Legs & underarms, do you wax or shave?
I'm a shaver purely for the cost!! I've tried to wax myself & it was a disaster. I had my legs waxed professionally before Zander was born & loved it, but it's too expensive ongoing.

Shaver here.... can't afford waxing... and can't stand the pain!!
Shaving is a real pain though... I have to shave legs & underarms every day... hairy genes here :rolleyes:
I get sooo lazy in winter!! Been 2 weeks since I bothered :redface:
ETA: That's with legs only, underarms get every second day otherwise it feels gross!
Shave - quicker, cheaper, painless but if i could afford to wax and had the time i would as feels nicer.
For smaller areas i also use a little hair removal machine which pulls the hair out like waxing but takes forever to do legs etc.
Shave.
I had my legs eyebrows, bikini line waxed b4 my wedding. OUCH!! Legs were the worst, do not want that again!!
Shave - even when I had my legs waxed I was never brave enough to do the 'pits.
self waxer here.. or emjoi....prolly countthe number of times i have shaved my legs on my fingers....
shave the legs,arm pits and bikini but have my eye brows waxed!!
I love a wax ... even the pain (perverse! I know!). Because of cost, I wax my own underarms, which isn't that messy or hard really (I use a veet wax) but do the emjoi thing on my legs. I get my bikini professionally done though. Now that I am 33w pg I have recently done the legs and think that I may have to get those done before birth professionally as it does get a bit much with all that bending over!
shave, shave, shave !!
1/2 ...1/2.....i wax underarms....shave legs.
I bought a proper wax heater about 2 years ago. I got 6 tubs (tablets there called) of wax.....im up to my 4th one. Yes, waxing hurts, but i can let my underarms go 5 weeks and only then do i see a slight shadow. Too expensive and time consuming to do my legs. Im not a hairy gal when it comes to legs anyway.
No pain no gain ladies.
wax..wax...wax
i am to lazy to shave... and its ahrd to shave when i share most of my showers with DD & DS..
i am very overdue for a wax at the moment! will need to make an appointment!
I shave my armpits and my legs for sure.... never had them waxed don't see the point to be honest... i wax my face thats enough pain!!!!!
I LOVE a wax...underarms & legs. But I have to say I'm not hairy at all anyway :) When I first started, about 5 years ago, the waxer thought I'd been having it done for years, because there was so little to take off. I always have it done professionally. I tried myself but it was a disaster! This way it's a bit of "me time" every couple of months. I don't need to have it done often...legs a bit more often in the summer, that's all.
Renstar it will retard the growth of your hair follices over time when waxing....i suppose thats the main advantage over shaving.....no *****ly bits .:
never had them waxed don't see the point to be honest...
I am a waxer for everything but the armpits!
I haven't always been that way, I am a wos with pain!
A bit of both - wax by preferance but I'll get the razor out if I need a quick touch-up or I'm feeling povo.
Shave legs... Shave underarms... Get my bikini line waxed!!
I tried to wax my bikini myself once but got stuck ripping it off.... the pain is incredible!! Worse than childbirth I'd say!! :p
I'm a shaver also. I do my under arms every second day and in winter my legs every two weeks and it has to be done the night before i weigh in don't ask why as i have no idea why i do it that way.
Shave.
Have had my legs waxed a few times, but not willing to fork out the money for it all the time. It's for an occassional treat though. Would never wax under my arms, just the thought brings tears to my eyes!
Wax. I cant be bothered to shave everyday (hairy genes thanks to mum) and waxing at least lasts a couple of weeks. Ive been lazy though. My legs are soo hairy - havent waxed them since just before Xmas. I dont really find waxing particularly painful.
Shave... used to wax legs when I was in my 20s so the growth is a little sparcer than it was. I also use an SilkEpil on my legs a few times a year when I get keen. DH doesn't mind when I let it grow which i am grateful for.
Another shaver. :D
Love
I wax my bikini & eyebrows, shave underarms & legs im not really hairy at all and when the hair grows on my legs you dont really see it (lucky me). I actually use to get told when i was in Primary school that i shaved my legs and arms because no one could see the hair. They use to think i was lying!
Its funny because my beautician thinks i have hardly any hair, but when im due for a wax in the bikini area my DH calls me "HAIRY MCLEARY"! What would he know!!
