Oh my God. What’s scary is I think a Brazilian wax would be even more painful. I have always thought that anyone who had a Brazilian wax is nuts. My hairdresser is trying to increase her clientele for bikini waxes. I am very disturbed in general by people who a)cause serious pain to people’s genital regions for money and b) advertise that fact on a billboard.

I use something called a finishing touch; I think it’s from ivillage; it pulls the hair out but somehow it doesn’t hurt. Of course, I only get rid of what I need to so I can wear a swimming suit; I don’t try to get rid of it all.

I have to admit I speak as a man who has tried shaving, waxing, depilitory cream, abrasion and epiliation.

In defence it was only because I used to do drag regularly – Is that a defence? Ok then it’s my excuse…

The only one that ever made me wince was epilation, but being a man I have never had to wax my bikini line and from your description I am most thankful that I was born a man.

But when it comes to legs wax is the only way – Ladies can’t help but check how far up you’ve waxed

Oh. My. Gawd.

I am laughing so hard it is difficult to type. Not at the experience, but at your magnificently humorous recollecting of it! Frankly, I’ve given up. I will never go Brazilian. Nothing south of the border – LOL Here’s something for you to look forward to though…as you age, the hairs get thinner, more wiry and grayer. My twat looks like Einstein’s head now – bwa-ha-ha!
(I occasionally use scissors for a close trim – LOL)

I’m glad to know about Nads. I’ve watched that infomercial and wondered. OMG. It bleeds? I’m such a wuss.

Once, I did that. The sound reminded me of what it sounds like when you un-velcro something.

HAHAHAHAHA! Yes it does bleed! I remember the first *and last* time I waxed down there. The blood and the shooting blinding pain made me realize that bikini hair was just gonna have to stay LMAO!

First time commenter (love the blog by the way – link to you off of my own)…

I’ve lived through the Brazilian and I have to tell you, it hurts like a MF’er and it bleeds a fair bit. (My esthetician actually had the balls to tell me to stop being such a baby while she was riping the hair from my bits. I would have bashed her head against the wall but I couldn’t see straight for all the pain!)

Afterwards it’s kind of neat and the hubby got a weird kick out of it but…I’m not sure if I would go there again any time soon!

I have an old post I haven’t restored yet about my first experience with Consuela, the cootchie torturer.

It gets easier and less painful. You also start going less and less because it starts not growing back and what does grow back is like the fuzzy hair on a baby’s bum. (do babies have fuzzy bums?)

Plus, at first it’s only every 6–8 weeks, which isn’t too bad. although the 2nd time is worse than the first because now you’re expecting the pain. anticipation IS everything.

Don’t use hard wax at home ever! You’ll glue your parts together and end up using a quart of crisco oil to get rid of it.
