Waxing...down There.

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.

    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

  • Hell no! Epilady'ing my legs is painful enough. There is no way I'd attempt waxing down there myself! LOL.

  • 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 custo

Go to a wax place you never went to before and don't plan on going back to this way you don't have to worry ;)

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!
