Re: Wax
I used to use Alexandria Body Sugaring. You have to heat it up in the microwave. It worked really good. Just hold skin taught when ripping the gauze off.
I've also tried cold wax called Nad's. Didn't really like it too much. It's supposed to spread with the heat of your body but somehow that didn't work too well for me. It was just sticky and messy and didn't pull as much out as sugaring.
To minimize pain hold skin taught , even slap your legs before you wax them to numb them. You'll get used to it as you do it more often. Quickly rip off the strip and it's just a quick pain. Apply a soothing lotion afterwards.
