Epilation & bikini waxing

[vtempo]

I am looking for an alternative to waxing or shaving to achieve a hollywood bikini wax....does anyone know if epilation is a possibility or would that be completely mad?!!! Thanks.....

It would be too sore! It plucks the hairs out one by one, better getting it done all in one go via waxing!

is a hollywood all off ? sorry im thick :(

Hurts like hell!! stick to waxing or shaving!!

[vtempo]

Yes, Hollywood is all off!

Thanks for the replies - doesn't sound like epilation would be a very wise approach!

laser would be a better option.

its quicker but costly but the results are permenant. you would see results straight away and depending on the amount of hair growth you about 5-10 treatments may do it.

its well worth it in the long run. after the first treatment you will see the hairs fall out and that will be you till your next appointment- approx every 3 or so months

i beg you, please do not epilate your special place. it would be incredibly cruel to yourself.

i use epilation. there is a brand (cant remember name right now but will get bk 2u on that.) n it has an ice pack attached to it n it cools, plucks then cools again n its great. hardly ne pain at all. i gets less painful the more you use it n u dont get that horrible itchy feelin wen it grows bk (all girls no about that feelin) n eventually the hairs give up growing n u get less and less to remove each time. its takes a couple of years to completely go but its defo worth it. they have em in boots and argos

Thanks everyone - very helpful.....

fluff-mcguff.... I actually bought an epilator but haven't used it yet - it would be great to know which one you use - there are so many brands and models..... Do you use it to achieve a Hollywood though - ie) get rid of all the hair from your special place?!

Hi again vtempo. yes a hollywood is for me. i use a babyliss one and it has the ice pack attachment. its available at places like argos n boots etc. i mean im not saying it won't hurt at all cos there may b a stinging sensation the first time (on slight tingling after) but i definately reconmend. i used to use wax n go to a technician but this hurts much less, there not really that expensive n u dont get that itchy stubble (ew)
