    Home waxing

    Just a question to anyone that does their own waxing. I really need to do my eyebrows but hate plucking and don't have the $$ for someone to wax them. Does anyone do them themselves and how hard is it? Also if anyone waxes their vjay jay themselves any advice would be great!

    I don't do either of my eyebrows (I am afraid of not getting a good shape) or vjay jay - I like mine almost fully off & I can't do it myself. The only things I wax are my underarms (not anymore since getting them IPL'd), half arm & bottom legs.

    I've done my eyebrows, and it was fine. Mine are blonde, and not too difficult to shape - I just "tidy" them up a bit.

    The bikini wax is a whole other ball game.... I tried that one and ended up in big trouble. I think my type of skin just isn't good for that, or something. I ended up bleeding and in a LOT of pain! Terrible. I decided to stick with shaving or depilatory cream for keeping that area tidy. But, there's lots of "home bikini wax" kits out there, so it must work for some people!

    i wax my own eyebrows, you can buy waxaway wax from priceline for about $15 bucks a tub, the one that just dries & you peel it off!
    i dont wax regularly so it hurts me, but i used to do it all the time & it was fine!

    i also have the wax where you need cloth for legs & vag.. im contemplating doing them as my belly is getting bigger and im not reaching as well down there with a razor lol.. except ive never waxed legs/vag/underarms before.. when i try it ill let you know!

    Thanks ladies! I spoilt myself yesterday with a waxing kit. Just a small heat pot and hard wax to try my eyebrows first. I am dreading my bikini and underarms but am determined to give them a go! I will need to buy the strip wax for my legs but baby steps first!
