...gotta say if i was to have one of these waxings done it would definately be somewhere I'm not known...could you imagine running into him/her with say your dad and then trying to explain who it was
'Oh, thats the person that waxes my (urmm?!?) mary!' lol nah don't think so

i remember once being at the hospital seeing the gynecologist....there i am trying to look nonchalant, when the doctor says, without looking up...'i think i know your father in law from the golf club'!!!!!!!!!
i nearly broke his glasses.

Well you have used the best type of wax for the job as you have more control with it rather than using wax and strips.Just make sure you pull the skin as tight as possible and try to get wax off in one go.

The worst thing is you have to do both sides as you cant go round with a half done "under carriage" pmsl.

Nothing to worry about......... Don't think the waxer will be paying much attention to your face

Well, despite the torture last time, I'd thought I'd brave it again ......


Believe it or not it was fine!

Wouldn't say it didn't hurt but was no-where near as tear inducing as last time! She used hot wax, I don't think it was the same stuff as last time. Also a different beautician - got her name to make sure I get her again next time!

I'm thinking about waxing, only ever done it once, with a home kit and it hurt like hell! I pluck my own eyebrows and I can only do a couple of hairs a day cause it is tooo painful, I know I'm a baby!

Does the numbing spray work?
