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?

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.

Ahh cool, so i could do the outside and maybe shave the inside. Sorry for hijacking, just very curious. DF and I are interviewing for new jobs, so when we have more $$ I'll go the brazillian every 4-6 weeks

some beauticians will not wax pregnant women. I have been given various reasons for this, from expended blood vessels in pregnancy making it more painful, to a fear of the pain starting labour. Others will do it no problems. You may have to shop around once you start showing.
For the record, even when 40 weeks pregnant a brazillian did not send my pal into labour.

I have DH's old electric razor. I trim everything very short, then shave to g-string shape. Suits me/us just fine.

I had laser about 3-4 times but it was so exxy I couldn't afford to keep it up. It definately thinned things out. I had brazilian and underarms. It cost $285 per session, plus I'd spend $75 every 2 sessions for topical anesthetic (sp). It hurt even with that on, but took about 5 minutes. I had it done in a medical laser clinic with a doctor doing it.
I wish I could go back and get it done more to reduce things further, but can't afford it.
btw - topical anesthetic on the lady bits is so weird.

Go the Brazilian (little landing strip down the front), or the XXX (EVERYTHING gone!). Ive had it done since I was 16 years old (XXX) and love it!!! It doesn't hurt at all (never has me anyway), you kinda have to expect some level of discomfort. oh, sorry just read you've had them! I still say have another go though
However, when preggie I just used a Lady Remington, to keep things trimmed and very short. Well, actually my DP, did, I couldn't see jack from 7 months on!!! I was very pleased at the result! Looks the same, no pain, and probably quicker and easier to do yourself!!
If I could I would laser my 'down south' region though I certainly would!!! Imagine that, a lifetime of no pubes!!! Perhaps I should hit up the family, partner and friends up for a laser voucher and appt as a gift for being an awesome mum, lover and woman!

One of my friends had her DH trim her up before the birth of their baby and apparently he took a little too much off and she said she felt embarassed that perhaps the middies would think she was trying to be prepubesent haha.
I just kept my mouth shut because I'm totally nude down Sth, which got me wondering do most ppl take it all off these days, leave a little landing strip, or just trim the bikini line?
Are the MW and my Doc going to think I'm a freak because I have no hair downstairs? I prefer it and so does DH & a few yrs ago this was what all the girls had, but maybe things have changed.
What do you do?

hahahahaa, babyluv u just reminded me of something....
a VERY long time ago, I was told by a nurse I was working with during a night shift, that a woman who was delivering her baby had a bit of hair that needed to be trimmed.......and when it was gone there was a tattoo on her pubic mound that read' KEEP THE LAWN MOWED...........now forgive me, but thats classic!
Ive got nothin', zip, zero down stairs as well...............and meand DP love it too!!!! I know what you mean about the prepubescent thingy though, takes a little gettin used too

The midwives will have seen everything including lots of hair, no hair, unusually shaped hair, piercings and tattoos. Honestly I'm sure they will not be phased no matter what you look like down south

Traveller is SO SO SO right!!! They're only looking and caring about what's coming out, not whats on the outside alreadyThe midwives will have seen everything including lots of hair, no hair, unusually shaped hair, piercings and tattoos. Honestly I'm sure they will not be phased no matter what you look like down south

I was just thinking i NEED to go and get waxed, my problem is DD2 is so so clingy i'm not sure she would stay with someone even if it is for me to run off for 10min.... hmm wonder if the person would mind a pram in the corner?
I want to get a Brazilian again, had it AGES ago before both the girls and well now lets say it's an untamed jungle and god knows what or who is hiding in there...
