I wax my chest and back but wax strips fucking hurt, is there anything else that will remove the hairs from the root? I was thinking something like this http://www.boots.com/shop/product_details.jsp?productid=1060961&classificationid=1039098

but in bigger sizes.

    Hair removal cream might help?

    Used that before, it only last for a couple days and it's itchy as hell when the hairs grow back and get spots and ingrowing hairs.

    Sorry to sound dumb, so does the cream you use remove the root?

    Out of interest, why wax your chest...?

    I find waxing hurts less if you get it done professionally, they can get a better angle and know exactly what they're doing. Other than that, an epilator is likely to be just as painful :nervous: , and hair removal cream smells and doesn't last as long, but at least it's pain free.

    A. Because it looks a lot better - I'm quite hairy

    B. I tend to get spots from the hairs.

    all 3 of the nair range I've tried (purple one, sensitive one and rasperry one) smell good enough to eat:lol: and last at least a week if not two so is much quicker and easier than shaving.

    Apparently with the epilator it will hurt the first few attempts but after you've been doing it a while its virtually pain free, although if you havent been getting the waxes done professionally that would be an improvement as well.
    Thats not true, epilators hurt everytime :(

    Epilating is the most excrutiating thing I've ever experienced. Never again ta.
