Epilating: painful!
Hair removing creams: Veet doesn't smell so bad anymore, hair is less stubbly but results don't last
Electrolysis: I have a hair free patch on my left leg. I bought an electrolysis machine last year, which consists of a huge pair of tweezers. Idea is to grip the hair, hold for around three seconds whilst the electro-impulse goes down through the hair, and then 'effortlessly' pull the hair out. Takes bloody ages and is still painful, and was expensive too. I gave up with it and shave around my patch now.

I epilate my legs (what can I say, brunette - dark hair!) and I find it hurts if I stop doing it (& shave for a while instead). I also try to do under my arms & my bikini line.
Basically it hurts like a complete pig to start with but less after a while.
I do it because the results last longer.
I can't wax my legs (because I take skin off even more painful!!!!), I don't see the point of hair removal creams because they don't...

Bella - the electroiysis machine? Was it expensive? Surely a bit at a time for the results?
