    Boots do their own hair removal cream and it's very good. It doesn't smell bad either, which a lot of creams do so it's something to bear in mind when picking one.

    Veet do a hair removal cream for men that might be worth consideration.

    Hair removal creams will only give you maybe week or so before regrowth starts back. Would you consider waxing? You'd get longer out of it.

    hi thanks for the post, i have , but i could handle a week at a time, as opposed to waxing, (have heard bad things from exes\gfs etc) how long would it last and how long would it have to be before getting it done?? Is that boots cream for men as well, thanks again...

    If you wax you could get up to 4 weeks hair free before regrowth started but then you would need to wait a week or so for the hair to be long enough to wax again. Generally the hair needs to be a couple of mm before waxing will be effective. On the plus side though, the more you wax the finer the regrowth becomes over time and you may even find that the hair stops growing completely. (Waxing sometimes pulls the follicle out.)

    The Boots cream is unisex I think. It's just in a white box and if I remember correctly it's five or six quid.

    Waxing shouldnt hurt that much, if the person doing it is doing it correctly the pain level is minimal...its well worth considering waxing, you get so much longer out of it and its a lot better than smothering so much skin in a chemical thats going deep into your pores...
    If theres a salon near you that uses Lycon wax thats meant to be a lot more pleasant!
