When I was a teenager, I began to be very self-conscious about the hair that seemed to have sprouted up overnight all over my body. As I tried to rid myself of some of it with a cheap two-bladed razor, I began to experience terrible razor burn that eventually evolved into occasional infected cysts that grew to be very painful.
While I wanted to keep myself nicely groomed, particularly in my bikini area, I became so averse to these terrible outbreaks that I frequently went natural just to avoid the pain. But then I discovered the joys of waxing.
You probably have not before heard the cosmetic practice of waxing described as joyful. But the truth is that waxing--any part of the body, not just in the private region--has much more lasting effects than shaving and tends to irritate skin much less.
You may have heard horror stories in the past about the degree of pain associated with waxing. The truth is that it can be painful, but each person is different in their tolerance. Those that are very sensitive and/or have a low pain tolerance should take a pain reliever, such as aspirin or ibuprofen, about an hour to two hours before the appointment.
Because of its popularity among celebrities, Brazilian waxing has become a common option for those hoping to rid themselves of unwanted pubic hair. However, you should know that this removes almost all hair from the vulva (with the exception of the "landing strip") and is therefore one of the more painful procedures.
But it is highly favored because it leaves individuals feeling clean and minimizes the possibility of showing excess hair through underwear or bathing suits.
It is done in the privacy of a closed room, usually by a female esthetician. All clothing from the waist down is removed. This can be an uncomfortable situation for some, so consider whether or not you can handle it.
Some people actually find it a relaxing time, as they listen to music and enjoy the feeling of the warm wax. Sure, it might sound a little gross to you at first, but if you are considering getting it done at all, you may as well look for things to relax you.
It should be maintained by monthly visits, as the wax can last anywhere from three to five weeks. Each wax costs approximately fifty dollars, so consider what kind of budget you are operating on. To many women, there is no price for feeling well-groomed and getting rid of the irritation of shaving.
