Beauty By Josi: Bikini-line Bravery...

So I finally did it girls!!!! My best friend told me YEARS ago that getting her bikini line waxed was one of the best things she ever did but I never really considered it.....even though I am tortured every year when I "let it go" a little too much in winter and then have to "shape it back up" when bathing suit season arrives (I know...ewwww...)

Well anyways...since I have become a bi-monthly regular at Zaibees here in Dallas and was going to get an early jump on summer in Mexico this year, I decided to give it a go.  I admit, I was really nervous...laying there with my legs splayed open didn't sound too appealing to me.  Thank god for black underwear is all I gotta say on that one.  I kept thinking of those girls that go full-on Brazilian - I don't know how in the world...

But Ruby, my regular eyebrow and lip-threading magician was very reassuring and sweet about it....she managed to calm my nerves as she drew blood (not really)...but her quick hand made it so fast I barely had time to feel it.  I have to say the results are AMAZING!!  Not ONE single in-grown hair, no more nasty razor burn, not a single "itch" down there that I can't scratch..LOL!  Now here I am THREE weeks out and I don't even need a touch up yet!  It was so great to be in Mexico and not even have to think about my bikini line.

SOOO...I have to persuade you girls that are getting ready for summer...(and guys..can you say, man-scaping?)..if you have never done it - just DO it.  The short-term pain is SO worth it!!!!

Be Beautiful Ya'll....

I really think it hurts worse to have my eyebrows waxed then when I had a Brazilian.

I know I should do it, really, and your post has made me feel better about the pain factor - though the awkwardness factor is still there since I'm not exactly in my best shape these days--where's the thighmaster when you need it?! Maybe this will be the year that I, too, bite the bullet. Three weeks of hairlessness "down there" would be fantastic, I have to admit. If only I lived in Dallas so I could go to your waxer, I would feel more confident!! Did you or the waxer use any type of, can't think of the word!, anti-pain lotion beforehand?

I agree with Laura above! I'm only going to "bite the bullet" because I got a free gift card to Completely Bare (which is quite pricey and one of the best in NYC) so, hey why not take advantage!

Was there any maintenance needed after the wax (I've heard using aloe after waxing helps prevent ingrowns)? is taking an Advil a punk move lol

I got the full brazillian months ago. I got one every 3 weeks for probably 5 months. My esthetician /waxer was a pretty good friend by then, but the awkward factor was there for a bit. She reassured me that she's not looking AT my vag, but around it (: lol. The first time hurts the MOST, but it began to grow back thinner, and slower. Getting on a cycle is your best bet. Some girls just stop growing all together.. lucky girls.
