Anyone ever done it? How much does it hurt? How long does it last?

Re: Waxing your legs

I've found that waxing doesn't last long enough to be worth the hassle (other than on my lip where stubble is a huge YUCK). It's such a large area that it takes quite a bit of time and because hair grows in cycles, you could wax and be smooth one day but hair folicles that were idle at the point of waxing could start growing the next day.
I'm fine with shaving.

Re: Waxing your legs

I've never waxed. Just never appealed to me.

Re: Waxing your legs

I use to wax my bikini area and OMG did it hurt, I had to get the hubby to do it LOL.

My hair on my legs/arms/underarms/down there grows very very slow so I only shave about once a month and I am good

I wish I had my mom's genes though, she has NO hair on her body other then her head! Lucky lady!

Re: Waxing your legs

I only wax my eyebrows and occasionally my lips (about 3-4 times a year). I'm considering doing a bikini wax, but it just sounds so painful and I'm such a wimp! I might try my legs.

Re: Waxing your legs

the bikini area does hurt...but if you get someone to do it for you it isn't as bad. LOL I tried it myself and couldn't pull the wax off....which hurt even more

Re: Waxing your legs

I have my eyebrows and lip waxed. I am not brave enough to try my legs. Too large of an area. OUCH! Shaving works for me.

Asiancracker...WOW! What I wouldn't do to only shave once a month! My hair is dark and I have to shave at least every other day. I do the wax thing on my face about every 3-4 weeks.

Re: Waxing your legs

I must have a lot of stetosterone sp?? My hair grows back the next day. I do wax my brow, lip and bikini area. Have never done the legs and wouldn't want too. I don't care if I have to shave them everyday it's just too large of an area.
