ooh, I once tried waxing my own bikinin line, OH, MY GOD ! the pain !!! It was the night before going on hols and oh, yes, there was blood ! took the whole of my first layer of skin off, what a mess ! had to wear my shorts for the first few days, then the itching after that as it grew back with a vengeance ! never again, now, if I have time, get it done professionally ( always my first choice, lasts much longer ) or nair hair removal, but as milly says, the smell makes me gag ! blimey, who'd be a woman !!!
