Just got a full one tonight! I did the underarms and legs while I was at it. Lebell arrives tomorrow and I'm positive I will be rewarded.

Yes, it was painful and I even have some bruising -- but I love the clean feel. I will pay close attention to when I start to regrow hair and keep you all posted. (Today is 3/18.)

I haven't read the thread, but my input: I love having it ALL off!!!

the feeling is awesome in every way- it's cleaner, softer, and just looks nicer too.

Wow the horror do not think I could go through that think I will keep shaving. Power to the tough women!!

fallenangel

I've had two done thus far, by two different places. Make damn sure that they test the wax on another sensative area other than that just because sometimes it is a bit too hot and it'll hurt! Secondy, i was told to not put lotion certain types of lotion on that area, the best kind was suggested to be Tea Tree Oil lotion... or just the natural oil. Something healing in it i guess, i dunno but it felt soothing to the skin

Also, agreed, don't go without underwear just after, it will hurt! Seondly, i'll extend this to don't wear with lace panties either... just rubs too much and hurts as well... Just some thoughts

K, nervous now - I'm getting my first Brazilian done today, and don't know what to expect. Some of you said it hurts like hell, others said no big deal....guess I'll find out, won't I? Wish me luck!

lurkette - I've heard taking 1-2 ibuprofrins ~20 mins before is a good preventative.

Good Luck, and report back

K, so that was not so awful. It was fairly uncomfortable, but it only really hurt a couple of times. I think if I followed up with it and kept doing it every month it wouldn't be so bad - the hairs will be finer and fewer. I'm still a little tender, but all things considered it's better than shaving every fricking day and STILL having to deal with stubble.

I tried the whole shaving thing for a while but I just couldn't keep up with it. Plus the stubble was bad. I just use my man's beard trimmer thingy and shave it all really short every few weeks. Plus I don't feel like such a little girl because I have some hair there.

I have my eyebrows waxed and I think that hurts. I would never wax the ol' mound of venus. You guys are very brave that do this!

Glad to hear it went well lurkette! Just out of curiousity - how much did it cost? I'd love to have it done, but I am on a college budget.

This time it cost $45. It looks like it could have been as cheap as $35 for a follow-up visit (easier because there's less/finer hair) or as expensive as $60 if I'd had more hair (I don't have a lot, and it wasn't very long) and opted for the "full" treatment - I didn't opt for the "flip over and wax your butt" part. Frankly, I don't have that much hair on my behind, and I was REALLY ready to be done.

It's now, oh, 3 hours post-wax and I'm feeling pretty good. It's still a little tender but not very red. Oddly enough, it's not the "dainty bits" that hurt the worst but the very upper region of the mons, near the top of the hairline. I guess the hair is coarsest and thickest there, and that's where she had to tweeze the most. That part still prickles a bit.

lurkette - thanks for the report

My Q - pain-wise, is it something you could have done to *yourself*?

(I've long wanted to wax, but with current budget would be limited to DIY at home stuff (with help from the bf for the difficult parts)...)

I have a lot of questions.
I heard the Brazilian wax was where they waxed every thing like all the hairs in all the areas of the *you know what* even by the butt. lol.
I am not sure to what places do this and I am not sure about how much it will cost, $45 to 60 seems to much has any one got this done for cheaper?
I heard that ppl with herpes should not get this done it will open back up the herpes(I dont have them) just warning any one with them.
I am shy down there, so do they make you spread your legs so they can wax every thing down below the * you know what* if you have any thing?
my friend said she tips the lady a lot because she does not want her saying any thing about her lol.

Hell no! It wasn't all that bad, and most of it I could have done myself, but there were 3 or 4 times where it really fucking hurt and no way I could have done it. Not to mention that the...er...angle of attack wouldn't be quite optimal, and I can't imagine having to take several passes *wince*.

Yup, that's basically what it is.

That seems about right.

That I don't know about - you sure as hell shouldn't get it done if you have open sores - forget the hygiene aspect, it'd hurt like bloody fuckng hell! Dono if it could trigger a latent

Well, yeah, you kind of have to spread your legs so they can get everything. If you're shy, don't get a Brazilian, just get a normal bikini wax. This is not for those who wanna keep their privates private.

Meh - they're professionals, and they see enough coochies that I'm sure it's no big deal. You should tip because they do a good job in a um...delicate area.

I think I will get mine done before I get married Looking forward to it.. just don't like having to let it grow out to get that done. But I think it'll be well worth it.

I think most guys who make the journey down south would appreciate it. Then again, Diddagirl is right and it depends on the guy.

Having a smooth, lovely nude tush is worth the cost, but after having spent the money ($70.) last summer for a very good Brazillian...I am just as happy shaving. It was painful. Wish I had been into shaving years ago becuase it's not that bad and feels so good. Each to her own I suppose.

I had never thought about having this done but my intrest is peaked. So, I think I am going to call tomorrow and see who in town does it and how much it costs. I have one question are you so sore afterwards that you can't have sex that night or would you be okay?
