i get my bikini line (and eyebrows, but then i wouldn't shave them anyway!) waxed and shave my legs and under my arms.

i think i might get everything waxed before i go on holiday just because it's easier.

I tried the waxing strips last year on my legs but they were so annoying. They were messy and I had to wait ages to use them. I my try having them done at a salon or something for my hols though.

I always shave, only ever waxed once and it was so painful that I haven't tried it since :eek:

I think I might have done it wrong though :redface:

I'm going to a salon to be waxed before my month-long trip round Europe, seems the most sensible (albeit bl*ody painful) thing to do.

Shaving because I hate having to wait while the hairs grow back so I can wax. If you wax you spend as much time with hairy legs as without!

yeah, but when you are unlikely to be near a proper bathroom for a month?
or when you are rocking about on a boat? don't fancy using anything sharp, let alone a razor!!

I use an epilator on my underarms because I've got dark hair so I have a permenant shadow if I just shave, and I use it on my bikini line as far as I can go until the pain gets too much, then I shave the rest of it. Every few months I decide to wax and do half a leg before giving up because it's taking ages, then I spend weeks trying to remove the excess wax and swear I'll never do it again. But I always do.

Shaven/Waxed girls rule. If you know someone who doesn't, how can you convince them to?

I epilate or shave. Don't like growing hairs long enough to wax. Epilating is like waxing but without the pain of having burning hot liquid smeared on your skin.

Sammy - how long do you have to wait before epilating your underarms again?

what about cold wax strips, how well do they work?

I've just started having my legs waxed instead of shaving them and i prefer it. There is the annoying waiting for the regrowth to get long enough but i usually pluck the odd hair that comes back for the first week or so and then just leave it. The more i do it the less regrowth there will be. The bikini line hurts like hell though :eek:

YO rite!! shaving makes the hair grow back thicker than the last time u had :eek:

on the other hand a skincare specialist told me tht if u wax after ur periods the hair growth is reduced everytime u do it (the pores r closed or sumthing like tht), so go for it!!..Atleast i would! :smile:
