Wax on wax off has been getting passed down for generations.

Ditto!!! lmfao

I wouldn't mind getting rid of it all - but I don't think I could wax. How about laser hair removal instead?

Laser hurts more than a wax. I've gotten laser done on my underarms and it's like one little shot of a laser at a time over and over and over again, and it HURTS LIKE A *kitten*! I get brazilians every few weeks and I've gotten to where it doesn't even phase me. I have chit chats with my waxer the whole time, 15 minutes, and I'm done!

Really?! I have had laser removal and it barely hurt at all for me! Although I am not bothered much by waxing either. Besides, having never to worry about expensive waxes and making appointments and hair growing back was sooo worth it.

It depends on the lasers used. There are some painless laser places BUT they can't guarantee that it's permanent. Ideal Image has the only lasers that they guarantee permanent hair removal, and they hurt like HELL. My best friend got painless laser done though, and her results are really good, but it's not the same guarantee. And laser can be REALLY insanely expensive, again, depending on the lasers used.

Yeah, but laser is a one-time thing, right? Do it and its gone for good? Or at least for years.

Waxing would have to be done over and over...

I have had laser treatments for my underarms, bikini line and legs and my bikini line waxed before- both hurt - but waxing is quicker and far less expensive. However, laser is permanent (sort of!) so I find it really worth it - plus you do not have to let your hair grow to get it done.

My question is: I thought the skin had to be taut to wax properly and to avoid bruising - how on earth do you do that with the testicles without a lot of yanking and pulling them around?

Also, a Brazilian wax means that there is bascially a narrow strip left - that would look really weird on a guy in my opinion. Manscaping - definately, brazilian - really not sure abut that.

Mine was the Tria at home laser (and yes it actually worked! but it does depend on the type of hair and skin tone you have). It was 300$ for the laser, but you can then remove all of your body hair yourself. Laser treatments are SOO expensive and I did get my very first session done with Ideal Image as well and it did hurt, but to me no more than waxing. But it was not worth the 200 bucks for one session. 300 dollars for the laser is the equivalent to about 5 waxing treatments (at least where I live, after tip they are about 70$). I definitely would recommend Tria to you if you have dark hair (it doesn't work on blonde hair).
Waxing still beats shaving any day, though.

Brazilian waxes are completely bald, no 'landing strip'.
And I have no idea about the testicles part.

Wax down there? NEGATRON BATMAN!!!! However, a well designed razor that I'm in control of is fine.

Manscapping is huge, i expect my girlz to be clean and hence why us dudes should return the favor

Perfect response!

This.

Waxing would have to be done over and over...

Laser is a few treatments and then typically about 90-95% of the hair is gone and never comes back.
it works best with certain hair and skin types. Dark, coarse, thick hair it works best on and lighter skin. They are working on the technology but as of right now, you can't be dark-skinned and get laser hair removal- the laser will burn you. It also won't usually work on blonde or light hair.

In my case I am fairly light skinned and have dark hair, so it worked and removed 99% of the hair and this was with using an at-home laser called the tria It did take quite a few sessions because an at home laser is far less powerful than the ones the use at the dermatologists.

I've actually thought about it, but I can't afford the tanker truck of wax that would be needed........

No, laser has to be done multiple times as well. My underarms required 9 treatments....still less than waxing, and at least it's permanent (depending on where you go or what lasers are used), but waxing for my bikini area is so much faster and easier to me.

LMAO!

A friend of mine has his done and claims it doesn't hurt at all.

I certainly like to keep the garden tidy, but it wouldn't look natural if it were stripped bare! :noway:

I'll stick with shaving for now.

now I have this horrible image in my head! Thanks a lot (NOT)

So glad my husband isn't into this.He's had to be bald before for surgery and I did not like that at all. The " in-between" stage is even worse! I like men, completely bald is just creepy and the happy fun trail just isn't as fun without it.
