I've never waxed down there as I'm too embarrassed to go. I know the waxer will be used to seeing every different shape and size, but I just can't bring myself to do it.

Anyone else have this issue? How did you get over it?

I think it's worse now as the skin on my thighs is much looser than it used to be.

I'm going to Hawaii next year, so I want to tidy things up.

I am pre. My date is January 11! I'm so excited' date=' as I'm sure you are, also. and a fellow cosmetologist!!

At least I didn't have to take all the class hours again. That's what they stated initially but I appealed and it worked out. Taking the tests was the easy part. But, it's amazing the "textbook" material you don't account for daily. But, I passed them first time through and was grateful. [/quote']

Thats true and yes very excited I can not wait. We will have to keep in touch since we will be in this together. Let the count down begin lol

I got a Brazilian before my wedding day 7 yrs ago and it was awesome (not the experience but the effect.). Getting my shuns waxed hurt worse than the Brazilian. The lady did not make me feel very comfortable but it was well worth it. I would love to surprise my husband with it for our anniversary cruise in May. Hopefully I won't be as embarrassed then as u would now.

Oh heck no. Nope. Never.

Brazillian is the way to go! I used to go every 4 weeks but after the hair stopped growing as quick, I moved to 5-6 weeks.

The hair must be at least 1/2" per my salon. If it is too long, then they will trim it. Also, some salons will offer some kind of cream to numb it a little. In my opinion, it wasn't worth it.

The first time, I was a bit skeptical but these ladies are professional. I love the outcome and I am thinking about adding my armpits to the regimen.

Oh, and wait 24hours before sex if possible. I believe my salon says no baths either for 24hrs (you can take a shower but don't scrub there)

Yes, Brazillian is great. I only go downtown if the streets are clean. But when it's clean, I'll take my time & enjoy the scenery

Oh no...not to you. Sugaring is great. I just meat any licensed esthetician using the amber colored honey wax to perform a bikini wax....well that's insane. Lol

I had that and it was a HORRIBLE experience. I had that with my very first wax and never went back. The other salon I went to used the strips and that would leave me raw and red down there, sex was definitely out of the question for a couple of days or at least till it scabbed over a little :/ I guess I will look into a salon that uses the blue wax, I'm gonna call around tomorrow.

OTR- that sounds exactly like what my husband would say lol.

Wax!!! It's the way to go!!!

Alright girls, I'm going to trust you and give it a try. Anything I need to know? I freaking hate shaving so I hope this is a better solution. Also anything I need to look out as far as salon cleanliness? Shouldn't they use a new stick every dip into the wax or something?

My suggestion for the first time is to find a nice spa on Yelp with good ratings. Don't go for the $35 chain places or nail salons for the first time. Spas are more relaxing and strive more on customer satisfaction than a salon where the prices are low.

My advice, be brave! You will feel so sexy! You will be glad you did it!!! If you find a good salon, the technician will e good enough that it doesn't hurt that bad. In my opinion waxing my eye brows feels exactly the same!

I'm not scared of the pain. I just worry about getting a rash or something. My skin is so sensitive, when I shave I get crazy bumps no matter how careful I am or what I use.

This is something I've wanted to do for a very long time bc I really hate shaving. I'm just so embarrassed by my fat poochy pubic area:-(

I've been waxing for years, I do it myself and have also been to a beauty therapist.

Find a good Beauty therapist, mine was an ex nurse - made me more comfortable!

It gets easier the more u do it and the results are fantastic. I'm currently experiencing a shrinking 'region' which is making it easier lol

At one stage I used to use an epilator...now if u can handle an epilator u can handle ANYTHING lol

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??
