If 10,000 LA Biters get their legs waxed instead of shaving in a full bath tub once a week, in a year we'll save enough water to fill 52 Olympic-size swimming pools.

Inspired by a Seinfeld episode in which George is shamed for double dipping, research at Clemson University found that the famous line, "That's like putting your whole mouth in the dip!", wasn't too far off.

Double Dipping

The Bite

Is your waxer a double-dipper? If they're sticking the same stick into the pot (ahem, the one with the wax, people) after slathering your nethers, they are. Get Waxed keeps it clean with always-fresh supplies, chem-free organic honey wax, and eco-friendly digs - including bright-blue, low-VOC (nontoxic) paint and energy-efficient lighting. And GW's estheticians won't put you on all fours or in other humiliating positions when waxin' your front and backside in the Brazilian Plus. We're not gonna lie, it still hurts, but it's the fastest wax on, wax off we've ever had, and we left totally bump-free. Come back for seconds...without the double dip.

Wanna Try

Get Waxed, 304 Westminster Ave. at Abbot Kinney Blvd. (310-396-2929). Brazilian Plus, $55.
