I get these pre-coated waxing strips from Veet. They work like a charm. I wax my lower back (okay, okay, I confess, my SO waxes my lower back, and he's very good at it too) every couple of months, and over time, the hair has grown in finer and finer--not thicker and coarser, as it would have done had I shaved. I also wax my upper lip with smaller strips, and wax in between my eyebrows from time to time to make the daily plucking of eyebrows easier.
