Answer 1

Don't worry about the pain. You're a girl and can handle it just fine. The benefit of waxing is that the hair grows back finer and thinner. The first wax is a bitchh but after that it gets easier. Once you have been through it a few times, you won't even notice the pain.

Answer 2

exfoliate your legs prior to doing either.... buy those little gloves for about a dollar anywhere and scrub your legs and thighs.. never do this to your face... WAXING is 100x's better... leaves your skin smoother.. the hair will grow in finer and thinner ... Waxing is esp. true for women with coarse hair... these types of hairs tend to become ingrown alot and leave little bumps when shaving.. there sometimes is more than 1 hair growing out of an individual follicle.. anyways.. Waxing is better it does hurt and the 1st couple of times you will find.. that after a few days.. you still have little hairs.. this is because they were not superifical or able to be pulled out or shaved off at the time you did it.. if you keep waxing over time..you will be as smooth as ever .. ALWAYS... i personally should wax all the time.. but tend to start in late winter or early spring.. wax all summer . and then shave over the winter but recommend waxing all the time...Waxing does hurt ... I cant say it doesnt.. but gets more managable after time... i rec a good place that uses good wax.. and is a calming type enviroment such as a spa.. then having a massage or facial afterwards... and a great lunch... makes you get rewarded after your punishment.. but... can be expensive...

hm i use to wax my legs..
didn't like it much, it was to much of a hassle.
But there was no pain, unless you did it wrong.
If you decide to go to a profession, than you should be fine.
After a bit i used nair, which was a bit of a hassle also.
It takes up sum time if you`re in a hurry!
It also made my legs pretty itchy.

Finally, i just started shaving and that's what i've been doing ever since.

it's convenient, b/c you`re in the showers anyways :]
maybe you don't get that smooothes because your razor and worned out? I shave with body soap [b/c i dnt find a point in buying shaving cream if soap works the same]
and after i just apply lotion :]

smooth as a baby's bottom!

hope this kinda helped.

Answer 4

Waxing is so painful esply in legs. So if u can handle it, do it once & then can continue with shaving. But shaving needs more care. Apply lather & then shave.

Answer 5

maybe you need a better raser for shaving, waxing hurts a little it can be expensive if you are getting all of both of your legs done. i personally think you are better off shaving, or use hair removal product you put it on and wipe it off, it works pretty good hope this helped

Answer 6

Half an hour before taking your daily bath, apply a paste of turmeric and rose water on all your body parts where you don't want hair to grow. In a month you will see reduction in hair growth. over a period of time, hairy parts will have very little hair on them giving the skin a smooth look and touch.

Answer 7

it doesn't hurt that much... it's like a mild scrape, but it hurts only for a minute or two, it'll go away soon and your legs will look and feel great! if u get a stingy sensation after waxing use a non alcohol based ultra moisturizing cream, it will help

Answer 8

waxing w/o doubt
shaving makes hair stiffer
if u wax it's smoother and d hair don't grow back stiffer
it does hurt but if u get it dun 4rm some place where dey know dere job it hurts as much as pinching

Answer 9

i use something called the silk epil
i'd say that waxing though
the silk epil is like waxing but better
shaving makes the hair grow back but THICKER!!!
the silk epil helps by pulling out the hairs right from the root
i know it sounds painful... but you get used 2 it
you can prob get the silk epil @ your local CVS or other pharmacy

Answer 10

waxing is not as bad as people make it out to be try it once you have done it once your legs will get used to it,the only problem is you will have to grow your leg hair a bit b4 you go. good luck
