Let's get personal and go south of the border......

I would love to get a brazillian but am too scared! I know they do them all the time but can't even bring myself to make the appointment. Although my cousin is a beauty therapist and says it's like nursing, they don't even notice what they're looking at.
I have a little mini electric shaver that I use. So it's not bald but is quite short. I've heard that even if you don't keep going for waxing every 6 weeks the hair grows back thinner and softer the more you wax.

I gotta say I reckon I'd be useless with getting waxed, I'd probably kick the poor girl in the face lol. So mine's just shaved - DH actually does it for me, he loves it hehe

One time we did try those bikini wax strips. NEVER AGAIN!!! Oh the pain... Was quite hilarious though! He got a little bit off, but wax managed to stay on my 'bits'. The deal was if he got to do me, I got to do a little of him. Now that was funny! We picked a least sensitive spot, but still

One word - LASER!!

OK, so you're gonna have to tell us more than that Rory. When, how did you know which place to go to, how much did it cost, how many times did you have to go back, etc?

Also - what's the difference between Nair and Veet, and more importantly is there a hair removal wonder product that doesn't involve PAIN of any sort near your foofie (thanks Tanstar).

The wax isn't that bad...a well trained beautician can get it done in less than 10 minutes. There's a place here where you can pay big dollars to get it done in 5 minutes!

I used to get a wax every 4 weeks - same as legs and eyebrows - when I was earning well, but now I use hair removal creme. Have never had a problem with it...just don't leave it on for longer than the directions say otherwise you'll burn your skin.

Can I ask (since we're all being honest lol) what about the inside bits, like inside the labia etc, is that still okay, or do you just not put cream there. I find I can shave as it's pretty much growing back 12 hours later So cream seems an easier alternitive. Also, anyone know if it's preggy safe?

[angelaartsstudent]

No, def not on the inside.

It's not as effective as waxing as you don't get the inside bits, but looks fine from the outside :-P

Yeah, shaving annoys me to no end - stubble and etc. Bah.

From personal experience, keep the cream away from the labia and other delicate bits. It BURNS and then upsets the PH balance giving you a lovely dose of thrush. Just what you want when you have gone to all the trouble of defuzzing only to be off limits until you heal.
