Is a brazilian wax worth it?!
Question: i'm going to mexico with my boyfriend for our 1 year anniversary. i was wondering if a brazilian wax is worth the money. i usually shave everything down there anyways, but there's always a little bit of stubble and it's a hassle i would like to avoid while on vacation. if it's worth it, how long does it last and when before the trip should i get it done? just a couple of days before, a week before, etc...? thanks!

first time ey?? ha ha it's as simple as this, just tell the lady what you want taken off, even if its everything she can still wax off all the hair down there!! that includes your whole front, between the legs, around your butt crack and your butt cheeks. some people dont automatically wax the butt cheeks so you may have to ask to get that done as well. just make sure you tell her what you do and dont want taken off.
you might get some reddness, possibly some bumps here and there, but they will probably go away within a few hours or so.
my personal experience, i have been waxing most of my body, including the butt and brazilian, and have noticed that the hairs come back shorter, finer, more sparse, and take longer to grow out with each waxing session...these waxings i have been doing for a little over a year and have noticed a SIGNIFICANT difference!!! =)
whenever I get all those areas waxed it the bill comes out a little over $100 plus tip....keep in mind i am a guy which explains the higher price. i live in Odenton, Maryland so I am not sure about the price in your area. you may wanna check out phone books for that.
when you go to your wax session make sure that the hairs are no shorter then a quarter inch, but no longer then half and inch. this will help the waxy to fully grip the hairs and its less painful when the hairs are shorter! if your hairs are too long then the wax lady can simply trim them at no extra charge :)
regarding the pain, it hurts at first, but not as much with each additional waxing session. the pain level for your first time will probably be an 8...next time a 6, than 4, maybe 2, and just 1 to none from then on. just make sure you go to a professional and they will have creams. its much better to wax though since the results are long term and your skin will be baby soft/smooth for a long time =)
while getting waxed you may be asked to moved your legs in a few different directions to help with better access down there. you will be laying down the whole time, except when doing the butt and butt crack of course. all you really need to do is just relax, talk to the lady to help the time go by faster and try to not think about the actual wax session. dont feel embarrased when you are spreading/opening up wide down there, the waxing lady does this everyday to men and women so you are not the only one :)
after waxing a few times some hairs will stop growing back, however, for permanent results you may wanna try laser hair removal. after the first session i noticed that in some areas the hair did not grow back at all!! try it if you would like, its gonna cost ya a pretty penny, but its painless and the results last forever. because each persons' skin type is different you may have to get multiple treatments for all thair to be gone. on average you need 5 to 6 treatments.

im 14 and i get them done and its wayy better than shaving but it depends how much it is but mine is like $40.
i would say go for it and treat yourself. you will stay smooth for a long time and will not have to worry about shaving while on vacation. and it looks a little nicer than shaving. and it makes you feel extra naughty lol ;)
It is worth it...but it is painful.
The results will last at least 4 weeks maybe more.
I would get it about a week before as the pain can be significant and it takes a while before the redness and swelling go down. ..
I did it once because I thought it would be fun to try. I have gotten other waxes before, and I thought this would be better.
It is better. But the pain is real. The results are great though.
good luck...and have a nice trip. I am sure the boyfriend will love it....
For me, a Brazilian lasts about 2-3 weeks. Hardly any ingrowns after and very, very little irritation. Get it done about 2-3 days before so the initial redness can go down (will not feel good in salt water!).
Apply some sally hansen bikini zone daily to keep things looking good.
It is well worth it.
Yikes! It will hurt, but I'm sure you'll like the results.
Before you go in there is something you could do to numb the pain. There is a product on my website that is safe to use down there and with numb you from the pain. It is called 'Anal Eaze'. as you can tell by the name it has other uses as well.
The active ingredient is benzocaine ,that is the numbing agent, and has double the active ingredient than anything else you can get.
It is available through my personal website: www.slumberpartiesbyrox.com
Also, you can contact me through this website and I can give you more specific techniques and recommendations.
Another very important product you should look into is 'Coochy Protection Mist; also available through my website. All the girls who have used these items swear by it! The spray will help seal the follicles and protect from any irritation.
Good Luck!
Definitely worth it for the trip! And as others have said above, it is quite painful, but it lasts a lot longer.. the hair also doesn't grow in as thick.
