slightly cringing but is EXPAT around? Need to ask about a brazilian and she seems an authority...

[pardon]

Is this the right place to post?

i'm here.

and yes, i do my own Brazilians now - with the help of a mirror now i'm pregnant.

I do my own too......don't find it painful.

and yes, a proper Brazilian removes ALL the hair, including the outer lips and the bum crack, leaving a 'landing strip'.

you are amazing! right - i searched the archives and you kept coming up hence the question. i went for a brazilain yesterday and am really pleased with the result but they didn't take it all of the underneath if you now what i mean, all off the front apart from strip and most underneath - have i had a brazilian?

HTF can you do your own brazilians?

I shave into a rough brazilian as well as trim the erm remaining fuzz although at 34 weeks pregnant was doing it mostly from memory in the shower tonight.

well, let's put it this way, a Brazilian is designed so you can wear a thong bikini bottom and see no hair.

so if there's any hair sticking out anywhere, they need to get it all off for it to be a Brazilian.

well, you stand over a large mirror.

then you prop one leg up, straddling the mirror.

then you apply the wax, then the strip, then go.

ok expat you said the said the words - not all off the lips - she said that was a hollywood, but to be honest i was ready for a break!

I do my own too - I use a razor (that sounds a bit frightening doesn't it?). It's easy though - sit on the side of the bath. You don't need a mirror, you can just feel your way!

What/Where is the landing strip?

DA - no feel free to join in! Expat, To be fair even if i did wear a thong i don't think you could see anyhting but i feel a bit cheated, i thought it was literally all off downstairs

Landing strip is just at the front. Underneath is hair free.

a hollywood is no hair. none.

the landing strip is right where the triangle of hair should be. except it's just a vertical strip.

but - i took your advice from archived threads and took a painkiller and i love my therapist so it was fine. And I was on my period and she was great - I thought about you the whole way through - which is slightly weird as i have no idea who you are

I used to get mine done at a lovely place in London at £45 a time this was preDC when I had money and a life. Loved the clean feeling it gave you, once I can see my fanjo again may give it a go.

mix a little tea tree oil with some jojoba oil if you are experiencing ingrown hairs and apply it to the area.

you can use TendSkin but it's going to sting a bit.

but i promise you won't get ingrown hairs with TendSkin.

a good therapist will knock any embarrassment you have out the window.

this is their JOB and they see this all the time.

like a midwife or a doctor.

it's just bits.

What wax & strips do you use if I may ask? And for how long are you hair free? Shaving is just a day really...

my therapist uses hot wax which i think is better - it goes on like chewing gum and they just whip it off. but expat (i feel like i'm begging) if i still have hair on the lips is it not a brazilian?

i use strips from Sally's Beauty Supply and i order the wax online:
