I found this recipe online:

Home Made Nads Hair Remover

Juice of 1/2 a lemon
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup honey

Dust the area you intend to remove hair with cornstarch first.
Mix the ingredients, and microwave it for 2 min. stir and microwave it for about 20-30 seconds more.

Let mixture cool until reaching a ((safe)) temperature .
"very warm"

Spread a thin strip of the mixture onto your leg using a wooden popsicle stick to spread it on.

((Very Important)) pull the skin tight in the area you are planning to remove hair from

Cover the "Nads" mixture with a strip of cotton fabric.

Rub the strip three times IN the direction of the hair growth

Let mixture cool down then pull the cotton strips
off in the OPPOSITE direction of your hair growth.

TIP#1;
Occasionally reheat the mixture for about 23 seconds in the microwave while using.

TIP#2;
The stretching & tightness of the skin when applying your cotton strips are ESSENTIALfor successful hair removal

Unless the hair is embarassingly thick, dark and on your top lip I would suggest you stop being dictated to by fashion and 'beauty' magazines and leave your body hair alone! If you think about it rationally you will find that the removal of female body hair, like men shaving, is dictated by social pressure and media driven fashion. It has nothing to do with health or natural beauty. Think for yourself and save money!

I found a recipe on the internet a few years ago for something called "Persian Sugar Wax". I don't remember the exact recipe, but I think it was 2 cups of sugar, 2 tablespoons of water and two tablespoons of lemon juice, boiled to the color of strong tea. If you do a search on the internet you can probably find the exact recipe. Then you use as any normal wax you buy in the store. I would recommend buying Sally Hansen's Ultra Sooth Skin Relief Lotion. It soothes your skin, and prevents the ugly red bumps.
