NAD'S.

I mentioned this in post before, so I thought I'd do a little review/explaination.

I use this wonderful sticky stuff to rip the hair out of my legs. I've done this occasionally in the past but never regularly till about 5 months ago. I decided that my legs had enough years of shaving, especially in my advanced years. As you may or may not know, any method of tearing out hair carries a risk of ingrown hairs, since when you rip it out by the roots it grows back with a point instead of a flat head like shaving does. At least this is my understanding of this.

So this is what I do, after some trial and error, it works for me, YMMV.

The package comes with 5 strips, which can be easily washed off in hot water and just popped in the dryer for a few minutes and you're good to go again. If you're impatient you can cut more strips from old white t-shirts, and/or just wait till you purchase another, since more strips will come with. I wash and reuse, but I also have some small t-shirt strips for getting small missed bits.

I do the hair ripping right after drying off for a shower, since it seems to work best on clean skin, then later that day I shower and scrub the shit out of my legs with poofy scrubby guy. Then the next day I do so again, and shave. And then always keep scrubbing the shit out of legs each shower, but only shave that once.

I have not had any ingrown hairs on my legs since I've been doing it this way. And the hair on my legs is significantly lighter and thinner after nadsing regularly, as well.

I highly reccomend Nad's for legs, and also arms if you do not like the hair on your arms. However, for me, it is not strong enough for the pubic area, my Hairs Down There have very deep roots opposed to my leg hair, so Nad's isn't quite strong enough. But you may be different.
