TRY & PUT YOURSELF IN HER SHOES, THIS IS HYSTERICAL!
(I don't have a clue as to who wrote this, but....WHAT A HOOT!)

All hair removal methods have tricked women with their promises of easy, painless removal - The Epilady, scissors, razors, Nair and now...the wax. Read on.........

My night began as any other normal weeknight. Come home, fix
dinner, play with the kids. I then had the thought that would ring painfully in my mind for the next few hours: 'Maybe I should pull the waxing kit out of the medicine cabinet.'

So I headed to the site of my demise: the bathroom. It was one of those 'cold wax' kits. No melting a clump of hot wax, you just rub the strips together in your hand, they get warm and you peel them apart and press them to your leg (or wherever else) and you pull the hair right off.

No muss, no fuss. How hard can it be? I mean, I'm not a genius, but I am mechanically inclined enough to figure this out. (YA THINK!?!)


So I pull one of the thin strips out. Its two strips facing each other stuck together. Instead of rubbing them together, my genius kicks in so I get out the hair dryer and heat it to 1000 degrees. ('Cold wax,' yeah...right!) I lay the strip across my thigh. Hold the skin around it tight and pull. It works!

OK, so it wasn't the best feeling, but it wasn't too bad. I can do this! Hair removal no longer eludes me!


I am She-rah, fighter of all wayward body hair and maker of smooth skin extraordinaire.

With my next wax strip I move north. After checking on the kids, I sneak back into the bathroom, for the ultimate hair fighting championship. I drop my panties and place one foot on the toilet.

Using the same procedure, I apply the wax strip across the right side of my bikini line, covering the right half of my hoo-ha and stretching down to the inside of my butt cheek (it was a long strip) I inhale deeply and brace myself....RRRRIIIPPP!!!!

I'm blind!!! Blinded from pain!!!!....OH MY GAWD!!!!!!!!!

Vision returning, I notice that I've only managed to pull off half the strip. CRAP! Another deep breath and RIPP! Everything is spinning and spotted.


I think I may pass out...must stay conscious...must stay conscious. Do I hear crashing drums??? Breathe, breathe...OK, back to normal.

I want to see my trophy - a wax covered strip, the one that has caused me so much pain, with my hairy pelt sticking to it. I want to revel in the glory that is my triumph over body hair. I hold up the strip!

There's no hair on it.

Where is the hair??? WHERE IS THE WAX???


Slowly I ease my head down, foot still perched on the toilet. I see the hair. The hair that should be on the strip...it's not! I touch. I am touching wax.

I run my fingers over the most sensitive part of my body, which is now covered in cold wax and matted hair. Then I make the next BIG
mistake...remember my foot is still propped upon the toilet? I know I need to do something. So I put my foot down.


Sealed shut! My butt is sealed shut. Sealed shut!

I penguin walk around the bathroom trying to figure out what to do and think to myself 'Please don't let me get the urge to poop.


My head may pop off!' What can I do to melt the wax?

Hot water!! Hot water melts wax!! I'll run the hottest water I can stand, into the bathtub, get in, immerse the wax-covered bits and the wax should melt and I can gently wipe it off, right???

*WRONG!!!!!!!*

I get in the tub - the water is slightly hotter than that used to
torture prisoners of war or sterilize surgical equipment - I sit.


Now, the only thing worse than having your nether regions glued together, is having them glued together and then glued to the bottom of the tub....in scalding hot water. Which, by the way, doesn't melt cold wax.

So, now I'm stuck to the bottom of the tub as though I had cemented myself to the porcelain!! God bless the man who had convinced me a few months ago to have a phone put in the bathroom!!!!!

I call my friend, thinking surely she has waxed before and has some secret of how to get me undone. It's a very good conversation starter. 'So, my butt and hoo-ha are glued together to the bottom of the tub!'

There is a slight pause. She doesn't know any secret tricks for removal but she does try to hide her laughter from me.


She wants to know exactly where the wax is located,'Are we talking cheeks or hole or hoo-ha?'


She's laughing out loud by now...I can hear her. I give her the rundown and she suggests I call the number on the side of the box.

YEAH!!!!! Right!! I should be the joke of someone else's night.


While we go through various solutions. I resort to trying to scrape the wax off with a razor .. Nothing feels better than to have your girlie goodies covered in hot wax, glued shut, stuck to the tub in super hot water and then dry-shaving the sticky wax off!! By now the brain is not working, dignity has taken a major hike and I'm pretty sure I'm going to need post-Traumatic Stress counseling for this event.

My friend is still talking with me when I finally see my saving
grace....the lotion they give you to remove the excess wax.

What do I really have to lose at this point? I rub some on and OH MY GOD!!!!!!! The scream probably woke the kids and scared the ****ens out of my friend. It's sooo painful, but I really don't care. 'IT WORKS!!

It works !!' I get a hearty congratulation from my friend and she hangs up. I successfully remove the remainder of the wax and then notice to my grief and despair....THE HAIR IS STILL THERE.......ALL OF IT! So I recklessly shave it off. Heck, I'm numb by now. Nothing hurts. I could have amputated my own leg at this point.

Next week I'm going to try hair color......
 
:lol::lol::lol: this is sooo funny :) :hug:
 
PMSL!!!!

thankyou for that. I needed a good laugh! Bless her.

Reminds me of a client that tried home waxing in the microwave...she blew it up and needed a new microwave and got wax on the floor, walls and couch :O
 
OH MY GOD don't think I have ever laughted so much lol. My poor daughter was left to cryu until I had finished reading lol.

The poor woman!!!!!
 
That was so funny, I was crying with laughter and my 19 year old son was asking me tell him what I was laughing at. The moral of her story, all ways use a pro to wax.
 
Someone linked this on another thread and I hurt myself laughing so hard.
 
Oh my god, makes me wanna cross my legs and never have it waxed again!!!!
 
Love it, I have just been in hysterics reading that !
 
Oh how funny. I never fell off of my chair laughing xx
 
Lol that had me in stitches!!

And that is why you are a "GUIDE" oh knowledgable one. I bow to you.

But I will not kiss your ring.

I really HAVE to stop showing you the way, my knowledge is being used against me now! :cool:
 
That took me 10 mins to read I laughed so hard nearly woke my son oops x
 
I tried to wax my own foof once.
I used pro products too.
Now my first mistake was not waiting until the salon door was locked. The girls had gone home but hadn't locked the door. So i heard the door go and a client came in the salon so I had to jump off the couch and put my trousers on. That was not good as the wax stuck together-great!
I am rather top heavy too which makes it rather difficult to see what I am doing! I got myself in a right mess.
In the end I got my scissors out and cut as much as I could off and then smothered myself in jasmine oil. I was sore for a few days I can tell you so I can totally sympathise with this woman!
 
OMFG PMSL, I needed a laugh and I have tears in my eyes now!!

Have any of you seen Mrs Bowns Boys??? There is on epiesod where Mrs Brown (who is a man dressed as an irsh mother) decides to wax herself, it's the funniest thing you will ever see!!

Stuff it, here a link to the clip on YouTube Mrs Brown Gets A Bikini Wax HQ - YouTube
