As hot as I can bear! I have occasionally run a bath so hot I've felt a little faint. We are in a new house now and the bath is made of some sort of metal (I think) so it gets cold really quickly - I miss hot baths

how weird are vet nurses.

Bonjela to pluck eyebrows
Teething jel to pluck eyebrows
Prep H for cuts and wounds
A bomb to put in the bath.

You couldnt make it up

not quite the same but teething gel is great when you pluck your eyebrows

Tried Emla cream but that really had no effect! Otherwise i'm too much of a wimp!!

Use ivnegar if you read the indications in the event of burns (to any degree) use vinegar it counteracts the chemical Ph that is burning.

You are def lucky Carolyn, I don't often shave my legs unless I really need to - hence the embarrassing situations above!! Once used hair removal cream on my underarms and it stung like mad for a whole day and that was the sensitive type of cream. I had to keep putting sudocream on, it didnt really help but I had to to something! In hindsight, maybe I should have tried the emla cream!

I am one of the lucky ones. Hair never grows above my knees and it takes about 4-6months before l need to shave my lower legs as the hair takes so long to grow.

I like my baths very hot, the water started running cold out of the tap once, so me; horrified, had to boil the kettle twice to heat up the cooling water!

As for hair removal remedies, I bought myself an epilator a while back and used it last month. I was very dissapointed! My right leg which I tried, was still left with fuzz! Shorter and more sparse but hardly the smooth silky effect I was promised. Anyway I've never tried waxing, can't afford it and so I am left with the endless but at least satisfying task of shaving every couple of days!

Selena - I used to work with a vet who waxed her underarms too - she came in one day and said that it had made her bleed!! Gawd no - razors are fine ta! Although I regularly use immac on my legs - tried it on my armpits once when I had no razor, and it stung like mad for about 2 days!

Re the baths - I'm a wuss - I like them at a nice middling hot temp - too hot and you get that thing where you can almost hear your heart beat, and I hate that lol

i know what you mean, i love a hot bath although my OH can stand it much hotter than me! i'm a bit of a wimp

At the moment though i have to have a bath when OH is around, being 9 months pregnant makes getting out of the bath a bit of a military manouver!! and i'm worried about slipping or getting stuck!!

I'm a bit wary with hair removal creams as i used immac under my arms and by god did it sting!! i've nevr used it under arms since on om my legs but the smell makes me gag.

Tried waxing... never again owwwwwww (one of the vets i used to work with Waxed her underarms... makes my eyes water just thinking about it!!)

I have had the same problem with my legs I swear I have never been in so much pain! my mum once put it on her underarms and it happened she couldnt put her arms fully down for days! bless her!

It was bloody awful and it is a chemical burn. The vinega is the antidote as the Ph in it counters the chemical burn.

I doubt it was hormonla Paula. I used hair rem. once and was fine, the second time was agony and even though l followed the emergency reactions instructions on the box it took about 3 bottles of vinegar over them before they faded to less red and dull throb [:'(]
