Hmmm, I've done waxing in that area too - actually done it myself. There are these strips they sell, prewaxed, which you just peel off and apply. It isn't a large area we are talking about so I can manage.
I've also had it done at a salon which was easier and better, but I do it myself now. I still do my legs at a salon - I hate having to shave!
I've tried and tried creams but I always, no matter the brand, get rashes, redness, and burning.

Last couple of times I've gone swimming I just wore some comfy spandex black shorts and a black tank top. I think it looked great, and I didn't have to worry about any "bikini lines"...human fur and fuzz is normal. My wonderful DH likes to say I have a degree from Tufts University, and we just laugh!....life is good, biking is good....

I tried Nair Bikini Line in the pink bottle. I got it too close and it felt like I'd sat in a pile of hot coals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So be careful if you go that route...

Indeed this is one of those wince/laugh kind of stories that you hope never really happened to someone. The person who wrote it is a very good comedic story teller. Originally Posted by chickwhorips
