I would LOVE a long-term solution to body hair. :/ My hair grows back so fast, and so far Saw Palmetto is the only thing that helps reduce how fast it grows (although honestly that doesn't even start working until it's been in my system for months, by the time I start cleansing again! >.<)
I'm too poor for laser hair removal, plus that would be embarrassing for me (don't ask why, I'm strange). I've yet to try an epilator, and that's my last hope. I bought a home wax kit two years ago, and four different types of wax to go with it. $40 later, and nothing. Most of the wax didn't even adhere to my hair, and just really hurt without pulling out any hair. The few places I WAS able to pull hair out of grow a lot less now, so my hair grows back on my legs a little patchy (somehow), but I was never able to get a smooth finish.
Right now, I'm stuck with razors. I use men's razors, as they give me the best shave of anything I've tried so far, and I'll use deodorant or a toner afterwards in places that are prone to irritation (like the bikini).
Unfortunately, with my pale-white skin and black hair (stupid Italian genetics), even when I shave, you can still see the hair follicle under my skin...Which is why I REALLY want to try another method.
