Shaving & hair removal cream on body hair
Plucking for my eyebrows
I use an epilator for underarms and legs, and wax and pluck eyebrows.

I shave. Do it in the bath with soap suds for lube and it's dead quick and easy.

Epilate legs, shave armpits, wax/pluck eyebrows. Can anyone recommend a good hair removal cream? I might try it.

Waxing, but I might get a laser machine too so I can use that after waxing to reduce hair growth even more.
shave - waxing is too painful for it to be a regular thing :redface:
Lasered facial hairs, wax back, bikini and arms, shave legs and underarms, thread eyebrows. Reading the above posts, I genuinely admire anyone who epilates their underarms, I tried it once and it was the most painful thing.

Plucking causes more hairs to grow in that area. There was an article about this on the BBC.
Why is this just a girl's poll when it's become so socially acceptable for men to also remove their body hair via various means?

Didn't know that, although it seems to tally with my experience. What do you recommend I do instead? I can't afford threading, sadly.

You epilate your arms?? That sounds SO painful :/

I epilate my armpits, shave other body areas, and get my eyebrows threaded*

Its not painful to me. Your skin gets used to it and it lasts ages before you need to do it again x

Fair enough, arms sounds such a painful place to epilate though! I'm used to doing my armpits now but I don't think I could stomach anywhere else with it*
