:: Bliss Fuzz Off Foam, £26 (blissworld.co.uk)
"I liked the texture of this mousse, which wasn't as slippery as other hair-removal creams I've used in the past. It was quick and easy to use, the whole process only took 10 minutes, but there were a few hairy patches left on my legs when I'd finished and the usual depilatory cream scent lingered."

:: Nair Argan Oil Salon Divine Body Wax, £11.99 (uperdrug.com)
"Once I'd figured out the right amount of product to spread on, this wax was effective and easy to use, because you just pull the wax strips straight off. Of course, no waxing is totally painless, but it's so much cheaper doing it at home than going to the salon, so I'll happily use this again on my bikini line."
4/5
:: Wilkinson Hydro Silk Bikini Razor, currently reduced to £7 from £14.99 (boots.com)
"The moisturising cream which was released on contact with water at the razor end meant a nick-free shave, but it was the bikini-line trimmer at the other end that sold this product to me. It won't replace a trip to the salon pre-holiday, but for a quick tidy-up, it's effective."

:: WHAT IS IT?
A stretchy pocket belt to store on-the-go essentials during exercise, such as house keys, phone, MP3 player. Available in nine colours, five sizes.
:: WHAT'S IT LIKE?
Couldn't be simpler to use. Has a tubular design so it acts as one big pocket, with slits where you can tuck the items you want to carry. There's a clip attachment, so you can attach keys securely. Once your items are in, flip the belt over so that nothing can fall out. The soft spandex-Lycra blend fabric is light and comfy, and the size range means you can choose whether you want a belt that sits high on your waist or lower on your hips. You'll want one that's not too tight but fits quite snugly so nothing's jangling around. Great for long walks as well as runs.
:: Flipbelts £25 each (theflipbelt.co.uk).
