hair removal (merged)

Well what did you do when you were a 12 year old?

Let her shave; buy her an electric razor if you think she might harm herself!

If you spend a decent amount on a decent razor, your daughter should be fine. Or as gordon says, buy an eletric razor. My mum bought me one a few years ago, but it hurt so i did not use it . Or you could ask your daughter what she would like to use

good luck x

The silky mitts are great - you just buff the hair away. Exfoliates the skin too

I'd get her something like this:
Phillips Ladyshave

It's rechargeable and she can use it in the shower as well, as it can be used wet or dry.

I got one when I was round about the same age and had no problems at all.

is it painful to use an electric shaver. I use a normal razor but dont like using it, sometimes i use NAIR which is a hair removal cream.

Wise, very wise lol

I don't know, I guess they probably work ok for some but I didn't thinkit worked with the hair removal that well and when I persevered it kind of ended up like a dry razor rash... ouchh

id rather not use it lol, my skin is sensitive as it is, cant do with a rash as its painful. Have you ever tried a lady shaver? I want to get one but i have read it can be painful.

I just got a Silky Mitt and I find it quite good to use, on bits of the body without bends in anyway! I find it easier that shaving and as long as I follow the instructions exactly, moisturise and use the damp towel, I don't get any rash.

However, as the OP's post was about underarm hair, I definately wouldn't recommend the silky mitt for that! I used to have a ladyshave electric shaver when I first started shaving and that worked well (though I still managed to cut myself!, no idea how!) but a safety razor is just as good.

I've also tried things like Veet but I always get a bit fed up with them as they take so long to work and the speed of regrowth isn't much slower than shaving for me.
