Waxing!

So I'm sure most of y'all have tried waxing but to what degree? I use to go to this lady, who was very sweet...I would go about once a month, and she would wax my ENTIRE torso...no joke, from ALL of my back, to my tummy, and my chest...I do my breast on my own. I stopped going about a year ago because I just got tired of it. So now if I want to wear something revealing, I just nair, because it is quick, and then when the hairs grow back, I bleach them so I can show my skin for just a lil while more. I currently wax my face...cheeks, under neck, moustache about once a week on my own, use to the "pain." ...What do you do, what's it like for you???

I am also just waxing my moustache and chin and it looks like the hair is growing thin as well, i now only wax my moustache once a week and chin twice a week. But i really hate doing it even thouh by now i am also used to the pain. The facial hair is like a daily reminder of the PCOS, i cannot ignore it no matter how much i try.

I tried waxing my tummy by myself but I don't know if I was doing it wrong because I didn't know what I was doing or because I was too nervous about the pain but either way it didn't work. So, it's not too bad to begin with so I just shave it. I'm sure it would last longer if I waxed but since it's winter I'm not too worried about it. Maybe I'll try again in the summer but probably not. What kind of wax do you use? Maybe I should try a new kind.

I use veet wax strips. They work well and also have perfect finish wipes that i find to be really handy.

I use Zip wax. I just buy it from wal mart...and its this block and you have to heat it so its hot wax. I use that for my face. When I do my body....sometimes I do it on my own,....I use one of those roll on kind from sallys beauty supply, the brand is invernes or soemthing like that

I also tried the one that you have to heat up first and the roll on on but they did not give me satisfactory results as the Veet strips that i am using now. The one that needs to heated up was also too much work for me and i found it to be a bit embarassing when visiting to carry it around.
