Waxing

Friday, May 09, 2008

Ouch, the very thought of it makes me cringe! As we rapidly approach bathing suit season (darn I need to shed those hibernation pounds) the “down there” area needs a little extra attention. I must admit I have braved a Brazilian wax, which minus the medieval torcher style pain and uncomfortable revealing spread eagle position, actually had some pretty rewarding and lasting payoffs. I didn’t have to shave for 2 weeks, and I was as smooth as a baby’s (well you know)! So, what do you think, is waxing worth the pain? Do you have any helpful pain fighting tips, tricks, or alternatives? Let’s hear and share your thoughts and secrets…and for every valid web comment on this blog only we will give you a Free $5 e.l.f. coupon via email just to say thanks (1 per person, valid to the first 100 posts only).

Every other time I go to the hair dresser, I have my hair dresser wax my eyebrows. She knows what she is doing so it's quicker and less painful then if I do it myself.

Waxing is definitely worth the pain. I've gotten one and although very painful, worth the lasting results. Its a million times better than shaving. They say only your first one is very painful and after that its bearable, I go for my second one next week!

I admit that I am scared to do a Brazilian wax but a friend of mine recommended shaving using the "Venus" razor and the shaving cream that goes with it. I tried it and I love it. I ususally shave once a week and when the hair grows back it is not itchy and I have removed everything!!! This is just a recommendation for ladies who either 1) Don't think they can tolerate the pain of waxing... and/or 2)Don't think their wallet can tolerate waxing. If you have tried it hit me back and tell me what you think!!

I usually pop a few Advil about 30 minutes before I go in for my annual waxing for the summer (it may be bi-annual this year!). They get less and less painful each time. During the rest of the year, I have found that the VEET hair removal product (found at Walmart, Walgreens, etc.) is wonderful! Although the tube says only wear it for 3 minutes, I usually keep my application on for 8-10 minutes. You wipe it away in the shower with a damp washcloth......and Wha-la! Give it a shot!

Yes, waxing is the way to go - but the first time is definately a killer. The only way to prevent this is to get waxed regularly, every single month! Also, always wax the week after your period, the hormones will make it less painful and the hair will appear to grow back more slowly. Don't wax more than once a month - the hairs won't be long enough and will break off and can give you those red bumps. Exfoliate (gently!) frequently and I use a tea tree oil for several days afterwards for redness and irriation relief. And yes, you can bikini wax yourself!

I hate the stubble from shaving "down there" so I think waxing is the way to go. I bikini wax at home and pay for the Brazilian a couple of times a year. Yeah, it hurts, but as several people have said, a couple of Advil and going at the right time of the month helps. The best wax I've found for home use is a Surgi-Wax product that doesn't require muslin strips. It gets stiff and you pull it off directly. The kit comes with a numbing solution, an oil that keeps your skin from sticking to the wax, and a soothing oil to use afterwards.

I've never waxed before, I stick with an epilator and shaving occasionally. Epilators just don't give the super smooth results though the results last quite a few days.

Waxing is so worth it! I wax my eyebrows and upper lip once a month. When I first started to it hurt like you can't believe. But now I'm used to it and it's a lot less painful. It's also so nice to not have to worry about plucking except for the occasional wild hair lol. Now, if I had the guts to wax my bikini line, or legs I might. But I'm just to chicken for that!

I've never waxed before. I think I'm afraid of the pain associated with the removal of the wax. I typically just shave, and sometimes I use the epilatory (Nair-like) products. It's become easier not to wax with all of the newer products being designed for the more sensitive areas of the body.

Some people swear by waxing, everything from their eyebrows to the tops of their feet. I, on the other hand, can't stand the thought of intentionally subjecting myself to the pain. I have been fortunate enough to have lighter colored hair and not very thick and unruly so I can get by with old fashioned shaving. I am trying to get up the nerve to try NADS though.

I think it depends on what you are waxing. I like to get my eyebrows waxed professionally every couple of months to keep them clean but then I tweeze them the rest of the time. I tried waxing my bikini line myself once and it was so painful! I'm too embarassed to have someone else wax my bikini!

Ouch! I don't think the removal of hair is worth the extra pain of waxing. I've had plenty of luck with shaving and plucking. In fact, waxing my eyebrows makes me break out, and I have better luck with plucking. I have wanted to try sugaring because I hear it is less painful, but the cost is prohibitive. I guess shaving is alright for me for now!!!

Yes it's worth the pain because I'm so busy it helps that I don't have to shave so often. I always take Advil before I go get it done and I put Aloe Vera gel on as soon as I get home. This really helps the pain!

I think waxing is worth the pain. It's better than shaving and then having to deal with coarse hair, more hair and it does not even last that long. When I wax, I can usually go totally smooth for over 2-3 weeks and only get fine hair.

I have always wanted to get a Brazilian wax, but I've never heard of anyone in my area that does it. I have looked online and did a search in my area, but I have yet to find anyone that does it.. or at least has it listed online. Is there any way I can find someone in my area that does this? Thanks!

Waxing is so totally worth it. It lasts and the hair don't get coarse. I prefer it to shaving which damages my skin and makes my hair come out thicker and coarser.

I have to say: waxing is worth the pain. think about it: when you shave, starting right away it's itchy and scratchy and awful. waxing, it's painful for about 20 minutes, maybe a little sore the rest of the day, and then you're straight for 6 weeks! totally worth it to me. take 2 advil every 4 hours during the day before you get waxed (i usually have appointments after work, so i'll start when i wake up that morning)--it really helps with the pain and inflamation.

I love my brazilians. I take an IB profen an hour before hand, which helps with inflammation. I make sure to focus on talking and then I don't pay attention to the process. Waxing is also supposed to be least painful a week after your period. Make sure to exfoliate about 24 hours after having it done to prevent ingrowns.

I have never been real fond of waxing, I always shave but that has it's own problems. I don't think it's worth the pain unless you have a totally out of control situation "down there" all the alternatives have their own problems, I don't think there is a good solution.

I found that if you clean the area really good with Band-Aid antiseptic cleaning wash...it will numb the area a little...therefore, reducing the pain. It works for me. I also use my Tweeze for small touch-up jobs instead of waxing...it hurts a lot less, with a lot less mess!!! You could also use the spray on Bactrim to help numb the area if you aren't sensitive to it. Just make sure to clean and use something like "Bikini Zone" afterwards to keep away any rashes!

If you can go with a friend. It will take your mind off of the discomfort. I notice that at home , when I am plucking my eyebrows in between waxing, that it is less painful if I do it when I come from the bath or shower. After a body wax, I like to use aloe vera, to help with skin irritation.

Waxing isn't as scary as everyone seems to think it is. I'm an esthetician and my clients are always pleasantly suprised to find that it's not as bad as they expected it to be. If you can find a good esti, you'll be thrilled with the results and it won't be very painful. The pain only lasts for a second if done properly. Remember to exfoliate to prevent ingrown hairs and, for best results, get it done every 4 weeks. After a few visits, you'll barely notice the pain and you'll wonder why you ever shaved or used Nair-like products.

Brazilian wax is NOT as bad as it seems. I wax myself and it takes less than an hour. I notice by using satin smooth residue remover before you place the wax on, helps ease the pain a whole lot. Men enjoy it and so will you. It's much cleaner and easier to maintain. You only need to wax every 3-4 months. It is well worth it, trust me.

I have also done the regular waxing one time, years ago. Yup, that was it, one time. I may be dumb, but I am not stupid! haha! I tried waxing my eyebrows that time. It hurt so bad, I was crying by the time I got halfway throught the first eyebrow! I think wax is like torture. Guess I will stick to shaving! thanks!

I really like a shaving cream called coochie cream and it's mostly found at sex shops and the such websites. It goes on and when you shave it prevents cuts and it reduces all pain because of a minor numbing agent. It also has moisturizers, so once you shave you don't get all dry. It's rather pricy, but it is definitely worth it because a tube will last about 6-9months, depending on usage.

Hello. I recently encountered an allergic reaction to a very expensive brand name lipgloss. My lips broke out with fine bumps and begin to peel reall bad. After I tried to treat it with over the counter products my lips turned dark! And they remained Dark for several weeks. Well I read somewhere that exfoliating your lip with your toothbrush works, and then after you exfoliate to put lemon juice on your lips followed by your favorite lip balm or moisturizer. Well I did that, mixed with prayer, and it worked! lol. I was so excited to have my lips back. It only took this happening to me twice before I realized our lips are very delicate assets, so we should be careful and take care of them!

I got a brazilian last year and it hurt, a lot! When I got in the room, she thought I was doing an eyebrow wax. After the whole stuttering and hand gestures (basically charades because she couldnt understand what I wanted), she understood that i wanted a wax down there. HOW embarrassing because I had to explain what I wanted to get to the GUY receptionist of the spa too. URG. I agree, the spread eagle position was so awkward. Even though it was probably the most awkward thing ever, it PAYS OFF!! Like a babys bottom for like a month!! WOW!! great results. I haven't done it since then because I'v been lazy, but I definitely will before summer starts :)

i like waxing my eyebrows at aveda salons. the wax they use is really nice, and my eyebrows don't get that annoying red/flakey look afterwards. at one time, i had gotten my brows waxed, and went to a party immediately afterwards. i was red-free and feeling fine! but a nastier experience was when i was experimenting with a different salon, and i needed my brows waxed. so the dresser did it, but the wax she used was heated up in the microwave - my brows became scaley, red, and peeled like all heck.

Naturally, I have HUGE eyebrows! But, I cannot afford to have them waxed regularly. My solution: Get your eyebrows waxed every couple of months at your local nail salon (usually around $12) so that they keep a good shape. After that, pluck your eyebrows every couple of days keeping with the mold that the waxing created. Works every time!

I know that those epilady's seem painful but they're AWESOME. For about $25 you can yank all those pesky hairs out. It is painful at first, but the hairs get thinner after you do it a couple of times and before you know it you don't feel anything at all..

"missgirl wrote: During the rest of the year, I have found that the VEET hair removal product is wonderful! Although the tube says only wear it for 3 minutes, I usually keep my application on for 8-10 minutes." Though using Veet maybe ok for bikini waxing DO NOT try to brazilian wax yourself with Veet! Your skin down by your va-jay-jay is thinner and will burn if you use a chemical depilatory. Waxing is definitely the way to go if you want to take off all the hair down there. Your hair grows back softer then if you shave. Take an ibuprofrin 30-40 before waxing or use a numbing spray like GiGi Anesthetic Numbing Spray before you wax for the pain.

Brazilian is definitely worth it. No ingrown hairs, no "5 o'clock" shadow...When I shave the hair grows so fast!! The only problem with waxing is the wait time for the hair to get long enough to wax. It is definitely hard to find a likable waxer that isn't too expensive. My first was $100 at a high end spa. Right before my wedding I found a smaller spa, closer to home, that did it for $50. Well - bad idea!! The girl didn't seem to know what she was doing. She used a wax that hardens and rips off. I still have ingrown hair scars from that. I found a place for $65 that does an excellent job! Just hating waiting (for almost two weeks...) - I look like that ape up there!!

I got a Brazilian wax before a trip to Mexico, and honestly it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. People warned me but other than being sensitive I was fine. It's definitely the way to go if you're too busy to shave all the time because it takes a lot longer to grow back. But I use Personal Care Hair Remover Cream, it moisturizes it's enriched with aloe and it only takes 5 minutes. No cuts, no razor burn, and it takes a few days to grow back & not all stubbly either. I love it, you can either wipe it off or put it on before you take a shower. The best thing is you don't have to moisturize your legs (or the unmentionables) :) because it leaves your skin feeling so soft. Actually, no the best thing is you can find it at the Dollar Store, and you get a huge 5 oz bottle. The stuff really works try it!

I'm too scared to brave a Brazilian so I can't speak to that area, but I'm a recent convert to underarm waxing! It's AMAZING how well it works and how long it lasts...and at least after the first painful (bleeding :) encounter, it DOES get better! The skin toughens up and you get more used to it after a few sessions. I have very sensitive skin so I put a bit of baby powder and light lotion on right after the waxing (NO deodorant for at least the rest of the day) and find that my skin's usually back to normal by the next day or two. I have heard that aloe vera gel can soothe waxed areas, and the azulene oil that comes with most home waxing kits also does a pretty good job of numbing. Good luck! :)

The even more painful truth about waxing, past the pain itself is that there is near nothing that you can really do to go beyond it at all. Though I will say there is a little trick that you could apply before hand to ease your stresses. It's called anal ease from slumber parties, you can find it at www.slumberparties.com/ Just apply to your lady areas and presto! an easier and less painful wax, more than just trying to concentrate elsewhere, there is an actual product that will put matter over mind.

So until they can wax hair out of a fresh shave I'll deal with the occasional razor bumps. Shaving at least once a day is CRUCIAL.

I did a home waxing job about three years ago (hence home waxing preceeded by a bottle of wine) It was so painful I remember that more than I do giving birth. So hats off to all those that can grin and "bare" it!!!

Actually, I've never had a Brazilian, but I wax my bikini line at home on my own. It's really not that bad. The trick is to not let the hair get too long or too short. Too long, and you're gonna have some serious pain because there's too much hair for the wax too properly adhere to. Too short and you have just the opposite problem! I also recommend the cold wax strips versus the stuff you heat up. Chances are you're going to be nervous anyway, no point in putting hot wax into the equation! My advice is to try the cold wax strips that are presized for the face. They are small and easy to handle, and not nearly as scary as some four inch strip! Hope this helps! :)

I started just doing my eyebrows 12 years ago, then 5 years ago I started getting brazilians. Now, I dont even own a razor because I get everything waxed. The first time is quite painful, but less hair grows back each time, and the hair that does grow back does so much finer. I used to shave my legs, arms, and bikini area daily. Now I get them waxed once every 3 weeks or so...and honestly, sometimes you can barely see the hair that does grow back. Before you make any decisions about waxing I would try it 3 or 4 times. If you arent noticing less hair, move on to another method.

Its definitely worth the short lived pain. I would only reccomend that you have an esthetician do it and avoid nail salon "spas". These people dont always know what they are doing and potentially miss hair that should be removed. Estheticians are trained in waxing, facials, etc and tend to have some techniques that make your experience less painful.

I personally think waxing down there isn't worth the pain. I've tried shaving, but that leaves me really itchy for days and since scratching in public is too embarrassing, the itching can be a real problem at the beach. I find that the Nair Bikini Cream seems to work well enough for me that I don't need to shave or wax. However, this may not be the case for everyone because it doesn't get all the hairs. If you're looking for the perfectly smooth and hairless feel, waxing is the only way...even if it is painful!

First of all, it is painful (we all know that!0 secound, you have to let the hair grow out enough for it to work properly (gross) third, it is a huge expense when you add up the cost for every appoinment for THE REST OF YOUR LIFE> I highly recommend laser hair removal for anyone who is a good candidate. Check around, do your research. Make sure the person doing the service is certified properly (each state has different laws) make sure you are a good candidate. Laser works best on fair skin and dark hir. Also, be prepared to commit to about a year of treatments around 10-12 weeks apart. MOst people will see excellent results in 4-5 tretaments, but sometimes need touch-ups after. It no longer has to a very exspensive procedure and it;s fast and easy. Plus it's permanent!

First I have to say if it wouldn't be for waxing I wouldn't get all the complements I do on my legs, I also use an epilator from emjoy it's about $100 @ sharperimage, and totally worth it since I've upgrade from waxing I now thread my eyebrows and lip, wax my underarms or use my emjoy which I can't live without! waxing has become too messy, and my new gadget pays for it's self in two months of hair removal since I do my legs, underarms, and bikini. And two Advils 30 min. before I start my tour de hair removal. It's great!

I hate this endurance test, but I'd rather do it than not. I think anyone sitting across from me at the beach would agree. I know that you should never have it done within 2 weeks of your monthly visitor. You'll be more sensitive. And, always take ibuprofen at least 30 minutes beforehand, so that it'll decrease sensitivity and the swelling when it's finished. I've done this, and it's better than just doing it when the mood strikes.

NO IT ISN'T WORTH IT! That is PAINFUL and it is only two weeks!! I would suggest laser hair removal or just good ole fashion shaving!!! Here is a little secret, if you get bad razorburn take a cotton ball with alcohol and wipe over the shaved area when you get out of the shower/bath! It works!! (just be careful not to get alcohol on any other areas, it really really stings!!) Hope this was helpful. xoxo Coco

I had been getting a brazilian wax for years and then I finally decided to invest my money in laser hair removal. That was my best decision ever! Although I enjoyed going to my spa to get a wax, my skin was always so irritated and ugly after waxing. With laser hair removal, 20 minutes after it's done, I'm hair free and no skin irritation! It's defintely something to invest your money in!

I definitely support it, the hair doesn't grow back for a while. Though when I had my eyebrows waxed, I involuntarily cried because she waxed over my tear duct.... :D

Waxing isn't that painful. I have had my eyebrows waxed before. I was so scared that I started crying but people started to notice me more. Truthfully it was only painful when they put the hot wax on.

The only benefit of having flabby thighs? You have to wear board shorts all summer, so no downstairs waxing,

I love waxing. I've found that when i cant get to the salon that using a mens razor is a good alternative. Since it is designed for facial hair it works well on coarser hair and leaves you less irritated and itchy.
