August 2012 Weddings

Brazilian, anyone?

I got a couple of spa gift cards at my bridal shower and decided to use one of them for a Brazilian bikini wax. My appointment is the Wednesday before my Saturday wedding. I've always maintained a nice 'V' :), but this will be my first time going allll the way! 

I'm nervous and excited! Anyone else got big plans for down there?

Re: Brazilian, anyone?

  • Yep, the Thursday morning before. I've gotten a few before, and every other time it has been after work, and I had a glass of wine before to relax. Not quite as appropriate at 9 a.m., ha. Oh well. Good luck! Don't be too nervous, if you have a good waxer it should be quick.
  • I bow down to both of you. I thought about but chickened out.

  • I'm thinking about it...but I've heard that you have to get into a couple crazy/awkward positions for them to "get everything" Can anyone elaborate on that? haha

    I've never had it done, but I've heard of women getting on all fours. Yikes!
  • Awkward position is "hands and knees". I'm sort of a baby but my waxer is great and chatty the whole time so it's not uncomfortable. The part that hurts the most is on my belly, right at the bikini line, the rest of it is surprisingly not bad.
  • A good waxer can get the job done with "hands & knees." Yeah sometimes you've got to position your leg just-so.  Especially if it's you frist time getting it all waxed, make sure to give yourself a few days for your skin to calm down before your wedding! And no sex for those days either or the skin can get really irritated. I get it done about 4-5 times a year, and I'm still giving myself a week between waxing and wedding.

    You can always opt out of that part and just ask the waxer to do the rest.
  • I've done it a few times - definitely have a waxer you trust!  I would go for a normal bikini with someone before I'd ever let them do a brazilian, just to be sure they know what they're doing.  Trust me, going wrong on a bikini is so much easier than wrong on a brazilian.

    That said, it's not so bad.  Have a glass of wine before, or pop a few Advil, and you should be fine.  My biggest problem is when I'm in pain, I sweat, so they end up powdering me until I look like a donut down there.

  • Wine is appropriate at any hour and don't let anyone tell you different :)  it is 5 o'clock somewhere!!

    Haha, thanks! :)
  • I'm getting one and a full leg wax the Tuesday before my Sunday wedding. I've had them before, they're no biggie, but a glass of wine or aspirin before is a good idea.
  • I'm getting the Egyption (all off) about 3 days before. I got this done before and my FI loved it. It was weird to not have anything down there. I asked my FI if he felt like he was molesting me because I looked like a kid down there LOL. He was like hell no.
