TMI Tuesday

  I am super inconsistent.  I love waxing (brazillian) but the one place I have found that does it really well is 80 bucks so I dont get it done on a regular basis like I'd like to....actually the last time I had it done was right before the wedding. 

  When I'm not waxed I use the Schick Trim Style trimmer to keep it maintained.  I absolutely refuse to shave because I get SO irritated when it grows back.

  I'm shaved! At the moment it might be kinda spotted, I'm flying blind lately! I want to try a waxing but was told that it's way painful while pregnant. Hopefully after the baby comes I'll get it done

  I'm very shamed to say that it's pretty eu natural lately I don't like dh to see me anymore haha. Part of it is that when I get up in the morning, my pelvis is in excruciating pain and I only have enough patience to shave my pits in the morning. It's really painful to put my leg up to shave and it gets really irritated....

  BUT, in my defense, I used to keep it all shaved consistently. I had it waxed a couple times, but I wasn't a fan of the burning sensation along with ripping out the hair... Hopefully I'll work up enough energy and pain tolerance to be able to shave soon

  *hangs head in shame*

  I get a Brazillian about every 8 weeks.  If I wanted it really clean all the time, 5-6 weeks would probably be better, but 8 weeks just works with my general schedule.

  I can't believe you girls can shave!  I did it once or twice and found it way more painful than waxing.

  I'm a shaver/trimmer...  I prefer to use conditioner when I shave - it seems to work better for me.

  I got waxed once and it bruised me.  Like, huge, purple-black bruise in the crease of my hip... sooo not attractive.  Also, it was some of the worst pain ever - I was nauseous afterward!

  Shave/trim, although I am considering having laser, mainly because our practice got a new laser, and they have been testing it out on any employees who wanted it until everyone is comfortable with the new settings (I know that sounds terrible, but they are all very experienced).  The only thing is (and I'd warn TMI, but look what thread I'm on) I've been told your hair must be....extremely dark for it to be totally effective, and we aren't sure it'll do enough for me.  Still, the idea of never shaving again after three treatments.....wow..... We'll see.

  Why would that be?  I know it's supposed to be easier to wax lighter hair, but it seems like a laser would be the same on any hair?

  I have light-ish hair, and I've looked into the laser.  Apparently, darker hair absorbs more of the energy from the laser, making it react to the laser better.  Light hair, on the other hand, doesn't absorb as much, so it may or may not work on light hair.  That's just my understanding though - I could definitely be wrong.

  Well, I keep it trimmed and a shaved bathing suit line for the most part (at least in the spring and summer) and occasionally do a waxing or Brazilian. But in the fall/winter, similarly to my legs, it's no-man's land. Luckily, my DH doesn't really seem to mind - I mean, after all, I don't tell HIM to shave.

  Haha... I tell DH I'm keeping him warm in winter with my leg hair... he gets over it and doesn't really complain.
