question for anyone who gets waxed regularly ...
Options
i have a few questions, maybe someone can help. (and yes, laser removal will be down the line, but right now, that's not possible)
I get a regular brazilian through spring/summer every year, but i'm running into a few issues ..
~ timing of maintenance ... how often do you get it redone? I've been doing it every six weeks and it sucks. first 2 weeks are great. next two weeks is stubly, last two weeks of growout sucks. is it possible to get it down when its shorter? or does it really need such a growout? while waxed is awesome, shaving does keep it smoother, although you have to do it everyday. but at least you wno't have 4 weeks of grow out
~ year round? ... do you think i'm screwing up all the long term benefits of waxing by only doing it 6 months out of every year?

Oh my, I figured I should write something since there are little pervs on here. haha. I do not regularly wax but I do regularly shave and feel waxing has more benefits. Consult your esthetician and see if you can go in more often, maybe once every 4-5 weeks.0

i could never do waxing. I did however get the laser hair removal. It hurts probably 10x worse. It also takes anywhere from 6 to 8 treatments for the hair to be gone and it does require a little bit of up keep in the years to come. The good news is its not that expensive!!! Look on your local website for half off coupons for your local hair removal locations. Mine has them all the time. I got a 1,000 treatment for 500. Add up the cost of your waxing each summer and its probably not too far off. That is, assuming the cost is what is holding you back. Just wanted to share my opinion.0

I would say every 4-5 weeks between waxing works just fine. I am not sure that waiting months between visits would make that much of a difference. It might hurt just as bad as the first time when you get back to having it done, but you can do stuff to alleviate some of the pain. The hair should be around 1/4 inch long, take some ibuprofen 30 minutes before hand, go soon after the start of your menstrual cycle and go to someone who knows what they are going.0

I may have to try this for the summer and let y'all know how it goes. I'm sure it's not nearly as painful as natural childbirth.0

I waxed - not Brazilian - for 10+ years without ibuprofen or other pain meds. Get a good practitioner who holds the skin taught during and applies gentle pressure immediately after pulling the wax. Followed by cold compresses for a good half hour.
Supposedly the growth gets lighter in volume as you wax more consistently - the follicles get damaged and quit producing hair.
And it's a cake walk compared to natural childbirth.0 -
Why does having pubic hair worry you so much that you have to go through a painful and worrying process to have it artificially removed?0

I think it's probably better to go year round if you can. I know it can get expensive though. I'm one of those summer time waxers as well. As far as time goes, I'd talk to your waxer about it. I remember being told the best length once before but can't remember what it was.0

I get waxed every 4 - 5 weeks and year round. I find that every 4 weeks keeps it from getting too unruly, and makes it less painful. . .0
