How easy is it (and painless) to wax your own lower legs?

I tried my bikini line once with strips and there was blood as I seemed to remove more skin than hair.

But just seen an ad for something where you melt your own wax and then just pull the wax off....no cotton strips. It looked ok? Am I fooling myself?

Really easy, I use salon system just wax which has a plug in heater and wax cartridges. Then use cotton strips. You need to make sure you pull your skin taut before removing, and try to remove the strip as close to your leg as possible...ie pulling it back quickly almost doubling on top of itself, rather than up and away from the leg.. It's no more painful than having it done at the salon.

Very easy. I started off with the pre-waxed strips then moved on to the pot of wax you microwave and spread on.
It hurts at first, especially round your ankles. But you get used to it.

Thanks, I’m going to be brave and try it. I just don’t have time to keep going to the salon.
