Brazillian Waxing



Recommended Posts

Just curious, how many of you have had this done. I am wondering, in comparison to having my eyebrows and upper lip waxed, what is the level of pain?

**LOL**

susan, i won't lie it hurts.....my eyebrows never have though.

you want to make sure you go to someone who has been doing it a while.....a slip up of wax a further bit south could lead to problems (ie - bathroom):lol::ohmy:

the good thing - it lasts a LONG time before hair grows back & it grows in less.

It scares me to death, yet I am definitely thinking about having done. Does it help to have a couple drinks first to relax you?

I go every 4 weeks! They can wax down there all they want, but touch my upper lip and all hell will break loose!

Of course, they make "No scream" cream to put down there to numb the area. You put it on a half hour before and you're good to go!

I did a brazillian wax about 2 months ago for the first time. It was quite painful however after I weighed the pros and cons, I was very happy with the results. The cons list was much shorter than the Pros. I am more than willing to go thru the pain every so often to achieve the results. I am going to take tylenol before my next appointment to see if that helps with the pain.

I have heard that the "no scream cream" doesn't work so great. I think I would be willing to try it though.

I say go for it.

I get my eyebrows waxed and I dont think it hurts. I want to punch the woman when she plucks though, I HATE that bit.

My upper lip - cant stand it. Hurts too much. Have a red moustache mark for days. Dont have much hair there anyway, only if I wear dark make up and I barely ever wear make up, so I dont care.

Brazillian - no thanks.

I get mine done every 3 to 4 weeks. Have a couple glasses of wine first! It's not that bad, it's way worth it and makes you feel cleaner and sexier! My husband loves it!

Yes it hurts, but so worth it!! MUCH easier the second time around (and easier each time) as the hair is thinner and sparser each time.

Thanks for the reminder! *goes to book her next appointment*

Well, I think I am going to give it a try. I may do a couple of glasses of wine and tylenol first, lol. I just have to find where to go in my area.

I am not sure if it is the norm to do "sugar waxing" but that's what I had done and it wasn't so bad. So, I recommend it. I couldn't imagine having the regular waxing done down there! OUCH! Lip is much worse for me.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      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.
