Hey I never even thought of that, but if that's where your mind is at, that's your buisness.

ha ha, this thread is great! i am definitely a fan of the brazilian and i think the pain is totally worth it, but that is just my opinion. if you've never regularly waxed any part of your body at home before, then my advice is to get it done by a professional at a salon. they will be able to do it faster than yourself, minimzing the number of times you scream out in ungodly pain. the good thing is that it definitely hurts less with repeated waxings (whether that's because you get used to it, or you're killing nerve endings, i don't know. . .).

if you want to try doing it yourself, there's a wax that surgiwax makes just for brazilians. it sticks to the hair, not to the skin. i use it when i don't have money to go to the salon.

This is all very good advice. Has anyone heard of the "No Scream Cream"? It's suppose to numb you down there? I wonder if it works.

nope, i've never heard of that . .i was looking on drugstore.com though, and apparently the surgiwax product i was talking about just incorporated some "numbing antiseptic" into their package. here's a link they never had that before! not sure if it works well, but i do know that this wax is 800 times better than the usual kind that you rip off with strips. now THAT is a form of archaic torture.

*edited to say that they apparently now have stencils too!

This thread is making me horny!!

Not really.

I have to jump in on this thread -

TMI? Hey, Bikechic started it!

I've never had a wax - and for me personally, I don't like the totally bald thing cuz I think it makes the popo look like chicken skin - but every once in awhile, especially in the summer, I'll go all bare...

The landing strip - Well, being a Jewish girl, I can't tolerate the Hitler moustache landing strip, so I go for more of a triangle mohawk thing...

As for tips on shaving and maintaining: Maybe some of you already know, or maybe this will help: If you loofah that area often, especially before shaving, it will help w/ those pesky ingrown hairs. I always use a brand new razor and shaving cream (never soap) and as soon as I get out of the shower, I apply my eye gel "down there." It's got aloe vera in it and it's very soothing. I then put vitamin E oil on top of that.

That surgiwax, stencil kit sounds interesting!

Edit: Remember when Samantha on Sex and the City grew hers out because her bf "liked a full bush?" LOL And then she tried to dye it cuz she found a gray pube and it came out bright red. She was mortified, and showed it to Carrie, "I'm Bozo the Bush!"

That sounds like the cream. More and more I think I'm leaning towards getting it done professionally. I would hate to go through all that hassle and pain and then miss a hair.

I would go w/ a pro. Jeez- some of the positions I get myself in w/ the hand mirror, to make sure I haven't missed a spot! NOT pretty!

Dreammms · #70 08-29-2005, 10:55 PM

I keep mine smooth because I like how it feels not because I want to be a like a "little" girl. I just feel cleaner and less itchy without the hair.

I also would never ever use a maxi pad. Only a tampon. I find maxi pads gross IMO.

I know TMI.

That was hilarious! I love Samantha. I miss that show.

Okay.

I quit looking at this thread and then it got to the point where I'm not sure if I can look at it.

Some questions...Are y'all referring to legs at all or mainly...there? And if you're referring to the latter, do I want to offer my input or share personal stories/trauma?

Also, why is it that the Veet commercials make it look like a tamer version of Nair or something? From watching the commercials, I always assume that stuff doesn't do squat. I don't think Nair is always a guarantee, either.

As for the waxing, I have never tried that on any part of my body. It really scares me. I've heard horror stories, and now I have some from this board to add to my mental list.

Also, Josh, that comment about girls not wanting to have racoons between their legs truly grossed me out. Thank you. That being said, when I look at a magazine like Playboy, I am NOT turned on by those women who look like they just started growing pubic hair. That does nothing for me. As Lux said, they look like they're twelve or something. I was about twelve the first time I saw Playboy, actually. My brother had quite a collection of magazines. I remember being thorughly confused when looking at the pictures. I actually said to my brother, "These women aren't as developed as I am." He grabbed the magazine out of my hand and exclaimed, "They certainly are more developed than you are! You don't understand!" But at the time, it never occurred to me that people would shave that.
