Have had one attempt at waxing my legs that just ended up an hour wasted with a gooey mess and half hairy legs. What do you use that works please?

It's the only way I found to deal with mine - couldn't get to grips with waxing at all, always ended up in a mess and still covered in hair.

sigh...anyone else know of a miracle product?

a beautician - too much of a wimp to do it myself!

Dh waxed my legs once and he enjoyed seeing me in painGrin

beautician is about £16 for half leg so not bad considering it is only every 6 weeks. That is in London too so probably cheaper elsewhere.

Waxing by beautician is best but if you cant face it Veet is excellent rather than wax.......

One of those machines you can buy that plucks it out for you. Mind, you have to have had a glass of wine beforehand ....

Agree with Carla, get an epilator, not as painful as waxing(only really painfull the first time you use it, after that the hairs come out easily), you can use them when the hairs are short, they start at less than the cost of two 1/2 leg waxes and you can do all areas. I have very dark fast growing hair and it has been a God send for me.

Epilator - would rather have another baby.

Gave mine away.
