Best friend want to get a bikini wax.....ok gals, how BAD is it??

Answer 1

The pain is overrated. Seriously.

The pain lasts for a second, doesn't linger at all (your skin is pretty resilient to pain). If you can get used to the pain of waxing your legs and underarm then you can definitely get used to this.

Hair has to be about 1cm (0.5 inch) in length. Make sure the beautician uses wax that will harden and NOT strip wax that they typically use on legs. Wax that hardens will get a better grip on the hair so it reduces the chances of the beautician having to re-wax the same area if the first try missed hair (and re-waxing the same area could cause bruising).

I think the BIGGER issue people have is being comfortable while naked from the waist down in front of someone else.

1. Try and be comfortable with the person doing the waxing.
2. You do not need any painkillers (unless you REALLY can't take ANY kind of pain). If you want, you can buy an anaesthetic cream from a pharmacy apply it just before you go for the waxing.
3. Beauticians are professionals and there is no reason for you to be paranoid about what they could possibly think of your body. They do this for a living. They're like dentists.
4. Stare at the ceiling during the waxing, do NOT look at what's going on down there.

Does it hurt: Yes, like a mother....but not for long :)
Is is worth it: Hell, yes!

Answer 2

Hurts like hell! But it is so worth it because you don't have any razor bumps and it stays hairless for about 6 weeks! Just don't go for a brazilian on your first time, those are excruciating. But I would definitely suggest it if you don't want to deal with little bumpies on your bikini line. ;-* V

Answer 3

Vicodin or Advil, 1/2 hour before. Works wonders. Also, help the waxer pull the skin so it's tight, and the *rrrrrip*!!!

Answer 4

its no worse than an eyebrow wax
