Would you shave for a lady?

I smell like an old peoples home (no offence to old people).

never knew tiger balm smelled like lavender and wee??

Tiger Balm, wonderful stuff. My sis bought some home from Singapore some years ago and she needs to be getting deployed in that region again pretty soon as I've finally run out.
A little really does go a long way!

You can buy it in our local chemist - white or red. About £4 a jar.

You just made me splutter over the keyboard, then, tee hee hee!

I pluck rather than shave. Lasts longer and you can't beat picking out those ingrowing hairs. Ooh the satisfaction when you get a long one and hark at the amazement when a 5 incher is revealed!!

Do the pits this way, too. A bit tear worthy first time, but keep on top and it's soooo much better than shaving!

Olbas Oil (or the supermarket equivalent) is just as good, used as a muscle rub.
You can get Tiger Balm in Poundshops, but perhaps it's just vaseline, lavender and wee ?

How much does it cost?

I'm here trying to imagine how long it would take to pluck legs, arms and, erm, other bits

Plucking ages!

I have to admit that when I went in for Day Surgery to have my wisdom teeth removed in November last year, I shaved my legs for the occasion, but they did warn me that I would have to wear a surgical gown (they let me keep my clean knickers on though!).

When I was 9 months pregnant I was even still painting my toenails (they are ALWAYS painted - bright pink at the mo), I have NO IDEA how I reached to do it as I grew out of all my maternity clothes and was the size of a large bungalow.
The annoying thing was that the hospital took it off as I had c-section and they needed bare nails for the op. Bummer.

I took polish and painted them after the op! even took my hairstraighteners to hospital, wasn't going to have any mad hair pics of me and the baby lol. IN fact I think I asked the surgeon who kindly took a pic for us of all 3 of us in the op room if my hair looked ok. He did give me a funny look though!

11 months pregnant!?!

Oops , well spotted HW! I could pretend I was just testing, and you passed with flying colours......

I blame all the unaccustomed early starts I've had this week. *Goes off to hide*

my ex bought me an epilator for xmas a few years ago ..... it said on the box ....... less pain ....... yup, less pain than sticking red hot pokers in my eyeballs ...... i managed about an inch up my leg ........ ..... actually i think i'd prefer the pokers.
