    I absolutely abhor shaving, all the disposable products, but also cant stand having hairy legs. I tried waxing before, but couldnt get it to pull the hair out. So last week i plucked my legs. Has anyone else done this? I didnt do the thighs, just the knee and below. does anyone know if there is environmentally responsible wax available that works? I think it wouldnt be any more painful, and certainly alot faster. but back in the old days the women used to pluck if they wanted to be hairless, for instance the harem girls in arabia. Thats all.

    Have you considered using an epilator? It's basically the same technique as plucking your legs but is a lot quicker (and probably less painful)

    Why do you dislike having hairy legs? It's a lot less hassle, cheaper in time + money + once the're grown out they feel quite sexy!

    I sometimes like to singe the hairs off my legs with a cigarette lighter. Just a thought...it does tend to smell a bit.

    i was standing in the aisle the other day looking at various hair removel options. its aggravating and annoying. nothign is clear cut. and so far my experimentation isn't going so well. natural is great in theory, but i tend to not like much body hair....

    I dont mind hair anywhere else, and i absolutely agree with aesha and christine. Ive let my leg hair grow many times in the past couple years, for months at a time, but eventually i cant stand it. It makes me feel very commercial and mainstream, and i cant explain it. I dont mind underarm hair at all. Im hoping its something that will pass with time and that ill be able to accept myself as i naturally am. But until then ive decided to be happy with myself and my compulsion to have hairless legs.
    What is an epilator?
