Today, I got a bikini wax. They said it wouldn't hurt too badly, and that it would just sting. My friend heard me screaming from all the way down the hall in the waiting room. FML
It feels like someone poured molten lava on your bikini line then tore your skin off... All with the lovely feeling of uncomfortable exposure to someone you don't know... O_o
I just got a Brazilian wax done recently and she told me the same thing. I told a friend of mine what she said and my friend immediately called bullshit. And yes it hurt like hell . . .
Pubic hair is SUPPOSED to be there. There's no shame in it. I don't understand why you guys put yourself through so much pain when it makes little difference, anyway (and, more importantly, why males are never asked to shave/wax THEIR genitals... you'd think it's only fair!)
You don't have to wax if you don't want to! LOVE YOUR PUBES!
Okay, here is a question 135- (if what you're saying is true, and I'm not disagreeing just offering a counterpoint) you would be TOTALLY cool going to the beach, with God knows how many people seeing you, and you have never shaved your pubic hair a day in your life, you wouldn't be the least bit uncomfortable? I think it'd be kind of embarrassing to have pubic hair bursting at the seams of your bottoms IMO....but then again I'm just a guy
It's one thing if it's pushing out of your bathing suit. Guys don't have to worry about that because their bathing suits cover more. All you really have to do it keep it trimmed enough not to stick out. Waxing and even shaving seem unnecessarily painful in my opinion.
138, assuming I find the rest of her attractive, the girl with some of her bush poking out of her bathing suit bottom, is the one I would be trying to take home. Then again, I can handle a woman with leg hair, and some under arm hair. What can I say, I'm a bit of a naturalist with plenty of disregard for the media's depiction of "beauty."
as a girl, I always shave down there but waxing is just more convenient because I don't have to shave every 5 days. Plus the hair grows back a little finer each time. I do it for hygenic reasons. It's so easy for dirt and bacteria to get trapped down there and also, during my monthly cycle, I don't want to have to worry about hygiene issues. I also go out to beaches a lot so it's just natural for me to have as little hair as possible. I take 500mg Rx Naproxen 45 mins before my appointment and the pain isn't as bad. although, I'd prefer morpheine. A friend takes poppy tea bedore hers and she's always calm and relaxed dueing hers. My first time was horrendous. I was crying and literally biting my teeth together when she approached the area near the folds. *shudders*
169-- It seems MORE unhealthy to be taking so many drugs. :(
Public hair is no more unhygienic than the hair on your head. If it were, we wouldn't have it at all. You should do some research (I don't mean this in a mean way) and reconsider. :) If you wax for your own aesthetic reasons, I guess that's okay... but you shouldn't believe all the myths about it. :P
Having no hair down there is the norm. Feel free to have a guy be disgusted when gets down there, just so you can have some sort of 'hair pride', good luck with the rumors that follow. But im guessing you're not much of a social person anyway. Good luck with the muff, Chewbacca.
#204-- I was not aware that the only way to socialize with people was to have them perform oral sex on you. Thank you for enlightening me.
Also, I'm impressed by how much you seem to know about the state of my genitals and my sexual orientation. Isn't the internet amazing?
Yes, I should definitely try to change my body to fit what you, or a hypothetical man with your preferences, personally finds attractive. Silly me and my delusions of gender equality. It's all so clear to me now. I guess I'll just be heading off to the kitchen now! :)
Let's just use logic for a moment - warm wax poured on a sensitive area hardens then hair is ripped out by the roots. Why wouldn't that hurt? Even if logic failed you, have you never seen a movie or television show featuring waxing? Research something before you do it! YDI
The only reason they say it doesnt hurt is most likely because theyve been doing it for so long they built a tolerance for the pain and they dont feel it as much as there first time
Does anyone ever wonder how the person giving the wax feels? Personally, I don't know what I would do if someone was screaming like a maniac while I was trying to do my job.
One of my best friends doesn't find it painful at all..she was literally just calmly chatting with me while the lady was waxing her o.o that's why I thought the pain was not so bad and I agreed to do it myself..I didn't scream but I was crying xD
What do you mean it's terminal? Damn it OP, don't you die on me! You have such a full life ahead of you! Get the defibralator, this girl has had a really bad bikini wax!
In uncoolgirl31's defense, she probably just misworded "hope you get better." Given her later comment about not implying that the pain of a bad wax was up there with major surgery, I think she just wanted to convey a message on the lines of "I hope the sensitivity from the wax wore off."
This comment baffles me; please explain. Are you saying that she should've felt worse about showing her pubic area to the waxer? Or are you saying waxing and public frontal nudity are the only options in life?
I'm not sure what he means, but with my opinion i believe that getting a bikini wax is disgusting. That's a place that you should only show to the person you love, though I'm not judging doorknobs. It would still be wrong IMO to just let random people see and apply wax to it
