This one's for the ladie's.
I have been shaving my legs all my life and recently started waxing my leg's and the hair seems to grow back softer
It takes longer but it lasts longer and it's not as painful as I thought.
So are you a shaver or a waxer?

I am a shaver. Bout three times a week. I wear long pants all the time so no one sees my legs, but my husband likes me to shave so I won't be spikey. So waxing doesn't hurt all that much? You do it yourself. What do you use?


myLot reputation of 98/100. chapcity (996)   ranked 73 out of 2,971 in wife  1 year ago

I use microwavable wax, its easy to use. Just pop it in for 30 second's and use with cotton strips.

I dislike shaving intensely. Waxes and sugars just didn't work well for me. Left way too much hair and my skin would get so red and sore because I'd have to go over the same spot over an over to get it all. My mother bought me a small epilator a few weeks ago and so far I love it. It takes a little more time but I do it while I'm watching TV so that doesn't matter. It's a little painful but I got used to it fast. I may get a large one for myself to make it go faster.


myLot reputation of 98/100. chapcity (996)   ranked 73 out of 2,971 in wife  1 year ago

Aargh the epilator!. I'm scared of those.
I suppose it's kind of like waxing though cause you are still pulling hair's out by the root's.
Thanks for the comment.

You sound sensitive.
Laser is pain free, you should try that.

I like to shave. I don't have a lot of time to spend in the shower so this is quicker for me. Waxing seems way too painful.


myLot reputation of 98/100. chapcity (996)   ranked 73 out of 2,971 in wife  1 year ago

Shaving is the more time effective I agree.
I heard at different times of the month a womans pain tolerance is higher than other times.
Hmmm interesting fact....

I shave. I have never tried waxing so not sure what it is like. If I am in a hurry and need to shave I get the hubbies electric razor and use it. Oh he hates it when I do that...lol It gets the job done!


myLot reputation of 98/100. chapcity (996)   ranked 73 out of 2,971 in wife  1 year ago

Ha, ha that's a good one.
Nothing like your hubby going to get his razor,
only to find stubbly little hairs stuck in there.

I am most definitely a shaver. I have considered waxing, but I really don't like pain of any kind. LOL. However, I have bit the bullet and gone in for a Brazilian Wax. It did hurt but not as bad as thought it would, so I have been thinking more and more lately about waxing my legs, too.


myLot reputation of 98/100. chapcity (996)   ranked 73 out of 2,971 in wife  1 year ago

I went in for Brazilian too once and I found that painful. The first time wasn't too bad, but the second time I had it done I went home bruised. I've been hesistant to do that area again... I'll stay a shaver there...

another shaver here...I have a pretty low pain tolerance, so waxing would definitely be out. My skin is also really sensitive so I doubt it would recover well from waxing. I despise shaving, but it's the quickest and most pain free option.

I am a shaver. But, glad to say that I have very fine hair and not a lot of it. So, I don't have to shave daily. Waxing is too expensive, and seems to be too painful to me. I will stick with the one two swipe of the razor.:)


myLot reputation of 98/100. chapcity (996)   ranked 73 out of 2,971 in wife  1 year ago

Hi Margieanneart,

You are lucky to have fine hair and not my horse hairs.LOL.
Waxing is expensive and time consuming!
Can you imagine what we'd all look like without shaver's and wax? Scary...
