Hairy Legs

It's summer, I wear shorts sometimes, but look at these hairy legs!

Shaving once a week isn't enough in the summer like it is in the winter, and I don't really want to shave more often than that.

I tried Nair, but the process was slow and messy and didn't last any longer than shaving. I tried a longer lasting type, but it didn't get all the hairs and I had to shave anyway. Those hairs it got lasted longer, but half shaved legs aren't much help.

So I splurged for my birthday and got a epilator. I had trouble waiting until my hairs were long enough to pull to try it. The one I got has these "massagers" (poky vibrator thingies) to distract you from the pulling sensation, which mostly worked.
It seemed to take a lot of passes to get most the hairs though. I finally figured out I was using it backwards, and it works much better if you hold it the right way.

G says I've been fiddling with it too much, since the point was supposed to be to spend *less* time, not more. I figure I'm still figuring it out, and it is kinda fun to mess with.

I'm a little worried about ingrown hairs, which I didn't really think about until after I started this process. I guess we will have to see how it goes.
I should probably mention the red irritation that happens right after you use it. Goes away okay, but looks like a rash at first.
