getting waxed today....any pain releiving advice

I'm very nervous because I have no pain tolerance!

Depends on what you're waxing.

When I went for my first Brazillian, I remembered it being more pressure than pain.

Talk to the person who's doing it - keep your mind off of it. Before you know it - it's all done!

I'm going to privee salon. SOmeone on here recommended Martha there and said she is very good with first time bikini waxers. I'll definitely take the advil!!

Pop some advil & chat away w/the person because it gets your mind off of what's going on...you'll be so happy w/the results!!!

I have ReALLY sensitive skin, and I use bikini zone after waxing to prevent any redness/swelling. I also use it on my eyebrows, its GREAT, you can get it at any drugstore!

I've used Aloe before... maybe a little unconventional but it always soothes any pain I have. It feels cold which is nice, just like when you get sunburned. Can be a bit sticky though...

i actually just went for my brazilian yesterday. i agree with the PPs...definitely keep a conversation going all the time. it lets the time go by faster. and definitely take pain reliever an hour before you go. and make sure you don't shave! it makes it worse.
