The only hair on my body is on my head. I have been practicing hair removal for so long l can’t remember having hair and back to the days when Veet was called Immac.
Over as many years l have flitted between waxing and sometimes “Veet assisted” shaving.
The benefits of waxing are that the regrowth is softer and you stay smoother longer. Any discomfort becomes negligible as your body becomes used to it. Never go for a wax just before your period though. Against this, you have to put up with the regrowth, so it’s a fine balancing act.
To shave, make sure you have a sharp, preferably new blade, the Gillette Raspberry Venus is good but avoid shaving creams etc and use a good quality hair conditioner. The razor then glides.
Veet Sensitive is another option, if you have a little regrowth, but don’t assume, do the spot test first. And don’t run away with the idea that because you don’t have any reaction on your legs, you won’t elsewhere. Rather than the plastic thingy, you can “coax” the hair away with the razor too. Downside is that it doesn’t smell very nice.
For a while, l used a Phillips (? I think) Bikini Perfect, but didn’t replace it when it broke. It didn’t cut quite so close but may be a good option for those with sensitive skin and fine for a daily whizz over before your morning shower.
All the above may cause a little itching at first but it’s amazing how the body gets used to it and that goes away for good.
It certainly feels nicer in the warm weather. And yes, it increases sensitivity.
