    I wet shave twice a day, if i had to pluck the hairs out there would be about 150! my skin isnt suitable to laser, the pigment is too dark, apparently i have spanish ancestors, and it could cause a permanent dark patch.

    i currently epilate but was considering laser though this might not be possible now, what skin colour are you? I am olive so will laser not be suitable for me then?

    Op have you heard about Vaniqua? Its a cream prescribed by your GP for this very reason. The hair stops growing (apparently only while the cream is being used, if you stop it grows back) but may be worth a try. I remember Dr Chris Steel talking about it on This Morning
    I have realised I will never play the Dane! :(

    Where are my medals? Everyone else on here has medals!! :p

    Thanks skypie123. Have just checked it out. Around the £70+ mark if not being prescribed. May be worth a try, seeing as I've tried everything else!!!

  • Dr Chris Steel swore by it and if you tell your GP this is affecting you mentally they will prescribe it.
    I suffer with this and have done since I was 8. It's awful.
    I am still at the waxing/threading stage but will be going for Vaniqua before too long!

    I used this some years ago on a private script and it was very good at slowly the hair return, but my skin hated it. Its just no win isn't it?
  • Ah bummer. Everything works but nothing works (if you get me) :p

    That sounds interesting, thank you
    CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J
