I used to get mine done professionally all the time pre children....The pain is not too bad, there are worse things in the world, but it is not pain free. I like the idea of the nurofen charmalea!!!

They recommend shaving it all off at home two weeks before you want it done and then going to the salon with a two week growth for the first time as this is the perfect length to wax it with or I'm guessing you could just trim to that length if you didn't want to wait...

You've inspired me to go and get a profeesional wax, it's a great feeling once it's done..

Be brave...you won't know if you don't go....
Good Luck
