    Here's something NOT to do: Back when Brazilians were the new "thing", I worked at a salon and they needed a guinea pig on which the aestheticians could practice. I had gotten waxed a thousand times before, so I was like, "Why not?" So there I am on the table, about 10 women all around me while the "expert" showed them how it was done. Then one of our girls tried on an area and kept going over it over & over & over. Talk about being raw! And if that wasn't bad enough, I went tanning afterwards. I tan naked. You can guess what happened. I walked as if I were riding a pony for a few days. They gave me zinc to put on it at work, but it hardly worked considering I probably had 2nd degree burns on my raw hoo-hah!

    Loves Brazillian on a woman.. whether it's shaved or waxed.. kills the rhythm of things when you have to stop to pull hairs off your tongue... sure the women agrees with that point where a guy is concerned also...

    Did I black out?! Or did that really just happen? Lol.

    It certainly doesn't feel GOOD or anything, but the end result is worth it!

    5 pounds lighter? Idk about that >.<

    Go for it, I love it and I know a lot of other woman that love it.
    You come out soooo smooth and it grows back nicer than when you shave.

    I happen to have a high pain tolerance....but before you go take an ibuprofen like half an hour before and it should help you with the pain.


    Have fun ;D

    Why exactly would this make you feel 5 lbs lighter? That is the craziest selling point I've ever heard for letting someone rip hair out of your skin.
    my thought, exactly.

    I have had a few. Make sure you go to a reputable waxer. You should definitely get a recommendation from a girl friend also.

    The last one I had put me off of them for the time being. She rushed through it which will cause more irritation and in-grown hairs (if you are prone to them).

    Make sure you wear no underwear after. Wear cotton pants/shorts. No jeans or pants with hard seams. It will be irritating. Also grab some lavender oil for the irritation.

    Aside from the ripping of the hair, which feels like its got roots going up to your eyeballs....The hot wax on the *kitten* is a nice distraction from the seering pain of your pink, naked, swollen, sometimes bleeding netherlands.

    Have a drink and/or take a couple ibuprofens before you go and make sure you have something nice planned for afterwards.

    It's not really that bad and it's an awesome feeling once it's done. As the waxer lady told me.. while it hurts like a mother initially.. the pain only lasts for 2-3 seconds at a time. Once I had that idea in my head it was pretty easy going...

    Listen up ladies!

    I'm here to share my amazing (little known I think) secret, and you will never have an ingrown hair again. Get ready for perfect bikini lines... guaranteed and way cheaper than all the crap that doesn't work that is supposed to.

    Buy spray antiperspirant/deodorant (I use Suave) and spray the first few days after you shave or wax.

    When I was in college I worked at a spa for 5 years and a stripper who was getting a bikini wax told me this secret lol. Been doing it ever since, and I swear I give myself brazilians (I have a Nudesse pot) and haven't had a bump in 10 years.

    Just make sure you don't buy a brand of deodorant that dries white or you won't look very hot on the beach :)

    Re: waxing your lady garden...

    In my experience it does hurt. You are getting hair ripped out, of course it will hurt! I find it's similar to getting my legs waxed. I get both done every 8 weeks. Have done for about 8 years.

    I'm naturally really blonde (and the curtains do match the drapes :wink: ) so I have very sparse, fine hair which is not really suitable for lasering.

    Because of the cost I have tried occasionally to shave instead but I can't handle the in-growns and the itchiness! And the fact it's not as smooth and grows back within a day. To me that's not worth it. I would rather go to a salon and not think about it for 8 weeks.

    As for guys, I once saw a guy (a life model) who had a waxed landing strip on his man garden. He also had fake tan. Not attractive in the slightest! I'd love my bf to get a wax but there is no way in hell he would ever agree to it! And it would probably look really weird. But I think the 'after dark' activities would be amazing because of it!

    My 2 cents :smile:

    it hurts a lot when it's happening but after its no big deal and the results are definitely worth it in my opinion. try it out and see if you can deal!

    I had my first one ever a few weeks ago (I wanted to be bathing suit ready for a cruise I was going on)......it hurt. Someone on here compared it to child birth but it's not that bad. Not even as bad as getting a tattoo. And I wasn't sore at all afterwards. I would definitely get one again :blushing:

    I get them done every 4 weeks. I go to a waxing salon that uses the purple wax that does not require strips, it hurts a lot less than regular hard wax. The first couple times were pretty painful, but I'm really used to it now! 15 minutes in and I'm donezo! Plus now what hair that does grow back is a LOT more sparse and finer, I'll NEVER go back to shaving!
