I really want to do it but am seriously afraid of the pain. Does it hurt really bad? AAAnd does it last longer? I think I may do it.

theres a few places not many though that using a numb cream before doing a brazilian wax...thing is to find one that does this

but if not take the 2 advils, takes away from the pain a little bit

Im def gonna do the advil thing. Does it actually last longer than shaving?

it lasts ALOT longer than shaving...generally with waxing it shouldnt grow back for about a month, sometimes its 2-3 weeks but should be about a month...plus after you wax the hair grows back alot softer and after waxing for a while less hair will grow back...so thats why the more you wax the less painful it gets bc the hair doesnt grow back as thick

well i guess thats it then....im going for it...

the more you'll do it the easier it will be, maybe take 3 advils before lol. And like i said make sure you are COMPLETELY dry if not have them put baby powder on first, but many places will do this regardless. Good luck and dont worry it wont be that bad, itll be over before you know it

lol...thanks for all the advice!

no problem and good luck

Re: Since we are talking about waxing....

ouch this is making me cringe. I once tried to do it myself and let the wax get too hot and gave myself like 3rd degree burns on my crotch. yea...I would recomend getting it done professionally.

I do bikini waxing and what I have told my friends if they are scared is this:

take two ibuprofen about a half hour before. I dont have to because it doesnt bother me but try it out. It is so worth it!

Are you talking about brazilian or other areas

i get waxed and honestly really not that bad, you feel it for a few seconds but definitely not something that is unbearable or else none of us would get waxed lol or less people would. Eyebrows and many other parts are not bad and after a while you feel even less

take 2 advils 30 mins before it helps

does it really? im going try that next time I go!

Re: Since we are talking about waxing....

It hurts a lot the first time - but to be honest, the 'brazilian' part hurts the least! I feel like it's the regular bikini area that hurts the most. Advil does help. And, it really does hurt less if you keep it up!!!

Re: Since we are talking about waxing....

I finally waxed my bikini line last month for the first time and I think I built it up in my head to be soooo bad that it really wasnt. I just did it for the second time a few days ago. Its awesome not worrying about my nest growing back the next day. It does last long. Close to 3 weeks for me.

Re: Since we are talking about waxing....

I started waxing in high school (8 yrs ago) and kept it up cause i hate those black dots some people get under their arms and other areas after shaving. I wanted clean underarms and a smooth south. If you do it for a long time, it lasts longer. Like when I started it lasted for a week or so now, underarm lasts for two weeks and brazillian lasts for 3 and when it does grow back its so small that I could go a few more weeks without. I get brazillian once a month after my period, underarm every two weeks and eyebrows once every few months. You definitely get used to it, but make sure you got to someone good. I went before where I got seriously burned down there, another person did it so slowly it was painful, but my current lady is the best. Everything done in under 15 mins and she keeps you so busy you forget about the pain.

Re: Since we are talking about waxing....

I get my eyebrows & Brazilian waxing done. It's embarrassing but you just do it and get it over with. My suggestion is to take some advil & if you haven't ever done it before do it enough days in advance in case of redness or swelling. I have super sensitive skin beyond belief & always get red and breakout for a few days! Oh and make sure they use a new stick and fresh wax! Last thing you need is leftovers! Good luck!
