Waxing Bikini Area

[beautiful_lacy]

What is the best product to use for a bikini wax? And what are the best ways to go about waxing the area?

Is there a product that can wax both legs and bikini?

Also, I've heard of laser hair removal. Has anyone had it done and what do you think? What is the cost?

hello

hey babe, why not just leave it natural? Pussy hair rocks! ...... I could always nibble it off for you

 

[nawtybone]

ha ha ha

seriously honey, is it a real problem finding a good product where you are?

 

[beautiful_lacy]

Well, everything I can find always says do not use on bikini area, so that is why I am asking for help. The one product I have used burned, so I don't want to try that again.

I don't mind leaving it natural. But I would like to be neater.

I would check such websites as http://www.adameve.com they tend to have creams for that area of your body. There are plenty of other sites out there that offer products to help clean off your bikini area.

this is going to be one of the most lurked thread

I've tried to do it myself, on various occasions, with a wide variety of products.
I know it costs a bit more, but I really reccomend going to a professional!
It only hurts the tinyest bit, when they do it and they distract you from any pain via small talk.
I don't think I could ever try it myself again!

Stop!

Oh honey! Take my advice and DO NOT do this type of waxing yourself! It will hurt like hell! Go have it professionally done and you will be much more happy with the results and you won't have to endure as much pain.

As for laser hair removal... I've had it done and it greatly reduced the amount of hair down there. It's not all gone however, but greatly reduced! It is expensive though! Estimated cost in my area is $700-$2000 for about 5-6 sessions. But it's worth it to me... others might disagree.

Again... DO NOT do this yourself! Good Luck Sweets!

If you want to wax, have it done professionally. I've never heard of anyone being happy with the results they get at home, with ANY product.

There is a product called Magic Shave powder that many rave about for genital hair removal. It's in the Ethnic Men's hair or shaving products section of most drug stores and places like Walmart. You could give that a try, but make sure you do the patch test, wait 24 hours and follow the instructions because some are allergic to it or have had major chemical burns.

Otherwise, you could try another depilatory or shaving (probably the quickest, easiest, cheapest, safest way to go).

There are good threads on all of this in The Blank Manual sticky at the top of the main How To forum page, BTW. There's a whole section on Hair Removal.

Here are threads on laser hair removal for your reading pleasure. Replace 'laser hair' with 'shaving' or 'waxing' or any other term in the search box to find previous threads/posts on those topics. Quick and easy!

Don't glue your Who Ha together! HAHAHA!

I just about wet my pants EVERY TIME I read this story and I thought of it when I saw your post.... So see if you want to wax yourself after you read this!
****************************************************************

All hair removal methods have tricked women with their promises of easy, painless removal - The Epilady, scissors, razors, Nair and now...the wax. Read on.........

My night began as any other normal weeknight. Come home, fix
dinner, play with the kids. I then had the thought that would ring
painfully in my mind for the next few hours: 'Maybe I should pull the
waxing kit out of the medicine cabinet.'

So I headed to the site of my demise: the bathroom. It was one of
those 'cold wax' kits. No melting a clump of hot wax, you just rub
the strips together in your hand, they get warm and you peel them
apart and press them to your leg (or wherever else) and you pull the
hair right off.

No muss, no fuss. How hard can it be? I mean, I'm not a genius, but I am mechanically inclined enough to figure this out. (YA THINK!?!)



So I pull one of the thin strips out. Its two strips facing each other stuck together. Instead of rubbing them together, my genius kicks in so I get out the hair dryer and heat it to 1000 degrees. ('Cold wax,' yeah...right!) I lay the strip across my thigh. Hold the skin around it tight and pull. It works!

OK, so it wasn't the best feeling, but it wasn't too bad. I can do this! Hair removal no longer eludes me!


I am She-rah, fighter of all wayward body hair and maker of smooth skin extraordinaire.

With my next wax strip I move north. After checking on the kids, I sneak back into the bathroom, for the ultimate hair fighting championship. I drop my panties and place one foot on the toilet.

Using the same procedure, I apply the wax strip across the right side of my bikini line, covering the right half of my hoo-ha and stretching down to the inside of my butt cheek (it was a long strip) I inhale deeply and brace myself....RRRRIIIPPP!!!!

I'm blind!!! Blinded from pain!!!!....OH MY GAWD!!!!!!!!!

Vision returning, I notice that I've only managed to pull off half the strip. CRAP! Another deep breath and RIPP! Everything is spinning and spotted.



I think I may pass out...must stay conscious...must stay conscious. Do I hear crashing drums??? Breathe, breathe...OK, back to normal.

I want to see my trophy - a wax covered strip, the one that has caused me so much pain, with my hairy pelt sticking to it. I want to revel in the glory that is my triumph over body hair. I hold up the strip!

There's no hair on it.

Where is the hair??? WHERE IS THE WAX???



Slowly I ease my head down, foot still perched on the toilet. I see the hair. The hair that should be on the strip...it's not! I touch. I am touching wax.

I run my fingers over the most sensitive part of my body, which is now covered in cold wax and matted hair. Then I make the next BIG
mistake...remember my foot is still propped upon the toilet? I know I need to do something. So I put my foot down.



Sealed shut! My butt is sealed shut. Sealed shut!

I penguin walk around the bathroom trying to figure out what to do and think to myself 'Please don't let me get the urge to poop.



My head may pop off!' What can I do to melt the wax?

Hot water!! Hot water melts wax!! I'll run the hottest water I can stand, into the bathtub, get in, immerse the wax-covered bits and the wax should melt and I can gently wipe it off, right???

*WRONG!!!!!!!*

I get in the tub - the water is slightly hotter than that used to
torture prisoners of war or sterilize surgical equipment - I sit.



Now, the only thing worse than having your nether regions glued
together, is having them glued together and then glued to the bottom of the tub....in scalding hot water.



Which, by the way, doesn't melt cold wax.

So, now I'm stuck to the bottom of the tub as though I had cemented myself to the porcelain!! God bless the man who had convinced me a few months ago to have a phone put in the bathroom!!!!!

I call my friend, thinking surely she has waxed before and has some secret of how to get me undone. It's a very good conversation starter. 'So, my butt and hoo-ha are glued together to the bottom of the tub!'

There is a slight pause. She doesn't know any secret tricks for
removal but she does try to hide her laughter from me.



She wants to know exactly where the wax is located,'Are we talking cheeks or hole or hoo-ha?'



She's laughing out loud by now...I can hear her. I give her the rundown and she suggests I call the number on the side of the box.

YEAH!!!!! Right!! I should be the joke of someone else's night.



While we go through various solutions. I resort to trying to scrape the wax off with a razor . Nothing feels better than to have your girlie goodies covered in hot wax, glued shut, stuck to the tub in super hot
water and then dry-shaving the sticky wax off!! By now the brain is not working, dignity has taken a major hike and I'm pretty sure I'm going to need Post-Traumatic Stress counseling for this event.

My friend is still talking with me when I finally see my saving
grace....the lotion they give you to remove the excess wax.

What do I really have to lose at this point? I rub some on and OH
MY GOD!!!!!!! The scream probably woke the kids and scared the
dickens out of my friend. It's sooo painful, but I really don't care.
'IT WORKS!!

It works !!' I get a hearty congratulation from my friend and she
hangs up. I successfully remove the remainder of the wax and then
notice to my grief and despair....THE HAIR IS STILL THERE.......ALL
OF IT! So I recklessly shave it off. Heck, I'm numb by now. Nothing
hurts. I could have amputated my own leg at this point.

Next week I'm going to try hair color......

If this is the first time you ever had hair removal wax touch your skin, go to a professional for the first couple of times, so that you can get used to the feeling, and how it's suppose to be done. However, I completely agree with Erika, it's best not to do it by yourself. You can never get the skin as taut as you should.

If you ABSOLUTELY must do it, you may wish to try pre-waxed strips. They're not bad and small, so that you can wax the area somewhat more easily that spreading the wax from a jar. And there isn't the risk of burning your skin. But it's still very hard to manipulate the pull and if the skin isn't pulled tight, it can hurt something awful.

The truth is, you'll get much better result that longer lasting , with much less pain, if you go to a professional. It's worth the money. And just a tip: make sure she uses baby powder.

Good luck.

Thanks so much everyone for the advice! I didn't really want to do it myself, but I'm not sure if I want a total stranger looking at my vagina. I'll try it out, though, just so I know I won't hurt myself. Thanks again!!

I didn't really want to do it myself, but I'm not sure if I want a total stranger looking at my vagina.

Lacy - I've never been myself, but I've a friend who goes on a regular basis. I think how "exposed" you are depends on how far you want to go with removal. Because my friend only gets a bikini wax, she keeps her briefs on and they just tidy up around them. I'm sure it may be a little embarrassing at first, but think of it this way. The professional waxers look at vaginas all day long as they are doing their job. I doubt much is going to faze them. Anyway - best of luck to you -

Lacy, I go to get my bikini waxed, and it's completely up to you how modest you want to be. You have a towel that you wrap around your waist, and she'll generally ask if you want only the area that she's working on exposed or you couldn't care less. She's a professional, and seen it all. She's used to it, and really doesn't matter to her. She'll probably chat with you to make you feel comfortable, and it takes all of 20 minutes. It's done as discreetly and modestly as you want. If you have any questions/concerns, feel free to PM me, and I'll gladly tell you in as much detail as you want.

Good luck

hey beautiful

after reading all of the above, i would strongly dissuade you from trying a diy... Nothing is worth hurting your little rose baby girl! Its either done professionally or not at all, please dont hurt her.... However. I have to add....... Natural bushy is still the best by far. Whatever you decide though.. Good luck.

[beautiful_lacy]

I've definitely decided to go get it done. Thanks everyone!
