hope this is ok to post here. I’m not a troll, I’m a longtime poster who has name changed (MN can verify!)
basically I’ve decided to go for my first body waxing session- I’ve had eyebrows etc before but not intimate waxing. I’ve been wanting it for a while but just kept putting it off and I’ve decided enough is enough and I’m going to get a Hollywood wax.
ive got hormone issues and it has given me excessive body hair and I hate it so much. Shaving lasts a day at most and no matter what I use the results are never great, hair removal cream doesn’t work, and I can’t afford laser or anything like that. I also play a lot of sports and wear shorts and while I understand some people are fine with body hair, that’s absolutely fine but I personally don’t want it and i want to see if waxing gives better results
but im just so, so scared. I don’t even know why, im just embarrassed about someone seeing down there and im so self conscious. I’m also scared about the pain levels as I’ve heard it’s excruciating- I tried waxing myself but really struggled because of the pain and kept doing it too slowly because I was scared to do it quickly but I think I ended up just making it hurt more!
does anyone have any advice on how to get past the initial embarrassment and also how to deal with the pain? I’ve not been for a smear test so am not used to this sort of thing, the only similar thing I’ve had was colonoscopies where I was so drugged up I was basically on another planet hence no embarrassment 😅
thanks in advance x
