In order so far of most to least painful by my own experience. Other people may vary on this but this is my chart. You've been warned.....

1- Stomach

2- Genitals

3- Chest

4- Groin

5- Armpits

6- Nipples

7- Upper Leg

8- Lower Leg

9- Feet

10- Arms and Hands



Yes I've done it all and all the way, basically from the crotch area to the collar bone is the worst. I don't have back hair so I can't relate on that.

I tried waxing my arms. It was nice and smooth for a while then it came back with a lot of bumps.

I just did my stomach and chest. My GOD! The area inbetween the breasts was so painful, I had to stop.
I shaved it off and now I'm slowly plucking them out.
It was red for a week.

I have had a full body wax, neck to toes and everywhere in between. I found that the chest area was the most painful. I was surprised at how much less painful the experience was compared to my expectation. The result was spectacular an I look forward to my next one in February. I am overdue but am away from home. (winter home) for another 3 weeks. Sure beats shaving.

That's just it though once you start on an area you gotta go through with it, or the ending result is quite comical and them bothersome for a couple months.

Do you wax the face? I know it is very bad, but I pluck my facial hair. I do not have that much, but I dislike shaving since you can still see black specs of hair in the skin and it is not super smooth. I want to get laser hair removal soon.

Family heritage I'm very able to grow a full beard very quickly. In my senior year of high school my goatee rivaled James Hetfield's I could braid it. It grows so fast in basic training I was required to shave twice a day, I despirately need laser removal and waxing is out of the question.

You are totally right on belly hair being the worst. Oh my, the first time I pulled that out, I literally bled.

I epilate and yes, the belly sucks more than anything. Who'd've thunk it?

Laser is wonderful. Sadly I got a late start and still have some stray grays. D'oh! At least they do not cause a shadow.

I am fortunate in that my genetics dont give me a ton of facial or body hair, but I would say that the face is the worst by far. Hairs there are rooted more deeply and packed so tightly together, that in my experience, nothing else compares. The stretch of neck just under my chin and the small area just under my nose are particularly bad.

I wax my arms because I have a hard enough time shaving and I can't imagine shaving with my non-dominant arm (arms can't shave themselfs). It lasts a good while too and I am happy with he results personally.

I was waxed a long time ago but it turns out that I am relitively pain resistant so I found that my chest and tummy didn't hurt overly much at all. It's the bikini line was the worst for me.

I just bought a cup of Tepid wax by Veet... I have used wax before but I am a dork, I was waxing my legs but I was tired and it was taking sooo long so I put it back onto the bag but didn't put the top on it...and next day, I was going to finish but all the had wax poured onto the bag and it freezed lol, it was all sticky, eeew. I had to throw it away. That was 7,99£ lost. But anyway, be careful with wax. It does hurt if it's too hot and it could burn your skin. Mine had a spatula which is meant to show if you can use it or not if it's too hot, it says "yes" or "no", so yeah... It said no and I used it anyway. LOL big mistake. So, be careful. But really wax is so much better, I can't wait to use mine. I just bought it with the help of my dear friend because my mom won't buy it even though she knows I do hair removal for, like, um, forever. Yeah, my mom is my biggest supporter. Jk. I would love to have a better relationship with my mom and that we were daughter and mom BFFs but...that won't happen for long. Wow, sorry for the rant, this all in name of wax lol

I use the strips.

I have the strips but they don't work the best for thick and longer body hair. I'm pretty sure though that once I'm all done again that what grows back if I get on it in time the strips will work.
