    If you wax you really do need to exfoliate to prevent ingrowing hairs.

    Superdrug do some exfoliating gloved for something like £2.99 a pair and they really are brilliant. Just add a little shower gel and use them all over. They keep your legs and arms smooth and silky.

    Don't get clever and use them on your face though, as they are TOO rough.

    Trust me on this :o

    Also presumably not on your bikini area? One of the reasons I have never had an all-off waxing is I can't bear the idea of ingrown hairs on the really sensitive bits. You can't use any of the gels either, cos they all contain mild acids. :eek:

    I'm intrigued by the brazilian; what areas does it get rid of? I know it leaves you with a strip at the front, but did someone say they do 'underneath' :o and, umm, bottom? ALL of the underneath? (cripes I bet that hurts), and bottom... well, surely not the cheeks?? Which only leaves one other bum part, which would have to be, well, pulled apart... ? (sorry, I tried so hard to word this post politely)

    (Disclaimer: I do not have hairy bum cheeks.)

    Yep, all of it, apart from a little landing strip. :D

    Are there any that leaves your bottom alone (The Liverpudlian... The Mancunian :D)? Mine really isn't a problem and I don't fancy it being messed with :D Everything else I'd be ok with, but not my bum!
