Legs are easy compared with other bits. As long as you don’t react badly to it, possibly Veet, with an occasional wet shave touch up, using hair conditioner instead of soap or shaving lotion.

I’m not sure there is a completely painless solution unless you buy a lumea or the equivalent!

I epilate mine and have done for years, it doesn’t hurt at all anymore. Unfortunately veet just burns my skin so I can’t use it

An epilator is the quickest and easiest. It hurts the first few times, but is fine after that.
It hurts less if you take a painkiller a while before you epilate.

Anyone tried a "NoNo"?

Never tried one but I watched many of the demos on QVC (they don't have them showing in stock now)
They put a current or something into the follicle them you buff it off .
Users reported the smell of burning hair wasn't nice.

I use an epilator on my legs - not pain free more tingling - and sugaring wax on my armpits .

The no no was fine on my legs. I tried it out on my arms too. However, on my face was another matter. I had bought the bloody thing for my face too! I think because my facial hair has white/grey in it, possibly. Still pissed off though.

When I use cream it just makes the area very red and the next day, very strong hairs poke through!
