yeah my first brazillian... thats right i just skipped getting bikini so as soon as i was old enough i just started w brazillian it was painful!!!! but my waxer was quick. she was done in 10 mins. she told me to prevent ingrowns i should buy sweet almond oil (from the drug store) and apply it while in the shower. i've never had ingrowns. maybe one my whole brazillian waxing days (3 years)
but since moving to university i went into this place and they did sugaring. i thought it was like sugar wax but it was completely different and hurt a lot less. i never gotten ingrown from that either and didn't have to use the almond oil. however my friend had really REALLY bad ingrown. so i guess its depending on the type of hair and skin u have.

I love Brazilian waxing
I get it done every 3-4 weeks depending on the regrowth.. and it hurts! sometimes less than others but in general, its sensitive there in all cases.
as for ingrowns.. I've never had any ingrowns in the area.. you should use a light exfoliant every once in a while if you are not in the habbit of doing so.. it makes the skin softer and hair gets out easier rather than having a thicker skin where hair struggles to get through.. and avoid shaving if you don't want ingrowns! shaving is evil
if you get into the habbit of exfoliating and scrubbing, you'll avoid those ingrowns all over your body.
also.. as a general advice.. don't get a brazilian close before or after the time of the month.. it hurts 100% more (try getting a regular wax close to your TOM and you'll know what I'm talking about!)..
if you have any more questions, lemme know ^_^ I've become a brazilian wax expert since I started getting them done years ago

Um yeah...just got my first one and I almost passed out it was so bad. I thought it was way worse than getting a tattoo also. My friend did it at the same time and she said it wasn't that bad. So, maybe it depends on the person and how sensitive you are down there. It also might depend on the person who does the waxing.

i'm a little confused. whats a brazilian? from my understanding.. some sort of hair removal from down there? what makes it a brazilian? lol i've only been shaving but i really hate it and i don't know what else i can really do about it. i've never really waxed either. i hateee pubic hair... hate it hate it even though no one sees it lol
maybe a little offtopic but i also shave my underarms. should i wax them instead? my underarm skin is soo bad now. its blotchy and bumpy i don't know what to do!
sorry for all the questions! please explain to me, i'm young and stupid

Brazilian makes your pubic area look like a landing strip for an airplane. Is that correct?
Now, what position are you in to do this? Can you cover up the main landing site? You know what I mean (aka vg)

sparklingwaves - some places use disposable paper g strings that the client can wear (some places make this mandatory) to enable them to cover up a bit.

ive been using an epilator on my legs for the past year or so and ive suffered really badly with ingrown hairs so im hoping for better results with waxing and frequent exfoliation!

i do my bikini area at home with sally hansens euro pre-waxed strip kit, it works REALLY good and its cheap, 1 box gives me about 7-8 waxes, i take off everything except an area on the front with it. it doesnt hurt me too much either, i actually enjoy doing it which is odd haha. i use baby powder and bikini zone pads for after-care and i never get any irritation. my first wax i bled a little, but that is normal. after the 1st time it got easier and easier.
im not comfortable having another person do it. don't be afriad of doing it at home if ur shy. if ur shy ull be relaxed alone at home, and the more relaxed u are, the less pain u'll feel.

I've been interested in getting my bikini line waxed, I don't actually mind a bit of hair but I hate hair at the sides, if that makes sense lol.
I'm a big chicken though, too scared of the pain, i've never even had my legs waxed

i thought id update you all on how it went. it was no where near as bad as i thought it was going to be! i got to wear disposable knickers but to be honest they just got in the way. i had to hold my skin taut (sp?) whilst holding the knickers in place which was more of an effort than it was worth. it didnt take that long (about 40mins for full leg, underarms and brazilian wax) and she gave me some tea tree lotion to use at home on the areas that were red. the only thing i would say is be careful is you've got sensitive skin. my skin is extremely sensitive and when i got home from being waxed yesterday i noticed ive got a big bruise on my bikini line :-S
it did hurt but not as bad as i thought it was going to be, it only hurts for a couple of seconds. if ur considering getting a brazilian id say go for it!

I've had leg waxes since i was 11 and brazilian since 16. I'm middle eastern though, so it sort of comes with the territory. I'm 18 now and i wouldn't describe the waxing sensation as painful, more intense. I love the smoothness of the results ha, but it only ever lasts like two weeks for me
