I am plus sized and have never had a problem...just go to a professional place, not a gross chain beautician. I went to one once, she let me into the room and there were cotton strips with wax, hair and BLOOD, ALL over the room. I was grossed out...and that's from someone who is usually *never* grossed out!

You get what you pay for, I find.

There's a place in Perth that charges something like $80 but garuntees (pfft poor spelling today!) to get a XXX style one done in 5 minutes or less. Waxing is all they do.
