My first home brazilian experience was awful. I'd never had it done before, used a hot wax (later learned how to do this correctly but it was sooo messy), globbed way too much on, spent two hours crying and picking it off, and still had to shave the next day anyhow. Ouch.
I went to a pro a few times, and now doing it at home is a breeze. I think partly because it kills off the nerves in your follicles so it hurts less every time.
I use the premade wax strips (a box of the small ones from Veet or nair is good) and do very small sections at a time. If you press real hard before ripping it up real fast (peel BACK not UP), it hurts much less. Hesitation kills. I do it on my armpits too... now I never have to shave!
Then I put something like Skin Tight ($) or Tend Skin ($$) on. Usually you can find it at the drug store or at a weave store. It soothes your skin and prevents ingrown hairs....it really works. I put it on zits too, lol.
