I miss waxing. It is too expensive right now and I cannot afford the luxury. I always leave most of the hair, just clearing my labia. I usrd to trim the rest short, but it is so sparse it looks bald, and I do not like that. I do, when I wax, remove hair from the crack. These days I shave the crack, epillate my labia and the perimeter of my bush, and shave whatever got missed. It is breathtakingly painful, but that little machine cost me as much as getting waxed twice, and I have been slowly using it on more and more of my body for maybe 3 years now. At first I could barely stand to do it on my face and armpits. Now, those areas are a cakewalk. It does not hurt any less, I'm just used to how excruciatingly painful it is. I do not like stubble, and the associated itching, so the torture device once every 6-8 weeks is king. But if money was no object? Right back to the aestherician. Immediately. I'm not addicted, I just like to be totally smooth where I want to be totally smooth, and to remain so for as long as possible.
