new mum needs help with shaving

[basboseh]

hi
i know it`s every woman's proplem.
i realy don't have time to wax anymore.
since i had my baby i shaved using my hubby's razers.i don't feel smooth anymore.
i tried some wierd mats from superdrug.they are owful.
what do you mums do to be smooth when you don't have time?

hair removal cream can be done same time as ironing, dusting etc

do you know if it's effective on dark thick hair? and quick as well?
i have really dark hair.

can you reccomend anyone you actually tried?

mines quite dark too,i have olive skin. i just use the sensitive skin ones i get in superdrug (big tubes)

when do hair come back after shaving with a cream?
will i be shaving every two days?
will it cost me a fortune to use cream?

mine grows back after about 5 days, but slowly and softer than before, and not so dark looking.

the big tubes cost around £3(sometimes they are on offer) and that does my whole legs (toe to top-and theyre 34inches long)about 3 times, so about £3 a fortnight.

i find that alot easier than bloody shaving!

oh and it takes about ten mins

Sorry, no help on the hair removal, but just wanted to say, Scorpio - ironing?? Dusting??. When you could be on Mumsnet?

It gets easier when they get older

All new mums have terrifying body hair

Eventually you will get evenings back or baby will potter in the bathroom or sit in his chair and watch you while you witter on with amusing songs etc. while you get zippy with the razors

well what can i say,im a clean freak!feel a little addicted to MN actually . . .

. You're not alone there.

...really highly recommend the new lady razors that have the soap built in.

Fab...

so sames faffing around with razors and shaving cream and all the bits.

take your baby with you and go and get waxed!!!!! Ok, OK - I'm a beauty therapist, so I do get to do my own when baby is asleep. But wax - I started shaving for a bit after baby was born as I couldn't be bothered to wax. WRONG!!!! hairs are never ever the same as when you wax!!!!!!!
