Waxing offers a longer term solution, or if you ultimately want to get rid of the fuzz for good and you aren't short of a buck or two, contact your local beautician for electrolysis sessions.

I know....it is such a pain. Sending sympathy.
Western culture is OBSESSED with hair removal. Why do our legs have to be bald anyway? I think we have been socially conditioned to detest body hair. It is a strange pre-occupation. Why not be socially conditioned to get rid of world poverty instead?
There ARE other options. I once heard of a man who LIKED body hair. One of my women friends was going out with him, and she didn't shave anything for years.
But most men seem to prefer hairless legs, even my boyfriend, who is a laid back hippy in all other respects...
Waxing is supposed to last for longer. Electrolysis/laser treatments are supposed to be permanent. Both make some difference but there are a lot of myths around....
Depilitory creams smell obnoxious. You get smooth legs but no-one wants to be within ten feet of you...
But seriously....you could try those new creams on the market that claim to mean that you don't need to shave as often - i think they sell them in Boots.
Or....you could strike a blow for the freedom of women everywhere and refuse to shave.
Who knows? It might catch on. It's time there was a change !

I have quit shaving my legs. I had them waxed once or twice a year for a few years and that thinned the hair so now it is very fine like it was before I shaved the first time. My bf loves the soft hair.

You could try waxing them instead although that would probably hurt more, if you had the money you could get laser hair removal on your legs and that takes it away permanently. Of course, you could just stop shaving altogether and go natural...lol

There's laser teatments to stop the hair growing. For a much cheaper alternative try waxing. It lasts for a few weeks and it must better than shaving. You can get kits at the drugstore to do home waxing.

Plucking (tweezing), Shaving, Depilatory creams and Waxing are temporary hair removal methods.
Waxing usually lasts for 3 weeks, but it is painful.
Electrolysis and laser hair removal are "permanent" hair removal methods but are expensive and you have to find a trained professional, otherwise your skin could be damaged.

Laser hair removal is permanent. Waxing will last a while, but you will still have to do it. You can't stop hair growth.

Try sugaring, it's like wazing but less painful becuase the ointment bonds more to the hair rather than the skin (still hurts a little though) but the results last much longer!

Get a brand that you put on your legs and it takes the hair off of your legs. it lasts longer and your legs will be smoother.
