Question Doing your own brazillian... - 12-12-06, 01:31 AM

May be a funny question, but does anyone have any ideas on positions for doing your own brazillian wax? Right now, i do my own and am usually in the most awkward positions and am wondering if there are any easy positions.

Put the hot wax on everything, then put on a pair of stockings, pat down, then rip the stockings off

I use strip wax because doing it myself is easier to pull.

I sit in front of a mirror on the floor with my legs apart and wax the entire front area, to get around the labia i bend and lift my knees, then - don't laugh, I bend over to get around my bum, one hand has my bum cheek stretched while i apply and pull. - it takes about an hour do do it myself and i take a lot of deep breaths before I pull.

hi there,
this can be very tricky but i find it easiest to sit on the edge of a beauty couch (if you have one)with one foot on the floor or there abouts, and the other leg up on the bed with your knee bent,that should get most of the bikini area,and as for under neath i then keep my knee bent but put my foot on the bed so i can reach further under if you know what i mean lol,,
just ajust this a little to suit you and you should get on fine
hope this helps a little

I use a mirror sit on the floor and do very small patches at a time and hold the skin very very taut. I should take a pain killer before hand cos it kills.

I use the australian bodycare tea tree hand & body lotion after as it really cools and keeps the area clean.

I tried doing this once and never again.

I ended up with the deepest of blue and purple bruises you have ever seen !

I just couldn't get the stretch and the pulll at the same time. My partner was falling about laughing at me


Now I ask my friend to do it, but she still hasn't quite gotten the hang of it
