If you are going to wax, skip the hot part, get Nads. They sell it at Walmart and Walgreens. I have used this several times, and it works on all body hair, plus if you mess up and get it somewhere you don't want, it will just rinse off with water! Not to mention it has no harmful chemicals and doesn't smell bad (you can actually eat this stuff if you needed to, it is all natural!) Plus the more you use it, the less you need to because eventually your hair will stop growing. It is definitely cheaper than electralosis (not to mention you don't need 6 visits to a specialist for it). Otherwise your fastest option is shaving, to avoid all the bumps I would buy a bikini shaving gel, and shave in the direction of the hair growth to avoid getting terribly irritated or ingrowns. Also by the after shave bikini gel.

Wax - definitely. But do it at a salon or spa where they know what their doing. You don't shave or trim for about 3 weeks before you go. They need hair to be 1/4 - 1/2" long for it is come out cleanly. Go for a bikini wax first and work your way up if you choose. It hurts the first time but only for a second. It gets much easier each time you do it, about once a month. Take 2 advil 1/2 hour before you go, it'll dull the pain.
Don't wax yourself at home the first time you'll bruise or hurt yourself.

First trim it with a bikini trimmer, then shave it and put lotion on right after so you don't get the disgusting bumps! Shave with the hair line - don't go against it - ouch. So upwards I guess. But remember to shave with the grain and make sure to use some nice lotion after to avoid those annoying bumps and rash. Also use a nice shaving lotion first. Don't shave dry or with just soap, get a shaving gel with Vitamin E and Aloe.

Be prepared for it to get extremely itchy when it starts growing back. Also some guys don't like the pricklies they feel so you will have to shave religiously to avoid those! Hope this helps you!

I shave using an electric razor and baby powder first. Then I touch up any rough spots in the shower with a regular razor (against, then with) and some shaving foam (not gel) with aloe vera. Afterward, I use Aveeno's smoothing moisturizer. I get a good shave, but it doesn't last very long. Like maybe twelve hours, then I get a five o'clock shadow.

Sally Hansen Cold Wax Kits are good. Yes trim first. Never, never do the same spot twice in a row, you will bruise. Maybe the first time you should go to a salon.

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.

Shave upwards.

Beats me. Shave, but have to do it every day. Already tried waxing, but its very uncomfortable and sometimes you get ingrown hairs... OUCH. Tried the braun epilatory whatever, it hurts like ***ll and takes forever. I still don't know if laser removal is possible in that area?? Hope somebody answers that one!

Shave it...use a fresh blade every time...shave upwards, or against the growth of the hair...use a gel type "cream", such as Kings Shave ( in the men's section of shaving creams).......

Shaving is temporary, electrolysis is the best, painful and expensive. Good Luck, Oh by the way, why get rid of it. Personally I think it's kinds neat and it retains your musky scent. Ummmm.
