Brazillian Waxing



Recommended Posts

Just curious, how many of you have had this done. I am wondering, in comparison to having my eyebrows and upper lip waxed, what is the level of pain?

**LOL**

susan, i won't lie it hurts.....my eyebrows never have though.

you want to make sure you go to someone who has been doing it a while.....a slip up of wax a further bit south could lead to problems (ie - bathroom):lol::ohmy:

the good thing - it lasts a LONG time before hair grows back & it grows in less.

It scares me to death, yet I am definitely thinking about having done. Does it help to have a couple drinks first to relax you?

I have only waxed my eyebrows and upper lip once because it hurt so much...but I get my Brazilian wax once a month :smile: I guess everybody's different...

I go every 4 weeks! They can wax down there all they want, but touch my upper lip and all hell will break loose!

Of course, they make "No scream" cream to put down there to numb the area. You put it on a half hour before and you're good to go!

I did a brazillian wax about 2 months ago for the first time. It was quite painful however after I weighed the pros and cons, I was very happy with the results. The cons list was much shorter than the Pros. I am more than willing to go thru the pain every so often to achieve the results. I am going to take tylenol before my next appointment to see if that helps with the pain.

I have heard that the "no scream cream" doesn't work so great. I think I would be willing to try it though.

I say go for it.

I get my eyebrows waxed and I dont think it hurts. I want to punch the woman when she plucks though, I HATE that bit.

My upper lip - cant stand it. Hurts too much. Have a red moustache mark for days. Dont have much hair there anyway, only if I wear dark make up and I barely ever wear make up, so I dont care.

Brazillian - no thanks.

I get mine done every 3 to 4 weeks. Have a couple glasses of wine first! It's not that bad, it's way worth it and makes you feel cleaner and sexier! My husband loves it!

Yes it hurts, but so worth it!! MUCH easier the second time around (and easier each time) as the hair is thinner and sparser each time.

Thanks for the reminder! *goes to book her next appointment*

Well, I think I am going to give it a try. I may do a couple of glasses of wine and tylenol first, lol. I just have to find where to go in my area.

I am not sure if it is the norm to do "sugar waxing" but that's what I had done and it wasn't so bad. So, I recommend it. I couldn't imagine having the regular waxing done down there! OUCH! Lip is much worse for me.

      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.
