Waxing...down There.



Recommended Posts

Here's another question. My skin is loose in that area. I'm worried about my skin being loose or thin. Any thoughts on how waxing effects that??

Ask if they can use a numbing gel. My vsg reward is brazil south of the border. I have a friend that is an aestician. One of her techs does trannys, crossdressers and so on. They have seen it all. Five treatmens...done. Maybe an occasional touch up. I live in arizona and its cooler 'down there'. I got yeast inf. from sweating.

When I was bigger around 325lbs I had a horrid experience with waxing, I went to this place local to me big big salon does everything booked a full leg hollywood and underarms waxing.
This woman pulled faces at me didn’t want to touch my fat it was a lot of fingertip touching with a grimace on her face she had gloves on and trust me I wasn’t a stinky slob for her to be so clearly disgusted with me!
I felt so awful after that she made me feel sub human and like I was disgusting.
Needless to say I never went there again instead i called around a few places and asked did they deal with very large overweight woman and were they comfortable with them.
One place answered in a manner than tipped my yes them bell.
Went for the same full on waxing and the lady was great told me her partner was a very big man and she knows how people look at him.
Shes who I have gone to ever since.
I don’t think waxing is that painful the ankles yes and when they press on the pelvic mound holy bladder pressure but yeah I find it a breeze.
Now self waxing I just can not do my own!
A repore with someone looking at your body does help a lot!

I try and go atleast once every 3 months. I hate not being waxed down there. I like the smooth feeling of it.

I'll chime in: I got waxed for many many years -- the full Brazilian.

Then, I realized for the amount of money I was spending every couple of months, over several years...well laser just made more financial sense! It is expensive but when you do the math on what you spend on waxing...

I had 6 laser treatments, and now I'll never never have to do it again! The hair is gone forever!

I absolutely LOVE it!

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
