Has anyone here tried a Brazilian bikini wax? How painful and embarassing is it?

Good question ! I did not get it done yet. I AM on Monday . I thought it would be best to WAIT until after I Walked in my 5K Race Tomorrow ! LOL

So im doing it Monday FOR SURE !

Mindy

Yeah, that's probably a good idea, lol! Let us know how it turns out (both the race and the waxing). :biggrin:

i sure will ! Hopefully i make it through the whole thing . Both of them ! LOL

mindy

Those of you who have had Brazilians, how long does the hair have to be when you get it done? Does it hurt more if it is longer?

Lauren, It hurts worse if your groomed "too short". I've found a little length, adhears to the wax and comes off faster. And faster is what you want! The lady that does mine suggests I dont' groom at all, she'll take care of any unwanted hair - and she does Just that. You'd think she were performing open heart surgery how she gets up close & personal and gets every unwanted bit of hair. Good luck - Mindy u Too!!

I was really considering having this done until...... I was watching "the real housewives of orange county" on bravo. One of the wives took her assistant into a spa for some "grooming" lots of screams were coming out of the room she was in. I'm thinking VEET might work.

Yea.....Thats going be coltonwade (Mindy) come Monday; just like what we saw on Housewives of Orange County. lol

The housewives thing was friggin hilarious lol

I was at my regular spa one day, getting nails done, when one of the girls was "missing", I asked where she was, and was told she was doing a Briz' waxing, well a few minutes later, out walks this GUY!

After he left, I said, WTF? They said, he comes in once a month and gets EVERYTHING waxed, even his butt hole. OK, so now my mouth is hanging open and I'm asking for details on how this is done. They laughed and explained, one holds the cheek to the side and the other waxes, then they switch sides. I'm like..girls, that's beyond the call of duty, they said it's just a job!

I told them if I got the nerve to do the Braz, I was demanding new wax, they said they don't double dip, WHATEVER, lol.

HarleyNana....

You are hysterical!! Spit Water on my computer screen reading your post:lol:

This thread rules. I soooo needed a laugh today!!

I used to get Brazillian waxes all the time. They are uncomfortable, but if you get the right person to do it, it's not that bad. Then I met my husband and he wasn't into it. He preferred the hoo-ha to "look like a woman, not a teenager". So, I haven't had one in 5 years!! The episode on Housewives was SO funny. That poor woman not knowing what she was getting into.

Ohhhhh vanity.....it's such a delight...LOL!!!

Buy a waxing kit, get some small strips, and go to town. I dont want to spend 50-80 bucks to have someone wax my vage when I can just do it myself.

Having said that, my mother worked in a salon for 19 years, and did pass on a few tips, BABY powder. Make sure the skin is completely dry, put a little baby powder on that thing. The baby powder helps, doesnt hurt as bad because you arent yanking the first layer of skin off with the hair. The trick with wax is a THIN layer. Its much more productive than slatering on a think goopy layer of wax that you'll have to scrub for 3 hours to get off.

Youre going to have to contort your body into some strange positions, but I count that as exercise Use small strips, if the wax is too hot, apply it directly to the strip, then to the skin.

After the waxing is done you should probably go over the skin with some baby lotion, it removes any remaining wax. I normally get a lotion for sensitive skin and put it on there too.

Its easiest to do this at night, so you have a chance to rest and sleep afterwards.

Angelica, you just described why I have no problem spending $75 every 2 months. I've tried a "many" at home kits - never found one that took 15mins, with as little pain as having it done professionally...Props to ANY one that can do this on their own!!

I've done it both at home and in a spa. I much prefer the spa. I really found it makes a difference who does it... some estheticians hurt more than others. My friend is a professional esthetician, and she has given me the following tips - take a pain killer about 30 minutes prior to waxing (she recommends advil, but i think that's on the no go list for us bandsters),don't go the week before your period, it will hurt more. help the waxer to hold your skin tight. The tighter your skin, the less it hurts.

Best of luck!

I found the spas hurt less as well. the wax is a much better quality and the auntheticians know what they are doing . No way i would do that down there on my own. If I have time tomorrow I AM GOING !!!

So i'll let ya know lmao

OK Ladies ! Im going in at 11:15 LORD HELP ME !!!

I'm laughing my butt off, how funny. But I can honesly tell you this is something my husband would never agree to have done.. He is way to sensitive.

You know what this all reminded me of, on Dr. 90210 this lady was having her butt hole lightened. They were applying lightning stuff so the darkness around her butt hole would go away. She was on all fours and they first had to wax her and let me tell you, when they tore that tape off it looked painful. Have you every heard of that??

Which brings me to another question. Do any of you ladies have darker shaded inner thighs. Mine are slightly darker due to all the rubbing from when I was heavier. Just wondering if I'm the only one with this problem. Maybe I should go get that and my butt hole lightened?? How embarassing..

You're not the only one. I've got darker inner thighs, too.
