Yes it hurts like hell.0

Haven't you seen the 40 Year Old Virgin ???? Looks like it hurts like a MFer ....0

I dunno. I went with laser hair removal.0
-
Actually, I've only had it done once, and I'm usually a baby about things but I didn't think it was that bad! I think it was because everyone had built it up to be so horrible, so when I actually got it done I was pleasantly surprised haha!0
-
It hurts pretty bad the first time, but after that it gets easier as long as you don't shave in between.0
-
Yes it hurts like hell.
This. But the results are totally worth it. take some advil first, and don't doing it around TOM because you're more sensitive then. Get the strips you just have to heat between your hands--they work awesome and are less messy. Good luck!0 -
Depends what you are getting waxed. Eyebrows, not so much. Armpits, ouch. Further south...OUCH.0
-
Yes it hurts, some folks build up a pain tolerance and resistance to the pain. Not me...
Not a simple task by any means...0 -
i wanted to wax then i had a bad dream that i pulled my skin off so no waxing for me :ohwell:0
-
My girlfriend orders the numbing cream each time. And it is also expensive...0
-
Iheard my sister scream at the end of the room when she was waxing. that was enough for me0
-
It depends on what you're waxing. The more tender the skin, the worse it hurts.0

AHHHH KELLY CLARKSON!!!!!!0 -
Most girls I know do laser hair removal. However, they say that hurts pretty bad too.0
-
I only wax my eyebrows.
I've waxed other people, but have never had myself wax. I'm too scared lol.0 -

Seconded! But TOTALLY worth it IMHO. Also, some areas are more sensitive than others. On a pain scale, I would rate:
Brazillian: 9, 10 on the pelvic bone (OMG, not fun)
Under Arm: 7
Legs: 3 (because I did it after the brazillian, it was a cakewalk lol)0 -
nair, works like a charm,i'm not kidding0
-
I'm just trying to figure out if dealing with the pain would be worth the end result. I figure i can start doing it now and get use to it, hopefully. I would be getting it professionally done, since there is no way in hell i could "pull the trigger" lol0

a 9 or 10?!??!??!?!? F-me!0 -
Skip the wax and go for laser hair removal. It's well worth every penny. Huge value when you factor in the pain and convenience of it.0
-
The first time hurts and then it lessens each time until its more pressure than pain - but I wouldn't recommend going in the week before your period as I have found this makes it a lot more painful, the week after is the most painless.0
-
I get my eyebrows waxed regularly and it only hurts for a second or two, but ive had other bits of me waxed when i was bored and needed a little pick me up.... NEVER AGAIN!0

Whatever you decide to use, DO NOT USE THIS STUFF:

It's a link to the Veet for men reviews on Amazon, some of them are fairly eye-watering to say the least

Yes, it hurts. What are you planning on getting done and for what occasion? I get my eye brows waxed once a month, I used to get more done but I just started doing laser hair removal instead. It's pretty amazing actually and doesn't hurt much. You will save money in the long run with laser.0 -

^this^
I only have my eye brows waxed though. My left brow actually hurts more & also it can hurt more during TOM. But it's a quick pain that goes away less than a minute.0 -
I'm a beautician and yes it really hurts! but well worth it. Obviously I cant recommend this to my clients but I have a couple of paracetamol or ibuprofen an hour before I get waxed and sit with a glass of wine while its being done to take the edge of the pain :P
Different areas hurt more. Rule of thumb I say Its legs, eyebrows, bikini line then underarms are the worst!0 -

Okay, I'll qualify that by saying it was my TOM, so my pain was increased. Plus, it was my first time, and them roots go deep. It gets less painful the more you do it, trust me!
Plus, the pain only lasts a minute. Not gonna lie, it sucks, but again, very worthwhile!0 -
Legs are not fun but not particularly bad. I tried a 1" square on my nether regions ONCE. Never again. I'm getting that lasered. Lasering takes longer but it hurts less and after 2 years of going every 8 weeks, it will be done.0
-
I wax my car sometimes, it doesn't really hurt, but if I do it vigorously enough I might feel a little sore afterwards.
Hope the comic relief numbs the virtual pain I feel after reading all these posts. WHY am I reading it? Good question.0 -
i won't lie, it hurts but it's not unbearable. take a few advil 45 minutes before and make sure you go to someone who knows what they are doing. Over the years, i've used a number of different places and i have found that EUROPEAN WAX CENTERS are the least painful.... (and most sanitary) . the pain is minimal... Kind of like a paper cut... it stings for a few seconds and then it's gone. they are all over the place now so just google for the closest one to you...0
