Waxing...down There.



Recommended Posts

I've never waxed down there as I'm too embarrassed to go. I know the waxer will be used to seeing every different shape and size, but I just can't bring myself to do it.

Anyone else have this issue? How did you get over it?

I think it's worse now as the skin on my thighs is much looser than it used to be.

I'm going to Hawaii next year, so I want to tidy things up.

Go to a Sally's Beauty supply and buy some wax and strips and do it yourself :)

Hell no! Epilady'ing my legs is painful enough. There is no way I'd attempt waxing down there myself! LOL.

Nessa, you just have to suck it up! They have seen worse, trust me. Try to find a places that is highly recommended, either by your friends or in Yelp, etc. a professional will go out of their way to make you feel comfortable, especially if you mention it's your first time.

Once you you won't regret it and you'll never go back to shaving!

I agree with Frza .... Once you do it you will never go back to shaving .... They see so many a day , ( with no disrespect ) yours will not be any big deal to them .... However just take a deep breath and walk in there with all the confidence and be proud of what you have accomplished so far ..... Good luck

Out of curiosity for the ladies that do this, how often do you go? Is there a difference when the hair starts growing back as compared to shaving?

This is one of my planned rewards for when I get close to goal (or comfortable enough to go). I've never done it but it'll be nice not to have to maintain myself! Although, oddly enough, it's becoming easier to do the more weight I lose since I can actually kinda see "down there."

Im curious about this too. How much do you have to let it grow out before it can be waxed?

I'm having to go more often these days, like every 4 weeks. I swear its from the Biotin! I'm getting hairy, hopefully on my head as well!

The hair is way more sparse and fine when it does grow in.

When did this come into fashion? 80's, 90's, or 2000? (I've been out of circulation a bit!)

It's really painful the first times that you do it or you get it done but you get used to it after a wile. My advice is get it waxed, don't do it yourself

I used to get a Brazilian was regularly but it started to become a hassle. I would have to go every 4 weeks and pay $45 and I just decided to shave instead. With shaving I can do it every few days for free. I would also get very raw with waxing and scabby a little. The pain doesn't really bother me and I may consider having it done again. I prefer when they use the strips. I actually thought waxing felt pretty good lol

I'm the opposite. Shaving has always resulted in itchy bumps for me. I wish shaving gave the same results, I'd save a lot of time & money!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
