help! Brazilian wax at 11

Ok ladies! This is my first time doing this. I've done the bikini line before. What do I wear on the bottom? Do I take it off? What goes on? I'm really nervous right now!!!

some places give you thses disposable panties to wear.

Be sure to take two tylenol/advil/alieve before you go!!

Re: help! Brazilian wax at 11

depends on the place. some will say it's easier if you take it off; for me it just is. others will have you pull it up or back. also depends on if you're doing front AND back.

maybe take some advil before you go - and try not to be nervous. tell them it's your first time and they'll help. good luck!

wear cotton, other fabrics might irritate afterwards. bottoms come off & wax goes on. its not that bad as long as the person has fast hands.

Take it all off-just easier that way. Take tylenol before and I put desitin on afterwards (no joke...helps with any redness and rash). You'll be fine!

Desitin works? I am definitely going to pick some up!

They also say to exfoliate the area with a scrub before and after the waxing to help reduce ingrowns afterwards.

Definitely take some advil or something before hand.

Some places give you disposable panties other's just have you take everything off.

Most important thing is to remember to breathe.
It will be fine, it is a little painful but I've been getting brasilians regularly for the past 4 years...I'll never go back to shaving!!!

This may be a dumb question - but do they numb the area at all???

AHHHH! I'm nervous for you!

<-------- waxing virgin

I know that it should definitely be Advil instead of Tylenol, etc. because it reduces swelling.

GOOD LUCK!!!

My friend uses some numbing spray before she gets it done, but she said even with the spray it's still not a pleasant experience. lol. Can't remember the name of it.
