Brazilian waxes - what do they do?

[xXHopeXx]

I'm wanting to get one, but I'm curious as to what actually gets waxed, I *think* I remember reading a thread AAAGGEESS ago about this, but I can't find it.

Where do they wax? Do they wax part of your legs? Do they really wax your crack?

TIA ladies

Basically the entire groin area and yes, your crack too if you want it done They'll generally ask if you want your 'behind' done so you don't have to do it if you don't want or don't feel comfortable. I personally feel better having the whole lot done though.

Your legs aren't done but the bikini line definitely is.

HTH!

[xXHopeXx]

Thanks taurean!! I thought that was the case, but I thought I remembered reading somewhere they do part of your leg at the top too, so I'm glad that's all clarified same with the crack too

I looked online and everywhere said "it varies so much, bla bla bla" and I didn't think it'd vary that much! Lol

Lol! They shouldn't vary at all really. A true Brazillian is simply a bald ginny!

I never thought I'd get one but had my first done about 6 years ago and was pleasantly surprised how good it felt (not during it, lol!). I don't get it done as often these days but only because now kids are on the scene, I don't have as much free time to spend at the beautician and would prefer to get a massage instead!

Some places differentiate between X, XX, Xxx etc. i dont really know what that means. I think I'm a XXXX - all off except a landing strip (because that part hurts like a biatch). Some provide paper g-strings. I dont bother. The legs in the air as they wax the behind has to be one of the most undignified poses I've done, but I figure it's a bit like giving birth - pick your dignity up as you're leaving well, apart from picking out tiny bits of left over wax from your crack....

If you try it, go to a place that does it all the time. The last thing you want is someone inexperienced down there.

Which is a philosophy that could be applied in so many other applications

at bald Ginny! I've never had one before, but I thought there's no time like the present seeing as I'm going in for a pamper package today anyway.

Wish me luck!! :S lmao

glad you told me about that position!! I might have thought something was sus!

The different X levels might be what people were talking about on the interned.

I'm nervous about how much it'll hurt!! Lol. DH better appreciate it, that's all I can say! Lol!

Oooh good luck!!

The first time is the worst but it gets much easier from then on. I went to B.razillian B.utterfly when I was having them done & they were fantastic. So professional & fast, I think they cost a little more but I was petrified so I would have paid anything

Can't wait to hear about it! Also, if you can get a tea tree moisturiser they are fantastic for soothing your bits afterwards!

There are a variety of ways they do it, if you go for the xxx version they do every little bit of hair from the top of your hooha to the top of your crack, my wonderful lady will even pluck out the hairs that are missed by the waxing.

I've only ever had the xxx versions so can't tell you about the others.

[Taurean]

PMSL about the 'position' for the crack wax L&B!! I have only ever rolled onto my side and assisted the beautician by holding up my saggy ass cheek so she can get in there easier!

Good luck hon! It's quite amazing how good it feels - afterwards. And I'm sure your DH will love it!

[Taurean]

Sopdet - there's nothing quite like someone taking to your nether regions with a pair of tweezers, hey

Hahahaha!!!! Oh god the mental images I'm having of what's awaiting me this afternoon!! Lol!!

Try it whilst heavily pregnant with severe SPD - Rolling on to all fours then spreading. Talk about awkward

The tweezers! Not the tweezers!

Hope - they also usually provide a packaged wipe cloth. It's considered a kindness to use it before the wax

[BlackRose]

Brazillian waxes are the best... once you get that first one out of the way and get it done regularly, they really are easy to get through... Even when pregnant they don't hurt as much... the hubs loves it and I feel cleaner down there..

And yeah, I agree.. it's like giving birth, your dignity goes out the window.. once you find someone you're comfortable with it's great!

But, my advice is to wash with an antibacteria soap for the first week, and do light exfoliation after around the 2nd or 3rd day after you get it done and the area has had a chance to heal a little... ingrowns are the worse down there..

OMG girls that turned out to be the most funniest thread i have read in ages i had tears laughing so much )

[Miss_Dee]

It's been awhile since I've had it done and it makes me sad! Seeing a good beautician is a MUST! The girl I saw in Sydney was amazing, but then the one I saw in Adelaide was terrible. Very painful and missed a few spots. Have had somewhere recommended though so I might try it out. Want to start getting my legs done too so I don't have to worry about shaving when this baby bump is too big to do anything!

On the subject of it being undignified, not sure if there is anything worse than being in a class (I studied beauty therapy and we had to wax each other to practice) and the teacher using you to demonstrate to the other 8 girls how it's done

[Butterfly Dawn]

Roflmao i have always wondered about the positions.
Silly question but... is it as painful as i think it would be?

It is and it isn't.
Some parts are a bit ouchy- the more times you get it done, the less it hurts.
