Waxing curiosity???

[Katura]

Is this the right place for this??? haha...

Okay...and I'm not talking about your eyebrows!

Lets go a bit more south.

Anyone get this professionally done? Just plain bikini or a full on brazilian?

I'm totally curious.

Any sweet at home methods?

Gimme some information/personal feedback!

Thanks <3

i get fully waxed every three weeks, it hurts a lot but i think that it's worth it.

i would suggest starting with the bikini, if you're comfortable and can tolerate the pain go for the gusto!

if you want a product to try at home i highly suggest a product called andrea's hard wax, it's made spefically for that area. you heat the wax in the microwave and appy to the hairy area with a little stick and then rip it off. there are no strips to deal with and the wax is not that sticky so it's easy to work with. when waxing down there you need to be super careful, make sure to pull the skin taught and pull in the opposite direction of the hair growth and do not pull straight up.

i would suggest going to a salon a few times before trying it yourself @ home though. make sure to pay close attention to the methods they uses and try to copy them once trying this at home.

also, after time the down there will become less coarse and waxing will become easier and less painful.

yep, i totally agree. plus it waaayy easier for someone else to do it for you because sometimes you need three hands. LOL i love performing waxing services, it's good money.

I get full on Brazillians. Well, I leave a landing strip, cause I am not about the pre-pubecent look, neither is my husband.

I used to get it done at a spa for about 75 bucks every 4-6 weeks, but I wasn't able to keep paying for the service, so now I buy the Sally Hanson home kit. I like that one the best, I find it the least painful.

It's very hard and messy to do at home by yourself. You need a partner.

Really, you need someone to do it for you. It's so much easier.

As of now, my husband waxes me. We have fun! He's not affraid of pulling off the wax. He is really good at it.

The more you go, the less painfull it becomes. There is less hair to rip out each time.

 

[Katura]

Neato.


So, I spose you've got to have, what? About 1/4 inch of hair to do anything like that done right???

Because now, I think Iv'e just got to do it.

 

[sewpunk]

yeah, I think a 1/4 is all you need. You can get away with a less length if you are using wax that doesn't require strips.

If it's your first time, try only your bikini area first, and work up to the full on Brazillian. I have also heard that taking a ibuprofin/aspirin about an hour before, cuts down on the pain.

I have also noticed certain times of your cycle will make it more painfull. I am not sure what part though.

 

[jessiekins1]

don't do it before your period (and obviously not during!) as the area tends to get a little more sensitive around that time. all you need is a 1/4" of growth and definately try a bikini then take off more hair everytime.

 

[Katura]

hmmm....well...I guess my guy will have to be on his own for a minute while i get prepared for this. hahaha...

 

[sewpunk]

Let us know how it goes?

 

[Katura]

Will do !

 

[NutMeg]

The week before and after your period hurts the most.... I've made that mistake before and it's not fun. Good luck!

 

[Katura]

Yea, that is getting in the way of this process hahaha...

and then I'm not a fan of stubble. if thats not too much info....so its going to be really tough...hahaha....

 

[dollbabybex]

i have a hollywood... and i tend to shave... i have waxed tho
im not v hairy down there anyway and i never let it get all stubbley
and id HATE having to wait for it to grow back....
id feel ugly

 

[Katura]

I know!!! I can't stand any stubble ever. That's why I though waxing would be good because it owuld keep it away longer. butthen, waiting to get it redone would be helll and a half!

bleh on body hair.

 

[dollbabybex]

if i was rich enough id have electrolosys (sp?) all over my body....
imagine never having to worry ever again .... bliss x

 

[midgetfury74]

make sure that when you bathe that you use a gentle exfoliant in the area so that you can avoid the pore cloggin which results in the ugly stubble & bumps. try to also clean with a VERY mild astringent for the same reason.

 

[gateauauxfraise]

I get brazillian every month but I'm so chickened out from the pain so I use EMLA cream (4% lidocaine cream). It's available without prescription but you have to ask your pharmacist. It's also sold in some spa.

I use it about 30-45 mins before my appointment, it really works for me, that's probably the only way I can get the waxing done. Oh, one more thing: if available buy the gel formula, the cream is ok, too but your waxer has to take it off (with warm towel) if not the wax won't cling as good. Good luck!

 

[Raerae]

lol yeh those numbing cream's are amazing for getting hair removal in sensitive places.

 

[queenofdisaster]

owwwwww i dont think i could do it for the life of me you brave brave souls

 

[martygreene]

I strongly suggest taking a look at this post for information on brazilian waxing, and also waxing/sugaring in general and choosing a salon for such services.
