Are there any hair removal creams that actually work?

I have very dark hair and literally, if I shave m legs in the morning they will be visibly stubbly by evening. I haven't bothered with creams for my legs as tey just do nothing but am using veet for my bikini area. I even tried the immac one for coarse hair but it was the same, maybe slightly better but I still have to leave it on way longer than they advise and still have to go over it with a razor!

Any one else have this problem? Any tips please? Can't afford waxing and am a wimp anyway.

I used to get my bikini line waxed but have used Veet for the past year or so. It's nowhere near as effective and only lasts a few days but it doesn't hurt or require finding time without dd to get to a salon etc.

I have recently used a Veet hot wax in a yellowy/orange tub that you can heat in the microwave or in a pan and is brilliant. It takes a little bit of practice and is even better if you have a willing helper but thoroughly recommend it.

Thanks will have a look at the wax although not sure am brave enough! I find veet doesnt even remove all the hair, certainly not smoothly and stubble appears by next day but it does seem better then the alternative of shaving esecially for the ahem harder to reach bits. Just get fed up of the constant work for poor results!!
