    Or perhaps a pair of tweezers and a lot of patience.
    .
    Seriously though, apart from shaving how about IPL. Not cheap but supposedly very effective.

    I've used IPL (Boots brand) and altho it is effective it takes time and patience + there are limitations. It can not be used on Black skins and it wont get rid of white/grey hairs. Other than that I love it. It's not permanent, once the hairs are gone (that can take weeks where the hairs look patchy) you'll need a weekly/bi-weekly top-up. I use it on my face, arm-pits, groin (not on the old ball-sac....far to painful!) and my awkward to shave knees. I dont use it on my legs purely because it takes far to long (the head of the device is about 2x1 inch). Combined with my epilator for arm and legs + razor for stubborn hairs that just wont bugger off with any other method I'm now super smooth all over! Enjoy the pain! lol

    Hi the best way i feel is waxing by an expert. The use of Perrin Rigot waxing beads makes it almost painless, and i would highly recommend it for your delicate bits,

    If you're in the Yorkshire area there's a discreet salon in Meanwood, Leeds that undertakes IPL at competitive rates. It's the Works Studio, 2 Authorpe Road, Meanwood, Leeds LS6 4JB. Call Rebecca or Sue on 07551 956116. I work with the studio a fair bit - mention my name and ask for discount!!
