Why's it taken you so long? Genuine question - I've always assumed it would be too painful. How did you pluck up the courage? (excuse plucking pun)

mylastrolo · 05/07/2007 23:27

Describe the pain.

How long were your leg hairs before you went?

Did you do it yourself?

If you did it yourself did you worry that you would put the wax on, be too scared to pull it off and that it would set and you would have wax on your legs forever?

or is that just me?

I have had totally natural childbirth but am tooooooooo scared to wax!

totally natural childbirth you'll walk it!!!! no waxing women did it and was fab helped that is was the start of my cycle which i understand. sore stinging like plaster coming off but not bad just get on with it and you know we are made of strong stuff a man would faint

I've always blamed it on being blonde (in the most genuine way before anyone suggests I'm making anti blond commments). Breastfeeding hurt like hell. I really tried hard with one of those epilady things but it was like torture.

peaches ye right blonde here i'am afraid so doesn't apply to me. all i had myself all geared up for it and braced myself and it worked. has to be said i am not very hairy i know lucky.

I had totally natural childbirth but was near to tears with waxing ESPECIALLY the bikini line, holy hell. Am now using that Veet in-shower stuff - works a treat, silky smooth legs and slow regrowth - and I am a hirsute, half-Asian type!

don't like the sound of that stargazing might have to keep try shower veet stuff instead just get legs done in future.
