Maintaining Her down there



Recommended Posts

I went for laser hair removal a few years back - partial brazilian, so most, but not all is gone. It's kind of awesome not to have to shave anymore. I just trim what's left once in a while. Hubby and I both love it.

I like having less hair personally, but I also totally admire those who embrace what nature gave them!

I like to keep her bald so I shave twice a week. Have been shaving for the last 15 plus years. Never had any issues but have cut myself a few times from rushing. I wanted to try to Brazilian Wax but they wanted me to let it grow out a couple of inches first then come back. It hurts when I get my eyebrows done so I couldn't even imagine doing that.

A couple of inches ???!!! :o

My peeps tell me they need a half inch and that's a lot so the wax can grab on.

Not a couple inches. That would be extremely long and extremely painful

Ok. What makes this worse is having a lower body lift. The pubic zone is bigger. I want to do something but I get bulbs from shaving, scared of waxing pain and that leaves laser. I am emailing my plastic surgeon to see if my scars are mature enough to do that or if I need to wait another year...

Bumps from shaving. Hate auto correct.

Wax it all off, top to bottom, front to back!

I have an epilator (is that an actual word? an electric tweezer machine thingy!) that I'll use to clean up some in between but only in the "bikini" areas, not on my pinker parts!

Waxing your lady parts hurts (to me) and I've waxed my legs (only, no shaving) for 25 years.

Someone mentioned purple wax. My gal uses a blue wax. I think the key is that a "soft wax" is used on the lady parts that they pull directly off as opposed to a "hard wax" that requires the use of a fabric strip for the removal. The soft wax is made for more sensitive areas.

The evening of is usually pretty sensitive but it feels so nice and smooth!

Take a tylenol (or something stronger if you have any left over from surgery!) and give it a try at least once!

Trimming for now. I prefer Brazilian wax though. Not worth getting it right now. After surgery and the weight starts coming off, I will be back on the wax train.

I shave regularly, if I don't the hair grows back like a Chia Pet..lol Also what helps with the bumps is coochy cream from Pure Romance. Also side note on that stuff it works as good hair conditioner as well.

I just recently jumped on the brazilian band wagon, well kind of, I don't do bald, I hate the look, I leave a triangle and keep that trim. I love it! My waxer is amazing, being a plus size lady herself I instantly felt comfortable with her. She used the stripless wax, which was nice, and told me about a product you can buy on Amazon that keeps you from getting ingrowns called PFB, it's a roll on thing and can be used anywhere. So far so good.

I also get super red with face waxing, but not so with leg or brazilian.

No not at all. I find it grows in much softer! Totally worth it for sure!

      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.
