Er - haven't had this done for a few years and I can't remember what the "procedure" is, but I want to keep my knickers on because I'm very shy.

I know, I know, they've seen it all before but I'm .

Yes you can. They just pull your knickers to the side!

You really have to take em off!

I might change my mind on that one.

If you wear a thong, which is easy to pull from side to side, then you can keep them on - prob easier to take off though!

I always keep mine on; it gives a better idea of how much you really need off.

Eek, summer is here again.

Ouch.

I might brave it and just go for the Brazilian.

I've given birth, I've past caring who sees my bits now.

You will need to remove your knickers for a Brazilian. There's no other way to do it b/c they wax the crack and the vulva, save for a small strip of hair over the pubic bone. Sorry to be blunt, but it was designed for women who wear thong swim costumes. So it's pretty intimate.

Sod it.

Pain is beauty after all.

Why have hair there anyway? It's so inconvienient and useless.

And it looks horrid in a thong .

the place I go to gives you paper thong knickers to put on. It actually doesn't hurt as much as you think it's going to. Having said that I've only had a regular bikini wax not a Brazilian

The Brazilian does sting. But it's worth it and after a while the pain isn't so bad.

No paper thong knickers for that one, tho, so leave your modesty at the reception desk.

Speaking from experience Expat?

Never really thought about it until I saw that Sex and the City episode.

I think I'll get it done ready for my big night out at the end of the month

Sure. I had them done since I was 17, long before they were fashionable! Haven't had one in about 4 months - I'm pregnant. But there's nothing like 'em. Really. You'll get hooked.

I had a Brazilian 2 days before delivering DD. But this time . . . I've got piles so I'll need to wait.

Yeah, once you have a Brazilian, you'll have no modesty.

hi puff, there should be some paper knickers for you to wear, if they just tell them you'd prefer to keep yours own. i tend to put some strips at the sides and tops if client wants to keep them on.
