I am getting a Brazilian bikini wax on Thursday for my trip. I never had one and was wondering what kind of pain I'm in for.

Oh. Let us know!



I've never had one. A friend of mine did and she described it as feeling like raw meat.

Have fun!

hokie said:

Oh God, thanks.
That's reassuring.

yeah, once. i would definitely do it again.

do you wax your legs or anywhere else? do you mind it?
i don't mind the pain at all. it's a half second and then it's gone.

It's painful but only for a second at a time. It's so worth it, super smooth after.

I'm a punk when it comes to pain.
So much of a punk that i use nair for hair removal.
I don't want to have to think about any of that when I'm on my trip this Friday so I am getting the Brazilian, legs and underarms waxed.

nothingbutjoy suggests taking advil a half hour before having a mammogram... perhaps you could try that for the waxing

if i could wax my own underarms i would every summer! love it!

emm said:

I'll definitely be taking the Advil

emm said:

I took Advil before I did laser hair removal. It helped a lot.

emm said:

Yeah! I forgot to add that little tibit about the ibuprofen. My friend does that too and says it helps. If I were doing it I'd even take it an hour before. Sometimes it can take 45 minutes to an hour to kick in.

Genesia said:

How many did you take?

1sexymf said:

Four.

Four 200mg Advils equals a prescription strength Motrin.

Genesia said:

Four it is then.

it's a little weird having someone down there but you just have to put it out of your mind telling yourself you never have to see this person again. besides, she sees dozens of hoonanys everyday. and you get a paper g string.

i also had her do my nails that day

emm said:

I assume I'll have to get naked and put on a robe? Getting it ripped off from top to bottom. I'll teel her to be gentle; it's my first time.
I get a complimentary mani and pedi when I get to the resort.

1sexymf said:

you are in the room by yourself and have the double towelette wipe to do before you put on the paper g string. i was at a very "no frills" place so there was no robe I'm sure I would have kept my bra on and let her know when I was settled on the table with my glamourous paper sheet over me. the stuff they use for brazilian is different. Kind of soft taffy like. Ask for a mirror to make sure there were no misses! I'm sure you will do fine. Enjoy your trip!

Never had a Brazilian.
Had an Israeli, British, Swedish, Mexican, Canadian and American, but no Brazilian.
I'm happy with the American, so I don't intend to have a Brazilian, either

I knew a response like this would eventually be posted.

1sexymf said:

I bet you also knew it would be me

I think I'm the only one with that sense of humor.

Or at least the only one who finds it funny

I used to fantasize about them, but not anymore. There was nothing that turned me on about it.

1sexymf said:

What about the response asking that you post before & after pics? Are you expecting one of those? It's sure to pop up aaanny second now...

RenHoek said:

I already had this request

ArielB said:

It was no surprise, lol.

renny that gif is lame. just for you...

At least you're doing the sensible thing and going to a proper salon - one of my friends did her best mates bikini line - the wax was too hot so she sat up screaming, once she'd calmed down she found that the lip of her fanny was stuck to her thigh She had to try and unstick her best mates frou-frou for her whilst being incredibly careful where she put her hands!

I have to admit that I very nearly pissed myself laughing when she told me

MrsGoodnight said:

OMG!!
Hells no! I wouldn't dare try to have a friend do it or do it myself.
Especiall after reading this: check next post.

(I don't have a clue as to who wrote this, but....WHAT A HOOT !)

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, fix dinner, play with the kids.

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. Its 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 kids, 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....RRRRRIIIIPPP!!!!

I'm blind!!!

OH MY GAWD!!!!!

Vision returning, I notice that I've only managed to pull off half the strip. CRAP!

Another deep breath and RIPP! Eve rything 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 STARS!!!!!

The scream probably woke the kids and scared the dickens out of my friend.
It's sooo 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've had it done. I was coping fine until they got to my scrotum. I would recommend you leave that bit be.
