Today for the first time in my entire life, I attempted to wax my legs. Yuk. I'm more usually a perpetual jeans-wearing hairy-legged freak who digs out a Bic disposable for the occasional skirt-wearing occasion. But shaving is just so itchy and stubbly and horrible, and I have to go to a maths conference in Spain next month :-/
So, got some wax strips in Superdrug, tried out a wee patch today. But it didn't seem to do anything. I followed the instructions to the letter, but there's still lots of hairs all over the bit I did, even if there's a few stuck to the paper as well. And it didn't hurt nearly as much as it's meant to - in fact not at all. Leg now has a pattern of pink dots too.
Hmmm, there must be some trivial and obvious thing that I am doing wrong.
*feels stupid*
