The more you go the less it hurts. Personally, it never hurt me. I get my brazillian "cleaned up" every 6 weeks.
Bikini waxing...Brazilians in particular?

I am an Esthetician and I do bikini waxing and it is very common, especially for your first time, to get irritated, bumpy and even red. Exfoliate in the shower and over a short time any ingrown hairs will get better. Usually after a few days or so the bumps go down on their own. Some Estheticians or stores sell lotion or gel for after shaving/waxing bumps and they usually help pretty well. Be patient and keep up with the waxing, you will get used to it and the bumps will continue to get less and less. It's your first time and your skin is just irritated. Good luck!!

No, the only way it could be true is because it is so hot that it actually numbs you. Too hot isn't good especially in sensitive places. If it feels too hot let her know because you could end up with burns or scabs! It should just feel pretty warm. Cold wax can pull up skin which also will not feel so good. It may be a little painful for your first time but as you keep up with it your skin gets used to it. Good luck!

Thanks so much for all your help
Can you tell me if a brazillian wax (with a small strip) would hurt ALOT more than a regular bikkini wax? When I got it done I got a little more off the sides than a usual bikkini line but not enough for it to be a Brazillian. Im considering now going for a full-on Brazillian but am kinda scared!
Any help would be much appriciated

no ALOT more, but it will be more uncomfortable since you're getting into more sensitive skin.
since you've gotten the sides done, next time try just the landing strip. then, if that's not too painful for ya, go for the full thing. slowly inch your way in till you've got nothing left. work at your own pace and pain level.

YES! I have this issue too with the itchy lol. My waxer recommended me witchhazel gel (works really good) and also a shaving gel by Dermalogica for the bikini line and more intimate areas which is good aswell. THe only reason it's itchy is because the hair is so much coarser for middle easterners/mediterraneans as u probably know
Can i ask, when u say "stomach" could u explain precisely what you mean - like which area? the entire stomach, or the part under the belly button?

Anyone else have this issue? I'm thinking of going back to shaving my legs because I never had that issue. |

I don't know about her....but Ihave hair on my stomach that I used to shave. its not thick, its really fine but its dark
I just started waxing it. not my entire stomach, but almost. above the belly button, under it, the sides of it, etc. Waxing it doesnt hurt at all...and it lasts a week as shaving only lasts me like a day.

I also have the fine dark hair on my belly, so when i wax my lower back area (yeh ,eugh ,i know) or under the belly button it looks ridiculous because you end up with these light and dark patches, and the same for if you get a brazilian .. my stomach looks a bit weird in comparison. I always thought my waxer would be like "what the hell" if i asked for my stomach haha

Ok -- this is probably a really stupid question, but for the ladies that wax, what do you do when you're waiting for the hair to grow out in between waxes!?!?
I've always wanted to start waxing in instead of shaving, but I don't understand how you're supposed to let the hair grow out long enough. I shave my legs, armpits, and entire bikini area (totally bare) every single morning when I shower. If I want to start waxing, does this mean that I have to walk around in long sleeve shirts, pants, and stop wearing a bathing suit to let everything grow out?! What do you do in between waxes if you got to the beach, or out to a club or want to be "intimate?" I just don't think I could stop shaving -- even for a day!!

lol they see it all! I work in a salon and thought itd be weird having the esthetician see me doggy style while she waxed my crack (yeaaaaa awkward much?) but it wasn't bad. they see everything....i wish i could wax my entire body. n girl...forget about my back it would take a whole afternoon. lol i gave up
Quote:
ugh....honestly. i just let it grow out. im not the kind of person that has to be 100% hair free all the time. That would take so much time energy and money....I would literally be in the waxing room once or twice a week. Plus my hair grows back fast. So a brazilian for me lasts 2 weeks. I could probably get waxed again like 2 1/2 weeks later. but honestly, i get waxed occasionally and I shave occasionally, because its so time consuming, painful and expensive. I just don't feel like dealing with it.
But I also dont wear bikinis. And I shave when im gonna get intimate. so im not much help lmao

My gosh, it's so comforting to hear it from someone else lol. I go through them drama queen "i'm the only one" stages so often. But the back is too much..during those (as u put it) intimate times, i always think to myself 'really you're leaving your back like that for your man' but i never do anything about it. Then i think...does he notice? He's never said anything, so yknow maybe he finds it hot
