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!

      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.
