it hurts just pulling out one armpit hair when shaving OWOWOWOWOWOWOWWWIE

Maybe I'm just a freak, but I used to get my armpits waxed all the time (no longer unfortunately, due to a delicate financial situation) and it never hurt very much. I used to get regular brazilians too, same story. The thing that DOES hurt me is my eyebrows. Yeouch!

PREPARE FOR A POSSIBLE TMI.

Brazilian-wise -- At the moment, it's a jungle down there. I'm very poor right now (paying off a certain surgery) plus i'm single, so there's no-one to get annoyed. It certainly annoys me, so I keep it trimmed, but otherwise "au naturel". Whatever.

Not sure why i'm sharing this with you all. Ah well :biggrin:

I got the Full Brazilian (no hair, no where) done yesterday. It really hurt and took about 35 minutes. It was fairly invasive, I mean she had her fingers and face (so she could see what she was doing) right in there.

However.......unbeatable crazy dirty multi-orgasmic sex this morning.

SO it was definetly worth it !

Well, I was inspired to phone a local spa and as soon as I was home from the hospital (post op infection and dis-banding), I went in and had laser hair removal on my chin and upper lip, lasered a couple of sun spots, and booked a waxing. So yesterday I got my wax. I did arms, underarms, and legs. My incisions aren't quite healed yet so I'm doing a standard bikini wax in a couple of weeks.

I feel so much better! It didn't hurt at all and was worth every penny!

I'll never go back to shaving.

Always ;-)

Hi Pix, my Mum owns a beauty salon I have had Brazilains, Hollywoods and a Vegas (What are they all named after places?) You want to aim for 2 to 3 days before he gets back, the day before at the very latest! I am also trained as a waxer if you have specific questions PM me and I can tell you anything you need to know :redface:

Miss Wilde, Sorry to ask and be so niave at 43 years old, but if you don't mind me asking, what are Hollywoods and Vegases? Even the lady who does my brazilain doesn't know. Maybe we just call the particular style something else!:)

I made an appointment for my legs and kini wax in two weeks. That should be more than enough time for my leg hairs to grow out right? I'm nervous about the kini part. I don't want a full brazillian but want more than just outside of my panty line done. A friend of mine calls it the airstrip or landing strip, just a strip on the top and everything else (sides, under etc) gone. Anyone know what style that is?

This may have already been asked/answered, but how long does the hair have to be? I shave regularly now (sometimes :thumbup:) but I would rather wax it. Thank you.

I used to wax. When I filled out the skin more the surface was tighter/smoother. Then gained alot and didn't really wear stuff that showed the stuff I didn't want to shave(lower legs). Now I've lost some weight and I have loose skin. My question to the ladies that have lost some weight is:

Does the loose skin hinder the waxing at all? Do you help the waxer out and pull it tight? Ya see with my weight loss has come some really loose skin.

Any help??

Thank goodness I only read these posts at home. I just screamed with laughter!!! I thought only I was a wussy; whew, that was hysterical. :lol:

OMG I had a brazilian done a year ago and it hurt like a mother! I have two tattoos and they hurt much less. I was charged about $75 and luckily it only takes about 10 minutes of torture but still, OMG I had to hold back my screams. Just imagine....HOT wax close to your who ha and bum whole area (sorry too graphic) but your reaction is to close your legs and cringe but if you do then the wax will seal things up, yikes! I survived obviously, and the next day, after the soreness subsided, then it was so nice and smooth, which lasted for a few weeks. The second time was much faster and not as bad, but for only a three week enjoyment at such a costly fee, I was not willing to keep it up. My friend does the brazilian by lasering and instead of the heat, it's more of a burning since the laser scortches the hairs. I think for a special occassion the brazilian wax would be nice but I just "maintain" my garden by shaving :confused_smile:

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      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
