Which wax strips or hair removal cream should I use?

I really don't like shaving and I've heard waxings really painfull, does anyone have any advice on what to use for getting rid of leg hair?Which wax strips or hair removal cream should I use?
I don't like to shave either, but I find that it makes my legs silky smooth when I get out of the shower and apply a good moisturiser. I had my legs waxed at a salon and I was very unsatisfied. It was not so much the pain as the fact that they were not nearly as soft as when I shaved them with a razor that cost about 3 bucks. So, I paid $40 and a tip for something that was a huge waste of money. But, I did learn a lesson. Keep on shaving, it is the best value.Which wax strips or hair removal cream should I use?
VEET formally known as IMMAC is very good
Waxing your legs is not really all that painful. But it differs for everyone. I would give it a try, and if you find that it hurts too much for you, then try another method. But waxing will last much longer than using something like Veet, or Nair because it removes hair at the root. Nair and other similar products only remove the hair at the skin surface, and it grows back much more quickly. It can be done yourself quite easily, but you may want to have waxing done professionally the first time just to see what its like, and to learn how its properly done. If you do things like apply the wax too hot, or too thick, or even rip the muslin strip the wrong way, you can easily damage your skin, or bruise it. So, I feel that its best to have a pro do it for the first time. Then, if you do choose to do it at home, the best way is to invest in the proper supplies, such as a wax warmer, cans of wax, muslin strips, spatulas, and so on because they quality of wax available in tins is much better than what you can buy in a drugstore kit, and will work better too. Gigi makes some good products, and they are inexpensive too. Its cheaper in the long run to just invest in the proper equipment in the first place than it is to buy a drug store microwave, or whatever, kit each time. Check Sally Beauty, they have a good, inexpensive line of waxing products, and can help guide you in selecting what you need.
DO NOT USE NAIR IT STINKS AND STINGS YOUR SKIN VERY BADLY AND IT BURNED MY SKINN
Try Nair, it is affordable but has a slight stinging sensation. Make sure you wash your hands very well after applying. I use the sensitive skin Nair lotion so the sensation isn't as bad.
