Hey everyone,

So basically I wax my legs during the summer, and shave during the winter. I wear a skirt and socks for school, and most other girls at my school wax through the winter, but that's not really an option for me.
This winter, however, I am considering the option of bleaching the hair on the upper half of my legs, because it takes too long to shave everything. I would also consider Nair or Veet cream hair removal, but I've heard it's detrimental to the skin, and would like to avoid that. If neither of them are good options, I will stick with shaving.
So, I'm looking for the opinions of the lovely ladies here on VT.

Do you bleach or use hair removal on your leg hair?
If so, which method do you use?
Is it a good option?
How long does it last before a reapplication is necessary?

If you don't, is there any particular reason why you don't?

Thanks a bunch to anyone who replies!

I use Nair on my legs and arms. i never have a problem with it. just follow the instructions on the bottle and you should be fine. i typically do it once a week.

Err. I tried Nair a few times, and it was just all the way around more difficult than shaving. Plus, if you screw up, you'll a chemical burn, and that's just not fun at all. Now bleaching? That should be fine.

I find shaving is easier, and quicker - but bleaching might be a good solution if you find the right stuff...I might look for that since my arm hair seems to be getting more noticeable

The Nair hair removal cream thing is terrible, I tried it once and it burned like a mother. Bleaching would probably be the best option if you really don't want to shave.

Thanks everyone. I'm probably going to go with bleach, because nair just seems to complicated, and I'm not interested in a chemical burn.

What kind of bleach should I look for?

Shaving is the best for me. I'm not that hairy ANYWHERE, LOL.
