Underarm waxing - how long does it last for you?

I had mine done last Tues for hols. It's starting to look a little "scruffy" already. Is this the best I can expect?! I don't have it done regularly, partly because it doesn't seem to last, partly because of the cost and partly because I can't wait another 6 weeks in sleeves until I can have it done again. It seems to regrow really fast.

I get a rash and bad ingrowing hairs if I shave, especially every day on hols. Am I doomed to this? Veet or similar has absolutely no effect on my underarm hair. Maybe mine is made of kryptonite? Confused

The more you do it the longer it lasts. I've been doing it for years as like you I can't shave. It's over three weeks since I had it done and there are only a few hairs - I'm off to the gym this morning happy to wear a vest, as the hairs are only visible if someone were to have their face about six inches from my underarms.

Get an epilator.
