I'm getting married in October 2012...i have never had a bikini wax and I'm unsure about it. I shave that area so no hairs are visible when i wear a bathing suit, but that's it. My fiance and I are still virgins and will remain so until our wedding night. I think it would be nice if I got a wax but I'm a bit of a prude and don't like the idea of a stranger seeing that area.
I'm conflicted because I'm a prude and i don't want to have to maintain a hair free area. But I think my fiance may expect me to although he would never admit that.
Please healp:(
Re: wax virgin
Hey wow, we could be twins, lol. I feel your pain completely. I am getting married in October 2012 too!
My guess is he will love you no matter what and if he doesn't say anything even if he wants to then that's on him. Plus, it probably means once more, that he does not care.
I would go with PP and just continue what you are doing and do a nice little trim so it is shorter, that is what I do just for cleanliness sake.
Maybe after you feel a little more comfortable with people being down there (sex, gyno) you can get waxed and surprise him.
You can try waxing yourself. I do my own Brazilian at home as well as a professional does (I don't mind showing the waxer my vag, I just don't want to spend the money).
I get the wax, applicators and strips from Sally's. It takes some time to get the hang of it, but you have a couple of months to practice. Using a mirror helps while you are learning.
Honestly, if I weren't comfortable with my V zone, I would prefer going to a waxer to get it taken care of quickly, rather than staring at it for an hour while I awkwardly try to wax myself and grit through the pain.
Go see a professional. A good one, so get recommendations from people you know, or google for reviews at spas or something. Showing your V zone is a fact of life for most women... Gyno visits, childbirth... being married... If you're not comfortable with it, why would your H be?
Fair enough. It's honestly not that painful, though. It smarts for a second when the strip comes off. It also doesn't take an hour.
I like your reply:)
i actually like everyone's answers.
thanks!
Why go all out now? You could leave something super special for later.
Your DH2B won't know the difference from a scruffy muffy if all he ever has is a smooth one. He won't appreciate smooth until he's had rough for a few months.
Has DH2B ever said anything relating to pubes?
ahahah, awesome reply. I've flat out told him I don't wax or anything and he seemed fine with it. It's not really a topic we chat about often.
We were the same. Both virgins when we got married, but we did definitely talk about waxing, etc. I started waxing before we got married so I'd be used to it, and honestly am obsessed with it now!! ...DH doesn't mind during the grow out period at all. As others have said, he will be THRILLED out of his mind about you and loves you no matter what.
It will likely be the last thing on his mind.
Yes it does hurt, but just for a second... like, "OH ow! OK, OK, OK I'm good" haha!
My advice: DO IT! You'll NEVER go back to shaving ever ever ever!!! (As far as waxing yourself, I would only try that after you've had a professional wax you...it's difficult to know exactly what to do!)
