How to remove hair neatly

It is the tail end of summer, and I’ve decided to go on a trip this Saturday. Honestly, I can’t do anything about my arm hair, but I’m self-conscious about my leg hair. Shaving is quick, but it stings, and plucking with tweezers causes pain. Hair removal cream doesn't seem to work cleanly. I've heard there are waxing products; what do you think of those?
