help! stuck with wax to my thong

44 replies

Waxed my bikini line (AAAGGGGHHHH THE PAIN) but I've got loads of wax residue that I can't get off. Im currently stuck into my thong.
Help, what can I use to get the wax off (that won't damage my new manicure)

Oh dear me, do you have any baby oil?, that should do it.

Just splash some glitter on it and pretend it's abstract art.

SpongeBobJudgeyPants · 04/07/2015 17:21

Try the Palmers.

SpongeBobJudgeyPants · 04/07/2015 17:22

Failing that, a very hot washcloth should melt the wax enough to release you from the thong.

I can get the thong off by bracing and pulling but the residue stays so I get stuck again.
Now im stuck to a flannel.....
Palmers not doing much, I'll pour on more!

Hahahajahaha! Sorry, no words of advice and hope you are wax free soon.

Try some olive oil or sunflower oil if you have it in the kitchen. I find cooking oils get rid of wax a lot better than body oils do.

Hahaha-it gets better!!! Are you going to risk sticking to a dressing gown as well or are you going to wave your flannel suggestively at ocado delivery man?!

FernGullysWoollyPully · 04/07/2015 17:33
Grin

Get in a bath (complete with thong and dangling flannel) and soak it all off!

boobybum · 04/07/2015 17:34

Babywipes.

Firstly position your camera so we all have a good view and press 'record'.
Oh and make sure the sound recording is on.
Take a couple of deep breaths then pull your thong off.
We will be waiting patiently for the results

water

Make sure you have your id ready for the Waitrose delivery. But do not let it get involved with the expanding list of stuck things.

This is why I started sugaring.

Thanks to (£10 worth) olive oil my free from my accessories! But its still sticky. Keep on with the oil or something else?
How so you sugar? Can you just get the DP/DH to clean it off for you if you get stuck?

hairremoval.about.com/od/sugarwaxing/a/wax-vs-sugaring.htm you can make your own or buy some
Hurts just as bloody much, but is water soluble.
I now alternate hairy and shaving.

knackeredknitter · 04/07/2015 17:58

Hahaha, sorry no words of wisdom, but crying here.
Have you tried putting a wax strip on top of the wax and pulling it off?

knackeredknitter · 04/07/2015 18:05

What happened with the Ocado delivery?

knackeredknitter · 04/07/2015 18:05

Sorry, Waitross
