Brazillian Waxing



Recommended Posts

**I've been wanting to get one as well but I scared a little! Im also wondering do they double dip the 'spatula' in the wax or do they change! I've read that some women got an STD after a Brazillian Waxing because of the double dipping! Did some of you ear the same thing? **

Sweetie,

I'm a licensed Nurse and Esthetician in Texas. If you ever see someone double dip even when they wax an eyebrow report it to the health dept. and don't let them touch you EVER... It is not sanitary at all... Now, I'm curious on this STD your talking about because I don't see how it could be possible at the temp. the wax was kept at. IMO that is someone who got the STD from another situation and choose to use waxing as a convenient explanation. Not saying that it could never ever happen but it's odd. I would be more worried about Staph from contaminated wax myself.. A professional should always have multiple sticks laying out on her/his cart or prep table. Always ask how they wax, a professional will never get upset for you questioning their procedures your safety...

Ladies and Gents don't be afraid this will only hurt for a minute :tongue2:

Have a lovely weekend

Ok Girls all the guys in the mens forum sent me over to request PICS.

LOL!! My partner was all "So can I watch?? Huh? PLEASE??" when I first went... Sadly for him, the salon would not allow that - not that I'd want him to watch - it's not exactly an elegant pose to be in and not half as sexy as it sounds, I'm sure!

It hurts. But it hurts worse if you go in there without preparing! I have long pubes (sorry if TMI) and if you can trim to about 1/4", it's slightly better.

My last Brazilian was a year and a half ago. I'm still getting ingrowns. I seem to have a problem with that, and they are NASTY. It was fun while it was bare, though.

Oh, and for your "big girls" question? I wasn't *all that* big when I went, but I was horrified when my esthetician gave me what looked like a washcloth to cover up! I had to ask for a "real" towel just for my insecurity...

Yeah...I think I'll stick with just shaving down there. haha! I'm not much for pain. I have used the Veet mouse on that area and it works very well with very little irritation.

      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.
