Hi I have all mine waxed off - I do it myself because I am a beauty therapist so I do it for a living! The best way to go IMO is to give yourself a hair cut (about 3/4 of a cm to 1 cm is good) and have a g-string wax first so you can build up your confidence! There is nothing worse than being in pain and a bit embaressed as well!
Hot wax is less stingy than strip so I use this, its also a little bit nicer to your skin
Exfoliate in the morning before your wax as this helps too.

Good luck!
