A Brazilian bikini wax removes hair from the entire pubic region and the area by your buttocks. The waxer leaves a small, optional patch of hair above the vaginal area.

A bikini wax, I think, just removes the hair just outside your vaginal region. I read that you can ask for a full bikini wax, which would remove most of the hair on your vaginal region. That sounds like a good option for you. Once you find a salon you like, .I would call them up and ask what they offer and how they can accommodate you.

OUCH OUCH OUCH OUCH OUCH...................This post made me squirm! OUCH OUCH OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree. I suggest just telling them exactly what you want, even if you don't know their term for it, that way there's no confusion! I am sure you would not be the first person to just describe what you want.

Waxing really isn't that painful... I personally like how my skin tingles after the strips are ripped off. I don't know. Maybe I'm slightly masochistic

i squirm when i get my eye brows waxed i couldnt imagine my legs any less my vaginal area. i just dont know. i think i would try to see if i could last during a leg waxing before i moved up to my bikini area LOL

the last time i got a wax down there i did not like it at all..i think personallay i could of done a better job at home!!! maybe i did'nt go to a good place..and i though it does'nt grown back for a while it grew back like in to weeks...what was that all abut!!! ;(

When you shave, it will grow back within a day, you'll already feel stubble. When you wax, you shouldn't feel stubble for two weeks, so it sounds like your experience was typical.

it hurts so bad to shave one day and try to keep it smooth so you shave the next day... ouch. i want a wax but im nervous lol

Thanks everyone. I called the place and they said that what I want is called a "L.A" wax. I'm nervous now, but I'm sure it'll hurt less than when I did it myself. It also helps that I booked a back massage for right after, it will be something to look forward to, haha.

I would say just go for it. The waxing was very painful when I did it at home myself, but that was because the wax wouldn't rip off all at once, it would only come off in tiny bits. And I didn't pull it off in the right direction. I had no idea what I was doing!

I'm sure at a salon it'll be a quick sharp pain but after a few minutes it'll be okay. I just don't like the idea of a stranger down there, but I'm sure they do alot of waxing, and they've probably seen as much as a gyno.

I'll let you know how it goes.
