I thought Veet was Imaac (maybe its not though lol!!!)

I have also heard bad stories about epilators - very very sore! I haven't used one myself tho!

I personally just do the shaving thing and the occassional wax

I use veet (formerly immac) occasionally but i also wax and i have found that waxing alone actually has stopped hair growing in certain areas on my legs which is fantastic coz it saves a job! My aunt waxes too and her legs never need hair removal now coz she only gets the odd hair growing! No pain no gain...but then i love having my legs waxed, not 4 everyone!

I use an epilator! And my feeling is that if you can give birth, you can use an epilator!

Yes it is uncomfortable, but the results are fantastic. I used mine on my legs and under my chin cos I am a bearded lady!! Well, I have some dark underchin hair.

If you can cope with having your legs waxed, then epilating is easy. I have the braun one and its fab!

I'VE TRIED IMMAC/VEET BUT IT DOSEN'T WORK. I CAN LEAVE IT ON FOR LONGER THAN THEY SAY BUT I'M ALWAYS LEFT WITH HAIR. SO I'VE ALWAYSED SHAVED TOOOOO SCARED TO WAX BUT I'VE DROPPED A FEW SUTTLE HINTS TO HUBBY ABOUT THE EPILATOR, SO HOPEFULLY I'LL GET ONE SOON. FINGERS CROSSED AS IT GETS SO ANNOYING TO HAVE TO SHAVE EVERY OTHER DAY JUST TO WEAR A SKIRT.
