Today is going to be a TMI day. Don’t say I didn’t warn you!
So here goes. I’m a waxer. There I said it. My mother thinks I’m crazy and I’m sure my first-time-scream could have been heard 20 miles away, but I’ve learned to embrace the bikini wax.
Five minutes of pain = six to eight weeks of heaven.
At the age of sixteen, I decided to torture myself by getting my first bikini wax. Since then, I’ve moved on to the Brazilian waxes. They hurt just about the same amount as or less than the regular bikini. It’s a personal preference. But whether you wax or shave, I know you’ve all experienced the same wax/shave issue as me.
The in-between. You know, the in-between stage when you have to wait to wax or shave again. Gosh, I hate that!
Well, lucky for us, Schick (among other companies) has come out with the razor/trimmer duo. You heard me. One side is a disposable razor, the other is a battery-operated bikini-line trimmer. And it works!
You can decide how short you want to trim (just adjust the trimmer cover — for a close trim, take the plastic cover off). It will not make you as smooth as a wax or a shave, but it’s a great alternative for the in-between.
Target has a deal on the Schick duo right now –$8.99 vs. the usual $10.99.
There is another product that I have yet to try, but will soon. It is the Bliss Bikini Trimmer. Chargeable and a bit more expensive, this product isn’t disposable and could be a wise alternative for those of you who will use this product often. You can also purchase the Bliss Trimmer at Target for $49.99.
