Just had my first Brazilian....eek

[Barbayagar]

Not quite as relaxing as my usual massage. Or dignified. And pretty damn painful. I didn't know it was possible to have every body part tensed up, including jaw, but I can confirm it is!

How often does it need to be done? I am scared to look at it now so am unsure if I like it or not!

What is a Brazilian? surely not the hair treatment?!

Well I'm sorry to say having hair ripped out of you is never a comfortable experience lol 😂

With regards to upkeep every 4-6 weeks depending on how fast your hair grows really. Before you book in again I'd make sure you like the look of it first though!

I go every four weeks.

Arrrh. Every 6 weeks would suit me just fine. I actually have a high pain threshold but it was tough going! If you have it done regularly does the hair grow thinner and sparser? fingers crossed.

I’m a beauty therapist. Did you jave hot wax or strips? Hot wax is much less painful. If you can find a salon that uses Lycon Pinkini wax we use s pre wax oil before applying the wax. It makes the wax just stick to the hair not the skin.

I had strips. Think I'll go for hot wax next time. The Lycon stuff sounds great, thanks.

Another beauty therapist here. Hot wax is definitely better than strip for areas such a bikini line/ Brazilian/Hollywood.
It should be slightly easier pain wise every time you have it done.

Every 5/6 weeks here and it does seem to be getting more sparse but that took a while (a year or so!)

Definitely go for hot wax - strips hurt like a bitch!

Zigazagazoo, is that because you slowly lose all feeling down there?

Never had one. Don't you spend most of your time at an in-between regrowth stage before you can have it done again?

@Quangot, not sure, but that does sound a bit pointless! I guess I will find out.

It definitely becomes more sparse as time goes on.
My legs have massive patches where nothing grows now.. it's fab

I really really want to be professionally waxed everywhere (bikini line, legs etc) so the hairs become finer, but I just can't overcome my acute embarrassment. I'm a size 18, but working on losing weight.

Honestly Radio I'm a 16/18 too. It's fine, don't be embarrassed they are professionals and have seen it all!

I’m roughly at 8 weeks between waxes now and it takes less time. Still hurts but I’m a fan of pain medication before I go.

I go every 4 weeks and have Lycon hot wax. I don't feel it any more after 18 years of going regularly

I always take a couple of paracetamol before I go.
Also, don't go if you're due a period - much more painful

Bucking the trend, I actually find strip wax less painful! That's just for standard bikini though, not Brazilian.

May I politely ask about the current state of your 'minge' area? Can you walk :-) ?

I find hot wax way less painful. Don’t go near period! Gets much easier over time.

I can’t believe there are beauticians out there who would use strip wax for a Brazilian! Ouch!!!!

I can walk! Minge is not loving me right now though, rather tender and needs some TLC.

Oh Christ I loved the results but I'm hyper sensitive to hair being ripped out, legs look like I've been rolled in nettles and each pore looks a bit bruised for days after and my foof gets so swollen I look like I have some pretty large condones and I feel like I've been kicked in it for a good week or so. I persevered for a whole year and the regrow then became pretty sparse but then I decided I needed to just love my foof as she is because the hair removal thing is just traumatic to me

Wear loose pj's op.. let the air get to it
It'll be fine by the morning

So after a couple of week you get 6 0 clock shadow?
