Bikini Wax (Page 1)

I had my eyebrows waxed once. I couldn't believe how much it hurt. I don't think I could ever get my bunny waxed. I shave.

sorry your bits are hurt!

I did the bikini wax once and umm yea I will never do that again!! I was red for days.

I just tried waxing my legs once, ouch! The lady rushed through it though, cuz she was in a hury to do someone else and then the wax was poor quality I think..still I dont think I would try it again, I have sensitive skin. Sorry to hear your experience was painful and caused bruising, hope it gets better soon.

I was my eyebrows all the time, and I have done my legs a time or two and nothing compares to the pain I had last night! I don't mind waxing those other things, I dont' think it hurts at all but gosh this sucked!

My mom sent me this in a forward a while back and this post just reminded me of it...enjoy..

Wax is not your friend!

thanks anttm! that was absolutely hilarious!

My stomach hurts so badly now.

That was art!

ha ha lol lmao i cant stop laughing

I get my eyebrows and lip waxed twice a month. It hurts like hell, but it beats bleaching.

the first time i read that, it had me in tears i was laughing so hard..glad you enjoyed it.

I have waxed my legs and arms.... i have blonde hair and in the sun it... umm... blinds me. I had it done days before my wedding.

i don't care how bad it hurts, i'm waxing my hooha!!!!

Oh my goodness that made me laugh so hard, my boss just came in my office to check on me!!!

I have received that one before and I still laughed so hard.

I wax,it seems to hurt more when you do it yourself.let someone else do it! lol after the first few ties if def doesn't hurt as bad!

I'm and .esthitician.

Waxing can and *will* hurt if the waxing procedure isn't done correctly.

They(cosmo. or .esthicican) needs to hold your skin *taught*!!!!
If the skin is loose and then tugged on by the wax/strip you *will* bruise!!!!

Waxing is a procedure done to reduce the amount of hair growing from each follicle(pore that produces hairs).

I'm not going to lie, and say that the experience will be *pleasurable*, but it should not be followed by bruised skin or irritated follicles.

IF possible, use "hard wax"(wax that does *not* involve strips)! Or *insist* that the person conducting the waxing does not wax over the same spot more than *once*!

Lavander oil, or pure baby/mineral oil should be applied after the procedure.

IF you have any questions, you can .p.m about *specific* directions of waxing.

Maybe its me but i've done that brazilian wax, my legs and eye brows and it don't work... but i have NO tolerance to pain... maybe its all up to how sensitive your skin is maybe? i dunno.. or its in your head i know i though it was gunna hurt.. but i was so embarrased having someone looking at my girl i didn't think of the pain

the more you do it the less it will hurt.. And it will not grow back as often ..It's just a matter of doing it on a regular basis..haha i only do it on special occasions and i take lots of pain meds before going in, it also can help reduce the brusing and swelling ..

ouch i dont even want to think about the next time i have to do it when the baby's out..
