I am a nail tech, and not a beautician at all, so here goes, my hubby erm shaves himself as he does not like to be hairy, his back and chest are not hairy just his bits!!! (yikes), anyhoo, he asked me tonight would I wax him
Love is blind and all that but my god not that blind ! Ok I told him to go and get it done properly but apparently hell will freeze over first! Sooooo.... I thought if anyone could recommend a good waxing system, perhaps I could try it on myself and if all goes ok on my poor hubby. By the way he has tried shaving but does not have eyes in the back of his head!

Any advice would be fantastic and I mean all and any thanks in advance xxx

Aren't all blokes bits hairy!!

Yes hun but he tries to shave and he wants to be "clean"

Hi Fiona

Three words of advice hun "Don't do it!" This is a specialised job for those who have been properly trained in that area........ and by "area" I don't mean waxing in general! You could quite easily burn him and it is very painful!

(Speaking from experience here....lol)

Love does have its boundaries and waxing "bits" are on the outermost parts of those boundaries! Keep him supplied in good razor blades if he won't go and get the waxing done professionally.

All the best

If you don't want to go there and he doesn't want to go to a professional tell him to try a hair removal cream. Atleast he won't do himself any serious harm .

Ooh......I wouldn't try if you've not trained in waxing..............especially in that region as you could rip his skin off, or even worse. You've heard the saying Bob's your uncle and Fanny's your aunt !!! He might end up with unintentional gender re-assignment.

Tell him to get it done by an expert. xxxxx

But you can be "clean" without removing every hair on you body.

Go with him if he is embarresedand let him get waxed by a profesional, that's my best advise.

HTH Teri x

Thanks guys, I am sooo relieved, I've told him what you have said and thank the lord I am off the hook! I told him it's like having your nails done by a bank manager lol, so We have taken your advice on board and thank you all so much, I think we might go with the hair removal cream xxxxx

Axiom is the chap to speak to - he is one of the nicest guys I have ever chatted to - helpful - explains things well and is an all round good egg - love him to bits and if you ask nicely he will help as much as he can

Adding this paragraph

The hair removal cream is good but waxing does last longer - the results imho are better - despite the fact that you are not completely smooth - hair grows at different rates so you will always be a bit lumpy bumpy Recently I shaved under my arms and tbh - I won't be doing it again in a hurry - the hairs are far more sharp and bushier - in some ways this happens with the hair removal cream as well - whereas with waxing the hairs grow back tapered and are far more sparse - this is mho - you go with what you feel is the right thing - best of luck Deb xx

One word for this.....OUCH!!!

Hope he makes a good decision! Honestly, though, it'll look like a bumpy plucked turkey....my man did this one summer when he kept getting rashes from driving a truck. Not attractive!

Hi Fiona,

Firstly, I have huge respect for your husband wanting to do this. I have been trying to get my partner to do this for ages, but he simply won't do it.

I agree with your husband that it looks so much nicer and "cleaner".


Secondly, this is quite a delicate area and you really have to be careful with it. If you haven't had any training, I personally would not attempt this as a "first go at waxing".

Go to someone professional and as already stated, if your husband is not comfortable going to a female therapist, there are a few male therapists around that would be happy to help.

on a better note... if hubby really annoys you he would make a great ginni pig for practice..
gosh i really have started to stop spreading the lurve... will it come back to me

Lol thats what I thought, hee hee!
Thanks for your advice Marlise, I would not be happy doing it at all, he would just refuse to go to a lady beautician, your suggestion of getting a male one is great, I'll ask him when he comes home from work
Thanks so much for all your advice and replies to this geeks xxxxx
