Ladies - Brazilians

You don't grow grass on a playground.

*yes it hurts like a MOFO the first time you do it
*use breathing to help with the pain: breathe in when the wax is applied, when the strip is getting yanked off, breathe out
*I wax myself, I use a hard wax, and a hair waxing prep oil
*use aloe lotion afterwards

it is so uber liberating to be bare, and I feel 'cleaner'.

Never known a guy who did man-scaping...but have seen pics, and I do prefer that.

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

I'm going to try this!!! Thanks for sharing.

Im way excited about this little tidbit! thanks! Its one of the reasons I dont go back to the Brazilian thing. Well, that and the cost. I do not know how you ladies do it yourself!

I don't have the time or cash to even get my regular hair cut regularly let alone my kitkat waxed. However I've been bare for years now and there is nothing like it. But it's just me and my lady shick making it happen.

I get one every month and it doesn't hurt as much after a few visits. I personally must have a bad A waxer because there are only two strips that actually hurt. The rest is pretty much the same as a bikini wax.

Maybe I have high pain tolerance :-)

I've had laser done on my legs and it did feel like a sharp pinch or a rubberband pop to me. Maybe no one has ever popped you with a rubber band very hard, lol

OK- IMO totally worth it. It makes me feel sexy and smooth and CLEAN. Plus as a runner who is still a little more chubby, stubble from shaving hurts- like a lot- after 2-5 hours of running (I was marathon training). First time is a little em- Bare @ss-ing. You get used to that part at least. I thought "the back" was going to hurt the most- Not so. It's less painful than legs. The middle- which is the part that chafes when running for me- is a breeze. Upper inner thigh- NO BIGGIE after the first time. I swear half of it didn't come back. But *sigh* the front and top.... ouch. Most likely most women care about those the most since it is most exposed in a bathing suit. and yeah- you gotta breath through that pain. It's brief. But it hurts. To me I don't have her do it all- just shape a little and make sure nothing would hang out a bikini bottom. She takes a #2 clipper to it and we are good. I don't get ingrown hairs from it, it grows back finer and doesn't have the stubble feeling to it because the ends are soft. She does do it in small strips- while it takes longer I think it helps to make sure she pulls it in the right hair growth direction (which probably helps with the ingrowns). I am getting laser done in a week so I have had to only shave for the last month and being able to compare shaving to waxing recently- i would take waxing any day. I bought a groupon for laser at basically what it would've cost me to keep up waxing for a year- (Doing brazilian and underarms) I figure it's worth it if I never have to shave there again and only have to shave my legs. (To me leg waxing isn't worth it- Your leg hair grows at such different rates it never seems like they can get it all- doesn't get that really smooth feeling IMO). I wish I could laser that but my leg hair isn't dark enough...

Love them. It's one of my rewards for losing weight. And for me they're not that painful at all.

I'm an aesthetician and many clients prefer to get it done with hard wax because it's less painful compared to strip wax. The first time is always the worst but worth it! You'll notice I huge difference between waxing compared to shaving or using nair. Good luck!

I would rather do the laser removal therapy, it lasts longer and after multiple treatments... sometimes it won't come back.

Not my thing, uncomfortable with strangers that close to my body as well.

me too! LOL
