Leg hair removal

I have polycystic ovaries which makes me very hairy. Waxing is very expensive so I tend to shave. However I'm finding the razors becoming blocked with hair and stopping them working. Can anyone recommend a product for me? Thank you

Do you go to a salon for waxing or do your own?
If its a salon , there's loads of hime kits . Heated wax, cold wax, wax strips ,
I use Nads Sugaring on my armits ( it's a non heat , texture like honey )
I've not tried pre-waxed strips since the 80s and they didn't work then

For my legs , an epilator , less faff than waxing . Discomfort level is similar but waxing is quicker . You need to exfoliate and there's a bigger risk of ingrown hairs .
My regrowth is finer and the hairs are lighter .

I haven't tried IPL or laser type , I don;t know how they'd work for you .

Basically shaving is quick , but you're cutting at skin level and it's a blunt hair . I know my armpits had the 5 o'clock shadow when I shaved !

That's very much. I'll have a go with the nads wax :)

I like hair removal cream. I get it from home bargains or £1 shop and it works brilliantly for me and doesn’t cost a bomb!
