Waxing stuff...
Okay, so I hate shaving. During winter, I won't really shave my legs because I can be covered up and no one will know, but summer is fast approaching and I was dreading having to contort myself in the shower to get those smooth legs. Then I started thinking about waxing. I've never had anything waxed before, and I didn't want to spend so much money to go to a salon and get it done, especially since I wasn't sure I would like it. So I bought a waxing kit from Amazon and decided to try it by myself at home.
Tonight was the first time I waxed my legs and, well, it wasn't that bad. Hurt about the same as tweezing eyebrows, to be honest, which is tolerable. Your leg prickles a lot more after, because it's so many hairs being pulled out, I suppose, but I actually like how fast it is (for the most part). I don't really like the mess of the wax, but I can live with it if it means my legs stay smooth for more than a day or two at a time.
One issue I have with is the double-dipping thing. Everything online says don't double dip, because it can spread bacteria - but all of this is about salons. Which, JFC, gross, they really shouldn't be using the same sticks and pots of wax from one person's vag to the next person's face - how is that even a question? Considering that I'm the only person using this particular pot of wax, and it's for my legs and maybe underarms, does the no-double-dipping rule even come into play? Because it would really cut back on a lot of the hassle if I could just double-dip, damn.
