how do you stop

[Brutus'mama]

I'm so glad you brought this up Gina! I get those bumps so bad in the summer! I tried to wax myself once but didn't like it at ALL! I then tried Nair and unfortunately I got some where it shouldn't go and it burned so bad! I screamed so loud all the car alarms in the neighborhood went off! I tried the bikini zone and that didn't work either so I'm ready to try anything. Well except for the brazilian wax! I'm just a little to shy for that! LOL!

Believe me! I'm super duper shy too!!! You don't know how embarassing it was for me to get my brazilian wax for the first time lol. luckily the girl who did mine was very nice and professional about it and the environment was really nice as well, made me feel a little bit more comfortable.

it was really funny because i know i was going to get it waxed.. but when she asked me to take it all off (pants and panties).. i was like... umm.. everything? LOL..

i think if you do decide to go get a brazilian wax, you should go to a nice spa type place and get a real professional. I remember my 2nd time I went to a nail salon place.. and boy do i regret it so i go the spa all the time now

I have tried just about everything (except the deodorant) and the bumps remain. The only thing that has worked for me the Coochie Shave Cream from Pure Romance. BTW, if you also have sensitve underarms and legs, it works great on those areas as well.

I just got this in an email...and I thought you ladies might enjoy a little laugh! It is very long, but I think you will enjoy it!

Wax is not your friend!



All hair removal methods have tricked women with their promises of easy, painless removal - The epilady, scissors, razors, Nair

And now...the wax.

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 one strip across the right side
of
my

bikini line, covering the right half of my *hoo-hoo* and stretching
down
to the

inside of my butt cheek (Yes, it was a long strip) I inhale deeply and

brace myself....RRRRIIIPPP!!!!

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

Vision returning, I notice that I've only managed to pull off half the

strip. CRAP!!!

Another deep breath and RRIIPP!! Everything is swirly and

spotted. I think I may pass out...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. I touch.

I am touching wax

CRAP! 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 up

on the toilet? I know I need to do something. So I put my foot down.

DANG!!!!!!!! I hear the slamming of a cell door.

*Hoo-Hoo*?? sealed shut!

Butt?? 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
cement-epoxied 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 who-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 who-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 scraping the wax off

with a razor. Nothing feels better then 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 dickens 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.

too funny....very good.. and true

Hmmmm, sounds dang close to a bacholer party.

Ok, first heads up....shave the entire year (not just bikini season) w/ some kind of shaving creme. Shave towards the hair not against. No bumps, promise.

[Lexi Rae]

ok so if you shave towards the hair, you wont get a good shave right?

That's why you get bumps....shaving against. You can still get a good shave shaving towards....use a fresh razor or one you that you use strictly for that area. Seriously....once I learned not to shave against....no more bumps. And it doesn't itch either. Shaving against causes in grown hairs too.

[Lexi Rae]

thank you so much for that,, you know i have heard that many times, but
never ever tried it.. im gonna do it now...right now im itching to death..
hope it works...

[Lola LaRue]

Just wanted to let you know that when you wax, there is little to no itch with regrowth.

[Tashasmom]

I can tell you the best way to help not get those. It's all in how you shave. ARe you shaving just the bikini area or more? If you are shaving the bikini are which i think is what your doing. Then start shaving at an angle going down. Then when you've got all you can that way..shave side to side going both ways..then when you've got all of you can that way..then and only then..shave upwards.
Now if you are shaving it all..then start by shaving down..then go to an angle..then side to side then upwards..
after you are done shaving..til you are used to shaving that way..DO NOT use lotion..that will help bring out the bumps..just let it air dry and wa la it should help.
