It doesn't hurt that much once you get used to it, but there are just certain spots. Like the ankles. O.O DAMN THEM ANKLES. You put the strip down and then you're in for a whole lot of "why why why why why" as you regret your actions. Eventually it turns into hatred of all hair. I don't need hair! Except the hair on my head! And I'm not talking about that stupid looking almost-moustache crap that sometimes pops up >:(
