  Booked my first wax......ouch ****Updated*****

  sparkles1984 Joined on 11-Jun-2011 Cardiff Posts 1,377	Contact well I have just booked my first Brazillian wax for next Wednesday! Anyone had one before and how much does it hurt? The woman laughed on the phone when I said I was going to try that one first. She said I was brave going for that first.......should I be worried?   Also the hair lady is coming around in 20 mins to discuss what she can do with my hair. Yay! July 18th 2011

  Contact I wouldnt be without my 'landing strip' (or brazillian! lol) Try not to tense up or it will hurt more, its not bad and its well worth it, some people just have thier bikini line done, but my view on it is if you're going to do it, do it properly!! The thing i find worst about it is getting 'stuck together' afterwards lol and its really not a good idea to have a hot bath or shower to wash off excess wax after as that can irritate things,   I find having my eyebrows done worse!!

  Contact It will hurt, just not too bad.  I have brazillian all the time, however, i only had my arm pits done the once, nd that imo was once too many!  Don't tense up it will hurt more.  I chat all the way through mine to take my mind off the situation!  Also, there will be left over wax making you all sticky, don't bath for 24 hrs.  Use baby oil to remove the stickyness!  good luck! We expect a full report! OM since 8-9-10
