Q: Hair removal cream

Has anyone used this on their legs and did you have an issues using it?
I know shaving isn't a necessity but I'd like to look less like a gorilla.
Even though my hair isn't growing as fast anyhow I can no longer reach parts of my legs comfortably to shave and noticed that the back of my thighs are hiddious as I've not even attempted to shave them for a looooong while.

Obviously this would be up to your comfort level, but ask your hubby to shave you!

I'd go get waxed. It's got to be safer than the depilatory chemicals. Go to a place that uses wax without strips, it hurts way less. Your legs won't hurt very much anyway.

Not sure if it's safe during pregnancy, but I've used them in the past. If you're not sure how you'll react to it, I'd suggest trying a test patch in an inconspicuous place (like your ankle). Leave it on for the time indicated in the directions, then wait 24 hours to see if you have a reaction. I've never had an issue but have had friends who ended up with burns (either from sensitive skin/reactions or from leaving the product on too long). Good luck!

That's cause you're tiny lol! I'm up a stone now and as I reach my hip kills plus i can't see a thing, hubby has to help me in and out of the bath now too. Apparently it's safe but a skin reaction is possible but I'm not sure how common it is.
Might try a tiny bit on my leg to see how it goes.
