What’s it like getting your legs waxed?

1. Are we talking full leg, half leg, bikini too?

   Half leg is over and done with in about 10 minutes per leg. For a full leg, it’s more like 15. It’s like ripping off a bandaid from your leg repeatedly during that time. The results are great and last for so much longer than shaving or depilatory creams. Watch out for ingrowns as it comes back through, though. Exfoliate and moisturise regularly in between.

   The first time for me was sore, but it’s not a long-lasting pain. As soon as you’ve felt it, then it’s done. Exfoliate and moisturise the night before as dry, rough skin exacerbates it.

   The bikini line is much more sensitive. Stick with creams, or even laser hair removal for that.

2. It is truly not as bad as you’d expect!! The part near your ankles is the worst part but completely bearable. The issue is driving home while still being a little sticky. I hope that you love it!! But also don’t feel pressured to do it

3. Have you gotten your eye brows or lip waxed? With those it’s one stinging feeling- the lip has much more of a sting to it.

   For the legs, you feel every hair coming out. It’s not comfortable. Anyways, everyone is different due to hair texture and length so give it a try. It might be ideal for you.

5. Stings a bit. The wax is warm. Overall, it’s fine.

6. I really like the feeling of the hot wax going on, and the quick sting doesn’t last.

7. Legs hurt while pulling wax off but not long after. I do it myself because I can cut the strips as small as I want if I’m not feeling very brave.

8. For me it was super painful! Never again. I get a Brazilian every 5 weeks but I found the legs were super painful I didn’t even want my waxer to do the other leg! Maybe because the area of the leg is larger? So it takes longer? Or my legs are super sensitive.
