Bikini wax

I'm thinking about going for my first bikini wax. How often do I need to book in? Or is it easier to do it at home? I use Veet but am wondering if waxing is easier. Any suggestions welcome!

Usually book in every 4-5 weeks, hair needs to be length of a grain of rice to successfully wax.
I personally wouldn't recommend doing at home just because I'm such a wimp. Highly recommended hot wax or sugar wax rather than just strips, and choosing a salon that is solely 'hair removal' rather than Jack of all trades.

Omg do NOT do it at home! Go to a hot wax salon

always Gone every 4-5 weeks. The first one can be painful if you’re having a Hollywood, so take some paracetamol beforehand if you’re not good with pain. It doesn’t last long though and the second and subsequent ones are fine.

I second the paracetamol the first and maybe the second time and go for hot wax. I would suggest go monthly and if possible go for somewhere recommended.

Until you get used to them, don’t have sex the same day.

This all sounds very negative but the advantages are worth it.
