Brazilian wax - slightly terrified

10 replies

Only ever had bikini waxes before a beach holiday, but decided to go whole hog and get a Brazilian.
Can someone explain what will happen??? I know this is utterly ridiculous

It’s painful but by the time you’ve sworn a few times in your head or out loud they’re on to the next bit and it doesn’t hurt any more. It took me 20 years to pluck up the courage and I wish I’d done it years ago. It’s so worth it.

It was fine! Obviously a bit stingy in places but over really quickly

I’ve also never had one but considering.

HOWEVER. I have a raised mole down there, on the front of my labia. I’ve always had it.

I’m guessing waxing over that is a no no?

I reckon they’d be able to wax around then tweeze the stragglers

I’m not brave enough to get the full bush waxed off and nor do I want to but I had a bikini line wax for the first time about a week ago. It honestly wasn’t as painful as I expected and am very happy with the results. No more being self conscious about any hairs poking out my swimsuit. If you don’t mind keeping the hair and you’re only worried about the parts on the side that are at risk of showing in a bikini then just get bikini line wax!!

I have a raised mole too, wax around and then tweeze anything left. It's not a problem

The bikini wax is one of the most painful parts anyway so it's not much worse. Just embarrassing when they do the bum crack!

Used to get these 20 years ago at uni, didn't know they were still a thing tbh!

I used to do this then felt weirded out by looking pre pubescent. Bikini line and a trim is my go to now. I don’t miss the pain.

Bum? Oh god is this how I realise I probably grow hair there too and should tidy it up 😂. Never occurred to me that we also get hair there. I’ll have to get them to sort that when I get waxed again.

I don't get why people don't just use (sensitive) hair removal creams at home?! I'd hate going to a salon and stripping off...
