Getting rid of bikini hair without waxing or shaving?

I used to be a 6 week waxer, although it hurt so bad I wanted to literally kill myself every time. It's expensive, time consuming (driving there and back, plus the appt) and painful, so I'm looking for an alternative. Shaving gives me crazy razor burn. Are there any alternatives? I want something I can do at home. Creams? I think I remember hearing about an at-home laser type remover?

TIA!

  • I am watching this thread because I need to wax badly (shaving never works out) but it is a huge pain and expensive! Hope someone answers...

    Any weird side effects? Any horrible itching episodes after?

    posting so I can find this later....I need some recs for this too.  I've had some bad luck with waxers lately.

  • I just bought Nair at home sugar wax. I haven't tried it yet, and I fully expect it to still hurt... but it is a lot cheaper than the salon! 

     

    I am terrified to try the Veet because Nair hair removal lotion always gave my legs a burning, hellish painful rash for days.  

  • Laser hair removal... best thing I ever did for myself!

  • I also did the laser. I got my bikini line 60-70 percent clear. I stopped going after I got married and, since it's thinner, I can shave without bumps. It was so bad before  that I looked like I had a disease or something. I would love to try TRIA, the at-home laser. It has excellent reviews and is much less expensive than going to an office. Plus, you could use it all over your body.
  • I use a Sally Hansen wax kit at home. I don't find it hurts as much as the salon but hair regrowth is a little quicker.

    This is like a mini handheld shaver, and Amazon's reviews say it is extremely gentle and safe on very intimate areas.

  • I've always used the Nair for Bikini line...doesn't give me red bumps or itching, and it lasts a few days longer than shaving.

  • I always use a regular Veet or Nair cream.  I will say that when I first started using it years ago it would irritate my skin (and it would kill me to walk for a couple of days) but now it's no big deal.
