    Have you got someone to give you a helping hand?

    It'll be hard to de-hair your own back, methinks...

    You can get someone to shave it off for you with clippers, or try using some Nair or Veet cream on it (try a test patch first).

    Sorry but no way could you wax your own back. You need someone to give a hand, even shaving same thing.

    You'd be better off getting a (close) friend to wax it for you. If you have it shaved, you'll get the annoying, spiky hairs growing back which will itch like mad.

    Of course, you could always try Veet for men?

    (Warning: do read the reviews first!)

    Try waxing a small area first. You are right, back hair isn't nice to look at :)
