Any recommendations for bikini line and legs?

Don't do it. Can tolerate a Brazilian with barely a murmur when at the salon. The other week I bought a home wax kit to save some money - never again; I ended up part waxed as it was far too painful to do it myself!

I agree. I could NEVER steel myself to do my own bikini waxing. Also, professionals know how to do it quickly and efficiently. Go to a salon!

Really? There's no miraculous and easy products around? That's a shame!

I use Veet Hot Wax (the jar that yo put in the microwave then use the strips to remove)

I do my armpits with wax.
My legs with an epilator
And when I'm going on holiday, my bikini line.
It's a complete faff but my main tips:

Trim the hair to about 1cm.
Use an scrub to reduce the risk of ingrown hairs.
Dry thoroughly and apply a thin dust of talc.
I use small amounts at a time ( I do my armpits in one sweep but not for my bikini line Wink )
Rub the strip well then whisk off and keep the skin tight.

You can see why I only do this once a year Grin

Legs fine, bikini no no no.

I use Nair one use wax strips on legs, dead easy.

Yes to legs - Nair or Boots own brand are fine. Don't do it when you have pmt, it's more painful then (and you get more upset!)

Au naturel muff here so can't advise on the bikini.

Lol thanks everyone. I used to use an epilator but stopped because it's not advised if you have thread veins. I'm assuming waxing is ok.
