Answer 1

Take a panadol / nurophen an hour or half an hour beforehand.
Rip the strips off as quickly as possible - no hesitation!
Make sure you have the skin pulled taut.
Put your hand FIRMLY on the just waxed area immediately.
And don't do it when your period is due, your skin is much more sensitive then. Good Luck!

Answer 2

I've heard that exfoliating first or cooling the area with ice works but to be honest I doubt very much it does. Just use the pre waxed strips you can buy and do it! It hurts like hell but only for the first few times. After that you get used to the pain and the results are well worth it! No more shaving rash and stubble yay!!

Answer 3

if i was you i would nt give up on shaving,let the hair on your legs grow for 1/2 weeks when the hair as grown shave once washed, then moisturise once you have dabbed them dry. to wax you have to let the hair on your legs grow anyway, and you have to do this on the same patch more than once, this sometimes can be abbrasive to your skin, if you dont like my first idea then try dipletary cream you would of seen this on adverts on telly, where you wipe on leave a few minutes then wash off, but if you think your legs look bad from shaving its just the same to waxing them, you are over doing the shaving, and you probabley will on the waxing, so where some trousers for while untill you are ready to shave wax or what you choose, and always moisturise.

Answer 4

Don't DIY this job !!! Go to a good salon, especiall if its your first time. Tell them your fears. You could take a couple of painkillers about 1 hour before the treatment. Its perfectly safe provided you have taken the painkillers before for headache or period pain. And the most important thing is TRY TO RELAX. Do breathing exercises....its really not so bad once you get over the first strip...

Answer 5

Try using wax stips, veet is a good one! Waxing shouldnt hurt at all anymore, not with all the new pain free methods! And if the strips seem to hurt also, consolt someone in the salon for tips or even a special wax if they do it!

Answer 6

if you think waxing is bad try the epilator good lord i was crying. Stick to the razors honey its best. Just make sure you put lots of moisture cream after. By the way had my top lip waxed once i swear i saw angels waiting for me. Now ive got to like the magnum moustache.

Answer 7

It actually depends on the person doing the waxing. Some really don't know how. But you just have to get used to it coz it really does hurt. The more you do it, the less pain you get.

Answer 8

Smoke some fine Marijuana a few minutes prior to the waxing, follow it with a couple of whisky chasers and you won't care whether it hurts or not.

Answer 9

The more you do it the less it'll hurt, just like having sex, it hurt the very first time but then, u got used to it! Good Luck

Answer 10

Ouch! It gives me the jibblies just thinking about it. I tried to wax my bikini zone once. I had to stop half way through cuz of the pain. So one half was covered in hair, and the other was all bloody and waxy. EEEEK!
