As it starts to get warmer out, we may be showing a lot more skin. Showing this skin means making sure said flesh is smooth and silky. (What man wants to be caressing your thigh and hit stubble? Exactly.)
However, how you remove your hair is up to you! There’s many options. These include:
Shaving
It’s the old, affordable, standby. You can buy a disposable razor for under $10, and take care of business yourself in the shower. Then again, you may also get nicks and blood shed…way less attractive!

That is the best way, with a dedicated setup – it is easy and contains the mess in one area. That, to me, is the biggest drawback to home waxing – rarely do you have a good place to do …read more

I just learned this word, hirsute, about 6 months ago – my husband thought I was nuts. And I thought it was a little nuts too, being that I am a little bit on the hirsute side myself and have been dealing with removing all of that hair for a good chunk of my life now.
