  • Ok Does everyone just use exfoilating gloves or loofah to exfoliate or are there some more money saving or more efficent ways anyone has?

    Olive oil mixed with sugar or salt is supposed to work though haven't tried it myself.
    Here dead we lie because we did not choose
    To live and shame the land from which we sprung.
    Life, to be sure, is nothing much to lose,
    But young men think it is,
    And we were young.

    I personally think you should be as nature intended. I don't think there is any merit in looking unnatural and if you legs and underarms are hairy so what.
    I have no problem with leaving my legs hairy, but then I don't often show them off. However, I do sort my underarms out at irregular intervals because they just feel too hot and sweaty if I don't!
    I know loads of men who couldn't care less one way or the other. But I don't know many women who haven't been taken in by the idea of what we're 'supposed' to look like. (Including clothing, make up, hair or lack of it...)
    I don't think DH would have noticed I had my armpits waxed last week. I told him when we did our weekly diary check because I've made another appointment for 6 weeks (they've got a 20% discount that week!)
    I wonder if men worry about their appearance as much?
    On the whole, not. At least not the ones I know. But then I'd say I'm one of the women who hasn't been taken in by what I'm 'supposed' to look like. Clothes have to be both comfortable and practical, AND cover me! Haven't been able to buy a new top for ages because they're all designed to show your midriff these days! So maybe the men I mix with take after me, or vice versa ...

    Er... does anyone else have hairs around their nipples? (I can't quite believe I'm typing these words). And if so what do you do about them?? I've been tending to pluck them but I'm slightly concerned that they just grow back bigger. And longer. And darker...

    Any advice (unless I'm the only person out there with them) welcome!

    It's a problem a lot of women have, even fair skinned one's like me. I used to pluck them out but this doesn't solve the problem so I had electrolisis which kills them at the root and they don't grow back. Expensive but worth it for hair free boobies :p

  • Ive been using NADs i first saw it on the telly and its the best thing ive ever bought.
    I use old t shirts,sheets and cut strips out of them.i then just wash them so i never have to buy any.
    It cost me £19 a tub two years ago and ive still got loads.The hair on my legs and pits is so thin now i only use it about twice a year and a lot of hairs just dont grow anymore. i use it on my pits to less than one min and there clean and clear for months i just puck one or two that get missed.
    NADS is 100% natural the makers even say you can eat it. :j

    I shave various parts of my body, just because I find it more hygenic.
    I also like the look of it - and have had no complaints from the ladies.

    I am truly half evolved and look something like big foot when I dont shave-which is often because my BF lives in another country so unless he is visiting, I cant be bothered. I was interested in laser treatment. There use to be really cheap places advertised in the newspapers, but not anymore. So in true moneysaving style-I shave, about once a month for legs and bikini line, twice a week for the pits! :o Not spending too much on razors1 :rolleyes:
