I've considered this a few times but always chickened out before it came time to even make an appointment. Thinking about it again now tho...

[coltonwade 27]

Honestly It really was not that bad ! There were a few :confused: moments but all in all it was not bad .

Go for it . NOW that being said , I would NOT Do a full Brazilian , i honestly think that would HURT LIKE A SOB !!!

From what I've read, the area done for the regular bikini is actually the worst part of the whole thing, typically the very top. I dunno. I have a few weeks to grow out enough to be waxed anyway, heh.

[katiebug 6]

Has anyone here tried a Brazilian bikini wax? How painful and embarassing is it?

I just shave. Personal & no pain!

OMG! My gut hurt I am laughing so hard!!!!!

Ok lady's.....I've been reading all your replys and I have just got to share this joke with you.

This will make you laugh.

All hair removal methods have tricked women with their promises

of easy, painless removal - The Epilady, scissors, razors, Nair and

now...the wax.

Read on.........

My night began as any other normal weeknight. Come home, eat

dinner, play with the dog.

I then had the thought that would ring painfully in my mind for

the next few hours:

"Maybe I should pull the waxing kit out of the medicine

cabinet."

So I headed to the site of my demise.....the bathroom.

It was one of those "cold wax" kits. No melting a clump of hot

wax, you just rub the strips together in your hand, they get warm and

you peel them apart and press them to your leg (or wherever else) and

you pull the hair right off.

No muss, no fuss. How hard can it be? I mean, I'm not a genius, but I am

mechanically inclined enough to figure this out. (YA THINK!?!)

So I pull one of the thin strips out. It's two strips facing each other stuck together.

Instead of rubbing them together, my genius kicks in, so I get out the hair dryer

and heat it to 1000 degrees. ("Cold wax," yeah...right!) I lay the strip across my thigh.

Hold the skin around it tight and pull. It works!

OK, so it wasn't the best feeling, but it wasn't too bad. I can do this!

Hair removal no longer eludes me! I am She-rah, fighter of all wayward body hair and

maker of smooth skin extraordinaire.

With my next wax strip I move north.

After checking on the dog, I sneak back into the bathroom, for

the ultimate hair fighting championship. I drop my panties and place one

foot on the toilet.

Using the same procedure, I apply the wax strip across the right

side of my bikini line, covering the right half of my hoo-ha and

stretching down to the inside of my butt cheek (it was a long strip).

I inhale deeply and brace Myself....RRRRIIIPPP!!!!

I'M BLIND!!! Blinded from pain!!!!....OH MY GAAAWD!!!!!!!!!

Vision returning, I notice that I've only managed to pull off

half the strip. CRAP!

Another deep breath and RIPP!

Everything is spinning and spotted. I think I may pass out.....

Must stay conscious...must stay conscious. Do I hear crashing

drums???

Breathe.......breathe!!!

OK, back to normal.

I want to see my trophy - a wax covered strip, the one that has

caused me so much pain, with my hairy pelt sticking to it. I want to

revel in the glory that is my triumph over body hair. I hold up the

strip!

There's no hair on it. Where is the hair??? WHERE IS THE

WAX???

Slowly I ease my head down, foot still perched on the toilet. I

see the hair. The hair that should be on the strip.....it's not! I

touch. I am touching wax. I run my fingers over the most sensitive part

of my body, which is now covered in cold wax and matted hair.

Then I make the next BIG mistake.......remember my foot is still

propped upon the toilet.

I know I need to do something. So I put my foot down.

Sealed shut! My butt is sealed shut. Sealed shut!

I penguin walk around the bathroom trying to figure out what to

do and think to myself.....

"Please don't let me get the urge to poop. My head may pop

off!"

What can I do to melt the wax?

Hot water!! Hot Water melts wax!! I'll run the hottest water I

can stand into the bathtub, get in, immerse the wax-covered bits and the

wax should melt and I can gently wipe it off, right???

WRONG!!!!!!!

I get in the tub - the water is slightly hotter than that used

to torture prisoners of war or sterilize surgical equipment.......I sit.

Now, the only thing worse than having your nether regions glued

together, is having them glued together and then glued to the bottom of

the tub......in scalding hot water. Which, by the way, doesn't melt cold wax.

So, now I'm stuck to the bottom of the tub as though I had cemented myself

to the porcelain!!

God bless the man who had convinced me a few months ago to have

a phone put in the bathroom!!!!!

I call my friend, thinking surely she has waxed before and has

some secret of how to get me undone. It's a very good conversation

starter.......

"So, my butt and hoo-ha are glued together to the bottom of the

tub!"

There is a slight pause.

She doesn't know any secret tricks for removal but she does try

to hide her laughter from me. She wants to know exactly where the wax is

located, "Are we talking cheeks or hole or hoo-ha?"

She's laughing out loud by now.....I can hear her.

I give her the rundown and she suggests I call the number on the

side of the box.

YEAH!!!!! Right!!

I should be the joke of someone else's night.

While we go through various solutions. I resort to trying to

scrape the wax off with a razor .

Nothing feels better than to have your girlie goodies covered in

hot wax, glued shut, stuck to the tub in super hot water and then

dry-shaving the sticky wax off!!

By now the brain is not working, dignity has taken a major hike

and I'm pretty sure I'm going to need Post-Traumatic Stress counseling

for this event.

My friend is still talking with me when I finally see my saving

grace....the lotion they give you to remove the excess wax.

What do I really have to lose at this point? I rub some on

and.......

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!

The scream probably woke the neighbors and scared the dickens

out of my friend.

It's soooo painful, but I really don't care.

"IT WORKS!! IT WORKS!!"

I get a hearty congratulation from my friend and she hangs up.

I successfully remove the remainder of the wax and then notice

to my grief and despair....

THE HAIR IS STILL THERE.......ALL OF IT!

So I recklessly shave it off. Heck, I'm numb by now. Nothing hurts.

I could have amputated my own leg at this point.

Next week I'm going to try hair color......

Hi, I get a Brazilian every month. If you do it regularly, like monthly, and don't shave in between, it's not bad. BUT, the first 5-6 times are the worst and each one gets better. Acutally, the most painful part is the top area. As you move down the area, it gets less and less painful until it doesn't really hurt at all in the butt crack (sorry to be so graphic!). HAHA. Go to a real waxing place. A WAX like brain surgery should be done by a professional. Never try it on your own!!! TOTALLY WORTH IT! Hubby loves it more than I do!!!

[anonemouse 1]

Honestly, I've got such bad hand/eye coordination that there's no way I'm willing to shave myself, especially since I'd have to use a mirror. Plus, between my genetics and my PCOS, I'm a hair-monster. Even though I'm sure it'll be painful, I'd rather go somewhere where they'll get all the hair. I'm willing to wax (actually, I use Nads) my forearms myself (again, I'm a hair-monster), but there ain't no way I'm waxing that myself.

[coltonwade 27]

ROFLMAO that was my thinking , I too have PCOS and I told the wax girl i feel like im the only one with hair in my crack and she said " OH HONEY NO your not I have seen 3 today with it there ! " LMAO

:eek::eek::eek::eek::frown::huh2:

I really have been very self conscious about it for many yrs. But no way like you Laurend was i going to shave down there .

So I just swallowed my pride and had someone wax me

I really admire all of you that were brave enough to have this done. I would be terrified and would probably cry my eyes out. Plus, I would be embarrassed because I think they would need an extra person just to hold my apron up out of their way. Sorry dh, things shall remain as they are for now!
