If you don't want to tweeze, consider waxing. However, waxing is almost like pulling a band-aid off your skin. It would be pulling many hairs all at once. Can you stand that? It would be a fast pain, all at once instead of slow pain from each tweeze.
If you end up tweezing anyways, try some ice to numb your eyebrows first before you tweeze. Also, pluck really fast so that you minimize the amount of pain there is.

First off if you don't like tweezing you could always shave them, that is what i do when I'm in a rush, they sell little razors for that at any beauty supply or drug store. Second if you like the way your brows look after tweezing plus they last longer tweezed, you could put ice on them to numb them first then make sure you hold your skin firm and pull hair in direction of growth, don't pull against the growth direction that just causes breakage and ingrown hairs, more pain later!! Or you could go to the salon and get them threaded. It to is a slightly painful procedure but well worth it!! Just think of it this way it hurts now but as time passes you won't even be able to feel it!!

I hate the tweezing of eyebrows also but I have found that if you do it as soon as you get out of the shower it is a lot LESS painlful. Or you could put a warm washcloth or ice pack on the area to ease the pain of tweezing. Maybe if this still hurts try shaving them or else go to a professional and have it done. But remember this costs.

I'm the same way. Waxing is probably the best way to go.
My brother and I both use a set of wide nosed pliers to pull out our unibrows. (Seriously) My mom looks at us like we're crazy but honestly it doesn't hurt as bad as tweezing, its not an option for the details though.
I have had mine waxed once before. Still hurt but it wasn't as prolonged as tweezing.

Only thing is to get them waxed, it hurts just as bad though, if u wanna tweez then just take an advil before and that helps some.

wax!! if you don't want to do it yourself, you can go to a salon and have it done. some people say waxing hurts but it's just one or two pulls...(and tweezing for touch up) it's not really that bad.

Get them waxed at a salon it cost 8-12 dollars and it is quick and the pain will be gone soon. And they also put this special lotion on you waxed skin to calm the skin and so you don't feel any pain after they are waxed.

Place a piece of ice on the brow first (this will numb it) then tweeze it. Or you can use oral gel numbing solution to prevent the pain. or you just you brow scissors

Try a tiny TINY bit of deplitory cream and put it on your unibrow. Be REALLY careful while doing this. Then wait a few minutes and wash it off. You can't really escape shaping your eybrows without pain and (sorry) the most painless thing is a tweezer.

like you I never could get used to the pain of pulling my eyebrow hair out. When I get my hair cut, I have the person doing my hair, shave my eyebrows and shape them while they do it.
I have been doing this for 45 years. It works fine for me.
