Does she or doesn't she? Only her waxer knows for sure ...

I ask because I've been toying with the laser idea, too. It's not so much the time wasted waxing, for me, it is that anything that involves regrowth is ultimately unsatisfactory, and I'm pretty sure that, fashions changing as they might, I won't miss anything that isn't covered by a g-string. It would be nice to be relieved of the "smooth, stubble, smooth" cycle. Sort of defeats the purpose, about 1/2 the time.
Then again, I tend to be somewhat of a DIY girl, and I've also been vaguely considering an at-home electrolysis kit, but the idea of riding sparky in an embarrasing position in my own bathroom mitigates against.

electrolysis is pain, one hair at a time, and you have to zap them each several times to get them completely gone. I don't think I could inflict that kind of pain on myself. ETA And I'm saying that even though I find waxing/tweezing hairs from my ankles far more painful than waxing/tweezing hairs from the bikini line, and I have used the Braun epilady-esque rotating tweezer machine on my ankles. Electrolysis HURTS. But it is actually permanent, eventually, which is nice.
I have heard that the zapping is much more effective with darker hair/lighter skin. The sister of the woman who did my last-but-one bikini wax had it done and really likes it. The woman who did the waxing also alerted me to the existence of TendSkin to deal with bumps/ingrowns, and I LOVE it. I bought a bottle at an actual store, but then when I looked on Amazon there was some other product that people seemed to prefer, so I got a bottle of that to use when the TendSkin runs out.
That is all I have to say on unwanted hair for the moment.
