You could have it waxed, it will get thinner over time that way and usually takes about a month to come back. You can buy facial waxing strips so I am thinking of giving that a go as cheaper than getting it done at the beauticians. I have found that effective in it just not being there any more. No experience of threading unfortunately.

You need a spring ! Search on eBay for threading and it's a a spring, costs a couple of quid - love mine

Threading on upper lip is effective but sooooooo painful! Also each Romeo get spots so it puts me off I'm afraid. I think I'd be more willing to go with waxing as it's quicker.

Where the feck did Romeo come into it? Flipping spellcheck ..

I would either go for threading or waxing.

I tried immac this morning, I've had a reaction to it. My face is bright red and swollen and I will not be able to leave the house for days!

I am now in hiding.

Threading. I had it waxed for years and I am certain waxing has caused some broken capilliaries. The getting thinner over time thing is a myth IME and in anycase, if it's true of waxing it will be true of threading as the principal is the same - i.e. ripping hair out from roots.

Re. spots, I used to get tiny little pimples sometimes after threading, but can honestly say that hardly happens at all now. It was as if it took a few goes for my skin to get used to being threaded, if that makes sense.

Get an cold flannel on it uggmum. Maybe try putting flannel in the freezer for a few minutes to get it cold. Don't use the after care cream which comes with it, I find that it's that that makes it worse.

You can gently remove fine hair on your top life using these

They do them in the pound shop and you can get ones that slip on your index finger and you gently remove hair using circular movements.

No chemicals, takes a few minutes and is very gentle.

I bought them for my daughter because I didn't want her using a razor or creams that may cause a burn.

You need a Epistick

I sometimes thread mine but usually I just tweeze them - where do you live? In N London it costs a fiver to get your lip threaded but be warned not all people doing it are that great.

how do you use the epistick? Mine came with no instructions. And does it leave a red rash like threading and waxing?

I'd recommend threading - I used Veet on my blonde tache for years but it started to irritate my skin and because it all grew back at the same rate the hair was more noticeable, plus I had to do it about every 4th day. Now I get it threaded at the same time as having my eyebrows done - once a fortnight, it hurts but takes 2 mins, and have only had a couple of small.pimples. regrowth is softer and more natural looking too - not blunt like with cream. costs £7.50 to get brows and top lip done in my local Superdrug and all the ladies who do it there are really good. Only snag is that they are right by the till so you get an audience!

I've felt loads less self-conscious about it since swapping to threading and have become quite evangelical about it!

I bend my epistick (or spring as I call it) and put it over the area I want to do and straighten it. No idea if that's right but it works for me ...

I've just ordered the spring/epistick. Hope it works I'm contending with DP in the tache stakes right now

- Bend Epistick into an inverted "U"

- Place it against the hairs

- Holding the handles, twist Epistick in opposite directions

- The hairs are trapped between the tightly coiled spring which grips and removes them in one swift movement

Its a bit tricky to start, but you soon get the hang of it!

Immac facial wax strips. A good rub between your hands to warm them beforw you pull them apart. Stick on well and pull off quick! First couple of times hurts until you get the knack. Then it's 2 minutes every 2 weeks in the privacy of your bathroom and it costs next to nothing.

Another Epistick fan here. Waxing leaves me spotty, threading means I have to walk through town with a huge red area, I am allergic to the creams. The spring is fab.

Another vote for the epistick. No zits, takes less than a minute every few data to keep on top of regrowth, cheap and so much less faff than any other method.

*days not data

I might have to give this Epistick a go!

bend and roll!

It doesnt seem to get them all. Do you keep going over the same bit?

yup
