At-home waxing

Right - I'm going to have to wax my legs and possibly bikini area at home myself.

Any tips or product recommendations?

Thanks!

Strips or hot wax, I'd lightly Talc the area before hand.
Although tempting to put lots of wax over a larger area it's a easier if you do smaller patches.
Hold the skin taught when removing the strip.
Bikini line, trim hair first.
If using prewaxed strips gently rub together in your hand to warm though before pulling them apart.
Take a painkiller and sit in on old towel.

I use a hot wax, which is warmed through in the microwave but it's it's your first time I'd go try pre waxed strips from Boots. I used Boots own brand and I get the box of 40 stips so you don't run out. Then I cut to size for bikini area.
Nair are also good.

I have no tips but just wanted to wish you the best of luck.
I learned my lesson re bikini line waxing at home - never ever again for me! Legs were a breeze so it seemed all fun and games.....until you nearly lose a flap.
