Ladies? (waxing question)



Recommended Posts

Oh and since I have brought up every other painful story, Nair is evil. Even if it is the kind for the bikini line it is evil. They are not lying on the box when they say to keep it away from these. Don't try it for the sake of you poor who ha.
You're right, Nair is evil. I can't use it at all, since I apparently have very stubborn hair. If I left it on long enough to get the hair off (no longer than suggested, though), I got burns. I tried it on my legs ONCE and that was more than enough. After it took off maybe 25% of the hair and turned my legs bright red, I tossed the bottle in the garbage. Add that to several bad experiences with using it on my face, and I just gave up on depilatories and turned to shaving.

I'm thinking I'm gonna go for a Brazilian wax, though. Maybe not completely bare, but enough.

OMG I must say, I needed this laugh. BUT honestly I also need a wax and always wondered the same damn thing! Lauren thanks for asking! :rolleyes2:

My best friend is a hairdresser and my DUMB DH wants her to do it for me, but of course he also has some erotic fantasie to go with it! lol...

How do you find a GOOD place to do it????

Question: Is the behind region usually taken care of along with the Gina, or does one have to ask specifically for that?...OK another question...a little more graphic...do they, you know, spread 'em a little to get ALL of the hair? I've been too much of a p**** to get it done (pun intended), but would like to treat myself when I hit one of my future goals.

I'd call around to find a spa that specializes in waxing - Me, I went and tested the place I go to by getting my brows waxed first. Not similar - but wanted to see how things were done

Trixie - they will "clean you" as much as you want..and that area behind is covered as well. . The place I go has a paper diaper that you lay on top of you, and you get "moved" side to side as the handle each area..your not "spread eagle". It's their job, they see your privates like they do others all day long. Be clean and take a valium if you have to,

I am a huge fan of waxing and love having it done. Yes, it hurts a little, but it's not that bad and it's totally worth it. Like some others have mentioned, make sure you get it done at a place that specializes in waxing, not a hair salon. Try to get some reviews of the place online before you go. I'm not embarrased to get it done because I figure the waxer has seen every vagina in town and there is always someone bigger or weirder-looking than me that she has seen. As for the little-kid thing, I always have them leave a little landing strip so I don't look like a 10 year old. The whole totally bare thing weirds me out a little.

Oh, and DON'T shave down there! You are asking for itching and ingrowns! And it just makes your hair thicker! Waxing, over time, actually thins the hair out.

Also, I've never had the paper diaper. My place does it bare. I think the diaper would only make it more weird. I mean, they are waxing your vagina. It's not like they aren't going to get in there anyway...:rolleyes2:

It's diaper "like" / napkin that you lay on top. My place uses it I'm guessing for modesty purposes - so your not laying completly exposed, true not like it's a big difference...I grew to appreciate it in the years I got heavy,

I have shaved down yonder for years. I guess when I realized (unlike Jachut!) it feels a lot better for ME when I do it. I learned quickly to shave WITH the hair, NEVER against.. otherwise it does create itches and bumps.

I hate goin to the gyno for the same reason, so I may never be brave enough to get it waxed. And I wouldn't go to the gyno if she couldn't cut me off of the b/c.

I remember the convo with my mom once- when I lived across the country. On the phone somehow it came up, and she thought it was nasty because pedophelia, etc. I dunno, I don't see it that way. So I told her to try it! A week later, she calls me back miserable. She didn't shave with the hair, was itchy and bumpy and said it was too bad to even try to enjoy it lol.

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......

I haven't tried it, but I've heard from co-workers that it's not so bad. But here is a story I'd like to share! hehehe

      Hey everyone!
      I’m new here! Looking for some friends! 🥰

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        Good Luck this procedure is well worth it I am down to 249.6 lb please continue with the process..

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

      3. Doughgurl

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
