Advantages: Results last a long time :)

Disadvantages: Painful!

Before my holidays a couple of years ago, I decided to get my legs professionally waxed so that I wouldn't have to keep shaving them every day I was on holiday. What an experience that was!

I'm the not the best person with pain, I'm a pretty big wimp as most people would tell you, so encouraged by my nan, I decided to put up with it and go through with it.

The lady spread warm runny wax over small parts of my leg with a wooden spatula, then smoothed over a fabric strip and ripped it off. OUCH!
Despite not wanting her to continue, I grinned and beared it!

When I got home, I noticed my legs were all spotty! But this was normal (apparantly! :p), and lasted a couple of days!

On my holidays my legs stayed hair free, so it was definitely worth it!

Since then, I've tried home waxing kits, such as a wax that you heat up in the microwave, spread it on and it dries on you, so there's no need for strips. This was the most useful I've found, but definitely the most painful too, as it gets right to the root of the hair!
I've also tried the already made strips, that you just warm up between your hands, rub onto the area, then rip off, but I found that these didn't quite get all the hairs.

It's a painful way to get rid of unwanted hair, but it does last 2-3 weeks, so is perfect for holidays, or even general use!

Summary: An excellent way to get rid of unwanted hair :)
