How often do you wax?

I am quite hairy and have my arms, legs, underarms and (recently) my bikini area waxed. The lady in the salon said you should have it done every 3 weeks. I am just wondering how often everyone else waxes. Thanks.

every day, twice on Sundays

Never.

Never again. I had my legs and bikini line done before DS was born. It was uncomfortable, not nearly as close as a shave and I ended up with a gross boil thing due to an ingrown hair on my bikini line. Grim.

Razor all the way for me.

I'm a hairy lady too. When I get it done regularly I go every 4-5 weeks. If I go sooner then the hairs are too sparse. 3 weeks seems a bit soon to me...and as I said I am a Hairy Mary.

3-4 weeks in summer, less frequently in winter.

never.I shave

Every 5 weeks in the summer hardly ever in the winter.

4-5 weeks-ish.

That's really helpful, thanks. I was hoping that I could get away with only waxing on 'the first Saturday of the month" (after pay day). It seems that I can, judging by the responses. Thanks.

One of my clients in a glamour model and waxes every part of her body (including her bum cheeks) every week. When she told me this, I suddenly felt like a hairy slattern Grin
