Can you wax with duct tape?

I have really hairy legs and arm pits. I don't want to shave because it will grow back faster. So I looked around for some wax and it is so expensive! So I was thinking a cheaper alternative would be ripping the hair out with duct tape. Do you think it will work? Is this a good idea?

    Why don't you just go ahead and rip your skin off and get it over with? Because that's exactly what would happen if you used it as wax.

    If you're that worried about your body hair, raise the money to get a Wax Kit at Wal-Mart. It's not THAT expensive! If you're old enough to be this self conscious about something, you're old enough to be able to ask Mom and Dad for a few bucks or find a good way to get it!

    It's fine if you don't think it'll work, but every single answer has a reaction like "you're stupid" and that's not okay. Maybe it's not the most though out, but the purpose of asking was to get an answer, not to be called "too young to start waxing" - waxing is a personal decision that can be made as soon as you understand the pros and cons.

    C'mon people, didn't someone teach you manners?

    Lol.

    No. That's never going to work..you'll get out a few hairs if you're lucky. Good luck with that =P...

    You could try sugar waxing, it should be better since it only grabs hair and doesn't tug the skin. And not all wax is that expensive. Go to your local beauty store like Sally's or ask around at all the spas/salons are you, someone is bound to be cheaper when it comes to waxing.

    This will never work. Look online for other ways other then wax. They have these pad things out that you rub on legs that take off the hair.. It. Makes them smooth. I used it before.. I liked.

    I've acually tried that, it only takes out some hair. I used dollar store duct tape so that's probably why it only took out some.

    It depends if you pull it straight out and for those of you that say this will never work NOTHINGS IMPOSSIBLE!1
