    I haven't but my best friend gets on ALL the time. Drink a glass of wine to relax you before you go, that's what she used to do before she got used to it. Good luck!!

    Good luck I tried a bikini wax once and in my opinion it was HORRIBLE.  WARNING, TMI:  Don't know if I got a bad employee or what, but I was bleeding (not profusely, but still) and sore/scabbed for days afterward.  I am now getting laser hair removal b/c I cannot deal with waxing!

    Ohhhhh That sounds so painful I don't think I will be getting any of that done. I will continue trimming and keeping things nice and neat. Ohhhh That sounds like it hurts just thinking about it!

    cincy - No way!!!!! Frown I had that happen to a friend when she got waxed down below for the first time. Apparently it can happen in some people. The problem is that you don't know if you fall into that category unless you actually have it done. I am so sorry. That sounds painful!!!

    I love them... The less, the better. Like a newborn baby. LOL! And I hate to be the bearer of bad news...but it never gets any easier. You just become familiar with the feeling. I do suggest having a little drink first though.

    Hope all went well.

    As I'm reading, I'm flinching at the same time...lol. Sorry to those that have had bad experiences. I guess I will take my curiousity about brazilian wax & throw it out the window. I seriously considered it before, but no thank you! I'm good Smile.

    I had planned to go to get mine done a couple of weeks before  the wedding. Please come back and tell how it went for you even though I know everyone is different.
