I have the same hairy issue. I checked into laser, but it didn’t seem to carry enough of a promise to warrant the price. So, after a lot of research, I decided to by a BRAUN epilator. It is freaking awesome! I bought the white & pink one for about $90 and have been using it for about 2 years. It’s worth every penny and is only painful and time consuming the first time you use it. I also used to shave in the evening and have stubble by morning. I now epilate every few days and there aren’t many hairs when I do. It probably took me 6 full hours the first time I used it (entire legs, forearms, underarms, bikini area) and now maybe takes a half hour. Something is really satisfying about yanking the root of the hairs out and knowing it could take weeks before they grow back!
