Wedding Blog
The Tweezerman Contest is officially over. We used a random number generator to determine the following winners. Congrats to: bluang3lbby, g, and h!
Thanks to everyone who entered - we’ll be back with a new contest Monday! 
~~~
Mrs. Bee here.
I’ve owned the same pair of Tweezerman Slant Tweezers for many, many years. I use them to pluck my eyebrows, pluck my armpits 8O, apply false eyelashes - and they are hands down the best tweezers I’ve ever used.
So that’s why I’m very excited to announce that we have three Tweezerman Brow Grooming Solution Kits, valued at $50, to give away!
The Kit contains:
I’ve tried laser hair removal once during spa week (desperately want this for my underarms), threading (which I will definitely continue to do), and obviously plucking (check out Tweezerman’s tweezing tips here). I just may give waxing a whirl one day before we go on a vacation! 
So what does that have to do with the contest?
To enter the contest, simply leave a comment telling us how you deal with hair removal on your body - whether it’s plucking, waxing, sugaring, threading, bleaching, depilatories, electrolysis, laser hair removal - and where you use these methods. We’ll select 3 winners at random - you have until 11:59 pm this Friday to enter. All the weddingbees are eligible to enter as well.
Good luck everyone!

everything gets waxed for me 
I’m a waxer/plucker/threader. Really depends on the area for me, I guess.
I pluck and wax. A normal waxing just doesn’t get up everything it’s supposed to sometimes.
I am desperately in need of these. My tweezers are so dull that I hate plucking and am staring to look like a gorilla!
I like to get waxed and tweeze to keep up in between and also to get the tough buggers!
I’ve done the whole laser hair removal thing, but after 6 sessions, it’s still not permanent…. still, it’s not as thick and more sparse, but not permanent … I’ve now moved to threading! Loving it!
Shave and wax. (Only pluck to clean up between waxing appts.)
I’m a shaver for my legs and arms, plucker for random stray hairs, a waxer for my eyebrown. And soon I will have my bikini area will have a new ‘do’ thanks to laser hair removal!!! I’m so excited!
Pluck and thread, wherever applicable. Have not tried waxing yet and I think laser is a good idea for the UA
shaving, waxing, and plucking
Wax and plucking depending on the area - just got my first bikini wax ever and let me tell you child birth better not be as painful cuz if it is I’m not having kids!!!
I pluck and shave usually but I got my eyebrows threaded recently and love it!
i shave my legs every couple months… i have light & thin hair…
i get waxed for “special” occasions…
and i tweez my eyebrows & armpits regularly…
i love tweezer man i would LOVE to be randomly (kekeke) selected
I pluck my eybrows and wax my armpits and legs. I also like to pluck my armpit hairs - i find it so satisfying sometimes!
I’ve been addicted to getting my eyebrows waxed since I was 14. I get it done about once a month and pluck religiously in between.
You need to be sure you have someone good though - I’ve gone to the same person since I started and wouldn’t you know, she was on vacation when I needed them done for an event. I went somewhere else and left crying because they screwed them up so horribly I had to let them fully grow back to fix it. They forgot to mention that the girl hadn’t waxed an eyebrow in 7 YEARS when they assigned her to me.
Eyebrows: wax or pluck
Lip: wax
Underarms: shave or pluck
Brazillian (TMI?): wax/pluck (some salons do a combo of both)
Legs: shave
ohhh, i so need these! i currently pluck, wax and shave- depending on the area. mr. bop doesn’t know about the waxing- that’s my secret. once, i came *this* close to having laser hair removal but backed out when my friend broke out in adult acne where she had the laser done :0 i do wish i would have gone through with it, looking back. ah, to be armpit and bikini line hair free!
I’m a leg shaver, but a knee plucker for those lil baby hairs, mustache waxer, eyebrow pluck/waxer, armpit shaver and love tunnel waxer. hahaha that last one gets credit from my Dad. His sex talk was, “stay away from the love tunnel.” hahaha
anyways, it’s not just me, but my husband too. He gets Avon hair removered(back) and I pluck his unibrow! If he only knew about this post! I could sure use a new pair of tweezers! Especially since his unibrow gives em a good workout!
p.s. what a great post! hahahahahaha
oh where do i begin…
i dont have hair on my legs, barely any at all actually -
but for the rest of the areas…
ive done electrolysis on my upper lip and armpit areas. it was working too until i left for the summer and stopped the treatment.
ive done cream hair removal, sally hansen and nair.
ive tweezed and plucked.
ive waxed and done nads - the “natural” wax.
shaving is a last resort for emergency maintenance purposes only! =)

shaving for legs/underarms, waxing for bikini area, tweezing for eyebrows and wherever else i find stray hairs.
i dont know if it’s just me but i used to have a huge obsessive thing with tweezing eyebrows whenever i got the chance and if i couldnt get that ONE stray hair i would try and try and try to the point where sometimes i’d break skin…THANK GOODNESS i broke that habit! 
ok, i’d like to add that i had no idea so many people plucked their armpit hair!
Shave, Pluck, Epilate, & Nair when I have the time.
I’m all about plucking!! I am fairly UNhairy so only my eyebrows need it. There is something very therapuetic about it, I think it feels good. I try to sit the fiancee down once every 2 weeks or so to neaten his eyebrows up, but he still complains that it pinches. Whatta Baby!
I’m an obsessive plucker… I have to pluck my stray eyebrows…everyday. I find it quite soothing. I epilade everything else… it kinda stings at first…but you don’t have to do it as often.
i like threading, but don’t have access to any of that where i live now. so, it’s all about plucking.
I tweeze (?) my eyebrows and underarms, and use Nair for my legs
Shave underarm and legs almost everyday, thread eyebrows (maintain with tweezing), thread upper lip, and wax the rest.
All this money spent on getting rid of hair our body thinks we need!
all of the above work for me! thread, pluck and wax!
oh, i forgot, i do nair every once in a while. i tried nads too- and hated it! yeck.
wax and pluck.
Hmmm….I shave, wax, and tweeze. I’ve had my brows threaded before but it wasn’t a pleasant experience. =).
back in middle school i used nair for my legs, and razor for my armpits.
in college i plucked it all w/ my trusted 98 cents slanted tweezer from kmart.
now i have limited times in the morning so i shave my legs & arms w/ razor.
w/ my brows, i always used tweezer most of the time, got them waxed ONCE, and once in a blue moon, i’ve tried to shave it. lol
Shave, pluck, and wax!
I pluck my upper body, shave my lower body!
I love my tweezerman tweezers! I don’t have a lot of hair so I tweeze my eyebrows.
shave, epilate, pluck, and get waxed
done basically all of the above… but I mainly wax legs & underarms. I also have been going to a salon soley devoted to eyebrows called “The B Spot” in Chicago. Her philosophy is that tweezing is the only way to go. A little on the pricey side but Rashida B totally takes care of my bushy, bushy eyebrows.
I pluck my arm pit hair when bored. It’s painful but also very satisfying.
I pluck my eyebrows and shave everything else. Waxing….. ouch!
Brows: thread or tweeze
Upper lip: sally hansen pre-waxed strips
pits: tweeze
legs: shave (tho planning on buying an epilator)
I shave my legs and underarms. I get my eyebrows threaded. I love the way they do it for me. I’ve yet to try out any other body parts! Maybe for the honeymoon?!!
i tried waxing once but i wasn’t impressed & i’m too cheap to do it regularly. i pluck my eyebrows (i’m also a fan of tweezerman) & shave my legs and arms. i HATE shaving tho. it’s such a pain in the ass
I’m a plucker….I’ve gotten threaded and I’ve been waxed…..it hurt. haha
tweezing and waxing.
LOVE TWEEZERMAN…My first pair were from my mom and now I even have my fiance using them…the same pair has lasted me through many embarassing memories and great looks in bathing suits!
I wax and tweeze my brows, which are famous for the fact that they are the PERFECT shape! I only trust tweezerman to keep them that way!
I’m a tweezer and a shaver… but when it comes to my eyebrows- I have to get those waxed. My waxer is the best!
I tweeze my eyebrows everyday with the same tweezers I’ve been using since high school so brand spankin new ones would be awesome! I shave my legs, and I Emjoi (an epilator) everything else in between. Love it!
I’m a shaver of the pits, epilady for the legs, plucker for the brows…..
shaving, plucking, and threading
So funny that you started this contest because I have just been inspired by your recent posts to get my eyebrows under control. I have been plucking them for years and I always think they look symmetrical and even when I look in the mirror but then when I look at pictures of myself they look crooked and uneven…the shame! It is killing me to grow them out, but my plan is to get a clean slate to work with and then I’ll go and have them shaped and waxed. Hopefully then I can maintain the shape by plucking in between waxings. A Tweezerman set sure would help my cause!
Having a genetic predispostion for being hairy from a very early age, I’ve done it all. Wax, Nads, shave, pluck, depilitory, bleach, Epilady (does anyone else remember THAT tourture device?), threading, and finally laser hair removal. Laser hair removal is the best thing EVER. I’ve done my arm pits and bikini area. Though the hair isn’t completely gone, the difference from before and after makes it the best money I’ve ever spent (and it wasn’t cheap). The few hairs that are left grow back much slower and thinner. I plan on doing my legs some day. I don’t mind tweezing/shaping my eye brows because its sort of theraputic. For anyone who ever does laser hair removal, one word of advice - Emla cream. It is a topical numbing cream. Other wise getting your sensative areas zapped by laser is worst than all of the other hair removal methods combined.
i usually tweeze my brows, my husband’s brows, and my armpits too. occasionaly to get all the little hairs by old tweezer can’t get… i get my brows threaded. and finally i do wax “down there”. the first time i did it was right before the wedding… my husband was REALLY surprised the wedding nite!!! i totally recommend this before the big nite!
i like experimenting with products, so i’ve tried various creams and waxes, in addition to tweezing and shaving. the creams creeped me out because of the smell and the idea of applying chemicals to my skin to basically dissolve the hairs. tweezing is satisfying when i have the time, and shaving is a quick fix. i don’t like going to the salons so i try to be as self-sufficient as possible.
I desperately need these. I have VERY full eyebrows (Brooke Shields meets Andy Rooney) that require daily plucking (if I was so diligent).
I’m getting married on Friday (Nov 3) and had my brows waxed professionally yesterday. They look *fantastic* - the only thing is my skin reacted to the wax and now I have a bumpy red rash above my eyebrows. Yikes! I’m hoping it recedes significantly for my nuptials - in just 2 days.
But the moral of the story is - only plucking here on out for me!
Pick me please!! I am in desparate need for this super cute set.
I shave the legs & the pits… but occasionally I’ll start plucking away….although the position is rather quite cumbersome if plucking for a long time. I recently shared my secret of plucking the pit hairs to my new hubby after the honeymoon… & he was super grossed out! Nevertheless.. it is comforting to know that there are other girls out there doing the same thing.
I pluck pluck away at the brows… although I’m not super caterpillary or anything…I have the typical asian eyebrow. However, I do not want to overpluck & have to resort to penciling them in.. so I’ve been going to the threader… wonderful! She knows when I’ve been plucking at the wrong spots though. I love to pluck all the time…. there’s always hair growing everyday for me!
Thus please make my daily plucking more enjoyable by rewarding me with this new “plucking” Tweezerman set!!!
I just tweeze! It’s the cheapest way lol.
I’ve never shaved my legs before. My eyebrows are usually unruly and unkempt, except for the short period before and during my wedding, thanks to the famous Damone Roberts salon in Beverly Hills. And, finally, embarrassing but true — my hubby plucks my armpits for me! You are all sworn to secrecy. Now gimme my Tweezermans. Thanks.
bikini– lasered it a few years back. (for Brazilian i get waxed);
underarms– partially lasered (still need a few more treatments) and shave
legs–shave
brows– have tweezed by a pro…
I thread my eyebrows ($4.00!) I tweeze them myself for touch-ups. I wax my lip and shave everywhere else. I will never let anyone wax my eyebrows. They left me with half an eyebrow once!!
I wax my eyebrows because Im terrible at tweezing When I was around 13 I tried plucking my eyebrows and I ended up pulling an entire chunk out and it never grew back so I have a missing piece on my left eyebrow I also shave and wax when I can
It had never crossed my mind that people plucked their armpit hair.
I wax my brows and shave everything else.
I get it waxed or threaded (always trying new places) every couple months (cause I’m quite lazy) and inbetween I pluck and pluck and pluck!!
As for body hair removal, I am very traditional - I shave! I am too chicken to trying waxing for anything other than my eyebrows.
I shave my legs and underarms since it is an easy fix and my skin react terribly to the creams. I usually wax my eyebrows a couple times a year but the last time I had it done the waxer went way too thin. So I’ve resorted to light plucking there waiting patiently for them to come back in and some of those stray underarm hairs that don’t want to be shaved off. But my tweezers are so dull from constantly trying to fix my bfs unibrow. It’s like a full-time job.
WeezerMonkey
I’ve had electrolysis on my upper lip. I pluck my eyebrows. I used to get waxed a lot but don’t anymore, so I shave my legs and bikini. I also have a Braun epilady type device that I use on my underarms. It’s like waxing in that it pulls the hair from the root. I’ve seriously considered laser hair removal - but it’s expensive!
brows - thread
other facial hairs - shave
leg - shave
otherwise, contemplating brazilian (wax?) for wedding night (ouch!)
It cut off the last part of my comment… I put “cross my heart and hope to die” your comment was funny!
Are brides not in the NY area qualified for these tweezers? I read wedding bee every day to get ideas since I’m in MD. I wasn’t forturnate enough to inherit my Mom’s genes of light hair. But, thank goodness I’m not that bad. Well, I wax, tweeze and shave. I tweeze my eyebrows and above the lips. I tediously pluck my underarms b/c waxing doesn’t cover it. I wax bikini area. And, I wax and shave my legs. It’s a daunting task for me almost every week or few days. So, I’m always looking for good tools for such task.
I hope I get selected!!!
i’m not very good with upkeeping
so i’ll usually get my eyebrows waxed once in awhile..and attempt to tweeze in the meantime
As far as body hair goes, I wax if I have time and I’ve planned ahead, but I usually end up shaving. My brows are an obsession. I get them done by my facialist who does a combination of plucking, waxing and trimming– and only she is allowed to touch them. Those are her rules, but I don’t question them!
pluck, pluck, and pluck some more.
am i the only one who doesn’t know what threading is? but to answer your question i’m a tweezer girl! i’m finishing up my last year of college so waxing and laser removal is too damn $$$!!
wow look at all the responses!
my first waxing experience was the brazilian! eekk! the second time around I just did the bikini.. but since then i’ve bought my own home waxing kit.. i wax on occasion and pluck when needed. in fact mr. violet helps me with it!
i have extremely sensitive armpits, so i try not to shave them, and instead go for the plucking action. i enjoy plucking my (or anyone else’s) eyebrows as well, it’s relaxing! i’ve been recruited by several friends and family members to help maintain their brows as well
i like threading for my eyebrows and upper lip, but haven’t found a place here….
i usually shave my legs and sometimes pluck the strays… and nair has this really good vanilla-scented bikini stuff that i use in the summer…
well.. the only thing i really do is wax my eyebrows. from the age of well.. birth to about 22 i had these funny eyebrows that looked like they ended in the middle. the hair was there, but it was so sparse it really didn’t look like there was anything. and then one day, a coworker introduced me to waxing. i was skeptical… but now.. i have eybrows! although i do pluck between sessions when i’m busy and don’t have time.
I love tweezeman!
I’m jealous of light haired girls…
I usually tweeze hair on my face, unless I’ve let it go a long time and then I use home-waxing (microwavable wax).
Legs I will only shave, I’ve never had a desire to have them waxed after a friend was horribly burned on the side of her calf from too-hot wax. Plus I always thought it looked gross when my friends would grow their legs out to get waxed.
I laughed reading the comments from the girls who plucked their SO’s eyebrows. My fiance has some sort of “manly complex” about not letting me pluck his unibrow, but I finally got him to let me wax his eyebrows last weekend!! I think it looks so much better, but he was such a freakin’ baby about it. Guys just don’t know the pain we go through to look nice.
I pluck and shave, pluck and shave, pluck and shave. Gotta love Tweezerman!
Wow I didnt know peple actually plucked their armpits (OUCH!!!)
I tweeze my eyebrows and upper lip, shave my armpits and legs. I forget the name but sometimes I use the bladeless razor… it works better than nair.
I’ve never heard of this…what is threading?? and is it painful?
i shave and pluck. plucked armpits? YIKES!! the thought scares me.
I wax, pluck and shave. Maybe one day I will go for the laser removal. I have dark skin and dark hair, so I am not sure if it will work????
Unlike other fortunate women, my eyebrows had no shape. I seriously could not get myself to pluck them and make them look nice. I’d either remove too much or too little. So when I heard about threading, I went for it and loved the way my eyebrows came out. Unfortunately, I moved to Philadelphia where eyebrow threading is non-existent. So now I just get my eyebrows threaded when I go back to California and when I’m here, I just manage my eyebrows to keep them the way it looked when it was threaded. Everything else, I shave because I’m allergic to almost every hair removal product.
Starting from the face down.
I’ve plucked and thread eyebrows and upperlip.
I epilator my underarms and wax my forearms.
I shave my bikini line and have done only once a brazilian wax. Hurt like nothing I’ve experienced before.
Wax my legs and if I am lazy epliator it baby or let it grow out like a wooly mammoth for weeks!
i usually just pluck…but since my wedding is coming up i just had my first brazilian wax….not too bad. but what i really want to try is laser….when i have the mooolah!
Oh I am a lazy lazy girl. I pluck my eyebrows occassionally. Shave my armpits regularly. My legs, rarely. I tried laser hair removal for my bikini line. Sad to say that that was the worst $700 I ever spent!
i pluck my eyebrows once a week for about 30-40 min..even some stray lashes. shave my underarms and legs and use Sally Hansen depilatory cream for the fuzzy hair above my lip. i considered getting the hair above my lip lasered at a local plastic surgeon’s office but he quoted me $300-400 for just one session. *sigh* i used to get my upper lip hair waxed but sally hansen works just as well and it’s a lot cheaper too.
I shave my legs and wax my underarms….BUT the eyebrow specialist I go to was just featured in this month’s Lucky Magazine - now there is no telling when I will be able to get another appointment!!! I could sure use the Tweezerman kit for in between sessions.
Let me just say I’m hairy! Hairier than harier. It’s all my mommas fault. LOL I have to shave my legs everyday (OUCH!!!), and armpits, I have to shave my knuckles, wax my eyebrows, and bleach my WHOLE face. It’s not even funny. I would should you a picture of the side of my face right now I have a shadow and it’s not pretty.
For regular upkeep of my eyebrows, I pluck. But once a month, I get my eyebrows trimmed, plucked and shaped by this all-things-face-related lady at a Chinese salon. Waxing isn’t enough for my eyebrows b/c I’ve still got very long eyebrow hairs, and they still look dark and unruly. So she uses round nosehair scissors to give my eyebrows their very own haircut!
For the upper lip, I use Sally Hansen’s wax strips, the kind that you can warm between your hands - they’re quick and cheap.
For armpits and legs, it’s old-fashioned shaving.
For my wedding, I’m thinking of having my arms and back waxed. I’ve never had this done before - how far in advance can I get this done before the wedding, but not so far in advance that hair re-growth becomes visible?
I pluck… everything. I used to do home wax and hair removal creams but they were to messy. For a while I’ve used an epilator for my legs. I’ve never been very hairy though…
shave,wax, and pluck
Shave and pluck. Waxing irritates my skin.
i prefer waxing but i’m lazy so i usually pluck the eyebrows and shave everywhere else.
Armpits and Legs: Shave
Eyebrows: Pluck
I love Tweezerman!
Plucking… what a pita!
I’ve definitely tried just about everything to get rid of stubborn hair. I’m allergic to the bleachs, Nair, some waxes…I haven’t found a way that doesn’t hurt, but the most effective thing I’ve tried has been laser hair removal.
I’ve always plucked my eyebrows myself, but I do get them professionally shaped once in a while. Last year I began waxing my legs rather than shaving and it still hurts, but it seems to be less time-consuming than shaving every single day (it grows so fast!)
I did start lasering though about 2 years ago. I started with my upper lip, then moved to several other areas including bikini line. It hurt so much when I first started because they didn’t have a topical anesthetic! Now they do, and it so easy! It still hurts a bit, but it is the best thing I’ve ever done! The first areas I had done are completely bare now, and the ones I’m still working on only took about 6 treatments. I do want to get my legs done, but the laser directly on bone (ie: shin) is like torture even with the anesthetic!
I get my eyebrows waxed, but because of my schedule I can’t always make it in to get the brow area spruced up when it needs it…
So, I am sad to say I use my one/one and a half inch long tweezers I that are a part of a Clinique eyebrow compact. They are quite dull and I often end up pinching the skin to get to the root of the hairs. I know, classy.
I pluck my eyebrows almost every day — it’s so satisfying to get every little hair out. My armpits are either plucked (by my BF haha!!) or shaved (emergencies only). I shave my legs once a week or so but I get lazy about it during the winter.
Damn! This must be a posting record at 100+. Tells you something about woman and body/face hair.
Guys have it way easier. They just shave there face in the morning and can let everything else get as hairy as its supposed to. What’s up with that??
Maybe the next post topic should be about our dude’s grooming rituals. Does he keep his undercarraige shorn?
luckily I’m not very hairy so I shave my armpits bikini, and legs and have no need to pluck, wax, thread, or otherwise remove hair anywhere else!
i’ve NEVER shaved/plucked/waxed/threaded/depilatory-creamed/lasered my hairs off…except for my legs and underarms i haven’t ever tried to dye my hair either, not even the hair on my head! i bet that makes me ugly. oh well. it’s kind of a lot to have to deal with all the time. i inherited my father’s lovely hairy genes. if i win these tweezers, and if these tweezers are really as great as you say they are, i PROMISE i’ll start plucking my eyebrows! i’ll even send in before an after pictures. i wonder how i look like with nicely shaped brows? i’m freakin’ scared though. i hear it really hurts!! what method would ya’ll recommend for a first-timer?
I realized I should probably add in that Mr. k likes to shape his eyebrows and if I were chosen as one of the random three - he would greatly appreciate a good pair of tweezers!
underarm: laser hair removal (1 treatment so far and loving it!)
legs: shave
eyebrows: wax when I can get appointment and pluck with tweezerman the rest of the time!
brazilian wax - - no other way to do it, once you have tried it.
WOW 109 comments!
I pluck my eyebrows and shave everywhere else. Like many previous posters, I spend hours plucking my eyebrows each week. If I’m not the lucky winner, I appreciate the tip on the Tweezerman kit
I pluck my eyebrows and shave my legs. I always thought I was the only one who plucked my armpits but I guess I’m not as weird as I thought
I shave my legs but I hate doing it. It seems like such a chore! I pluck my eyebrows and my armpits (I too am glad that I’m not the only one that does this!)
I also pluck my boyfriend’s eyebrows! hehee.
I usually tweeze stray hairs near my eyebrows everyday, and shave everything else!
I am in love with Tweezer Man tweezers!!!! I can never go back to just the run of the mill tweezers.
Onto my hair removal methods …
I shave, wax and pluck.
waxing for eyebrows, plucking to maintain. since i don’t have a lot of underarm hair, i pluck that area. i use depillatory foam and/or shave my legs.
hm…i guess i do a bunch of things… for my eyebrows..occasionally, when i haven’t upkept my own eyebrows, i’ll go get them threaded. i try to clean them up regularly by plucking though..as for my underarms…i pluck away!
Wax eyebrows, upper lip, other facial areas…pluck for upkeep. Shave legs and underarms, wax bikini area.
wowzers!! would you look at all those comments. 
i wax and pluck my eyebrows. and shave my legs and underarms. i’m pretty low maitenece.
but i do love to go to the salon to get my brows done. something about that warm wax is just soothing when done right. those sally hansen wax strips work wonders when in a pinch, though.
tweeze, pluck, and sugar. i’m an addict when it comes to sugaring my bikini area! it hurts like hell but so worth the pain.
i pluck my eyebrows, but they never really look that different…i’m dying to try out eyebrow threading though! everything else gets shaved
I use a method that works pretty well…mix an egg white, a little teeny bit of milk, and corn flour, then let it dry on whereever you want the hair to be removed. It works very well on areas that have fine hairs.
First of all, my fiance made me respond to this contest. For the record, I don’t browse on wedding sites.
How do I deal with hair? My fiance plucks my unwanted unibrow for me with her Tweezerman tweezers. I also have the Tweezerman Deluxe Grooming Kit for MEN which includes nose hair trimmers
how fun!
i get a brazilian bikini wax in orange county (the spa & fitness club in costa mesa). i thread my brows at ziba in costa mesa as well. i shave the rest, though i’m waiting to grow legs out so i can wax too.
Plucking for brows, bleaching for facial hair and shaving for legs, waxing for bikini area
Whoa, that’s a lot of hair removing going on! Why do women torture themselves?! =)
I pluck my eyebrows and my armpit hairs and sometimes shave armpit hairs as well.
I tweeze, wax and shave.
I pluck my eyebrows, shave my legs and armpits, and bleach my facial hair. I tried waxing facial hair once and did not like it at all!
Nothing too crazy. I tweeze my eyebrows with Tweezerman of course and also need to give it a trim with scissors. (But I need that gel and other stuff in the kit…my hairs need to be tamed!) I bleach my mustache or Nair it. And I shave my armpits and legs. I rarely shave my legs though unless it’s a special occasion cuz I don’t get too hairy.
I pluck my eyebrows because waxing there always makes me breakout, I shave my body, and use a depillatory cream for facial hair.
I was blessed with too much hair so I’ve tried it all! I divvied up the methods I’ve tried for each body part and my preferred method.
Face: waxing, thread, pluck = Pluck
Underarms: wax, pluck, electrolysis, laser hair removal, shave = Laser hair removal
Bikini: pluck, wax, laser hair removal = laser hair removal
Legs = nads (creams), shave = shave!
Whoa momma, so many comments! Hehe.. well I guess I will share what I do with my hairs too! I’m a little morbid and enjoy plucking the hair from my underarms with tweezers. I get satisfaction from watching the root of the hair come out from under the skin.. muah ha ha! I too get my eyebrows threaded but since my threading lady is a Bart ride away I sometimes get them waxed. I’ve never shaved my legs because the hairs are so fine and nearly invisible.
I’ve always been a tweezing/shaving kind of girl, depending on the body part. I’ve never heard of anyone tweezing their armpits, but it actually sounds like something I’m willing to try. I (freakishly) enjoy trying new methods of hair removal, but I always seem to go back to the traditional. I’m too much of a pansy to try waxing, though!
Shave - legs, armpits
Wax - brazilian (ouch!), eyebrows
Tweeze - eyebrows
There are some funny posts-haha-love tunnel !!!
This contest couldn’t have come at a better time. I, too, have a psychotic obsession for plucking my brows. I have 5 different tweezers (but alas not the Tweezerman-yet!) In fact, I’ve plucked so much of my eyebrows that it’s just a thin line now. I’ve been known to walk around with scabs on my brows trying to get that last little piece of eyebrow hair. haha-crazy but it feels SOOO good when you get it!
I shave my underarms and legs-easy. I pluck my brows and what little upperlip hair I have. I don’t do anything to my binkini (I’m terrified of how much it’ll hurt) and that’s it. Pretty low maintenance.
i like to thread, but usually i’ll pluck
I shave my armpits and legs however
wax the bikini line, shave the legs, tweeze everything else.
wow. this has got to win the most comments contest too if there was one!
i shave my armpits and legs. i pluck my brows (with tweezerman) too and I can swear by them too!
i’ve had my brows waxed a few times but i think tweezing works out better for me.
I usually pluck/tweeze my eyebrows and shave my armpits.
I usually pluck my eyebrows (though I tried plucking my armpits), wax my lips, and shave everywhere else, including my armpits.
I wax eyebrows. Shave legs and armpits, and lazor bikini. Pluck in between wax apts.
I use cold wax strips & tweezers on my eyebrows, nair the bikini line, and shave everywhere else. If I ever have enough money to do it one day I’m totally going for laser hair removal!
Definitely wished I tried something like wax or threading… but i basically just tweeze the eyebrows
I shave the pits (tweezing went horribly wrong,) tweeze the eyebrows, wax the legs and then get so tired of it that I grow hairy for weeks before going at it again.
Shave, tweeze, lotions!
It depends on the body area!
I use cream on my upper lip, pluck my eyebrows, and shave everywhere else. However, I normally can’t find my tweezers, so I end up “plucking” with my fingernails…including a renegade solo hair that tends to grow from my chin.
I recently lost my tweezers…though they weren’t Tweezerman, they were decent. I’ve never owned Tweezerman tweezers, because they’re just SO expensive.
I shave my legs regularly in the summer, but ease up in the cold seasons. I get my eyebrows threaded once a month, and tweeze in between visits. My underarms are my problem areas…my underarm hairs are thick and stubborn. Fortunately, I have a good friend who LOVES to tweeze. So whenever she gets a chance, she treats me to a *free* tweezing session. In her absence, however, I shave (unfortunately).
WOW!~ Look at all those comments. People are either really eager to win the Tweezerman set or they really have a desire to share their stories about hair removal! haha
I pluck and shave–I’m a simpleton.
I’m mainly a shaver: for my legs, underarms, and bikini area. I use tweezers for my eyebrows (although I do get them waxed every now and again to keep a good shape), and a tweezerman set would be wonderful!
legs and difficult, annoying armpits get shaved, eyebrows and occasional stray chin hair (ugh) get plucked. i try to get my eyebrows waxed every three months or so to keep them the right shape when i pluck.
For my legs, I shave. I have to admit, I just don’t know if I could wax such a large surface area of my body. I bleach my mustache area, and I shave my armpits. For my brows, I pluck. Have had them waxed once.
My friend keeps telling me to get the Tweezerman tweezers b/c she thinks they are the greatest. I would love to but they are pretty expensive. I have used hers and did think they were the best I have ever used.
I shave my legs about every other shower…so every couple of days….it grows back pretty quickly and i HATE being prickly!
I also shave my armpits…I LOVE my VENUS razor…I don’t know what I’d do without it!
For brows and upper lip I wax about every other month. I’ve tried threading, but it slightly freaked me out and I can’t find someone where I live now to do it anyways. In between waxes I keep them tidy by plucking I use my tweezers every morning before my shower…boy a set of the Tweezerman’s would be great!
oh wow so many comments…
my legs i dont have to do anything to them since i’m hairless there.
my eyebrows are really fine so don’t really do anything to them.
my armpits i been plucking them lately. seems to get rid of the hair much more.
my upper lip, i use nair for the upper lip.
I pluck my eyebrows every night and every morning. They grow overnight I swear! I pluck my underarms and sometimes my finger hairs. I shave my legs, but it gets prickly overnight as well. it sucks being a girl sometimes.
i’ve tried it all!
I sugar my legs and upper lip, and pluck my eyebrows. I also shave my underarms; it’s too painful to pluck or anything under my arms!
I am absolutely going to try laser hair removal once I get enough cash on hand!
i definitely pluck the pits.. thread the brows.. and shave the legs (sparingly - since i could pass for being hairless on my legs)!
i. pluck. EVERYTHING. i obsessively pluck and trim my eyebrows every night and i get constant comments of “your eyebrows are so perfectly shaped!” i’m proud to say that i never got them professionally shaped. i grew up with eyebrows that look like two very short, very straight, very bushy caterpillars on my face :O so im pretty proud of the shaping job i’ve done. i also pluck everything from armpit hairs (just like you, bee!) finger hairs, toe hairs… ewww.
but the kicker is how much i got my hubby into plucking… some days we work for hours plucking every hair of his moustache and beard. it’s such a satisfying feeling getting those thick hairs out of his face! even when he ends up with a puffy, bloody face… :O he just ices it and revels in the following days of not having to shave.
the kicker of the kicker is that my hubby has developed a really bad habit. even my mom noticed that when he’s alone, doing nothing, he tips his head up and makes a funny face to stretch out the skin on his neck… and starts feeling around on his neck. when he finds a stray hair, he starts picking at it with his fingertip… he does this for minutes at a time. he finally asks me to pluck it. this happens almost every day… and when i pluck the hair he sighs this HUGE sigh of relief.
i actually have a few funny stories… when i discovered nair as a teenager, i decided to nair off my ever-present, rather masculine sideburns. i loved the look of the bare face for a while until they started growing in again– stubbly!!! i was traumatized!!! another time, i discovered at-home face waxing kits. i used it on my lower cheeks, chin, and ’stache line. it hurt like a mother, so i put the “soothing oil” on afterwards and promptly broke out into hives all over my face that didn’t go away for a week. the hives made it look like i had the oh-so-coveted ’stache and beard that connected……..
i use different methods depending on the body part. for my brows i’ll tweeze them, also my armpits too…for my ’stache i’ll bleach it with good ol Sally Hansen lightening creme. for my legs, i’ll shave. for my stomach area & bikini area, i’ll use Nads. it works, except its messy and it takes too much time. i’ve never tried a wax, i heard i should definitely get a brazilian before the honeymoon to give the hubby a lil surprise.
I wax, but pluck sometimes to get rid of stray hairs in between waxes!
161 comments? wow!
i pluck the brows and shave me legs
i pluck my armpits sometimes too! Eyebrows are a must for me to pluck since they’re very thick, dark, and busy. Razor for my legs =)
i pluck my armpits too ! haha .. also pluck the eyebrows and shave legs.
p.s. love your site !
i pluck my brows and armpits. i used to always be so self conscious of plucking my armpits, but i’m glad to hear that other women are doing it! otherwise i shave my legs/armpits. i really want to try laser hair removal for my armpits or even waxing.
i pluck and pluck and pluck (with shavings in betwewen). Whenever I should be doing anything else (i.e. studying) I start plucking my knuckles, armpits, eyebrows and knees! And I do all this with the little tweezers that come from those little swiss army knives. I desparately need new ones!!! T
i’m OCD about my body hair! i get my upper lip threaded because waxing it burns and leaves scars :(. i get my eyebrows waxed because the threading salon isn’t as reliable when it comes to eyebrows. i shave/pluck my armpits and i pluck my finger and toe hair too! haha. and i shave my legs. i might be asian but contrary to popular belief, we have lots of hair too!!
i heart and covet tweezerman tweezers!!
i don’t have much hair on my eyebrows, but the ones i have are like superduper fine. so, they’re hard to pluck unless you have really sharp and nice tweezers, like the tweezermans. i pluck my eyebrows and armpits. but leave the shaving for the legs and the waxing for my fuzzy upperlip. hehehe. TMI??
i pluck my eyebrows, armpits, and upper lip. hahahhah and i shave my legs. when i was 7, i shaved my arms and now i wish my mom was there to stop me.
im scared to wax.. plus i’m poor..
and that is how i deal.. x)
i shave my legs and underarms and wax/pluck my eyebrows. honestly, wouldn’t it be easier if we just evolved into creatures that didn’t grow hair in these places? oy.
wow! i want to enter too! hahaha. lots of people entering….
i thread my eyebrows and upper lip…. which is amazing by the way…. i shave my legs and ‘pits…. i tried to grow out my ‘pits long enough so i can try waxing but grew impatient with it being so gnarly…. lastly i wax my unmentionables!
i maintain my eyebrows wih tweezerman but i leave the rest to the professionals…
Waxing - legs (usually DIY using Moom at home to save money, occasionally splurging at a salon) and occasionally brows (only done by professionals)
Otherwise, it’s me and my trusty tweezers for brows, underarms, bikini line, and any leg hair strays from waxing!
I’ve shaved, lasered, waxed and tweezed my underarms but I find tweezing most effective. Have made it a routine to do so every other day or so. Brows have always been tweezing as well. Legs, shave as mines grow pretty slow and barely noticeable. Face, bleach. Bikini, wax.
Soooo embarrassing to write but I tweeze my underarm too. I shave and tweeze/pluck all my unwanted hair. Being an Asian, I only need to worry about underarm and eyebrows but it’s one of the more time consuming beauty rituals. :p
oh man, how appropriate is this for me right now!
I just got my lip waxed for the first time two days ago! It STILL feels weird (is that normal?). eyebrows, i pluck. everything else, shave. being blonde has its benefits on the legs and arms! and im sooo glad im not the only one that plucks random ones in the armpits!
i pluck, pluck, pluck, nair, pluck, nair! hahaha I sound like a children’s nursery rhyme. i’ve gone through dozens upon dozens of tweezerman knockoffs through the years, and THIS would be a great pre-wedding gift for this newly engaged! absolutely love keeping up with this site to entertain and inform.
I shave my legs (when I feel like it) and underarms, wax and/or tweeze my eyebrows, and generally use a depliatory on my bikini area, though I sometimes go the full brazillian route and wax.
Best advice I ever got? Use roll-on deoderant over the bikini area after you shave/wax/depiliate and it will reduce irritation and ingrowns. Apparently, it’s an old stripper trick, and it works like a charm on my super-sensitive skin.
I’m a plucker when it comes to the eyebrows, and a razor shaving kind of girl for my legs and underarms. But I do have a box of NADS that I got on sale when I used to work for Walgreens that I’ve used a couple of times with success- but I had my husband to help me both times. He can pull the strip off faster so it doesn’t even hurt. I’m too scared to try actual wax though! YEOW!
I shave my legs and underarms…I have a low pain threshold, so no waxing for me…and I pluck my eyebrows.
pluck eyebrows,
shave legs & underarms
I pluck brows, pits, knuckles and toes and shave everything else cuz waxing leaves way too many ingrowns…yuck! Nair hasn’t worked on me…my leg hair is freaking thick man! those suckers won’t let go! I’ve had friends who waxed so much that their leg hair got thinner and sparser…soo jealous…they never had ingrown hair problems. one day I will laser the shit out of my leg hair!
I wax and shave and tweeze…it’s endlesssssss.
plucking and waxing for my brows. i don’t have much hair on my legs so i hardly shave! plucking and shaving for underarms~ but would love to do laser to totally get rid of it. =)
I own a pair of tweezerman tweezers and they are the best investment I ever made concerning beauty products. I am pretty good at doing my own eyebrows but have to say having the slanted tweezers helps a lot.
For the rest of my body, I shave. I have tried everything from waxing (hot and cold) to hair removing gel, to me investing a LOT of money in an epilator which I used once, on half of my leg.
I have even tried different brands of razors, electric, vibrating, glowing at night, you name it, I tried it. After years of ingrown hairs and lot’s of pain I decided whats good enough for my FIs face will be good enough for the rest of my body and now I use a Mach 3 razor for my whole body. I also use zinc-baby-cream to prevent ingrown hair, that really works.
Of course I have to do it at least once a week but I do it while my conditioner soaks in, so it works out fine.
I use an at-home Gigi hard wax kit for my bikini and underarms and use the razor on my legs. I get my eyebrows waxed about once a month and use tweezers to keep them looking normal.
eyebrows - used to pluck, now i wax
legs, underarms - shave
brazilian - wax
I pluck my eyebrows myself (and my boyfriends for free!) because I’m a broke college student who can’t afford to wax, thread, etc. :o)
I don’t have much hair, kind of an Asian(Chinese?) thing. I pluck the eyebrows and make sure to keep the FI’s free of random stay hairs. I shave my legs and armpits.
I use tweezerman tweezer for my eyebrows and get everything else waxed.
I do it all. I shave em’, wax em’, pluck em’, thread em’. Heck, I even Veet em’.
My lord there are a lot of responses to this one, we must be a hairy bunch of ladies. Or, actually, hairless since there are so many removal methods!!
I’m a shaver for the legs, armpits and a plucker for eyebrows. I want to try to wax or otherwise but I’m kind chicken!
pluck, shave, wax… and sometimes nair
I swear by threading. There’s no recommended threaders in boston, so I usually wait til I go to NYC (once a month). In between i pluck. There’s nothing better than entering the salon with busy eyebrows and leaving 3 minutes later and $6 less with BEAUTIFULLY groomed eyebrows.
As for the rest of the body - wax and shave between waxings.
Wow I really love this website! I’m getting married in June and love looking at what other bride’s are doing. Thanks! AND I could use some new tweezers
I tweeze everything… eyebrows, armpits and upper lip hair… ha!
Have a great day!
pluckity pluck pluck.
i am not ALLOWED to wax — my dermo said that he would END ME if i did that to my super duper sensitive skins.
i shave my legs, pluck my eyebrows and my underarms(i know plenty of girls that do it as well, so it’s not that weird mrs. bee) and sometimes around the bikini area. i’m addicted to plucking so my mother says. i find it therapeutic. =T
I feel like I’ve tried everything under the sun!
Waxing-which I get an allergic reaction to on my face so is no-longer an option
Tweezing, threading(I feel works the best on my face) and I even went out and bought an epilator to use on my arms, legs, pits but I had to stop using it after a while because it was torturous! oh, and shaving, of course.
shaving, waxing, plucking.
I wish we didn’t have to do any of the above!!!
I pluck and thread my brows and wax my legs. I only shave my underarms b/c every other method hurts like crazy! I haven’t tried plucking there though….
I’m generally a waxer/plucker. Wax the browsand bikini area, pluck brows for maintenance. I used to wax the my upper lip, but now use one of thoe “personal shavers” for women–works great and saves me a tone of money!
I find the combo attack works best for me… Shaving, plucking, waxing, and even Nad’s sugar waxing myself at home :0 ! Ahh the things women go through in the name of beauty….
I wish I had the guts to wax my legs, but I don’t so it’s just shaving and tweezing
I am a shaving kind of girl. I tried waxing once…and once was all I needed.
I totally love my waxing lady. Wax for bikini, shaving for legs and under arms, tweezing for brows.
i tweeze, shave and wax
I desperately need a good pair of tweezers! I’ve been searching all over and still haven’t found one that can do the job.
Wax and pluck: Brazilian
Pluck: eyebrows and FH’s chin hairs
Shave and sometimes Nair: legs, underarm
i wax, tweeze, shave
Shave and tweeze.
Eyebrows tweeze & wax. Everything else is razor. I’m too afraid to wax!
I tweeze my eyebrows (with some cheap Revlon ones b/c I can’t find my Tweezermans); shave my legs (wax if traveling); wax underarm
Oh–I am a tweezer, nairer, nadser (only once and I thought I would die!) shaver and trimmer. I would love to save up for laser removal.
I wax everything (eyebrows, armpits, legs, bikini area) and use the tweezers for maintaining in between the waxing. When I go on long vacations, I use dipilatories. I’m looking forward to lasering everything someday…
Eyebrows: wax or pluck
Underarms: shave (I’ll probably wax for the wedding)
Bikini: wax
Legs: shave
I feel the competition!
Anyhow, I wax my underarms and bikini at home. Sometimes, my bf helps me wax my private area (cookie point for that). I shave my legs during shower only!!!
My eyebrows are tricky. I wax them every three month and tweeze every week after taking a shower.
P.S. I noticed a dramatic different between shaving and waxing your underarms. Waxing helps prevent those hideous black dots when your hairs start growing out; it is also clean and last longer.
I do the conventional combination of plucking on the face and shaving everywhere else. My wonderful fiancee is rather unconventional and uses his leatherman on his face, which I find simultaneously disgusting and hilarious!
I am a conventional shaver everywhere but my face. There I am a plucker for the eyebrows and a Nair user for the upper lip
I usually pluck my eyebrows and sometimes my armpits and shave everywhere else. I pluck my armpits because that area’s kind of sensitive and sometimes I get bumps and it itches after I shave.
I’ve been wanting to try threading but I’m too chicken. One day…I’ll try it eventually. I’ve also been too scared to wax too.
I’m not trying to get you to pity me, but I’ve lost my tweezers forever! (I actually really like the Revlon ones) And I haven’t had time to get another pair. I’ve left my brows to be bushy until I decided to fix ‘em up for Halloween. I had to borrow my bf’s non-slanted tweezer that came with his grooming kit. =(
I hope I get chosen randomly!
Shave, pluck, and wax
I would do electrolisis everywhere if I could! But, for now I shave. However, I get my eyebrows waxed everyother week almost religiously. My roommate is going to get a bikini wax Friday so maybe she will convince me to too!
i get the hair on the top of my head trimmed. =)
i pluck my eyebrows on my own
if i’m at my friend’s house, and it’s a good time, her sister will wax my upper lip and clean up my eyebrows.
i shave my underarms. (i’m braving myself up for a wax)
my vajayjay gets waxed if i’m not broke, and well trimmed if i am broke.
my legs get shaved if i’m lazy and impaitent, and waxed (by me) if i’m feeling like making a difference.
i want to get my fingers *there isn’t alot of hair there, i promise* and my back *see above asterik’d comment* lasered, but that is for when I have money….
how’s THAT for a TMI!
I pluck my eyebrows religiously, but I have found that I may need to find a better method of hair removal. Why, you ask? Because, without fail, plucking makes me sneeze. At least 3 times. I shave other areas, but I think for my honeymoon, I’ll try a little wax
I get my eyebrows waxed/threaded depending on how lazy I am to walk to each location.
I kinda have peach fuzz on my lip…yea…we all do right…so when I can’t get to the salon…and I CANNOT for the life of me wax my own hair… I use Avon’s Skin So Soft facial hair remover.
i just became a fan of waxing. why the hell did i wait so long?!? who knows. but this entry is actually for Mr. Spider who plucks everything pluck-able. Of course, he uses the same tweezer I pluck my eyebrows with (MAKES ME SNEEZE TOO~!) uber EW. so he needs his own tweezer.
i REALLy want to try laser hair removal. is it really permanent and painfree??
meanwhile, i shave my legs/underarms and pluck my eyebrows
I take excedrin and chew gum before getting waxed.
I get my brows/upper lip threaded and my bikini line fully waxed at an Indian salon called Ziba… The threading is bearable but the first time I got a bikini wax I left with only half of it done (can you imagine how funny that looked?), it hurt so much!
Guess I need to jump on the bandwagon here and answer, too! I’ve heard so much about Tweezerman but could never get myself to drop ~$20 on a tweezer. We’ll see — if I don’t get one this way, maybe I shall finally pick one up on my own.
As to hair removal, I use an electric epilator on my legs, tweeze my eyebrows and armpits, and sometimes Nair my upper lip when I’m bored and don’t mind the idea of wearing a creamy burning mustache for a few minutes.
i pluck everywhere necessary.. with the exception of shaving my legs..
I use my tweezers to pluck the grey hairs out of my head. Its a wonderful tool! My BF has a slight ( ok, heavy) uni-brow. On our nights in…he rests his head on my lap while i pluck away and dab his uni-brow with ice to numb the pain. Now that’s love, baby!
I stick with shaving my armpits and legs, but would love a nice pair of tweezers for my eyebrows.
you can finance laser hair removal. i got the full body for 5k and fyi ladies, it is not pain free. it hurts like a bizatch. i break out in to a cold sweat each and every time. only my pride keeps me from crying.
I thread the brows..wouldn’t change that for anything and shave pretty much everything else, although once in a while there is a bikini wax to organize things down there
I desparately need this tweezer pack. I’ve tried everything to keep my eyebrows looking good, but I always tend to break out from waxing and anything else for that matter. The ONLY thing that works is plucking my eyebrows by hand…grrrr…. Besides that I wax my bikini and shave my legs
A traditional razor for the legs and threading for the eyebrows and upper lips. The best thing about this is I know how to do both on myself! But the eyebrows pose a problem when threading.
i always have plucked, but i have been looking for a good place to thread my eyebrows. ive heard good/bad stories bout the places in my area and by the time my eybrows grow out, i have to pluck them asap before a special event!
i live in the oc/costa mesa if anyone knows of a good place thats shapes eyebrows by threading!!
i would love love this tweezerman pack! i see them in sephora and was looking to buy one!
I have very light eyebrows but I still need to groom/shape them. I’ve never plucked my eyebrows (I really don’t know how/where to start) so I shave them instead (yes, you heard correctly) using one of those double-edge razor blades. After shaving, my brows look even lighter and sparser (is there such a word?) so I have to fill them in with eyeshadow to darken them. My armpit, too, is almost hairless. Whatever hair are there, I pluck it and it actually feels good to me! Lol. Since I started plucking, it seems my armpit has doubled (although still light looking)…if only my eyebrows had darkened instead.
I get my brows done at the Benefit brow bar at Macy’s in Union Square, SF. Everything else I wax or pluck.
i get my eyebrow threaded once every two months and i pluck in between! i shave my legs once every two weeks (hair on my legs grow very, very slowly!)! i’m thinking of getting a brazilian wax for our destination wedding and honeymoon!
I don’t do anything to my legs, shave my underams, and tweeze my eyebrows. I would love a new pair of tweezers!
I pluck my eyebrows, underarms, and occasionally my leg hairs. I home-thread privately in my bathroom to avoid strange looks from my family, friends, and the judgmental look I get from my stuffed animal family. I am horribly unsuccessful in this home-threading business…at one point, my eyebrows were lopsided. -_-
Shaving is the easiest option but after 5-7 hours, the hair follicles on my legs, arms, underarms, eyes, and god knows where else those razors have touched—will grow back as invisible stubbles. I can’t see them with my naked eye….I just randomly ‘’swipe” at my friends with my seemingly shaved legs/arms/hands/face and watch their reaction. Usually, the “argh!” and “what the hell?–” indicates that I have invisible stubble.
The Nairs and Veet products are used when I am going to have an especially good night/day. Usually meaning, I will be spending it with a man or there will be men/man-people oggling me and my friends. They work well…but the smell lingers and the invisible stubble makes its appearance again!!!
At one point in my college career, I heard you can stop hair follicles from growing by burning it with a ”just-blown out” match. Let’s just say I never did it again.
This tweezerman kit could aid in my battles against invisible stubble and unibrows! Save this world from hairy-ness, Mrs. Bee, before it’s too late!
i have the “little hair” syndrome. i don’t have any hair on my legs so i’ve never shaved in my life (my mom and sisters too!)..however i do get the few in my underarms, but theres nothing a little tweezing can’t do! then there are the little suckers around my lip area and each time i pluck them, tears roll down my cheeks. ahh..the price we pay for beauty ^.^
I’m all about tweezing my eyebrows. i even think i get stress relief and some type of therapeutic calming while im tweezing
and i just shave my legs and underarms. i hate shaving my legs because no matter what i do, i still end up with ingrown hairs. i might have to switch over to waxing my legs soon.
Let’s see- where to start…
Brows- wax, and upkeep with tweezing
Legs- electric razor or Nads waxing
Underarms- shave, either electric or manual
Bikini- manual shave
Lip- tweezing, just the darker hairs leaving the general fuzz. After my first waxing I realized that with my super oily skin it was better to have a fuzzy mustache than an acne mustache.
Brows: wax or pluck or thread (can’t make up my mind!)
Legs: wax but soon I’lll go for laser
Underarms: laser
Bikini: laser
Lip: I am lucky, I have no facial hair!!
I also tried electrolysis and brazilian for my bikini and shave, nair and razor for my legs.
I tried them all!!
pluck eyebrows every 2-4 days, and pluck armpits once a week!
I shave/pluck and wax (only eyebrows)
I’m a shaver and a plucker. Shave my legs and pluck everything else! haha
I pluck the stray hairs from around my eyebrows daily. I find it therapeutic as well. And I shave my legs and underarm areas. Plucking the underarms is a great idea and I did it once, but I didn’t keep up with the maintenance afterwards (you only need to pluck the few hairs that grow in from time to time) and never ended up taking the time to do it again.
threading = eyebrows
LASER = underarm, bikini, full leg. I can’t begin to tell you how wonderful it is that I don’t have to shave or wax these areas. did the laser deal 3 yrs ago and absolutely LOVE IT!
Pluck, wax, shave…but considering lasering it soon for the underarms and bikin - based on my friends’ reviews!
tweezers for me! and sometimes I wax my own eyesbrows…and wax the entire eyebrow off! :O
shave and pluck.
plucking and shaving. considering waxing for the bikini area….
pluckety pluck pluck. i pluck pretty much anywhere. but leave the legs for shaving. oooh, i hope i win. =)
shave legs and pits, wax or thread eyebrows (the lady at V salon in NY chinatown is amazing), obsessed with tweezing to maintain.
btw, tweezerman has a great lifetime guarantee of sharpening-just mail them and they will sharpen them and mail them back!
threading the eyebrows..plucking underarms…veeting the legs… shaving everywhere else
I get my eyebrows waxed every other week.. and plucks the missed ones.. I’m a shaver for underarms and legs.. I should try plucking my underarms too.. in the future, I hope to wax everything! Love your site!!
I try to pluck/wax everything, but in a quick fix I’ll bust out my mach 3.
I pluck my eyebrows and armpits. I’ve only tried waxing my eyebrows once and it ended in a big breakout! Not good! I shave my legs with a razor about once every two weeks in the summer and once every 3-4 weeks in the winter.
I hate shaving but it’s the most convenient. If I have time, I’ll pluck. I’ve even tried to pluck my entire left leg. anyway, love you guys and i mean it!
I think I’m obsessed with plucking my own eyebrows. If other people will let me pluck theirs, I will gladly do it. =) Other methods of hair removal include shaving, and that’s it.
I’m a waxer and plucker!
I’m a waxer and plucker!
I’ve plucked my brows since I was 14 (they were too way too thin, but that was the style that Drew Barrymore made popular at the time).
So by now at 25 years old, plucking is a cinch and it doesn’t hurt at all. What still bothers me is the little “seedlings” that are too short to pluck. I either have to be patient and wait a couple of days or just get better tweezers.
For the rest of my face, I pluck also. It’s time consuming, but waxing doesn’t seem to pull anything out so I spend forever plucking each hair out one by one.
For my legs, I have to shave. I’m anemic, so the few times I tired waxing, my skin bruised and my legs were purple! If you ask me, hairy legs are better than purple legs.
Underarm- I shave. I cannot imagine plucking or waxing. The PAIN!
Bikini- shave and wax …no purpleness there….that I know of. But waxing still hurts like a $!^@!
I’d like to try electrolysis or laser hair removal, but that’s way too expensive! And I don’t know if I want anybody to know where I want hair removed and then SEE it!
My sister and I are four years apart…so i experience shaving first. I hated the hair on my underarms would grow back thicker..so when she started growing hair there…she asked me what to do…and I told her to go with plucking…it’s a lot cleaner and in the long run better for your pits….so for the past 5 years she’s never once shaved her pits…she’s grown obsessed with plucking the hair there…
The other hair regime we share is getting our our eyebrows waxed….it’s so clean after the lady peals away the wax…we’re tried threading and it just doesn’t compare. The secret to not breaking out after is to use a benefit product “Boo Boo ZAP!” it’s a blend of salicylic acid and camphor. The lady that waxed me at benefit said that it helps keep the red, swelling, and irritation down….so i bought some and it even takes care of the occasional breakout.
I will wax when it’s a special occasion because I have the time to go and do it. When it’s something out of the blue, I shave.
I shave my legs, and wax the rest of the way. I’d love to try threading…but it seems scary!
Most of the time, I wax my legs and the rest. I’d love to try threading…but it seems painful!
It wasn’t until recently that had built up enough courage to get my eyebrows waxed. I can actually remember when I was in junior high experimenting by trimming my eyebrows. Needless to say I was left traumatized and verturally browless for a few months. Well, finally I decided to try waxing. The gal held my hand and told me it would only hurt for a second and since then I’ve waxed with a combination of tweezing stray hairs. Unfortunately, because I’ve been an unemployed nursing student, I’ve stuck to tweezing, but hope to someday soon revert back to waxing and maybe even try threading.
i pluck underarms and shave my legs.
Shave legs and underarms, pluck strays. No one had ever TOUCHED my eyebrows - with wax or tweezers - until 2 days before my wedding. The lady who did it was so sweet to me, because I was scared!! I was pretty good about maintaining the look, though…for about two months.
I tweeze when I’m stressed/bored/annoyed/happy/moody. The concentration it takes to get that one tiny short hair that’s been bugging you all day!! and the victorious feeling when you finally get it!!
I am a hairy gal unfortunately :(. People always say Asian are blessed with so little (if any) hair. But I’m Asian, so what happened to me?
I’ve undergone everything except laser. But I settled with plucking my eyebrows, shaving my underarms, and waxing for everything else.
oooo! i just noticed that weddingbees are eligible to enter. woohoo!
let’s see…
eyebrows: pluck
legs, armpits: shave
and that’s it. =)
I always try to find a not too sharp tweezer but no luck so I do threading on my eyebrow and shave the rest .
I absolutely hate unwanted hair!
I’ve shaved, plucked, dipilatorized, and bleached..
I’ve shaved, waxed, sugared…. everything but threading but I’ll admit I’m entrigued.
I usually tweeze my brows…have done waxing, threading…whatever does the trick! The funniest part of my hair removal routine is definitely my bikini waxing. I have been going to the same woman for about 2 years and she is hysterical. A bunch of the girls from my law school journal started going to her. First, she is so quick (20 minutes tops for a full brazilian) that it makes the process a lot less painful. But her best quality is that she says CRAZY things - calling her clients “her super models” and making sure we know how “fancy” we are by handing us a mirror to check out her work! Her over the top style makes the whole process less akward.
I currently shave b/c it’s cheap and fast but I prefer waxing for bikini area, threading for eyebrows and maybe waxing for armpit.
Hi! I was just wondering what people’s experiences with laser hair removal was. I’m interested, but not sure about the whole thing.
Also, I usually shave my legs, and just pluck my eyebrows. I know, it’s so typical right? hehe. Waxing seems to scary for me, and threading is pretty new to me since I live pretty far away from bigger cities :). YAY!
well, laser hair removal is actually pretty painful, like i mentioned in the previous comment. its a feeling similar to a snap of the rubber band against ur skin but repeat that approx. several hundred times.. because the surface of the laser is about 1 inch by .5 inch and it has to cover whatever area you want to laser, by that surface. am i being too unclear? can i just tell you that the underarm and the bikini line will make u cry? but its honestly worth the pain. i’ve done 6 sessions for full body already and my hair growth is diminished by 80%. i have unlimited sessions until i am 100% hairless for $5k. and i financed it over 12 months interest free so it was about $420 per month.
When I have time, I try to tweeze… my armpits and legs. Haha, I thought it was funny you said armpits. Mostly, I shave for convenience. Although, I find my hair grows a lot slower and thinner after I tweeze.
I usually go with wax but I’ve tried sugaring as well. I long to try threading but I haven’t had a great recommendation in the Dallas area. I keep up between waxing with tweezing…
how funny, i bought a tweezerman the day before my wedding in preparation for my honeymoon (and lost it on my honeymoon). i epilady-ed by legs for the first time at my bachelorette party (all of us zapped everything) and it permanently killed 70% of the hair on my legs. no joke! at first, i started to get a weird small-pox like infection on my legs, but each pox ended up being a killed hair root and now i am eternally grateful.
epi-lady for the majority, tweezerman what you can.
