    I hate to say it but I have never waxed or shaved my legs:eek: Thankfully my hairs are fine and you can't see them.

    my hairs are fine and you can't see them either - but when my OH does wookiee impressions on feeling them, it usually means it's time to get rid!! i'm all for epilating now - i do it when i get the time and in the long run, it's working out cheaper than waxing my legs and shaving under my arms!

    I don't like pain - waxing or epilating and I'm Far Too Lazy to shave.

    I use creams and have found Boots own brand sensitive the best http://www.boots.com/shop/product_details.jsp?productid=1070279

    It's £6 for a tube but that does me a full leg, bikini and underarms (with a little left over for "inbetween times"). It's more sensitive than even the Veet sensitive, iyswim.
    We may not have it all together, but together we have it all :beer:

    I used to use Nair and it was minging!

    I totally recommend Boots Expert range!

    I use a combination of boots expert razors and boots expert hair remover cream as i love it. I have recently been tattood on my legs and couldnt get the razor over them for obvious reasons, ive only just healed properly and felt comfy enough to do it but the Boots Expert cream worked wonders, as you can imagine the hair around the tattoo was pretty long after about 4/5 month! Thankfully ive been able to cover it up and shave round it though!
