when i had a high leg wax done in the uk i said as much off as poss but as it was another £15 to a brazilian i said i would just have a high leg one


after it as finished i asked what the dif was between the 2 the bt stated "you came as close to bw as you can"

there was not much left when she was finished

This thread is interesting. I am a Beauty therepist but I haven't worked since I got here 4 months ago. I have waxed a fair few "Lady Gardens" in my time so attempted to do my own as I have been told I am very gentle and have good technique. I got everything ready and applied my first lot of wax and stripped it off, well that wasn't so bad so I went a bit further down bearing in mind when I wax someone they all help with the stretching of the skin but being on my own I only had one spare hand to stretch and holy mother of god it was so painful and it bruised straight away, I swore so loud that my hubby in the other room who new what I was doing was pissing him self laughing (going to give him a back sack and crack see how he likes it). Never again will I do my own bikini waxing. I hate shaving it and cream just makes it feel weird so I am looking for a good place to get a good brazillian as I am fed up of shaving.

Defo not for me hon!!! Dont know if i could trust anyone else with Fluffy, apart from you, as she's quite a delicate little thing! Now how's that for friendship?

Not sure about my mate Annie though, she could quite easily do me a pap smear, being the best pap smear nurse on the Sunshine Coast, trust her but just not the same though is it!

Just a thing a couple of people have mentioned - booze. I don't think it's recommended as, from what I was told, it brings the blood vessels to the surface and makes it more painful rather than numbing the pain.

Happy to be corrected by all the nurses.

I've no problem letting somebody else torture me but I can't do it myself.

(I've been having acupuncture for a few weeks now. Compared to that, bikini waxing is a pleasure.)

I really want lasering, under the armpits...not bothered about shaving elsewhere, just find thta particularly in the summer, hair under my arms just grows like crazy!
Waiting to see if my friend goes back to being a laser person so she can sort me out, keep telling her!
