Leg waxing

[wilson83]

I am going on holiday a week today. So, I was considering having my legs professionally waxed for the first time. I don't want to look stupid going into a salon, so can you help me? I have found two different treatments. A full leg wax, a half leg and a 3/4 wax. Does the half leg include the knees? whats a 3/4 wax? how long does the hair have to be? Thanks

Well lets just say a half leg wax is suitable for knee length skirts, 3/4 would be suitable for shorts, go for full leg and bikini wax if you intend wearing a bikini! Hair has to be a few mm long. Get it done soon if you are going to be in the sun as you need to avoid sun exposure for 48 hours.

Excellent. thanks. How much does a bikini wax hurt? And what do they do?

Like I said in the question below, every body has a different pain threshold, to give you an idea, they will put glue on your pubic hair and then rip them out, like a plaster when you where a child. Good luck.

Bikini wax is fine, its just around the bikini line and they will take off as much or as little as you want and they will ask you before they start. I actually find the lower leg around the ankle area to be a bit more painful. The waxer will go very quickly and it will be over before you know it. I wax myself, so it cant be that sore!! Make sure you exfoliate and moisturise to avoid ingrown hairs. I think grumpii is being a little dramatic lol, its no different from plucking your eyebrows just on a larger scale.

surely it cant hurt more on your ankle than on your intimate area!

i have my eye brows waxed that hurts enough for me

Definately!! Toes are even worse, and I unfortunately need to wax them from time to time. Guess everyone is sensitive in different areas? I have been waxing my fluff for longer than my legs so I am maybe just used to it now.

[grumpii]

I have never heard it called a fluff before, no wonder it doesnt hurt you, all the girls I know dont have a fluff, more like a brillo pad !

[sleepyj]

i cant sleep grumpy i might get the big pot of wax out . i fancy some pain tonight ,

[grumpii]

Eyebrows, or underarms,.......... why dont girls wax their armpits?

[sleepyj]

some do wax arm pits grumpy

[grumpii]

Ouch, what about anuses, (bum holes, not sure about spelling)

[sleepyj]

think that might bring tears to the eyes you try it grumpy > back sack crack .

[grumpii]

I would need a voulenteer to apply the wax, what you doing later?

[sleepyj]

im sure red could apply it , i will rip it off with pleasure . bring tears to your eyes .

[grumpii]

I am going to my corner for a bit.

I too find the ankle the worst bits, it makes me twitch especially round the back of the ankle!
