Hair removal

6 replies

Hey ladies!
I was wondering if you could help me. I want to get rid of my leg hair (not waxed since year 9! So quite a few years…) as it’s coming up to summer season.

im against shaving as imo it doesn’t really do the job (my personal view btw not having a go). Last time I tried to wax them on my own I got the wax pretty much trapped on my leg to the point my dad had to scrape it off Blush it was that stuck.

does anyone have any alternatives to strips? Or maybe it was just me who fudged it up, waxing isn’t a possibility anymore as I’m too busy

By waxing I mean when you go to a salon type

Why can't you book a salon appointment to have it done?

FWIW I use an epilator in the shower as my preferred choice of hair removal.

I use IPL at home combined with shaving for legs. IPL is long term and expensive but pretty good.

which epilator do you have that can be used in the shower?

Mine is a Phillips. You'll need a wet and dry model for use in the bath / shower.
