Could not agree more, with the trend toward total body hairlessness, this article might hit the mark about the personal home machines becoming the hottest trend.

Over the past 12-months, we have seen two machines hit the market, both under $1000. They are the Tria and the Silk’n.

Here is an excerpt of this article:

Does anyone know a woman who wouldn’t want to trade shaving and waxing regularly for a few painless treatments that will leave her hairless with silky skin? Because the answer for most women is a resounding no, the hottest present for this holiday season may just be a home laser hair removal device that keeps you hairless in unwanted areas for the long-term. Until now, laser hair removal has been a luxury treatment offered by doctors, aestheticians, and spas for anywhere from $400 to $900 per treatment area and on average for $3000 per year if you were treating legs, bikini line, and underarms. Now, the same laser technology is finally available to use at home safely and the FDA has approved two home-use laser devices that deliver professional-level hair removal results in the privacy of your own home with minimal discomfort.

So what are users on YouTube saying about the above machines, here are a couple of videos:

It wasn’t the first thing most people noticed when they saw the posters of David Beckham modelling a new range of designer underpants. But once they had finished inspecting the xylophone stomach muscles, cooed at the snug fit of his briefs and imagined themselves as the object of his come-hither look, their eyes were drawn to the footballer’s upper and inner thighs. They looked awfully smooth. Had he … he hadn’t, had he? … done his bikini line?

No one could confirm yesterday whether the former England captain had been operating some kind of “border control” or whether it was airbrushing that kept his pants line neat. But if he had been doing some DIY, for once he is not starting a trend, but following it.

All over the country more and more men (gay and straight alike) are marching into beauty salons and demanding a “Boyzilian“, or as one Yorkshire-based salon bills it, “the Full Monty”. In other words, the complete or near-complete removal of hair in intimate areas using wax. If you have £120 to spare, you can even get it done in Harrods, in the Refinery spa.

Pubic hair removal has been the least discussed topics in the hair removal arena. With the latest trend of being hairless removal of pubic hair has found its new meaning.

Pubic hair has suddenly started loosing its privacy. With the introduction of latest products and the trend to remain hairless being the key, women of today are on the look out for products that can make them get rid of pubic hair. If you form part of the lot and want to join the new hairless brigade, you need not feel embarrassed. Instead, opt for one of the hair removal methods that suit you and just go for it.

Hair removal from the genital area is relatively new to modern Western Culture. In Australia, the practice of waxing or shaving the pubic area did not become common until the 1990s. In a study carried out by Basow and Braman, a large number of participants, who were randomly assigned to watch a video-recording of the same bikini-clad woman either with or without visible body hair, judged the woman as less attractive, intelligent, sociable, happy, and positive when hairy than when hairless.

The introduction of Brazilian wax brought a revolution in pubic hair removal. The Brazilian wax originated in Brazil for women wanting to wear the then-new thong bikinis.
