I do it for me. I feel much more clean. I prefer waxing, not necessarily brazilian, but just regular. It cuts down on razor burn and bumps. Mine get horribly infected and it is nasty. If the person knows what they are doing and pulls the skin really tight, it doesn't hurt much. My best esteticians (sp?) had me pull tight as well. Just don't ever do it on your period. It is horrible. Right now I shave but I must go with the hair growth. I have considered using Nair. Does it work well?

I wax all off...I do it myself... it hurts majourly.. but I have been doing this for years so- so I kind of know the pain level.. so I do it on a day where I know I can handle it.. best time, just before TOM.
It lasts for weeks and is much better than shaving as the end result is smooth. Hubby likes it, but I do it for me - was doing it before I even got married.
What brand/ type of wax do you use?

Karen, I find it does work rather well.
One hint though...don't use it if you have been sweating....ouch and burn!

Thanks for the advice. Not a lesson to learn the hard way. Waxing is so expensive and I am just so sensitive to razor burn and ingrown hairs. I seriously have scars from ingrown hairs, big ones. I am planning to get a family pass to the pool next year for my little fishies and I am paranoid about hair peeking out of my suit. It probably won's because I am not exactly going brazilian bikini but if I don't do something I will be preoccupied with it.

I actually don't use wax per se-- I think they call it sugaring? I make my own... you dissolve some sugar in water and let it bubble over for a while till its near the colour of honey.... then I add a tiny bit of lemon juice..... and then you let it cool down... its kind of like making toffee.. but you don't take it THAT far... you take it to the point of it being held together.. but solid enough to manage... (when I use it, its the consistency of laffy taffy when you stretch it)... I usually make a whole batch and then put it in a coffee mug.. and everytime I need it.. I just pop it in the mocrowave for a few SECONDS for it to soften it up so I could grab it with a spoon.... this is the way most egyptian "wax"... but I think in the western world they call that method "sugaring"... I am not sure what "Wax" is usually made of... but I know the kind I make is all natural....
its really good stuff.. then they say when you are done waxing.. finish it off with rubbing a slice of lemon over the area you just waxed.. and since the pores are still open.. the acidity from the lemon makes the hair grow weaker and finer the next time... that part usually annoys me more than the waxing.. sometimes I skin it... but it DOES work...

I've thought about getting a Brazilian wax done, but the pain factor is a bit scary to me.. I find if I use a brand new disposable razor and shaving gel or lotion or whatever, then the rash or razor burn isn't so horrible either.
Yeah it hurts intensley.... i get my underarms done too sometimes thats pretty bad. Ah the joys of being a woman....

I get a Brazilian wax because of the cut of my costumes. I go to an aesthetician. After the hair removal, I apply a clove oil based lotion; it reduces irritation.

I use an epilator to trim the bikini area (also do the underarms and legs); was painful at first but barely hurts at all now that the hair is finer. I also keep things trimmed with scissors.
