Has anyone done their bikini line at home using wax strips ? I swim a lot in the summer and I'm fed up with the methods I've used so far to keep tidy "down there". Shaving and creams don't give a good and lasting result. I've used strips on my legs and don't find it at all painful, but I'm afraid that the bikini line might be another story ! once it's on it will have to come off and what if I'm too much of a wuss ! Is it really painful ?Appreciate advice here. Just talking about a tidy up ,not a full Brazillian.

Before I go on holiday I shave my bikini line. I could not possibly 'not bother' - I guess we all have differing amounts to be dealt with?

Why bother? Who cares or notices

Depends how extensive and how dark the hair is.

I do get irritated by how dismissive people can be just because something that isn't too much of a problem for them, without considering what a very real problem it is for those of us who have an excess of body (and facial) hair.

It does have advantages; really thick hair on the head, that hasn't visibly thinned, even in my 80s, but I certainly wouldn't go swimming with thick dark hair spreading down my legs.

I use a razor. Quickest and easiest.
