in Trying to Get Pregnant
Yesterdays 2ww GTKY reminded me, has anyone used an at home wax kit/strips?  I leave for a beach vacation on Saturday and wanted to clean up before I go, but don't have time to get to a waxer, and I'd rather not be shaving all week.  Thoughts?

    No, sorry, but to be honest, I haven't heard anything positive about them.

    I've used pre-made strips--you warm them between your hands and peel them apart to reveal two sticky pieces of hell. I could never really "shape" anything, but it'll do the trick for the bikini line. Use your opposite hand to keep the skin taut, don't think about it, and rip quickly.

    I only allow professionals to wax my lady bits.  Some things are worth the money ;)

    I tried a kit a few years ago and it didn't work at all.  I found that the wax just matted the hair down but didn't remove it (both the premade strips and the hot wax kits).

    I usually use Nair for my bikini line and it is much less painful for me!

    I used this same kind once also. They didn't work very well for me, so I just went back to my normal shave routine.

    I've used an at home waxing kit for my underarms, and had DH apply the wax and strips.  But for the bikini area I'd much prefer a professional take care of it.

    Do not, I repeat do NOT try the home kits on your cooch.

    All you'll get is a yell, and wax left on your pristinely undisturbed pubes. Then you spend like 20 minutes muttering curses while you scrub said wax off.

     The only experience I have with them was at summer camp when I was abot 14. Two of my friends decided to give them a whirl. I'll never forget the overwhelming stench and the shrieks of pain.

     But who knows, they were probably using them incorrectly.

    The stench...? I'm afraid to ask.

    Ugh I tried the at-home wax and it was a major catastrophe. Now I know why they charge the big bucks to get it professionally done. Totally worth it IMO.

    I read "gardens" as "gardeners" and came here all excited to talk about my monster zucchini plants.  (Seriously, they're huge!)  Anyways...


    I absolutely refuse to wax. That shit hurts.  I do use the bikini line Nair, which is alright even though it smells like burning.  As a woman, I feel like I go through enough pain and hassle during my daily beauty routine... I refuse to subject my crotch to such cruelty.
