Questions in the poll.
And can someone throw some light on hair depilatories (creams)- as to whether they are safe to use? Obviously they have to react with the skin.


I just bought an epilator and creams are safe to use other wise they wouldn't be so widely used

It just depends on the person, doesn't it? Some people get reactions with creams - that's why they advise you to do a test patch first.

I get waxed. Hoping to have electrolysis done on my underarms soon but it is way too expensive to get my whole legs done, so will keep on waxing those for a while longer!
If you do wax or use the cream, always test it! One of my friends came out in a rash after waxing, wasn't pretty...

Don't use cream on your bikini line. The top of the thigh is fine but absolutely no further than that because the skin gets thin and burns very easily.

Wax my arms and bikini line, shave my knees upwards (but not bikini line), eplilate up to my knees and under my arms.
How complex its like a cocktail of methods.

Oh and i voted wrong, i read depilatory as epilator :redface:
I always just shave. It's inefficient and I'm never delighted with the results, but I'm also lazy and it's very quick.

I did too, which was what prompted me to have this poll
