Are any of you going to get your armpits waxed for the big day? Have you ever done it in the past? I'm afraid it might be so painful but I don't want to worry about anything on that day....what do you think?

Re: Personal Question....
Just the thought of it is making me squirm, so that would be a big NO for me!! But then again, the thought of getting my bikini area waxed also makes me squirm, so I'm too chicken to do that too!!

Re: Personal Question....
I agree -- I get a brazilian bikini wax regularly -- but armpits seem like a lot of pain & aggrivation for little payoff. I got to say though -- I got the Venus razor and it really makes a difference! It's a triple blade - my FI loved his triple blade and I understand why. It really does shave you close and I can feel the difference on my legs (I generally don't 'feel' my armpits - but they look fine to me ) Anyway - it costs a little more (about $7 with one replacement blade -- cheaper at BJ's wholesale club) but I thinkit's worth it.

Re: Personal Question....
I got my underarms waxed once ....... ONCE. Holy s@#t!! It was the worst mistake I've ever made. It hurt worse than I could ever imagine, and I had a terrible reaction. I get my bikini and eyebrows waxed regularly and I used the same girl, but I was not prepared for the armpit disaster! So, no, I won't do it again.

Re: Personal Question....
If you have a sleaveless dress I would get the pits waxed...its not bad...and no stubble
If you go to a good place with good wax...it will not hurt that much...even try t tweezer...believe it or not, if you go in the direction of the hair...it will not hurt...

Re: Personal Question....
I think everyone must be different. I've had a bunch of waxing done, and I would say my eyebrows hurt the worst
The idea of not having to shave while on my honeymoon is sooo worth a little pain. I would try it, but leave enough time in between when you have it done and your wedding.
Good luck- Jen

Re: Personal Question....
I am going to torture myself and have my under arms waxed. My dress is strapless and when I shave, since my hair is dark, you can see it under the surface of my skin. I want it to look perfect . I have had it done a couple of times before, and I think eyebrows are worse!! If you are going to have ANYTHING waxed don't wait till the last minute. You need some time for the skin to calm down.

Re: Personal Question....
I got my armpits waxed for my wedding in June. I did it 6 months before as well to make sure I wouldn't have a bad reaction. It lasted the whole honeymoon which was fabulous, and I don't remember it hurting -- certainly no where near as much as my ankles felt. hehe. Either way, the pain from waxing is quick if you go to a good person. I think its definately worth it!

Re: Personal Question....
I want to get my armpits waxed as well. How far in advance? Two weeks?

Re: Personal Question....
I did mine on Wednesday night with a Sunday wedding. One week before is probably ideal.

Re: Personal Question....
I am going two weeks before. That makes it next week!!! I hate the growing out part, maybe I can go earlier. Feels awful, can't believe I can't wait to wax!

Re: Personal Question....
I actually work in a salon where I do waxing. I wouldn't do it 2 weeks before your wedding because some hair might grow back by then. The average a waxing lasts is 2-4 weeks. The hair under your arms is usually a thicker hair which makes it grow back faster. I'd say a Wed. before a Sat wedding is ideal. Let me know if you have anymore questions. PS take a aspirin about a hour before your appointment and that will help with the pain.

6/21/03---> I have another question: How long does the hair have to be when I get my armpits waxed? (that is going to be a horrible sight!)

Re: Personal Question....
The hair should be at least 1/4 of a inch or longer, but not that much longer. If the hair is much longer than that, it might break off rather than get pulled out by the root.
