I really need to wax "down there." I'm soo tired of shaving because it grows back so fast and it's not even efficient at all. When I wear a bikini I have hair sticking out of my bottom and its so ridiculous! I just want it off. And was thinking a Brazilian wax to get everything out. But I'm scared as hell. I got my eyebrows threaded a month ago and I thought that was pretty bad. So I have a few questions:
1. Am I old enough?
2. What should I worry about? Like disease or infection? I'm scared that something bad could happen.
3. How badly does it hurt? Please please describe your experience.
4. Should I just do a bikini wax first and see how that is?
5. Would it be easier to listen to an iPod and blast the music so I don't notice it as much?
6. anything else!! HELP

A different solution would be Veet. You don't have to it as often as shaving but it doesn't hurt. To answer your questions, though...
1. Age requirements are different from state to state but where I'm at it's 16.
2. You should worry about not screaming at the top of you lungs, for one thing. Infection is rare, unless you go to a really skeezy joint. Worry about the pain.
3. When they wax your butt (Brazilian) it's nothing. The other area hurts... like a lot. Like I've had friends scream and then pass out. I've also had friends that took it like nothing, but if your eyebrows were a bad experience I don't recommend this.
4. The bikini wax is the part that hurts. Like I said, waxing your butt us nothing. Seriously.
5. Trying to distract yourself isn't a bad idea but I don't think an iPod is going to do it. have a friend slap your arm really hard, or even across the face the first time works...
6. Again, I don't recommend this for your if you had issues threading your eyebrows. Try Veet or Nair first. They don't hurt and they still get rid of the hair. Whatever you do, do not try to get waxed without a friend present... because you will scream... and the salon specialists will laugh at you. [ pseudophun's advice column | Ask pseudophun A Question ]
Michele answered Tuesday July 14 2009, 10:41 pm: Are you going to do this yourself or go to a salon. I would recommend a salon. REally. Don't attempt to do it yourself. Find a salon that specializes in Brazilian waxes. Sure I guess you are old enough, but salon rules change from state to state. If you have too much hair then you have too much hair. Yes it will sting, but it is over in less than a minute. And you'll be so happy with the results. You'll WANT to do it again, and you'll be willing to put up with the pain. And you do get used to it. Your skin becomes less sensative. Brazilian waxes are common and a lot of salon's do them, and a lot of girls would never do without them. There are no long term side effects.
