A few weeks ago I waxed my legs at home. I used Sally Hansen Brazilian Wax and it worked great! It was a little messy, but nothing major and it worked so well that I still don't need to shave my legs, two weeks later.
Last week my friend Linda and I went shopping and I picked up some Surgi Wax (I won't even link you, read on). This stuff is supposed to be great because it requires no muslin strips. You just put the wax on, wait for it to get pliable (15-30 seconds) and then pull it off. Great stuff! IN THEORY ONLY!
Never, ever, ever will I use this stuff again. Never. OMG! I decided I'd wax my underarms because waxing my legs went so well. OMG! OMG! OMG! It never got pliable. I couldn't pull it off except in teeny tiny little balls. And not only that, but it DIDN'T REMOVE ANY OF MY HAIR. Nope, just removed little tiny balls of MY SKIN!
And getting rid of that wax? Forget it. I used HOT, HOT water. I used Vaseline (which the box says will remove it). I used rubbing alcohol and I even used DAWN (yes, the dishsoap). My armpit is still sticking to itself. This was the most painful experience I've had aside from giving birth without drugs. And I've had a root canal with only Novacaine.
Don't ever buy this crap. Just DON'T. Take my word for it. DON'T. The only thing Surgi Wax is good for is torture. So if you know of someone who needs torturing, shell out $3.84 at Wal-Mart and have a blast. Otherwise stay far, far away from Surgi Wax.
And to think......I was planning to do my bikini line. =O

Thanks for the info. That was so amusing I fell off my chair. I waxed my legs for my wedding and thought i had died... I pd like 30 dollars at the salon and she wanted to do my bikini line and there was no way i was about to go through that kind of pain.
