What is your preferred method of hair removal for anywhere that you remove hair from on your body?

Because i am a wimp and I don't dare wax, its shaving for legs, armpits and lady garden, plucking for eyebrows.

    Shaving legs and underarms because I can't wait out the regrowth period :yuK:

    Wax eyebrows and ze bikini line myself. Much less embarrassing than having someone do it for you, and after the first time you can just follow the shape they created. Way cheaper too. Plucking takes me too long on the old eyebrows, and shaving down here is not an option for me. Wax on, wax off :thumb:

    I've tried cream but never seems to be good!
    Shaving and waxing eyebrows tho!
    I'm goin on holiday in the summer and I'm tempted to try waxing but I'm not comfortable with my body and would find it strange and wouldn't know what to do preperation wise!!

    Don't worry kaff, I have plenty of stray chin hairs too.

    I shave everything except my eyebrows, which I pluck.

    Well, I do when my sister hasn't stolen my tweezers. I feel like a gorilla atm :(.

    I wouldn't mind, but occasionally the lovely Mr K will say (much more loudly than he intends to) "Your beard hair is back. I can see it glistening in the sunlight." :crying:

    That's mean! Mine aren't too bad, but it is annoying because random long black hairs just seem to appear on my face out of nowhere :(.

    a lottt for laser like £160 per session (i think) but im getting arms too..but i imagine less for electrolysis and it would probably be better cuz it's quite a small area to treat

    I wax everything (even the naughty bits).

    It is so much easier and the more you do it, the thinner and lighter your hair get - so the in between stage is ok cos you can hardly see my hair until it gets really loong anyway.

    And because i've been doing it for so long (around 2 years) it does not even hurt anymore :)

    its not that bad, but would recommend you get another area waxed first so you are used to what its like. I do my own these days-brave or stuuupid?
