Before ya step out in a teeny bikini, you’ve gotta read our guides to gettin’ fuzz-free. From bleaching to waxing (and everything in between!) we’re gonna give you a weekly how-to. Don’t worry, this is gonna be painless.BEAUTY 101: Depilatories What They Are: Creams that dissolve hair, so you can wash it away. Perfect For: Girls who don’t wanna worry about nicks! You can use ‘em on most places, like legs, bikini line and pits. Definitely keep depilatories away from your face. How To: 1. Dab a li’l cream on your leg for a test patch. DON’T SKIP THIS STEP! Seriously. Wait 5 minutes and wash it off. If your skin reacts weirdly, just don’t use it. 2. Evenly slather on enough depilatory to cover all the hair you wanna remove. 3. Grab your loofah and get in the tub. This can get messy! Use the loofah (or washcloth) to wipe off all the cream. 4. Take a shower to clean up any spots ya missed. And you’re set. Insider tip: Use a loofah to really buff hair away. If hair is a li’l coarse, ya may have to leave the cream on longer to get totally smooth. Our Pick: Nair Pretty Soft Raspberry Hair Remover Cream
It totally nixes the myth that depilatories have a harsh smell!

I am on swim team so I have to shave my bikini area a lot. whenever i do i get itcht red bumps. what am i supposed to use or do?
Posted by: MJ Mouse on 5/9/2008 1:52:44 PM
They make Nair for sensitive skin now. I found it at Wal-Mart last week. It's really good and it doesn't leave any annoying marks on your skin.

I would like it, but I don't think my mom would let me. She allows me to shave, sure, but I'm not sure give the OK on this.

MJ Mouse, same for the sweam team part. Try to ride it out and if it bothers you that much see if you can get a cream or something from a doctor.
Posted by: Swimmin' Somewhere on 5/9/2008 3:54:32 PM
the nair kiwi foam smells HORRIBLE. seriously, its gross. don't use it, it doesnt work and makes your skin feel gross. (idk about the cream, though)
Posted by: hockeyhottie93 on 5/9/2008 3:56:00 PM
I used Nair one time but I think that is only got ten hair off my legs:-(
Posted by: cbb123 on 5/9/2008 4:03:53 PM
ok, you may say they don't smell so bad, but all the nair i've smelled smells AWFUL! it hate it.
Posted by: refrigeratedrubberbands on 5/9/2008 4:24:53 PM

Posted by: ilovetoshop4ev on 5/9/2008 4:31:10 PM

Posted by: pinkblink586 on 5/9/2008 4:36:26 PM
Wow, these comments are outta whack...
Posted by: Swimmin' Somewhere on 5/9/2008 4:44:07 PM
my friend used nair once, but it turned her legs bright red because she used hot water, but no-da, you shower in hot water
Posted by: juls on 5/9/2008 4:47:45 PM
i don't think mine showed up
Posted by: juls on 5/9/2008 4:51:09 PM
***MOD*** What will happen if you do use it on your face?
Hey girl!
you shouldnt use it on your face, read the directions and see what it says to do.
Posted by: jjk381 on 5/9/2008 5:11:14 PM
yuckk i hate nair it smells weird and takes to long .. shaving is soo much easier
Posted by: fall back into my life ♥ on 5/9/2008 5:11:31 PM
MOD! Wait a minute! You're not supposed to put it on your face? Because I bought this one at a store and the box said you can use it on your face....
There are certain products that are designed to be used on your face, and others that aren't if your box says it's ok for the face, then it is. -lauren
Posted by: Princess Alexa on 5/9/2008 6:25:52 PM
i've never ever used nair does it hurt and does it work i dont really care if it stinks
Posted by: gl<3 on 5/9/2008 6:54:35 PM
I use Nair on my legs. It works well, and it lasts up to a week. DON'T shave and then uuse Nair, It will burn and turn your skin red and bumpy!
Posted by: UniquelyMe<3 on 5/9/2008 7:27:36 PM
***MOD*** My friend said that it burned but i don't know if it was just because it acted weird on her skin. is it true that it burns or not?
People have different levels of skin sensitivity. It may have stung your friend, but that doesn't mean that it will sting you. -lauren
Posted by: tinyturtle40 on 5/9/2008 7:35:00 PM
Wow, I might have to try this. My pits get nicks really easily when I shave there, so it can be embarrassing when wearing short-sleeve shirts and raising my hand in class. Hopefully this can solve that!

MOD! How do I get a pen pal?
Hey girl, go to this link: http://www.girlslife.com/page/Pen-Pals.aspx It has everything you need to get started! -lauren

Posted by: roxy on 5/10/2008 6:58:46 AM
***MOD*** I would love to use depilatories for my legs and other things but my mom says that the chemicals in the depilatories are bad for u because they dissolve the hair then go into you skin. Is this fact or fiction!?!?
Hey girl, I'm not sure to be honest. You should talk to your doctor about it and find out what they have to say!~Kristin

MOD!!!!!!!! I want to become a babysitter and I don't know where to certification?? Please Help
Hey girl, you actually don't have to be certified to be a babysitter. Just get your name out there and have your mom start telling her friends that have younger kids that you want to babysit. Before you know it you'll be getting lots of business!~Kristin
Posted by: Madawg12097 on 5/10/2008 8:51:33 AM
Mod- Okay, I just started to shave and I'm confused. Whats your Bikini line? I know that sounds stupid but could you help me out?
Hey girl, it's the part that isn't hidden by your bikini.~Kristin

MOD Where can I get first aid training?
Hey girl, you should go online and research places that will do it in your area!~Kristin

MOD-- hey I really want to start shaving but I don't know if or how I should ask my mom. My sister just went ahead and did it but I think I 'd feel better if I had her permission. Also I'm kind of embarrassed to ask her...can you help??
Try planning out what you want to say to her in advance. Come up with reasons why you want to start shaving. If you have something planned out, it will be easier to say something. -lauren

oh la la! i want to go buy some of that!
Posted by: zhangerino on 5/10/2008 11:58:36 AM
*********MOD!********** Can you help me? I like this cute, smart funny guy, and we get the exact same grades and are a lot alike. He is also my BGF, and I used to think I could read him really well, but know I don't know. My bff and other guyfriend think I should ask him out, but I need some confirmation that he likes me first. He tells me stuff all the time, before he even tells his best friend! And he is always asking me questions about hw, but I think he gets it. The only thing is that his best friend hangs out with the popular group( Me and that group have a mutaul dislike for eachother) and he seems to kind of like them. I just don't know what to do. Plz help me if you can!
The only way you can really find out how he feels is by talking to him, otherwise you will never be 100% sure. Hanging out with him more and helping him shows that you care, and maybe he will realize that you like him and then he will admit it. Just try talking to him and seeing how he feels.

****MOD**** How much would Nair cost!? Where can I find some?!
YOu can find Nair at any market or drug store like Rite Aid or Safeway. It is not very expensive probably ranging from 6-15 dollars.

MOD!!! I really want to do something with my legs hair. I'm blonde and my mom tells me that I can't shave my legs cause, "no one can see it". But you can see shiny strands all over my legs. EEEW! I want to use NairPretty on my legs, but the first time i talked to her about it, she said no way, it would sting you like crazy. Any tips on how to persuade her otherwise? If not, do you have any CHEAP non-shaving solutions? (what a miracle that would be!)
Another option is to wax your legs, but if your mom won't let you shave or use nair, it isn't likely she'll let you wax. Try explaining to her why you want to shave your legs and hopefully she'll understand. You could also ask her about waxing. -lauren
Posted by: maddicat on 5/10/2008 6:14:14 PM
Hey my comments never show but is anyone on and if so can u give me tips on boys???
Posted by: meags96 on 5/10/2008 6:29:46 PM
*****MOD**** how long does it keep the hair away. do you have to use it daily?????
Hey girl, it keeps the hair away for a week or two, so you would have to use it less than you would have to shave
Posted by: hkblack1 on 5/10/2008 7:23:43 PM
MOD! I know your not supposed to shave your arms or try to get rid of the hair,but can this work on arm hair cause I HATE mine!
Hey babes, I shave my arm hair and never have a problem. xoxo JANA
Posted by: ducky445544 on 5/10/2008 10:10:30 PM
************ MOD ************ If you are using Nair, how long does it keepe the hair away?(im ahving a hard time phrasing that question)
Hey babes, IDK...I dont use Nair xoxo JANA
Posted by: Hkblack1 on 5/11/2008 6:36:26 AM
MOD!! I saw the question about the arm hair and I have arm hair but would it be weird if i shaved/used Nair on it. mine is kind of long and my friends/family would probably notice.
Hey babes, they might notice but it isnt that big of a deal. I am a really hairy person and I would rather have bare arms than long, noticeable arm hair. xoxo JANA
Posted by: Hkblack1 on 5/11/2008 6:39:34 AM
***MOD*** my arm hair drives me crazy and i want to bleach it but a lot of people says it hurts. does all of them hurt. i really dont want to wax or have stubble on my arms from shaving!
Hi babes, I shave mine and I dont have stubble. I would shave them, xoo JANA
Posted by: dancerxdwa on 5/11/2008 8:47:42 AM
Mod- Okay, I'm lost. What is your bikini line? AND... are SUPPOSED to shave your arm hair or whatever? ugh help P.S. Nair doesn't work for me. I use carefree
