So with spring supposedly on its way, it's time to get "the area" poolside ready. I'm a long time trimmer/shaver, but am getting tired of all the work. So how BAD, is getting a bikini wax? Any tips?? OH && has anyone seen the infomercial for Bikini Touch? Is that any good??

Ah I'm going for a full leg and bikini on Tuesday. I'm so scared.

The only thing I know is don't do it if you're about to get your period, or on your period.

No ur not supposed to go during your period or anywhere near it (before or after) because you are more sensitive and it hurts more. You are supposed to go far away from when you are about to get it, lol. I kind of want one for summer, but then I would be too embarassed and it would probably feel weird after, lol.

It is SO painfull. But then again, I have a low resistance to pain. I got back to Veet after trying it.

But I wax everywhere else and it doesn't hurt, so maybe it's just getting used to it.

So I went, a couple of weeks ago, and it was painful, but you know, you get over it. I didn't find it awkward at all what with the area and such. That said, I definitely would not do it regularly, only for special occasions, or once at the beginning of summer.

^ya, they have special stuff made for bikini areas
I really wanted to try the naughty nads wax because they come with cool designs, lol.
-lightening bolt
-heart
-landing strip
-bermuda triangle

ALthough, its like fall now and almost winter so whats the point if ur not wearing a bathing suit. Maybe I will try them next summer.

haha, does anyone know the difference between a bikini wax and a brazilian? I want a bikini wax for summer since its getting close, but im really scared.

_TNA_ · Posted: Wed Mar 19, 2008 5:42 pm Post subject:

^No, I do not either.
But I have had a Brazillian before, and it does hurt. I don't even know why I got it, kind of on a whim in New York. But they were really gentle (lol) but I did take Tylenol after

I wouldn't do a brazilian at home, but for Bikini wax I use the Veet wax strips (the ones that already have wax on them, you just rub the strips between your hands to warm them up, peel open, and apply. They're pretty fool/mess proof.

I think a bikini wax is just like, the area around your vag. While a brazillian is like, everything?

^ I think that's the distinction for the most part, but I've heard that different salons might have different treatments or whatever so it's always best to clarify...bikini = bikini line, Brazilian = everything (and when I say everything, I mean EVERYTHING..)

^hahah Yeah, EVERYTHING happened to me HAHA

has anyone had a brazillian in the vancouver area?

i'm thinking of getting one done but i have no idea where to start! like, which salons are good and i'm thinking i only want to spend max 40-50 on it.. but i'm not sure what the price ranges are either!

does anybody have any suggestions as to where to go for good (and gentle!) service. haha thsi would be my first time :p

tropical_pink · Posted: Wed Jun 04, 2008 1:23 pm Post subject:

haha ive been waxing just kinda the sides and not the whole area so if i do go to get mine done im afraid she'll be like, woah what happened to ur bikini area? haha cause theres just kinda a patch in the middle and im not the best waxer so...

hmm well im going to the spa on saturday so i might ask for a bikini wax and see what they say and how much it is and stuff

I waxed my bikini area for the first time a few days ago, it hurt SO MUCH! I felt like I was ripping off my skin. And it bled a little bit too. At least it's gone now lol.

^^ In Vancouver, a lot of my friends go to Eccotique...they say it's good. I haven't gotten one for the summer yet but I think I probably will by the end of the month.

coconuttie · Posted: Wed Jun 04, 2008 10:39 pm Post subject:

^ thanks!

i just checked their site. do they have brazilians? i don't see it listed under hair removal. although there is bikini.

unless it's under beaver cleaver?? haha that sounds very... interesting.

emcee · Posted: Sat Jun 07, 2008 11:47 am Post subject:

^ Yep, that would be the beaver cleavers. The YVR leaves a "strip" (ha, ha) and the West Coast Forest Fire takes everything off, a la the Brazilian.

just wanted to say that i got my first brazilian done today!
it wasn't as bad as i was anticipating Happy

it's only been around 5 hours but i'm happy with it so far!

but instead of going to Eccotique (thought it was a bit too pricey) i ended up at a little place in Yaletown, but it was half the price Happy

emcee · Posted: Tue Jun 17, 2008 9:52 pm Post subject:

^ Yeah they are a little pricey -_- I heard they give you a massage and a compress after though which is good (though the idea of someone massaging you down there kind of makes me giggle, I am so immature).

Where did you end up going and how was it? Would you recommend it?

_TNA_ · Posted: Wed Jun 18, 2008 2:54 pm Post subject:

^Haha yes they do massage and compress there!

^ have you gotten it done there? haha i wonder how the massage is... seems nice after a somewhat painful experience? :p

^^ i went to Sublime Studio. it's a small little place down on pacific blvd and davie but it wasn't bad. she charges first timers $25 and from then on when you go back it's $35, i think.

it wasn't as painful as i thought it was going to be! its been a full day and i'm pretty happy with it! just.. getting used to it! =)

coconuttie · Posted: Wed Jun 18, 2008 10:29 pm Post subject:

oh, and i would definately recommend it. she's very nice and the price isn't that bad either!

DeadDisco · Posted: Wed Jun 18, 2008 11:34 pm Post subject:

I've been tempted to get one for the longest time but I can't help but think it would be so awkward.

^ haha yeah, i thought it was going to be weird baring it all.. but it wasn't that bad. i didn't even feel embarrassed or anything! i'm sure they've seen TONS of them and don't think anything of it. haha =p

i'm totally loving mine right now. LOL. too much info..sorry! haha Happy

emcee · Posted: Sat Jun 21, 2008 10:46 pm Post subject:

^ Thanks! Maybe I will try there sometime.

coconuttie: I booked an appointment with Sublime today! I am kinda anxious cause I've never had a complete Brazilian done...eeeek!

coconuttie · Posted: Mon Jul 07, 2008 6:50 pm Post subject:

^ ooh good luck! Happy

it's not as bad as it seems! i'm still in love with mine!

I never tried waxing down there, lol. Embarassed

I just shaved the bikini area.
So my question is: after how long does it start growing when you wax?
