Had mine done yesterday - full leg, bikini and underarms. - Didn't find it painful at all - although the girl doing it, did say I had a high pain threshold!!!

Wouldn't you think they could use some of that *magic cream* stuff they use in
hospitals for children? ;)

Either than or an anaesthetic would work for me! :rofl

well i decided to try my epilator :yikes

i put ice cubes in a freezer bag to use to numb my skin first and it bloody hurt :cry and i bled.. so had a bath and tried it again and it didn`t hurt as much as it did when i was frozen :really so maybe the hot water has opened the pores and softened the hair so i think i`ll try it again.. :D

I use an epilator sometimes but my advice would be to make sure the hair not to long or it will hurt like hell!

I got a liquid called no bumps from my beauty salon and its fantastic. You use it a few days before shaving or waxing and then daily. It helps prevent ingrowing hairs and it also stops bumps and rashes.

Ouch! You poor thing! (Got me toes curled up here.)
And you tried it again!

*THUD*

Ndshelton, another brave lady - I take my hat off to you all, seriously.

It might be worth investing in some of that No Bumps, mightn't it?

Yeh thats the one. Its in green bottle. I paid £10 for mine from beauty salon. It lasts ages. Got mine in May and still got half a bottle left. One tip when applying, pour abit of liquid on to finger tips and then apply to skin as if you use cotton wool, the cottonwool soaks up most of the liquid so you'll use alot more :)
