Pubes, mono-brows and body hair. Some people keep it el natural and others try anything and everything to get rid of it... But have you ever heard of using BAT BLOOD on BABIES?! Yeah, us neither, but apparently it's a thing.

Did you know that certain cultures have strict age limits on hair removal, while others are more concerned about HOW it should be done? Exhibit A - Lem's mum waxed her leg hair, and on the flip side Nazanin's mother bleached her's instead. As if that was gonna make a difference.

Plus, the girls come to realise that neither of them were given the good ol' puberty chat. Did you miss out too?

If you had a traumatic, but yet funny story about your first shaving/waxing experience, please share it by emailing [email protected] or DM us on Instagram @becauseisaidso_podcast.
