with apologies to charlotte, ocean and littlemissy who are just heading into winter...

i shaved my legs today and thought afterward... that was silly, i should have just got out my cold wax and started the summer season

how about you?
do you wax all year?
just once in a while?
do it at home or treat yourself at the salon?
maybe you have never waxed??

i am also planning a trip to the salon for some other waxing soon
but am a little nervous about the whole procedure
not the waxing itself... i actually don't mind the pain
just the whole "having someone else remove your body hair" kinda thing

men can share their stories too if you go get your bum waxed or something

I was thinking the same thing. Gonna try waxing. Rather do it myself. Some good products out there.

never waxed


unless hot candle wax on my ___ counts ?

the cold wax is really just a sugaring product... i like it better than the hot wax
easy to clean up and easy to keep warm


mach now i have all sorts of naughty images running through my mind

wax on ... wax off

I don't wax, I shave every day.

I don't like the idea of having to wait for the hair to be long enough to wax.

I've had my moustache done.

I remain hairy all year round (I am not very hairy, so I never bother)

I shave everyday! But I'll also not very hairy at all. I'm lucky.

I would get all my shit waxed if I had the cash, but alas, I do not.

Are you a man?

I'm just starting to make waxing part of my routine (full leg & bikini). I've shaved up to now but I just don't wanna be bothered with it this summer. I'll probably do it less often in the winter though

I don't know! that's me on the right

My back I used to shave it every three days with an adaptable back scrubber but now it's just easier to get it waxed every other week.

I'm used to the pain now.

I've never waxed my legs.
Frankly, I'm quite lucky in the leg hair department. I honestly only shave if I know someone's gonna see them, and with as pale as I am, even in the summer, that's quite rare. And I never shave above my knee. I simply don't have hair on my thighs. Well, there's hair, but it's like the hair on the back of your hand, only visible if you're looking really, really closely.
As for waxing other, er, areas, I generally only do that if I know someone's gonna see that also. Although I do keep nice and trimmed and I use a cream remover for a nice bikini line.

my mum's leg hairs are practically non-existent! so she never taught me anything about hair-removal

ZombieKitten said:

My mother didn't teach me a thing about hair removal either, but mainly cause she just doesn't care about that kinda thing. She never, ever wears make up and she has no fashion sense whatsoever. I love her, but we're very, very different women. I think she was a tomboy growing up. I had to learn all the girly stuff from friends and by experimenting on my own. It's funny now, though, cause I'm the one teaching her about this stuff. When she finally grew enough hair back to do something with after her chemo last year, I took her to my stylist for a makeover. We waxed her brows, colored and cut away. It was fun, and I think she enjoyed being girly for once.

CarrieMpls said:

How's she doing now?
I am so NOT girly I am lucky I have 3 boys!

ZombieKitten said:

She's doing great!

Thanks for asking.

CarrieMpls said:
