Getting a Brazilian wax???

[ClaireAvril]

i've gone to the spa and done this.. it hurts, but i just get over it. I just deal with the pain until its over. When you go often enough you get used to it

I have had two and after that decided that he was just going to have to like me au naturalle. Too expensive, too high maintenance, and too much owwie! Good luck!!

hey there im an esthetician, and i agree with everything the other girls said.. definetly take a couple ibuprofen and hour before to ease pain, and dont go right before your period. It definetly hurts the first time but the second time only hurts half as much and gets better and better with each time.

I took 2 ibuprofen before I had mine done and they didn't do f*** all!!!! It was painful and I winced and squirmed and I've not had one done since!!

I'm still procrastinating over getting a brazilian. I've only professionally had my eye brows waxed, but I've used at home wax strips before on my legs and upper thighs. I didn't find it to hurt, i actually quite liked the feeling lol... i'm strange.

My biggest thing is finding some where I'll be comfortable, i'm in a small town and would rather not get it done here.

A Brazilian is definitely the way to go. All the time saved from not shaving.

My only warning is ingrown hairs. Despite going to reputable aestheticians, getting waxed pretty regularly, and using Tend Skin, I inevitably get them. Some aestheticians have removed them for me; some haven't.

Also, I have extremely sensitive skin, so the redness lasts for about three days. Just keep that in mind if you plan on being in a bathing suit, etc., soon after. I'm prone to dry skin, which is hard to hide with a Brazilian, so I use Johnson & Johnson Baby Oil.

I'd go for it.....i got brazilian lazer hair removal.....took 1 year, $800 and the worst pain ive ever felt....but no hair removal down there needed for the rest of my life

Kind of off topic and I've been wondering

Would any of you ladies be willing to let a guy do your Brazilian wax? just something that's been skipping through my mind o-o

 

[Kayteuk]

I would let a guy do mine

I just did my wax with a BIG bottle of wine and some popcorn.............Oh and I had some jeff dunham on for giggles

 

[MissResha]

i dunno if i have the balls to do this. i prefer pleasure in that area, not pain

^^^^^ Riiiiiiiight.

I have gotten a Brazilian maybe 2-3 times in my life. I might not do it again...its something I do on occasion. I have 2 piercings and 3 tattoos....I think the Brazilian may have been the most painful out of all of them.

:no: It effing HURTS. Ugh...

I get them regularly, and like everyone says, it never hurt as much as the first time.

To me, it didnt hurt that much the first time, I think it had more to do with being nervous and a little anxious..and well, being so exposed.

I think it only hurts a lot when they first pull it out. Its pretty intense pain, but it goes away in literally 3 seconds (for me anyway)

Also, there are some places that have a numbing cream. Its supposed to numb like 70%.

what i like to do is take advil 15 minutes prior to the waxing, bring in my blackberry to listen to some music and let it happen... make sure you BREATHE! dont hold your breath in, sometimes people forget to take another breath and makes the experience more anxious than necessary

One bad thing about Brazilian wax is while it lasts as much as 3 weeks, the hair will grow back and you'll have to do it again.
