hard to "laser" hair. I've never done electrolosis since my idea was never to have a completely hairless upper back.
Tried shaving but the razor burn was awful.
I tried a foaming stuff but got a slight reaction (itch and redness) and it wasn't very good unless used twice every time and, it was very messy to reach all the right spots without having drips in zones that are a no-no...
Now, I use a cream (Veet?) and no reaction, no rash, and it's done within 10 minutes. The "job" last for about 1 week.
It's not something you want to be seen doing cause it probably look quite weird to see a guy laying in the bathtub, legs up on the side, reading a book, with the balls covered with some gooey stuff...
