Is There Too Much Pressure on Women To Rid of Body Hair?

Bliss is known for their clever/funny/cute names for their treatments (a Best Of Skintentions facial) and products (Fat Girl Slim cellulite cream). Their latest is a publicity stunt right outside our offices: We walked through day two of their "Gorilla" marketing promotion-complete with guys in actual gorilla suits-for waxing offers and free product samples. Yeah, we laughed (and felt bad for whoever was in the costume.) Then we started thinking about the body hair waxing phenomenon in general; Bliss calls it "waging war against unwanted hair." Does waxing make you feel better about your body, or is there too much pressure on women to wax it all off?

If your answer to the latter part of that question is no, then wax away with faster, better hair removal techniques!
