    Best wax/other hair removal for legs?
    what is the best wax or other kind of hair removal (e.g. nair etc.) for legs that you can get in boots etc.?

    when i say wax i mean ready to use strips, i don't have time to mess about heating wax etc.

    i want it to last so no shaving.

    i have tried a couple of different ones before but they never work properly.

    Veet's hair removal cream is really good, albeit a little expensive.

    The ordinary boots/superdrug strips are all right, but you need a lot and it takes a long time.
    I find veet removal cream works quite well, but it stings and smells really bad. Also I don't think it lasts as long as waxing, but not sure.

    I've found ready to use strips average at best. I know what you mean about not having time to heat up wax. Have you tried Nad's hair removal gel? You don't really have to heat that up, you just use it at room temperature (though I've had to pop it in the microwave for 15 seconds or so, my room is quite cold). I've found applying the wax yourself, although takes longer, seems to cling to more hairs, so I've had better results with that than Veet's ready to use wax strips.
