A friend of mine was half way through a bikini wax when the fire alarm went off and she had to limp to the car park!

Last time I had a bikini wax a few years ago it left ugly red marks on my skin so no longer for me. . .as others have said I just use scissors reasonably regularly and then shave inner thighs when I know I'll be wearing cossie. I wear a tankini which which is brill; they have almost short type bottoms which leave you less exposed and you can go to the loo without having to strip off?

I spent ages in the shower last night sorting my bits out - blocked the plug hole in the bath ! The girls at work all go for a wax but the idea of it horrifies me !
Does anyone still use Immac - I can remember the smell of it !

Get a 'boyleg' swimsuit.

I plait it then tuck it in. grin Bikini wax - never and wear a bikini - never!!! Not for me haven't got the figure for it. I wouldn't worry about the beautician she has seen hundreds - its her bread and butter so to speak.

I just keep myself tidied up generally. So when I"m wearing a swimming costume, it's never a problem.
Doesn't everyone?

Exactly the same!

So, I hate having a bikini wax. I tell myself it's the beautician's job and she's probably done it hundreds of times but I still find it embarrassing. It's only the thought of showing hair poking out of a swimsuit that gets me to a beauticians. What do other gransnetters do?
