Waxing or shaving?

[Mamfy]

ive just started to get my legs waxed and i went for the second time today. does anyone else get it done or do they just shave?(or do they do nothing?!) if anyone gets it done, did you find it was really painful the first time, and then it didnt hurt as much the second time?

[MathewS]

i leave mine the way they are, and i suspect that most of the guys on here do the same.

[Jessicar]

i shave mine, waxing is really painful!

[xXxI.Got.Them.Emo.EyesxXx]

It depends on the day..haha. If I have something big coming up, like Prom or a wedding or something I'll get um waxed, but if it's just an ordinary day I'll shave.

[hevence]

i shave waxing:eek: hurts!

[*fender.chiq*]

Shave, Shave all the hairy bits away.. hah.

[timswfc]

all girls shud wax honestly

[*fender.chiq*]

Waxing is just too painful. I can't go through with it. Like labour. I'll have test-tube babies one day :D

[timswfc]

yeh but wen u shave the hair gets harder like stubble dunt it

[*fender.chiq*]

Yeah.. but when it grows back you just kinda shave it all off again. Like beards.

[timswfc]

yeh but i got stuble n its more visable than a bum fluff moustace

[IceBurn3000]

i leave mine the way they are, and i suspect that most of the guys on here do the same.Not necessarily. A lot of my friends are very athletic (swimmers, cyclists, runners) and they all shave/wax their legs. As I am too lazy to get serious in any of that, I also leave mine the way they are - although, when I went through a swimming phase, I did shave them once.

Peaceout,

[Mamfy]

yeh but wen u shave the hair gets harder like stubble dunt it

yeah lol, you know too much;) i get my waxing done at a salon and it hurt SO much the first time but it doesnt hurt as much as the hairs come back finer and less so its all good:D

[Entice]

I use cream stuff, i once left it on my finger for too long, and it burnt me.
Like acid, ouch!

[lil_sawa]

i dont really like the idea of waxing, i stick to shavin :)

[Bob!]

I dont bother of course, and at least the hairs coveres up me paleness lol.

Craig waxes tho, as u can see lol :D

LMFAO bob!!! Hah.

I once knew this guy who was a police officer, and he's like the hairiest guy .. EVER, lol. He closely resembles an ape. Honestly. He was drunk with his police friends at a Christmas party, and someone bought him a waxing kit, lol, and he waxed a patch on his arm. One of the other guys pulled it off and he didn't feel a thing because he was so bladdered. He had a big rectangle bald patch for like, 2 months +.

[DJDanny2020]

My old technology teacher was very hairy, mr fawcett - remember him matthew? lol.

N yeah i tend to leave mine the way they are, they're very hairy!

[xXxI.Got.Them.Emo.EyesxXx]

Oh man. That reminds me of my friend Steve.

We were at a friends pool party and sitting on the table was that chemical cream stuff that takes the hair off....Steve decided he'd put it on his nipple. It lasted like...45 seconds on. He started yelling and whining to get it off.

[MathewS]

Yeah, i remember him, didnt they wax him one time or was that mr leiry (pe teacher)?

Can you not just see the resemblance?

[Bob!]

No.... lol

Ma m8 jon who i knew at school, seriously, i named him chewbacca.

Remember how I said I look like a golf club with shorts on, (cause of the "slim" legs) :o
Well wi him, it still looks like hes got trousers on lmao. haiy b***** :D

[Jessicar]

How can you not see the resemblance?!?!
*tuts* unobservant if you ask me.

[*fender.chiq*]

Men.. *rolls eyes*

[BleedBlack]

i shave my legs cos i hate having to let them grow so i can wax them. and shaving is just so much move convenient.

[Mamfy]

not when you have to do it every other day!

[Jessicar]

I have a fear of waxing, something would probably go wrong knowing me and id take all the skin off my legs.

[xXxI.Got.Them.Emo.EyesxXx]

I started using Veet.


It works really good, dosen't hurt, and only takes about 4 or 5 minutes.

It smells bad, but it's worth it.

[Jessicar]

Is veet wax? or something else...

[xXxI.Got.Them.Emo.EyesxXx]

It looks like shaving cream...You spread it on your legs and let it sit for 4 or 5 minutes...Then you have this little razor thingie, but with rubber blades on it. You kinda act like you're shaving, but you scrape the cream off and the hair is gone.

[Mamfy]

ive heard of it but never bought it as i didnt know if it worked very well or not, its likea hair removal cream?

[Jessicar]

=O wow. That sounds magic.
Iv tried stuff like that before, but it wasnt as good, because it was just a tiny tube thing...and it didnt work...

[xXxI.Got.Them.Emo.EyesxXx]

I had my doubts when I got it, but it does work really well.

I used it last thursday, and just now I'm starting to get stubbly.

[*fender.chiq*]

I bought veet all excited about never having to shave again.

My dreams were quashed as soon as I used it :P

My hair must be really coarse/stubborn, because the hair removal creams just don't work for me :( I get odd hairs gone, but big patches left. Lmao..

And then she tried an epilator.. :O

[BleedBlack]

I love the hair removal creams cos u dont feel anything & dont have the chance of ripping ur leg open with a razor lol (which i have done way too much times)

[Mikhael]

niether for me but i am goin to get my leggs waxed wen im onlder 4 charity iit is goin to hurt so much lmfao

[Mamfy]

you betcha:P

[~*~ shefbabe ~*~]

i shave but id say waxing is better as the end results are better and much smoother if u wax, i sometimes use hair remover cream but it stinks horrible but works better than shaving

[Jessicar]

it reeks doesnt it? eugh. One i had had a lemon fragrance in it, but it smelt worse than the one without.

[*fender.chiq*]

Lemon? Lmao!

[~*~ shefbabe ~*~]

yeah i had the one thats meant to smell like alovera or something its awful my mum says it smells like perm stuff

[Oxide]

I would never, ever wax or shave my legs. Hair grows there for a reason. I don't know what that reason is but I see no point in removing it.

Remember, leg hair may one day save your life.

[HunnyBunches]

i shave mostly except for really special ocations which i get my nails done toes done and my legs waxed
oh that alovera smells horrible.my sis has a huge bottle of the stuff

[Bob!]

Well ur a dude aint ya :P

[HunnyBunches]

did you know that when you pull a guys leg hair expecially when they have a lot of it they jump.I think it's funny.

[Mamfy]

I like leg hair on a guy though, so they can keep it on :D

But i doubt very much that a guy would want to see a girl with full on hair growing there! *eugh*:P

[*fender.chiq*]

Same mamfy, lmao.

It makes em.. 'Manly'.. And I'm sure they like to feel 'manly' too.

However, I prefer to feel less 'manly'.. Lol.

[Bob!]

did you know that when you pull a guys leg hair expecially when they have a lot of it they jump.I think it's funny.

Thats fkin evil lol, im sure ud jump if we went near ur hair with evil intentions :mad:

And its not just about feelin manly nat, the hairs there, we dont want nice smooth legs, thats for the ladies. :rolleyes:

Plus its cool, it floats in the bath :D

[*fender.chiq*]

ROFLOL.

I don't want to know what else does :eek:

[Jessicar]

Plus its cool, it floats in the bath :D

OH MY GOD

That made me think bad thoughts >.<

[Bob!]

[Jessicar]

O_O
bob!!!

[Bob!]

What? sum girls do lol. :P

[*fender.chiq*]

*screams*

Vile thought.

I know a woman. She's a slapper. She's done that before so she doesn't have undie lines showing.

I say.. YUCKY.

[xXxI.Got.Them.Emo.EyesxXx]

If you don't want underwear lines, wear a thong. It works.


Commando is gross...and uncomfortable.

[*fender.chiq*]

Roflol!

Talking from experience there Bri? :P

[Mamfy]

i agree with bri(on the thong bit!) if you dont want anything to show then thats the best way, or a g-string, whichever is more comfy:D

[*fender.chiq*]

Niether are comfy..

A cheesewire up yer bum crack is the least comfy thing I can imagine..

[Mamfy]

Wow!! I think they are comfy:D I love wearing them:)

[*fender.chiq*]

Lmao, I only wear.. dinky.. undies if I am going out somewhere normally.

Occasionally I wear them when I just .. go out of the house.

But it depends on my mood that day :P

[xXxI.Got.Them.Emo.EyesxXx]

Thongs are more comfortable than regular undies, to me at least.

[Stephanie]

Waxing is the best! I've been going like every 8 weeks for 2 years now! The first time it hurt like a bitch but then after that, you barely feel a thing. And it makes your legs (or whatever body part you get waxed) look so sexy and smooth! And plus it makes the hair finer and not grow as often and doesn't grow back all prickly, like with shaving. So by the time I'm 30-40 I'll have no hair in unwanted places anymore and I won't have to wax anymore!!

I even got a brazilian once. That was an interesting expierence. It didn't hurt as much as I thought though...getting waxed, really toughens you up, ya know?

I also use an epilator..

...but I doubt anybody's reading this far into the thread so I should just shut up now.

[Mamfy]

I agree with you bri!

And stephanie, I wax too, but what is an epilator like? It pulls the hair out doesn't it? I have always wondered what it felt like!:D

[Stephanie]

I agree with you bri!

And stephanie, I wax too, but what is an epilator like? It pulls the hair out doesn't it? I have always wondered what it felt like!:D

Yeah it pulls your hair out at a really quick speed. It's like 20 people quickly plucking at your legs. It can be bad if you don't use it right though. It can be just like shaving and rip the hairs out instead of pull them out from the roots. And sometimes you end up with lots of ingrown hairs.

And it feels different when used on different body parts. It absolutely kills when you do it on your arms where as it doesn't hurt as much on your legs.

[Mamfy]

You shouldn't waxz your arms though!

[Stephanie]

You shouldn't waxz your arms though!

Why not??? I wax practically everything.

[Mamfy]

Hair is used as an insulator. It keeps you warm by trapping in air. Thats why when people get cancer and they have to have chemotherapy and they lose theor hair, they are really cold, because theu have no hair to trap in the warmth.

But why can you wax your legs but not your arms? Does it have the same affect when you wax both or is it worse to wax your arm hairs then it is to wax your legs?

[angelic-a]

so shudnt it b the same thing for waxing ure legs then?

i wax both my arms and legs, ive been waxing for about 3 years now.. and now i only have to really wax like 3 times a year, my hair is mostly gone:D

i really envy my mum, she has no hair on her arms and legs at all. cos, she went travelling for about 5/6 yrs, and whenever she used to eat, she used this pit like thing, like a bbq effect, and basically the heat has burnt all her hairs off. and now shes hair-free!!

lazering is really gud, i get lazer treatment done on my upper lip. it doesnt hurt at all, it feels like a warm tingling sensation, quite relaxing really.

3 times a year! God! I'm so jealous! I can't wait till I'm like that!!!

And I know what you mean...my mum has noooo hair on her arms and legs as well!! It's incredible! I must have taken after my dad...:(:(

And how long does the lazering thing last for? I've always wanted to get that done but for some reason mum won't let me. Is it expensive? And can you get it done on your legs and bikini line as well? And would it have the same affect as waxing...like become nice and soft and all that?

[Mamfy]

Sorry for what I said, I guess I might be wrong. It just seems as though women aren't meant to have hairy legs but arms are nearly the same for anyone.

SO apologies

[angelic-a]

well, it takes time, eventually after each session it will grow bak less, bcos basically the heat is weakening the hair roots. gradually the hairs shud become finer and a lot less of it, so it is a bit like waxing, but less painful. the price depends on how much hair u have, how strong the laser needs to b according to the thickness of ure hair, and the size of the area u want it done on. mine was &#163;10 pounds a session, but i hav it done once a month. now it costs about &#163;12-16, cos my hairs are thinner now. yh, u can get it done on ure legs, and i think (but im not sure) that u can get it done on ure bikini line.

Which is more affective and lasts longer though? Waxing or that laser thing?

[xXxI.Got.Them.Emo.EyesxXx]

Lazer treatment lasts alot longer. After a few treatments, the hair is just gone. Waxing is just temporary.

[BleedBlack]

Thongs are more comfortable than regular undies, to me at least.

ha, i use to wear them every single day, but now i jsut wear normal undies, i dunno why i stopped wearing them but eh, i didn't find them uncomfortable at all.


i just bleach my arm hair's instead of waxing/shaving them, cos then it just looks stupid when they start growing back.

[Kiss.Me.I'm.Contagious]

Waxing.

[Stephanie]

Sorry for what I said, I guess I might be wrong. It just seems as though women aren't meant to have hairy legs but arms are nearly the same for anyone.

SO apologies

But is there any other reason besides the insulator one because you aren't the only one who has told me that I shouldn't wax my arms and now I'm really curious! Around 5 girls all up have warmed me about it and I can't understand why!

[Mamfy]

I'm trying to think the other reason why but my mind is blank.....:(

[*fender.chiq*]

I shaved my arms when I was 10, my hair grew back slightly thicker and darker. It aint good, lol, but I won't do it again! And you're right mamfy, hair is an insulator.

Girls shave, wax, epilate and laser, but I ask you all one question - why?

It's so effeminative to have hair. Practically seen as manly. But it's natural. So why do women go to extremes - sometimes - to rid themselves of what they see as effeminine and/or unsightly hair?

[Stephanie]

Girls shave, wax, epilate and laser, but I ask you all one question - why?

It makes me feel more comfortable with myself when I'm hairless and it makes my legs so silky it's just so nice to touch! I could not live without my wax!!


Lazer treatment lasts alot longer. After a few treatments, the hair is just gone. Waxing is just temporary.

Does it make your legs look all silky and sexy like waxing does though?

[Stormydayz]

I really dont think waxing is worth all the pain, id rather shave every 3 days than go through getting the hair pulled out every 3months!

[SG's lil babe]

I shave. I thought about getting my legs waxed but thought it was too much effort.

[*Jess*]

Use depilatory creams (hair removal creams)
They last longer.

[Mamfy]

I really dont think waxing is worth all the pain, id rather shave every 3 days than go through getting the hair pulled out every 3months!


It's every month actually:P

[SG's lil babe]

Even more reason to shave! Lol

[manutd 4 ever]

errm...i shave...

[melty_malty]

shave daily
