GhostGirl Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 QUOTE (Trace @ May 17 2006, 02:49 PM) I had it waxed "down there" once and one side only. I bled and bruised. Damn, I've had three kids but waxing "down there" was painful!! I only let her do one side, so for a while I lopsided I had a somewhat similar experience. Thank god I didn't bleed, though. Ouch! It's still better than shaving...just too damned expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alsgalpal Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 I have my own wax machine, but I am to chicken to do it myself. But, I also don't want anyone else going there and indulging in hair pulling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostGirl Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 The first strip is the WORST. After that the pain subsides to mere torture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You made me though at you being lopsided Yeah, it was like a New Romantic hairstyle for my nether regions!! I just shave now, but it does tend to give you that 'speckled' look!! Well Trace, that 'speckled' look is much better then all that pain...plus expense...plus being lopsided We just can't win this one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First off, us girls with really sensitive skin can't use stuff like that anyways -- it burns. It hurts when I use it on my legs -- I can't imagine what it would be like to ... *squirms just thinking about it* The chemicals! Ah! Even for the girls who aren't especially sensitive-skinned, it would surely still hurt. I think, anyways; I guess I can't say for sure since I'm sensitive everywhere, but I would think it would since that area is usually really sensitive. I know this girl who thought that was a good idea and she accidentally ... put too much on or something, and it sort of slid somewhere, I guess, and she was in this burning pain for a really long time. Not a good place for chemicals. *shakes head* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alsgalpal Posted May 23, 2006 Share Posted May 23, 2006 All hair removal methods have tricked women with their promises of easy, painless removal - The epilady, scissors, razors, Nair and now...the wax. My night began as any other normal weeknight. Come home, fix dinner, play with the kids. I then had the thought that would ring painfully in my mind for the next few hours: "Maybe I should pull the waxing kit out of the medicine cabinet." So I headed to the site of my demise: the bathroom. It was one of those "cold wax" kits. No melting a clump of hot wax, you just rub the strips together in your hand, they get warm and you peel them apart and press them to your leg (or wherever else) and you pull the hair right off. No muss, no fuss. How hard can it be? I mean, I'm not a genius, but I am mechanically inclined enough to figure this out. ! (YA THINK!?!) So I pull one of the thin strips out. Its two strips facing each other stuck together. Instead of rubbing them together, my genius kicks in so I get out the hair dryer and heat it to 1000 degrees. ("Cold wax," yeah...right!) I lay the strip across my thigh. Hold the skin around it tight and pull. It works! OK, so it wasn't the best feeling, but it wasn't too bad. I can do this! Hair removal no longer eludes me! I am She-rah, fighter of all wayward body hair and maker of smooth skin extraordinaire. With my next wax strip I move north. After checking on the kids, I sneak back into the bathroom, for the ultimate hair fighting championship. I drop my panties and place one foot on the toilet. Using the same procedure, I apply the one strip across the right side of my bikini line, covering the right half of my *hoo-hoo* and stretching down to the inside of my butt cheek (Yes, it was a long strip) I inhale deeply and brace myself....RRRRIIIPPP!!!! I'm blind!!! Blinded from pain!!!!....OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!! Vision returning, I notice that I've only managed to pull off half the strip. OH NO! What have I done???!!! Another deep breath and RRIIP! P!! Everything is swirly and spotted. I think I may pass out...must stay conscious...Do I hear crashing drums??? Breathe, breathe...OK, back ! to normal. I want to see my trophy - a wax covered strip, the one that has caused me so much pain, with my hairy pelt sticking to it. I want to revel in the glory that is my triumph over body hair. I hold up the strip! There's no hair on it. Where is the hair??? WHERE IS THE WAX??? Slowly I ease my head down, foot still perched on the toilet. I see the hair. The hair that should be on the strip. I touch. I am touching wax. WHAT?! I run my fingers over the most sensitive part of my body, which is now covered in cold wax and matted hair. Then I make the next BIG mistake...remember my foot is still propped up on the toilet? I know I need to do something. So I put my foot down. My LIFE FLASHES BEFORE ME!!!!!! I hear the slamming of a cell door. *hoo-hoo*? Sealed shut! Butt?? Sealed shut! I penguin walk around the bathroom trying to figure out what to do and think to myself "Please don't let me get the urge to poop. My head may pop off!" What can I do to melt the wax? Hot water!! Hot water melts wax!!! I'll run the hottest water I can stand into the bathtub, get in, immerse the wax-covered bits and the wax should melt and I can gently wipe it off, right??? WRONG!!!!!!! I get in the tub - the water is slightly hotter than that used to torture prisoners of war or sterilize surgical equipment - I sit. Now, the only thing worse than having your nether regions glued together is having them glued together and then glued to the bottom of the tub...in scalding hot water. Which, by the way, doesn't melt cold wax. So, now I'm stuck to the bottom of the tub as though I had cement-epoxied myself to the porcelain!! God bless the man who had convinced me a few months ago to have a phone put in the bathroom!!!!! I call my friend, thinking surely she has waxed before and has some secret of how to get me undone. It's a very good conversation starter - "So, my butt and who-ha are glued together to the bottom of the tub!" There is a slight pause. She doesn't know any secret tricks for removal but she does try to hide her laughter from me. She wants to know exactly where the wax is located, "Are we talking cheeks or hoo-ha?" She's laughing out loud by now...I can hear her. I give her the rundown and she suggests I call the number on the side of the box. YEAH!!!!! Right!! I should be the joke of someone else's night. While we go through various solutions. I resort to scraping the wax off with a razor. Nothing feels better then to have your girlie goodies covered in hot wax, glued shut, stuck to the tub in super hot water and then dry-shaving the sticky wax off!! By now the brain is not working, dignity has taken a major hike and I'm pretty sure I'm going to need Post-Traumatic Stress counseling for this event. My friend is still talking with me when I finally see my saving grace....the lotion they give you to remove the excess wax. What do I really have to lose at this point? I rub some on and OH MY GOD!!!!!!! The scream probably woke the kids and scared the dickens out of my friend. It's sooo painful, I but I really don't care. "IT WORKS!! It works!!" I get a hearty congratulation from my friend and she hangs up. I successfully remove the remainder of the wax and then notice to my grief and despair....THE HAIR IS STILL THERE.......ALL OF IT!!!!!!!!!! So I recklessly shave it off. Heck, I'm numb by now. Nothing ! hurts. I could have amputated my own leg at this point. Next week I'm going to try hair color...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's also a topical ointment that's used on especially difficult kids when they get shots...put on hour to half hour before you go to wax, completely numbs the area...should do the job. Don't quote me on that, haven't actually tried it myself. May be a little odd to be numb down there like that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CeeJ said something about a topical painkiller also, so maybe if we run across it, we'll think about it again, but till then it's back to razors and trimmers. Uggh. Maybe we'll give the creams a try again. For me it would be a first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
