thesuse2000 698 Posted November 19, 2014 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!

amazon 579 Posted November 19, 2014 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 ???!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Essence46 493 Posted November 19, 2014 I wasn't feeling that at all! LOL! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jersrose43 837 Posted November 19, 2014 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CowgirlJane 14,260 Posted November 19, 2014 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... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hadouni 301 Posted November 19, 2014 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LipstickLady 25,682 Posted November 20, 2014 I shave my muffin. I leave a little landing strip (for the jumbo jet!) but that's it. So much easier than it used to be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jems 36 Posted November 26, 2014 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KayleeC14 159 Posted November 26, 2014 (edited) 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. Edited November 26, 2014 by KayleeC14 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MistyAnnMoon829 387 Posted December 5, 2014 (edited) 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. Edited December 5, 2014 by MistyAnnMoon829 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
