i really don't know how ladies keep up waxing - i've only done it the once and it is horrendous! i mow my lawn into a tidy garden and remove bits with cream...much less painful. also, i think we actually do need a bit of insulation...we were born hairy after all! i was thinking of purchasing an epilator...what are they like and can you use them for bikini purposes? lastly...i do think men don't give a hoot as long as it is a tidy and clean affair! x
