Waxing

To females: how often do you go to a professional center for a brazilian wax ?

I haven't had that done yet, but I plan to very soon. I tried to give myself a Brazilian at home before and it didn't really work too well. So I normally just shave

I have only been once. I loved it though- I want to do it again, soon.

For several months, I was going every 2-3 weeks. It was so expensive, and while I loved it, I didn't have time to get there and have it done frequently enough ... luckily, everything has grown back soft, not stubbly.

If you're going to get waxed in NJ you better hurry. The nanny state hand wringing busy bodies are at it again. Thoughts of enforcement promote all sorts of amusing scenarios. And what about presenting evidence in court. I can just see undercover cops with bald pubes from a massive sting operation. As the saying goes, "Be careful what you wish for."

I've never been waxed. Truthfully: I think shaving works very well. I use a GREAT razor (Gillette VENUS) and the best thing to use with it (although often hard to find) is a slat scrub which is oil-based. Bath & Body Works used to sell it; now I get it at Trader Joes but they only have 2 scents.

The oil + the razor = babysoft smooth.

Does the waxing hurt? On a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being worst, how would you rate it and which arease are worst?

Thanks,

I loved shaved kitty but unfortunately the one time the missus went for a full monty wax it all came us red and rashed. No problem though as she just sticks to shaving. Also she tried a laser procedure so she doesn't have to shave so regularly and that has worked quite well.

Every 6 to 8 weeks it is a great result, better than shaving!!!

The hair gets softer and finer after multiple waxings, whereas shaving tends to make it thicker and coarser. The first three or four times are pretty painful but it gets better and easier. Most people don’t stick with it long enough to get over the problem.

The advantage of shaving is that you can keep it as clean and smooth as you want (have time for) Waxing means that you have to let a little stubble grow (there’s got to be something for the wax to get a hold of). After five or six waxings the stubble is very fine and soft. I get it done once a month in the same appointment as my hair (on my head silly). IMO that beats having to shave everyday or at least every other day like I used to.

Every 4 weeks. My hair is very curly and shaving causes ingrowns. Eventually I want laser...it would be worth the pain.

Love the smooth look and feel, but waxing hurt like hell and shaving leaves a rash, bumps and stubble. Recently started laser hair removal and like the results so far. I'm told it could take up to 6 visits to complete remove ALL the growth from one end to the other, but it will be worth it :0) Quite an interesting process.

In my country this is a very common procedure. Women go to special centers or even to hair dressers to get waxing done. It is painful, but it is mucu much better than shaving in terms of smoothness. Also, it takes longer for the hairs to grow back.

Personally, I only had it done once.

Every 4 weeks to start then every 6 weeks the more you do it the less coarse the hair comes back if you shave in between your back to ground zero so maintenance is key

I shave, i would be scared of trying waxing down there, never tried

I use to wax......but hubby loves my fur, so I just trim.....looks nice he says and less work for this working girl.

I recently went for the frist time. It wasn't as painful as I anticipated and I will go back at the 4 week mark.

I wax and think it is the way to go . It is very smooth and I go every 4 weeks . Not muck left after 3 or 4 times . No pain , just SMOOTH .

A few times over the years, moreso over recent months. From a woman's point of view there isn't really much that can be more embarrassing than this. Why I do it, goodness knows, but it feels and looks (I am told) good, so that will suffice.

Have always gone to the same salon and would have to consider whether I would continue if that facility was no longer available.

The joys of being a woman!!!

Every 6-8 weeks!, it's well worth it for that smooth feeling!

Can be pricey tho so sometimes my gf will do it at home.

Waxing has been great for me , Very smooth .

I waxed my husband a few weekends ago. I love sucking his smooth, hair free cock.

The feeling of both of us being hairless there is also great during intercourse.

Brazil is too far away for me ... so it's done at home ...

I don't go any more since it can get quite pricy but if I ever can I would go back to it. I went every 7-8 weeks. Loved how smooth it left me and I never had bumps or itching like with shaving. The first time I went I was pretty embarrassed but I just figured they see pubic hair all day and mine can't be that shocking.

I have been waxing for a while-so I dont have to go as much as I used to! I have dark hair so about every 8 weeks...they wax everything includind the bum if needed!

I HIGHY recommend women see this waxing video.

It shows EVERYTHING is not porn and has a lot of information on waxing the vulva. She is matter-of-fact and very explicit and complete in her instructions.

If it floats your boat, enjoy yourself and your partner. But I would never ask someone I cared for to do that to herself. As for waxing me, forget about it. I'm not a car.

I go once every six months or so and then wax shave in between to keep it nice and bald.

Never, I can do it myself. Plus, I'm not one to be completely bare... I like a nice patch.

Awesome video post Switchablesusie

Did it once a few years ago. Decided that shaving was a much better and less painful alternative. Even the thought of doing again gives me shivers up my spine.
