Bikini waxing



Recommended Posts

I picked up some of the powder yesterday (found it in the men's shaving section at Walmart) and tried it on the upper lip/jaw area and it worked wonderfully with no irritation. Last time I did that with Veet I wound up beet red with ugly splotches (on my annversary)... this stuff's great!

No problem - I tried it tonight! I had to re-read the MSP thread I posted, and laughed all over again. I bought the cream formulation online as I couldn't be bothered mixing up my own. So I ended up leaving it about 9 minutes, no burning or irritation, and got 90% of the hair off.. funnily, the longer bits came off more easily than the stubble. Worked out amazingly smooth, I am SO impressed!!

Going to try the underpits next. Legs I don't mind shaving but the pits get the bumps.

I think I read that the powder form works better then the cream one, as you can make it into a thick paste. What I did was use an old mason jar and a plastic spoon along with an old plastic gift card for scraping:thumbup1:. I store them all under the counter in the bathroom. I used it on bikini line the other day, I hadn't used any since I had surgery 6 weeks ago and as usual it worked great!

I did the underarms tonight, and OMG. I have *NEVER* had smoother underarms - I always had the dark shadow with shaving no matter how close I tried to get it. I wondered how the heck other girls had smooth pits... this is one way!! Totally feels like it's as smooth as a baby's bum!

OMG I'm so jealous! I want to try it so bad! I may just have to order some from Amazon or something!

OMG! I tried this last week, I went for the armpits to start off....and my armpits felt like they were on fire.....I had to rinse off and walk around with my arms raised for the rest of the day....glad I didn't go down under as a starting point...UGGG i guess I have more sensitive skin...(my skin has been a pain in the rear since surgery)....I wish the powder had not burned...I get waxed regularly, not only is it expensive...it is painful.....I am soooo bummed!

Oh and it smells like Perm solution...my husband had the fans going and the windows open.....he's a bigger pain than me....

I guess I'll go to sally's and buy the wax mentioned above....will have him do it...see how that goes...LOL!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
