Hi Dawn,

I’ve definitely heard the trick/tip about the painkillers pre-bikini, LOL! So glad I remembered that.

I used to get my eyebrows threaded, which didn’t hurt at all but I started doing my own eyebrows (tweezers). Every 3-4 months I get my bikini area waxed which hurts like a SOB. I take painkillers/ Ibuprofin like an hr before and that cuts back on the pain. Plus if you do it regularly and not let the hair grow so long it won’t hurt so much. And it helps to have someone gentle. It’s painful and a little awkward if you’ve never done it, but worth it in my opinion.

You’re brave! I could just see myself accidently landing a dollop of hot wax in a place where I don’t want it.;p

Hi Lauren,

Interesting! I wonder if that holds true for everyone.

Hi Crystal,

I think I might be getting a professional bikini wax sometime soon, too! I’m very curious about HOW they do it.

I used to shave if it was an emergency:P Now I really stick to the waxing. My hair takes really 3 times as long to grow back. I need to wax like 1 a month in the summer. Best time to do it is after you have your period. Honestly! The hair really takes longer to grow if you wax right after you finish your period. I prefer getting it done by a professional. The times I used to do it my self, made me get a lot of ingrown hairs on my bikini area. They keep reappearing, but since ive been getting it done by a professional and I exfoliate daily and use a scrub with salicylic acid, they got a lot better!
