Hi, my oldest is 3 months away from being 13. Unfortunately she has my colouring, almost black hair and quite a lot of it! Her legs are very hairy and so we have been 'veeting' for about 9 months as she does various sports in a mixed school. I so remember my Mum not letting me shave or remove hair in any way until I was 15 and I had to bleach them, it was miserable! Veet is a real faff and doesn't remove all hair. But, 12 seems to young too and also its the start of something she'd have to do every 5 days or so.
I have an epilady now and she has tried it but, she's right, it doesn't remove every hair without spending an age at it.
