Brazilian Bikini Wax

Clairey - How'd it go????

 

[rocknrollgoddes]

just as an aside.

not being judgemental here...these are your choices, and i tend to notice that younger folks are more interested in waxing off their pubic hair than older folks....but a few things to keep in mind.

the hair on the pubis is there for a reason--its dry lubrication for the rubbing of the pubic bones together---without the hair, and with razor stubble there is a HUGE chance of contracting STD if that is present--even using a condom. The genital skin has an almost 100% absorption rate for fluids--so, unless you KNOW for sure your partner doesnt have ANYTHING--its best to keep your hair on.

secondly--the hair is there to absorb and hold in your pheromones so that you are sexually stimulating to a mate. Without the pheromones a male is less likely to long term bond with a female partner. Women also tend to be hyper hygenic in the vaginal area, and use excessive perfumes or sprays to remove the feminine scent--this also detracts from mate bonding.

Additionally--women who are hyper hygenic and shave all their private parts and have mates that also shave have a much decreased chance of becoming pregnant than partners who have pubic hair and do not use excessive deoderizing products.

I am not sure if folks realize this stuff when they shave--we are supposed to have hair--we are supposed to smell like women...thats the way sex works. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> we are also supposed to look like a woman, not a little girl--but thats a societal thing that came out of pornography--it was taboo...now all these guys see it on the net and want their girl friends that way--and since girls think its cleaner--they do it...

just some thoughts. from a 40 year old women who has most of her hair /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> again--its your choice, but i want you all to have ALL the facts.

wow ... never knew all this .. .although ... my mom would kill me if she knew i wasted money on brazillian waxes ..... :w00t:

It went great! My therapist was really good, and made me feel completely unembarassed. There was a TV on the wall which I was watching, plus chatting to the girl, and so I didn't really notice the pain. The only bit that hurt a little more was when she did the lips. Also, she used hot wax (not warm wax with strips) which I much prefer, it seems to grab just hair, not skin!

Now I am on a mission to get rid of any ingrowns, cos it makes it look not as nice as it should. Can't wait to show the boyf (I'm meeting him in Thailand on Friday!! ).

I'm glad I took the plunge and tried it out :icon_smil

I offer these treatments - Loads of clients have it done. But I tend to do more male clients for a Hollywood (all off in the UK).

i think the pain of shaving is worse. that pain continues for several days with the itching and regrowth process. with the wax it's somewhat painful that day, but the next day you'll be smooth, hair free and painless for about 2-3 weeks. you can't beat that!

 

[redspiralz]

Hard waxes are wonderful becuase you can actually go over the waxed area again to get any missed hairs. When you use a strip wax you genreally can't do that becuase you risk excoriation.

Genreally I can't wait long enough for the hair to grow on the "lower" part to do the wax, but I do wax the "upper" part becuase I hate ingrowns.

I've always wanted to do a brazilian but I just dont have the nerve !

I use shaving cream and men's sensitive razors and seem to get a good smoothnes down there. Mostly I leave the strip but every now and then I dare to do it all ( ok VERY rarely lol )

Oh and I'm 8 months pregnant right now....lets just say I havent even seen "down there" in about 4 months!! LOLOL

Thanks for posting the info, Kee & xeniba!

 

[kaeisme]

I am tooooooooooo much of a wus..LOL It would take more than Ibuprofen to get me to have one. I would have to have consious sedation.:icon_eek:

 

[FlyyBrownGirl]

dngreenwood....I might have to take that plunge too...I did waxing once and it hurt, hurt, hurt...but I probably wont start until I can keep it up...so that way it will be less hair than the first time...

It's funny to see people discussing about brazilian wax ... Actually it removes so much hair (to you people) because of the size of a brazilian bikini... It's tiny, at the front and at the back ... I suggest using local anaesthesia for doing this... j/k...I don't do it unless i HAVE to , like summer vacations, since it's painful /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> And i don't know if it's true the fact that hairs are down there to prevent STD.

 

[Lia]

What an exaggeration ! Does anybody really really need all of that?

 

[pinkbundles]

well, i personally have never gotten it myself, but i've had bikini waxes and it was painful but not as painful as one might think...that or my esthetician was really good! lol. seriously, though, i think you'll be fine. good luck and i hope your bf likes it!

 

[Angie2006]

apparently Brazilians are a hot topic this time of year....saw this on another board:

:laughing:

 

[latina girl]

fire69 that was too funny. I have done a Brazilian wax myself but it took me well over 2 hours. It didn't hurt too much but I have a high pain threshold. I do it every few months but not regularly cause it takes too long. I am too embarressed to go let someone else do it.

SORRY about hijacking this interesting thread, but I just wanted to correct some things.

um yes the higher risk of STD transmission sounds possible, but you´re not gonna find any valid proof of that theory anywhere and therefore nobody should be scared of STDs just because they decide to remove their pubic hair!

yes, the genital (internal!) mucosa tissue has a high absorption rate, but the regular skin on your pubic bone is just like any other skin. even with razor burn and minor razor cuts and stuff it´d only be more likely to transmit genital herpes, genital warts and stuff compared to somebody who has all their pubic hair. don´t wanna go into detail here with other STDs

pheromones are being produced in the apocrine perspiratory glands which open out into the hair follicles (in armpits, anogenital area, around the nacvel and nipples etc) so even if the hair is ripped out by waxing the hair follicle is usually still intact so the pheromones are still being released

and...women who shave and have partners that shave have a decreased chance of getting pregnant? LOL explain where you got that from!!!!!

the obsessive hygiene part is true though, it can lead to vaginal infections which over the course of years can lead to being infertile

so...waxing is definitely not a big health risk!!! :satisfied:

 

[mintesa]

im woundering. what if you have really course hair. is it ever possible that, when the waxing rips off your hair, the hair will rip off the skin with it? like the wax would end up with hair and skin? is it possible?

that's actually my only fear. pain i can take. but i always imagine the skin rips off too... i have to wild imagination... :wassatt:

What a coincidence, todays topic on the Tyra Show was STD's. The audience was really surprised to learn that so many women are contracting STD's from waxing. The problem is cross contamination. The waxer repeateldy dips into the vat of hot wax for numerous people. Therefore, it contains many germs. :wassatt:
