I love the result of a Brazilian Bikini Wax, but I hate the pain of having it done. Does anyone no any way to desensitize that area or if taking Tylenol an hour before actually works? Please help!! I have an appointment this week and just want to avoid the agonizing pain.

You could try a topical anesthetic. Here in Canada, there is an over the counter product called EMLA, which is a cream you can apply to the skin 20-30 minutes prior to waxing, then wipe off. It is similar to what the dentist brushes onto your gums to freeze it before using the freezing needle. It would work best if you also cover the area with plastic wrap to maximize absorption. It is short acting and will wear off fairly quickly, so it should last just long enough for you to finish.

Try a gum numbing rub, such as oragel. I know it sounds crazy, but it really works!
