Hair removal creams

DD off on a Spanish sports trip soon and wants to remove the hair on her legs.
Fair enough.
What's the best thing- I don't want her to shave, and haven't used things like Immac/Veet since I was a teenager.
Would prefer not to go down the waxing route yet- don't think she'd stand the pain!!!
She's nearly 14 BTW, not 7, just before this turns into an argy bargy about the sexualisation of children

If she was my DD I'd be much happier about her waxing (or even shaving) than using a hair removal cream. It's nasty stuff.

Just explain how painful waxing is and book her an appointment if she's up for it. NOT in the week before her period though, 'tis much more painful then.

DTD- luckily no periods yet. Yes she manages to have a cluster of 13 veruccas frozen off with not too much of a fuss!

deaddei, my daughter tried hair removal cream and it brought her out in a rash of spots. She shaves now and uses thiswww.wilkinsonsword.co.uk/women/showroom/intuition_pomegranate

She's never cut herself using it and it works really well

Thanks MsDav- I do worry about reactions to creams.
