    Lightbulb Waxing or shaving?

    Hi ladies...I was just curious as to what everyone else thinks...do you like shaving or waxing? Legs, bikini area, etc? Personally I don't mind shaving my legs and underarms, but I HATE shaving my bikini area; I am a big fan of the brazilian wax! So much easier never having to worry about ingrowns and itchy razor bumps etc...thoughts?

    When I didnt work, I did a full bazillian wax of about 6 months, it was great for 2 weeks, but when the hair starts coming in, it isnt comfortable waiting. It did make my hair thinner overall and still is!

    I shave now, it doesnt take much time, and I never get bumps or ingrows. I dont like the waiting period for waxing

    IPL!

    Or, at least that's my plan when I order my remington i-light in a week or so. not as permanent as laser since you have to do upkeep more often, but still way less than shaving.

    I don't often have a problem shaving down there, but the occasional unsightly ingrown makes me search for other alternatives. I did find laser VERY painful but would do that if it wasn't for how expensive it still is.

    I prefer waxing everywhere. I hate body hair.

    ugghhhh.. i always wanted to try waxing...anywhere..lol. but diabetes is one of the no-no's you'll see on every package and salons will refuse you service...so that's enough for me to not try it lol. my skin is super sensitive so i can't shave daily, or even weekly, really. my legs in the winter.. i go months! i use an electric shaver when it gets unbearable. but only certain patches are course the rest just kinda lays softly lol. if i could tolerate it and if someone would do it, i'd proly laser my pits.

    I use an epilator. All the effectiveness of waxing, without having to wait for it to grow like half an inch to rip it out. Also costs a fuckload less.

    Ugh I hate trying to control bikini line/pubic hair. How do you ladies shave there with no problems? It pulls and rashes. Waxing sounds too painful to me, not to mention still haivng to do it regulalry. I'm going to try lasering when I can afford it.
    In the meantime i use hair removal cream, it's a bit of a faff but no pain or irritation. Not sure if there's risks of ingrown hairs though? Even that does not seem to work well for the front hair though.

    Also seems weird but i have no idea if i am more hairy/it's more stubborn than anyone else. I've never seen other girls' natural hair and most girls at work are pretty bald- no idea if they remove it or have minimal hair naturally! Anyone else wonder about this?

    Definitely shaving.

    I found this razor: http://www.schickhydro.com/products-hydrofive.asp and it's been great. It's a dude's razor, but whatever, it totally works and leaves me with no ingrowns or razorburn, unlike the old one I was using.

    I've had one experience with hair removal cream. Never again. And I totes couldn't wait for the hair to get long enough to wax again, so shaving it is. Lazer someday, but until then, shaving like a dude.

    I don't think laser works on blonde hair.

    I shave, but it always irritates my skin me especially on my legs. I'm going to start getting under-arm/brazillian waxes and then if I like it and find somewhere good, I think I'll start getting my legs done too.
