Strippers please help!!!!

Not a dancer by any stretch of the imagination, but I am good friends with one. She says that a lot of the girls go through and get sugaring done (which apparently isn't as harsh as waxing. *shrugs*).

She said with time and doing it often enough eventually the hair gets so fine that it is as soft as a baby's bottom when it grows in... but it takes time. She also said that lotion is your best friend as it helps with the smoothness of her skin.

Extremely helpful, I'll look into sugaring.

Bath and body works has some that leave the skin sooooo soft, by the way. But some people find the aroma too strong. They're about $16 a container.

I get mine at Vicky's and it smells delightful. Normally about $9 each, but they run sales all the time for 5/$30.

Lotion or sugaring products?

Sugaring. I don't buy their lotions, they dry far too quickly. Gack lol.

Use baby oil gel as shave cream. It makes things incredibly smooth and prevents razor burn and ingrown hairs in sensitive areas... Cough.

Why didn't you ask the girl that was stripping for some tips?

this is a good thread...love the title. My leg hair grows extremely fast as well. I have never heard of sugaring before. Will look into that as well. When I shave before the gym, the next morning I have slight stubble. Damn hair...ugh..thank god for fitted capri gym pants or else I wouldnt shave in the winter. LOL...oopppps:laugh:

I'm not a stripper, but I do sugaring. I usually only do it once a month on my legs and arms and epilate in between that time. But I sugar my armpits and *ahem* weekly to keep it up (it's much more bearable when it's only a few hairs rather than a whole bunch!). I also make sure to keep myself exfoliated to avoid ingrowns. I make all my own stuff, so my soap is my homemade papaya and aspirin soap (for chemical exfoliation) with my exfoliating gloves (for physical exfoliation) and after an initial scrub, I'll use the gloves in the same way you would use a body brush (tips to heart). Makes you super smooth. I make sure to stay moisturized too. Again, I make my own stuff, so in the morning I use my olive and oatmeal body cream and my coconut shea whipped butter at night. Keeps me very very soft with glowing skin, no ingrowns, no hair (and no shaving!), and it's fun to make. Sugaring takes a bit of time to master, but once you do, I doubt you'll go back. Much easier clean up too since it dissolves in water!

Edit: Oh, I make my own sugar wax too. So if you want the recipe and how to do it, let me know. It's crazy cheap and easy to make, but you don't use it like regular wax.

I know they have sugar exfoliants, but do they sell sugar wax? A regular exfoliant isn't going to take the hair off, though following up with an exfoliant would probably also keep your legs pretty smooth.

I have nothing substantial to offer but have to say, I LOVE the title of this thread!

:laugh:

oh, I got this, I used to work with tons of strippers (srs). try shaving with lube... it's like magic. otherwise, as someone said, tend skin works great but it is pricey. I recommend the one with the roller.

eta: forgot to mention, they always said they DON'T use lotion because it makes their legs too slippery.

Not a stripper (mainly because I am fat. And would hurt myself on those shoes.) But I have started waxing my legs. Love it. Super smooth and less maintenance. Amazon has microwave roll on wax that also makes it easy and not so Damn messy.
