Would you ask you DH to brazilian wax you?

I want to try and do a brazilian wax. I have the supplies but should i wax myself and surprise my husband in bed...or have him help me wax. It would super fun and hilarious for us to do it together, but I think he would fall even more madly in love with me if I surprise him. What would you do?

I would not. Do either of you have experience in waxing?

Lt2018 · 22/06/2018 05:17

I wax my friends and family members for years. Its more facial waxing though. I am just kind of scared. I am not embarrassed or anything like that, I am a pretty open individual and love new experiences.

Bikini waxing is even more excruciating when attempted at home. Not sure I'd call nearly losing a flap "super fun and hilarious". 😕

What would I do?

Loosen the purse springs, and get a professional to do it.

TheDowagerCuntess · 22/06/2018 05:33

strings, even.

“Super fun” and “hilarious” aren’t really words I’d use to describe waxing.

nogooddeedgoesunpunished · 22/06/2018 06:01

Hell no

It’s all good fun until somebody loses a flap

I don't think you’ll be able to do it yourself. It bloody hurts for one and unless you have nerves of steal I don't think you’ll be able to do it. Also it’s so important that everything is waxed properly and in the right direction so that you don't get ingrown hairs and lumps and bumps (not sexy). Go to a professional. I’ve had it done (years ago) and it felt nice afterwards but like all waxing, it grows back so you need it done regularly to keep on top of it. I honestly couldn't be bothered with the pain and hassle now so just trim but if you fancy it, give is a whirl but my advice is to definitely pay a professional!

restingbemusedface · 22/06/2018 06:08

There’s a reason why most people who get their fanjos waxed pay for a professional to do it

The age of romance is truly dead 😣

Sleephead1 · 22/06/2018 06:34

I did a beauty course when I left school I didn't finish it because u was a daft teenager but I did cover the waxing parts you need to be really careful and hold tbe area really tight otherwise the skin can be really damaged when you pull the was off. In all honestly I would let a professional do it as if anything goes wrong on tbat area it would be incredibly painful

Soloooo · 22/06/2018 06:36

Has he had any training?

Levithecat · 22/06/2018 06:46

I did it myself for years. It’s messy, undignified, and incredibly painful. Generally requires the skills of a contortionist, about ten hours, and a mirror pointed at your fanjo for the duration.
Had my first professional one last month because I’m pregnant and it was a revelation. Worth every single penny.

Why would he fall even more in love with you because you've waxed your fanny? Confused

RosyfingeredDawn · 22/06/2018 06:50

Hmm
Roomba · 22/06/2018 07:13

Oh christ, I can't imagine what could go wrong! Grin

I'd probably end up in A&E covered in wax and missing skin if I did this...

The winter nights must just fly by Hmm

DianaT1969 · 22/06/2018 08:13

Absolutely go for it OP! Have a bottle of wine together before you delve in and don't forget to reciprocate the favour by waxing his torso and groin immediately after your fanjo.
I'm surprised more of us don't do these hilarious and fun activities with our partners. Non-professional and fun tattoos next week?

Aprilshouldhavebeenmyname · 22/06/2018 08:16

Not wax but Veet - on my exh balls.
accidentally left it in too long and his balls were red raw and he couldn't walk!!

teta · 22/06/2018 09:33

Not unless I was into S&M.

Just remembered the extremely hairy guy at work who did a sponsored chest and back wax for Comic Relief. He fainted halfway through and had to go home after being checked over by first aiders...
