Ahhhh!

Ahhhh!

I am getting my first Brazilian in an hour. I am very, very scared and nervous. Not to mention it's going to cost me 45 buckaroos.

Le tme know how it goes. I was suppossed to get one for the honeymoon but ran out of time. Now I keep chickening out!

Re: Ahhhh!

Maybe I should stop at a bar and get a shot of Wild Turkey. I have heard it's very painful. But I'll report back.

Never had one, but I will keep my legs crossed for you.

Re: Ahhhh!

Hmmm. I didn't have very good luck with mine. Let me know how yours goes! Take an anti-inflammatory before you get it done, it'll help with the swelling later on.

Re: Ahhhh!

I am doing it a week before wedding for that reason, in case I get any reactions. No way am I trying it one or two days before the wedding.

Is aspirin fine to take before it?

Re: Ahhhh!

I've had a regular and have never had any problems. But, I've never had a Brazilian...is it really that different??

Ummmm.... yes. Let's just put it this way, I know a few women who got yeast infections from them. Much more surface area if you know what I mean.

What? Yeast infections? Now I'm worried about doing it. That's the last thing I need on my honeymoon.

I wouldn't worry too much about it, I'm sure you will be fine.

Re: Ahhhh!

No, that really worries me since I've never had one before. I don't even want to chance that.

Re: Ahhhh!

That would indicate to me then, that you are not prone to them in the first place. But if you are truly concerned about it, I suggest you downgrade it to a regular one.

Aspirin's fine, it should help.

Re: Ahhhh!

Did you get it done? How was it?

StepherG Posted: Nov 04, 2004 03:08 PM

Re: Ahhhh!

It probably wasnt a yeast infection...it probably was contact dermatitis. I got this a few times from that. It feels like a yeast infection...but it's not really one. At least that's what my gyno said.

violet Posted: Nov 04, 2004 03:10 PM

Re: Ahhhh!

No, I decided against it because of the yeast infection thing, and also because I don't have that much growth which can be iffy to get it then. I really never have anything in that area.

I did some shopping instead. I got some sexy lingerie from VS instead.

Re: Ahhhh!

Good, the wax sounds very, very painful

Dermatitis is another possibility, but according to their gyno's it was definitely a yeast infection.
