Ladies : Waxing
Have you ever waxed? does it hurt?
I am thinking bout doing it for honeymoon
Re: Ladies : Waxing
Yes, I've done it. Yes, it hurts. A lot.
Are you looking at a bikini wax or a full brazilian? Just so you know, if you want a full Brazilian they are going to wax your arsecrack. A lot of people aren't aware of that and get a big surprise when their aesthetician tells you to turn over and spread your cheeks.
If you're planning on waxing, get it done a few times before your honeymoon. It's easier every time (think about the first time you got your eyebrows waxed as opposed to the last time you got them done). Also, for the love of god don't get waxed within three or four days of your honeymoon -- you will have an ugly, red, sore punani that is not going to look pretty or want to be touched.
I have been getting waxed for years and it is not as bad as it may seem like off the bat. However, it also depends on your pain tolerance. I wouldn't say that I have a high pain tolerance, probably medium (it smarts a little, but not too bad). I have gotten to the point where I do the full Brazillian. The salon that I use is able to wax the back in the same position that they do the rest of it, so it is not as awkward. Def. something to ask about.
Also, I would say to do the hard wax as opposed to strips. I really think that helps. I agree with the other post - don't make your first wax a brazillian. Most salons will allow you to schedule a "high" or "french" bikini (all in the front or a small strip of hair in front, but nothing happens in the back) and will do the standard bikini line first to test it out and if you feel you can tolerate more, then they will go further, if not, it will still look clean. Make sure that the salon you go to is a good one as a lot can go wrong down there if it's not!
Good luck! It isn't as bad as it may seem

Its really not that bad. Get some No Scream Cream. It numbs the area and drastically reduces the discomfort. I would recommend you go a few times before your honeymoon to get used to it. I personally think it is worth the money.
As far as waxing your crack...its different at every salon. My salon's brazillian wax doesn't include the whole crack. Just tell the salon what you want. You don't have to wax anything you don't want to.
Do it at least 3 days before your honeymoon.
Take Motrin or aspirin 30 min before you go.
Exfoliate the night before.
Wear comfy pants.
Don't do it while on your period.
Getting the area around the ankle done hurts more than a Brazilian, if you get your legs waxed with no issue, you'll be OK.
ETA: I've been getting waxed for 10+ years. Eventually you get to a place where it doesn't bother you at all.
I got married about 2 months ago and my first time getting a Brazilian wax was about a little over a month before I got married. I was super nervous and grossed out that they ask you at least grow it out a half an inch before you come in. The thing is they see this all the time and don't care but I don't usually let myself go like that so it was hard....... but trust me the longer the hair the less uncomfortable. I took an Advill and drank a glass of wine before my wax (does that sound bad?? haha) and yes it did hurt with every pull but it wasn't as bad as I thought just a quick sting with each. After the wax I was fine.
I went back 2 days before my wedding and I would say you are good to go 24 hours after your wax...if you want to be on the safe side. I personally think it is awesome now and I would say for me it lasted about 2 1/2 weeks until stubble appeared. And the great thing is that each time you go your hair grows in thinner and more sparse making it a whole lot quicker and less painful!
I went to this really cute boutique that does waxing and also has a little lingerie shop you can browse through before or after your wax. You get a free pair of panties with each bikini wax and the girls are young and make you feel very comfortable!
