I've gotten them at drug stores or WalMart, in the same section as Neet and all that good stuff. Nad's is another similar type of product. I find it's fairly easy to clean up (the sugaring stuff is water soluble), and you don't have to heat it up too much, so no burning. I personally don't find it that painful, but then again, I have a high pain tolerance level! :P

that's my issue. I'm afraid I won't be able to "pull the trigger" so to speak. I might break down and go to the freaking spa place :(

I'm such a chicken.

Finally finished with immigration in 2012!

I have tried everything sugar, cold wax and hot wax... the hot wax was the only thing that worked but I only managed to do one patch on my leg.... yeouch... :o:blink: but hair didn't grow in that area for weeks :thumbs:

I have tried Nair too... It is funny because on the box it says to wipe off as soon as you feel it tingling... well for me it tingles as soon as I put it on and I end up with this ugly rash all over :P

Lemme tell u..If you're going to do it yourself, try NAIR HAIR REMOVER KIT..MICROWAVE WAX FOR LEGS, BODY AND BIKINI AREA..FRESH PEACH MELON..

This is better than the more expensive Sally Hansen i bought long time ago. It's very easy to clean up too and it's got an applicator and 30 cloth stripS.. When i buy it, i even get a coupon for a dollar off the next time i buy one...This cost me $7 with the coupon..

I'm a real chicken when it comes to waxing. I used to always go to the spa to get it done, bcz i can't stand inflicting pain on myself.. But the money i paid in Canada was too much...

Brazilian bikini wax: $40

Full legs: $50

Arms: $30

Underarms: $20

Now i do all these myself.. Except for the bikini wax, of course...OUCHHH!
