Smokinhotbooks Gets Waxed

in Random Funny 82 Comments

For those of us blessed with a more ‘primal’ look, we have very limited option in which to ‘landscape’. I won’t go into the specifics but after reading so many books and ::cough:: seeing various ladies blessed with a beautiful manicured ‘area’, I thought what the heck, I’ll succumb to peer pressure. So I make my appointment to go for the most extreme of waxes…the Brazilian.  

Well, hindsight is 20/20 and what the f was I thinking! Here I am, lying down with a see through paper thong chatting away with my soon to be torturer. First of all, they don’t tell you going in that you have to have a bit of flexibility. Thank goodness I do yoga because I could see some people having some trouble grabbing their leg to their chest in an effort to expose any nether hairs. That’s the first thing they don’t tell you. Second, everyone knows that it’s going to be painful, it’s waxing, and it goes with the territory. What I don’t think what I was quite prepared for was just how much of ‘myself’ I would be exposing to my now BFF, Lauren.  

So I am asked would I prefer a ‘strip’ or nothing at all. In an act of what can only be viewed as insanity I agree to have it all taken off. To go bare like the PETA ads. What a fool I was do EVER agree to such a thing. Not only am I exposing myself to a complete stranger who probably knows my lady parts better than Mr. Smokin at this point, but I am also paying someone to apply hot to burning wax on the most sensitive part of my body.  

The first rip goes. Ok, not so bad, eyes teared up a bit, but nothing I can’t handle. Then she applies the wax to the ‘inner’ area. Yes, ‘that’ area.  I’m a little scared at this point because now instead of having a mild stinging sensation, each time she is ripping my hair out, the pain is increasing. Now it’s a sharp burning. My headband has fallen off, my legs are splayed as if I am being filmed for an amateur p0rn  and I’m dreading this next rip. Rippppp! I go from lying down to upright. I’ve completely jack-knifed to a sitting position and am panting after yelling out “Jesus Christ on a crutch”. Why Jesus was on a crutch is beyond me, but it was just instinctual, organic even. I am contemplating running out of the room. I can’t possibly take any more, and there’s half a check left and a whole other ‘inner’ area. My excruciating torment continues. I’m praying to every deity I know. I’m apologizing for all the bad things I’ve done, telling God that I won’t visit RainonRoof and TheBanana Blog anymore, I’ll reform, I swear.  

So after her third application of wax to an area that is now on fire, (oh yeah, should your hair not be long enough, it’s three more coats of wax to get those stubborn little bastards) I finally start to breathe again. Then I start to feel a light pinching, my nerves and now hairless hair follicles are going a little haywire so I’m not quite sure what that sensation is. I look down and Oh. My. God. She has tweezers! After the burning wax what hair could have possibly survived? The pinching continues until I finally break out and say “I’ll get the rest at home”. Lauren blessedly takes pity on me and stops. I’m given a little time to recooperate as she leaves the room.  I gingerly crawl off the table and stumble over to my clothes. I look down and gasp. My skin looks like lobster colored chicken skin. It’s so inflamed that I can actually feel heat radiating from the trauma area. I try to fix my hair, wipe my sweated brow and take a few deep breaths to regain my dignity.  

I’ve come to the conclusion that there isn’t enough money in the world to make me go through that again. I for one, am going to embrace my inner primate and do as God intended, just shave.

(This is a combined experience with KC and K-Khan’s waxing adventures. Separately of course, because that would be weird to go together)

What about you, any wax on and wax off stories?

  1. Oh, for the love of all that is holy. I’d been contemplating. Thanks for talking me out of it!! But the question is… does Mr. Smokin like it? If he does, tell him to get waxed, too. *g*

  2. O-M-G!!!! Thank you, THANK YOU for writing about this experience. I know, that sounds really bad in light of your pain, but I’ve been seriously debating for ages about getting the infamous Brazilion but luckily I’m a total coward. Gawd that sounded freakin’ painful. Whew, so glad for my inner coward at the moment.

    May I suggest an ice pack??

    (((HUGS))) VFG

  3. Okay ladies, I am going to have to put my foot down here and demand that you cease all reading of Lora Leigh material at once!! All those hairless cooters she’s always writing about caused this, I’m convinced of it.

    Dear god, I nearly wet myself at the tweezers. I am lol’ing so hard right now I have tears. So how long until you can uh….use it? ROFLMFAO!!!!!!!!!!

  4. By the way, you KNOW I’m going to have to tweet the shit out of this post tomorrow. Brace yourselves.

  5. OMFG I’m in hysterics. NO ONE understands how awful it is, until they have it done. I don’t know how those bitches can keep going back…once was enough tyvm. TWEEZERS? Is she mental?! I would have kicked her in the teeth! The first and LAST time I went, the wax lady was playing classical music and ripping in time to it, yes not happy THEN she started telling me all about the celebrity cooch she’d waxed in the past. Umm plz don’t tell me Goldie gets her ladyparts waxed, she is old enough to be my Mom!

    Never again, I will itch for the three days after shaving…but at least I won’t be swollen.

  6. I am a happy Brazilian wax customer. The next time you go in, find someone who can do “hard wax” it is much more comfortable and I’ve never had much pain when I do it.
    I totally agree about being a contortionist, though, lol. I’ve been talking about Britney Spears to my lovely, bff ;) , on my hands and knees with all my goods hangin out. It’s quite an experience…
    The place that hurt the worst for me were my legs. You know, the part by your ankles? I almost kicked the woman waxing me. I was afraid I’d do her bodily harm before I could stop myself, lol.

  7. Okay, I have been waxing for about 10 years now and the first time is the worst. I remember doing that first one and then having nightmares about going back and I have a super high tolerance for pain. However, each time that you go back it gets easier and easier. Now, it takes about 10 minutes and 6 or so strips of wax for me to be done and nice and clean again. I will say that you do have to be ultra comfortable with yourself to lay there with your legs spread and your heels almost touching. The person that you trust to wax you better be someone that you have no shame being in front of.

  8. OMG that was extremely hilarious! I am so not brave enough to try that. Thanks for the blow or is that rip by rip? lol

  9. Oh. My. Gawd. That was freakin’ hilarious!! (And for the record, I’m laughing with you, not at you.) I do not have a high pain tolerance when it comes to hair removal so I don’t think I’d ever have the balls to get waxed. Can you sit?

    And I came here from Fiction Vixen’s tweet, so clearly she wasn’t kidding!

  10. I don’t know what’s more disturbing…the nightmares I’m probably going to have in sympathy or the fact that they’ll probably feature Pat Morita.

    Shaving suddenly doesn’t seem like a chore.

    And tweezers? Ewwww.

  11. @Lori since the ::cough:: area is so inflamed this is Mr. Smokin’ face ::wince:: “maybe you shouldn’t wax anymore”. Me: Sighs.

    @VFG If you are going to get waxed I recommend drinking a bottle of win or six pack of beer. The worst part is after the initial ripping is that you have to do it over and over and over again. Often she would pat/spank the area to lessens the pain, but it only made it worse O_o

    @FV ROTFL!!!! “Hairless cotters *wipes eyes* oh god I’m going to have to remember that.

    K-Khan just got her first brazilian ‘today” I had mine before my wedding, I was out of commission for 3 days. The area was so inflamed (front to back mind you) it hurt to, you know, do your business. The worst part is, I still had wittle hairs I had to shave so I looked like a bad haircut.

    @Nat I’ve blocked out my first waxing experience…I do know I was yelling so loud she had to inform me to quiet down as I was disturbing the other spa customers. The fact that she tweezed what felt like hours, is what made me want to curl into the fetal position and suck my thumb.

    @Queen B I hate you. My close girlfriends who happen to Twainese and barely have any hair, talked me into it. If you are coarse hair waxing is muy painful. I’m debating to just lazer the hell out of myself. Boom, hair no more.

    @Jen the first time was so painful (4 years ago) I just can’t go back. I do know the pain lessens with time, but damn how many more times…

    One girlfriend told me instead of having to grab her legs the wax lady made her sit up on all fours and had her spread ‘em.

  12. Don’t look at me, I worked out a long time ago that the occasional nick from that wonderful invention Mr. Gillette gave us is going to be far less painful than having several inches of hair and the top layer of skin ripped off of your fun bits.

  13. KC – I encourage you to google Magic Cream instead. No pain.

  14. ROFL!!! Oh this is such a great post. And just think… all that itching when it grows back!

    Now, everyone will be sporting 70′s porn style after this post!! LOL

  15. @e yes very painful. I had to wear loose lines for a week.

    @Book Vixen sitting can be uncomfortable…I did mine right before my wedding so I had to be on scratchy plan seat for 24 hrs.

    @BBB tweezer should only be for your eyebrows and stray chin hairs, anything below the belt is just not right.

    @mighty buzzard welcome, aren’t you glad you stopped by for this post ;)
    Question: Would guys…you kno,w want to wax their nether bits or back there bits? I’ve often quizzed my hubs on this and he always shakes his head emphatically and screams “No!”

  16. @Kindle Vixen is magic cream like nair (sp?)? If it reeks I’m not putting that anywhere near by down there bits, my doc lady says the only elements that should be around there are water & soap.

    @Melissa ROTFL!!!! A new trend “bush is back” –>OMG I can’t believe I just said that

  17. After reading on Mandi’s site that you stuck my quote on a post it – I’m so proud! – I just had to comment – Yes! I get waxed but I leave a strip, that’s the only way to handle it. My Nazi esthtician, as I fondly refer to her, keeps my mind occupied with the most insane gossip while she rips away and before I know it…voila! Done! Once you’ve had a good bikini wax, you’ll never go back. She tells me her clients say, and I quote, “The sex is better without the bush.” Um…yup. LOL!

  18. @K.C. Oh hell no. I have better sense than that. The razor is king.

  19. I’m SO laughing at the Lora Leigh comment, because as I read the post, I immediately thought about Lora Leigh’s books and how those women just go in and never complain.

    My hubby’s comment? “I always wondered how women can go through that and then say, ‘Eek, a spider!’”

  20. KC stop, i’m going to die. I swear to god I was in a funk all day and someone how your vajayjay made my day a little bit brighter.

    Never thought I’d say that to a woman LMFAO

  21. @Julia ::writes on pink post it ‘sex is better w/o the bush’:: Got it. Hmm so one must leave a strip to lessen the pain.

    @Mighty Buzzard Yes but the whole prickly pear bush grow back…is it worth it? I agree just like content, razor is king. And so is lazer.

    @Lori ROTFL hair removal is a necessity spiders are just plain creepy.

  22. KC and K-Kahn, you are brave women. One, for waxing your cooters, and two for posting about it. I haven’t laughed this hard in a long time. Now I have to go to bed thinking about your INFLAMED vajayjays!!

  23. @K.C. Absolutely, feels great while it’s gone and most guys are used to shaving daily anyway. Pricklys only last a couple of days if you do decide to go native again though.

  24. First, effing hilarious. It brought me to tears in the best possible way. *runs to grab kleenex*

    Second, I’ll add my name to the list of happy waxers. I’ve been waxing for almost 15 years (brazillian for 10). If my vajay could talk, she’d probably say “WTF? Are you nuts?” if I came near her with a razor. I totally agree with Jen that the first time is the worst, but it gets so much easier and if I do say so, oh so pretty. With the right esthetician, you should even be able to relax. Stop balking. It’s true!!

    p.s. don’t forget post waxing treatments (witch hazel and hydrocortisone — loofah (a few days later))

  25. K-Khan (The Other Half of Smokinhotbooks)

    OMG, I can’t even sit. My poor coochie pie is so swollen and angry. I think the worst was being so happy that she had moved on to my booty region that I welcomed the fetal position she made me go into. I think I’ll leave this type of waxing to porn stars, models, and Lora Leigh’s characters.

  26. K-Khan (The Other Half of Smokinhotbooks)

    @ Tracy If someone comes at me with a loofa I’ll shank them. NO ONE is touching me. not even an excited Mr. Smokin who can’t wait to see my new ‘hair-cut’.

  27. @K-Khan What did I tell you, lazer is the way to go.

    @Fiction Vixen I can sleep better at night knowing you’ll be thinking of my vajayjay.

    @The Mighty Buzzard I stole my hubs razor once, never knew male razor were better than lady razor.

  28. I am so relieved that I read your blog post!! I had been contemplating doing a bikini wax, but now I definitely dont want to ever do it!! Unless I am knocked out, there is not way on earth or heaven I will do that. I would prefer to do either shaving or try out the Laser one day. Besides there are very few people I would actually allow to see certain areas ( if you know what I mean) I am sorry you had to go through hell, no one should have to suffer through that, but I am glad that you posted about it before it was too late for moi!!! Hope you are feeling better though!

  29. Buahahaha! You’re panicking the flock! LOL.
    You realize that this is gonna go down in infamy, right? Twitter’s been abuzz with this for a couple hours now. I’m gonna go to bed hearing about inflamed vajayjays and wake up to it *snort*

  30. KC – it probably is a lot like nair, but its made for the face. Anyway you don’t want to shove it into certain parts if you know what i mean LOL and generally its a tricky thing to get the timing right. Eventually I decided it was just easier to shave daily.

    I could never convince hubby to wax, but I did recently take the beard grooming kit to him … lol.

  31. ok, and how long can waxing last? I mean if its inflamed for like 3 days that seems to defeat the purpose LOL

  32. OMG! That was hilarious. I was laughing and cringing at the same time. I have a high pain tolerance but I’m not sure if I could go with a full Brazilian (much less the wonderful positions you find yourself in). I also always wondered how Lora Leigh’s characters put up with the initial waxing. Thanks for sharing!

  33. @K.C. Wouldn’t know on that. I use an old fashioned, double edged safety razor. More dangerous than a 3-5 bladed modern one but makes for a much closer and quicker shave with less razor burn once you’re used to it.

    @Kindle Vixen Guys are a hell of a lot easier to convince to shave than women if you know how. And by way of a public service announcement, here it is. Have him grow a week or two worth of beard. Tell him to go shave the left half of his face but leave the right half alone. Once he’s got that, go up to him lick across his right cheek and then his left the same way. Cup his manly bits and tell him something along the lines of “Now think about feeling the same difference down here while you finish shaving.” Unless he’s a complete lost cause on shaving, his face won’t be the only thing bald when he comes out of the bathroom.

  34. LMAO! Oh, lord. I have never waxed and after reading your post, I’m never doing it either!

  35. I think you lied to God when you said you were done with rain on roof!! ;)

    You KILL me!!! It’s not even 7AM here and I’m in slight hysterics.

  36. OMFG, this was awesome and I am laughing so hard. I had to keep from screaming out loud when you said TWEEZERS….Jesus! Great story, I shall share with my sister since she is getting married in December and just might want to do the same. How can you walk? Ouch!

  37. OMFG…How did I miss that yday.
    ROFL!
    *takes notes while going through the comments*
    But I really think my epilator is as much pain as I can take.
    Thanks for sharing that experience.

  38. See…I couldn’t even write my email addy right cuz of all that laughing.

  39. lmao..this is why I’ve never been brave enough to try the said wax. :)

  40. OMG… I did it once… that was it.. sorry I have tears… I am laughing so hard, with you, you poor thing.. the tweezers.. oh lord. Veet is my answer!

  41. I get waxed every three weeks. I swear by all that is holy that it doesn’t hurt as bad as you keep going. The hair comes in finer and thinner. I’m more of a landing strip kind of girl, so I don’t get the, uh, whole enchilada. Which requires less contortion.

    But my waxer, Angie, is going through a nasty divorce and if she’s having a “bad Tim day” it hurts WAY more. It’s 20% about the hair, 30% about the wax, and 50% about the waxer, IMO. But since I’m of Welsh decent and a victim of the inappropriate bikini line, I get waxed.

    And then I use “coochie cream” (yes, that’s what it’s called) to soothe and help combat ingrowns. Plus, loofa. Every day. It’s totally worth it to me, my dear.

  42. This is why I am pro-hair.

    There’s pain, and then there’s…..well, pain.

    Embrace your natural self, ladies!

    I sure hope hubbies appreciated the sacrifice.

  43. Oh my Smokin that was so funny! I have no stories to share! HECK NO! I’m so not doing that! LOL!

  44. WOW. That sounded excruciatingly sore!

    Luckily, I just got my eyebrows waxed yesterday… definitely not so sore!

  45. This post and my own at home waxing fiasco is why I’ll never get waxed down there. A couple of years ago I bought an at-home kit, thinking I can do it at home and it won’t be that bad. WRONG! One application and one rip later, I packed up the at-home kit and threw it in the trash. The pain was unbearable! Like you said, I’ll shave, just as God and Bic intended. LOL!

  46. I get the nether regions waxed, but not the DEEP SOUTH nether regions! And I only do it in the summer cause its better that razor burn. But you are very brave hon! When I go, I request the hard wax, much less painful, but not as quick. So then you must decide, can I bear more pain or prolonged awkwardness of waxer all up in my shizz? Its a toughie! :)

  47. hehe.. I have a hard time getting a massage from strangers when I’m topless.. I can’t imagine exposing a total stranger to my lady land without enough drinks to make me pass-out drunk.. I hope Mr. Smokin’ appreciates it!

  48. OMG ROFLMAO tears streaming down my face. You have cured me.

  49. @Queen of Romance I think Bikini wax is supposed to be less painful…hell, who am I kidding it’ll hurt probably just as much as a Brazilian O_O

    @Kindle Vixen chemical lotion on the face O_O heck no!

    I think the wax lasts a few weeks, but I had to shave some areas so…yeah it looked a disease patch of grass growing back in, some parts bald, other with some hair.

  50. OMG! That was soo freaking hilarious. You two crack me up! Oh, and I am so not getting waxed…EVER!

  51. @Eva Leigh’s characters have it so easy, hot Alpha guys that want to have sex with them all the time, great sex, and no hair.

    @The Mighty Buzzard LOL. So glad Rm. Smokin’ is on the manscape bandwagon, @KindleVixen, @MB is right you should do that for hubs, trust men guys like the sensation of no hair down there. Also I’ve been told it makes the wee-wee look bigger.

    @Mandi *hangs head* I have sinned. I cannot stay away from rainonroof. Jesus forgive me *cries*

    @Mar if your sis is going to wax for her wedding have her do it month before see if she can ‘walk’ then a week before the wedding. Srsly tho, so not worth it. The razor is my friend.

    @Susi eep you have an epilator that is like so painful, one time my gf was using her and ripped off a chunk of skin. After seeing that I’ve had a healthy fee of the epilator.

    @Colette smart girl ;)

    @ Minx is veet like nair?

    @Kati oh snap, didn’t even think of what happens when your wax lady has a bad day.

    @Penelope hubs took one look and winced “maybe you shouldn’t do that anymore” he’s okay with my razor.

    @Bells you are right to only tweez or raz

    @Jean I remember the first time I plucked I looked like someone smacked me on my eyebrows. The worst part is when you do your ‘stache and have to walk out in public. Everyone knows and is looking at you.

    @Marquetta oh my god you did it at home? There is something instinctual about not wanting to be in pain…I tried to wax but couldn’t bring myself to rip off the strip.

    @Kindlelicious uh I only thought there was one kind of wax. I think I ‘might’ do bikini, maybe, okay probably not.

    @Heather I felt like I should have least hugged my waxer before leaving, she’s seen me in positions not even hubs gets to see.

    @ Kendra *takes a bow

  52. K-Khan (The Other Half of Smokinhotbooks)

    Status Update: I thought I had reached the end of my trip down humiliation road, but alas something else popped up. I found that some wax had been left in my nether crack and now my butt checks are glued together. I am walking like John Wayne and I feel like someone took an acid wash and sandpaper and went to town on my va-jay-jay.

  53. OMG NO!!! Ummmm would a warm bath help?

    @KC if nair is a cream which gets rid of hair then yes! I use there sensitive one very carfully down there. Not shave since a friend got a ingrowing hair and it turned into an abscess-…. yeah ouchie!

  54. OMG! Hilarious! Your post had me laughing out loud. Too stinkin funny. Sorry about your inflamed girlie bits. After reading your post I’ve decided to NEVER experience that for myself. Shaving works for me!

  55. OMFG I am laughing so hard I’m crying and can barely type. I laser my legs, bikini line and underarms. And that is it. I remember reading a Lora Leigh and right after the waxing the hero tells her something like, “You’ll be fine in a few hours and tonight I’ll show you how much better it will be.” And I was thinking, are you nuts?! If you let that a**hole near you without a court order you are INSANE.

  56. I have a pretty high pain tolerance, but this post had my eyes watering in sympathy. Yes, I have contemplated that ‘procedure’ before (I will think of it this way, forevermore), but can wield a razor fairly competently, so have never gone through with it. AND I NEVER WILL, NOW.

    Kudos to Smokin’ for lasting the whole way through. The tweezers would have been the end for me, too.

  57. i made the mistake of wearing jeans my frist time i got a wax, about a week before my wedding, and i had TO WALK HOME! the perils of living in the city…i only go to stores, salons, restaurants i can walk to, and in this case walking home in jeans was not only painful, but humliating because someone asked me if i was ok since i was walking so strangely.

    but now i go every 3-4ish weeks and it’s MUCH easier as everyone has mentioned. also i always wear a skirt or sweatpants and take an ib-profen beforehand. and EXFOLIATE all the time!

  58. @Minx You can get abscess from shaving ::yells: OMG I just can’t win. That’s it I’m lazering I don’t care if I have to go to a loan shark for the loan.

    @Lisa Sanchez I’ve been shaving for years what’s a few more 30 some odd years to go.

    @Samantha Kane Nobody should touch the girly bits after waxing! Leigh needs to rewrite that scene where waxed heroine beats the sh*t out of the breed for making her wax. They can have make up sex once her inflammation dies down.

    @Lille H If I even let my hand (holding the tweezers) accidentally brush up against my nether region I panic and almost black out from the waxing memories.

    @Lusty Reader I couldn’t even wear sweat pants! It was too effing hot and made it worse by sweating…sweating on inflamed area just plain sucks. I cannot believe you had to walk home your first time, major kudos to you my friend. I had to drive with my legs splayed open like I was opened for ‘business’ my car didn’t have tinted windows at the time O_o. I can’t show my face on 17th street again.

  59. I heart you madly.

    And Lora Leigh always made it sound way sexy.

    Not to go into specifics, but, uh, I feel your pain.

    L

    PS I think the hero in that there LL book spank the heroine on her doodah after that. Or something? IDK. I don’t read PRON.

    much.

  60. I learned about hard wax on accident. I went for a bikini wax at a massage/esthetics school instead of a spa and they just asked me. I was like “whaaaaa…what do you mean there is a choice?! So much less painful. And I apparently need to read some LL.

  61. Everyone needs to read your responses to people… ROFL!!! Oh, thank you for making my week SO much funnier!

    Btw, hope you didn’t pass any truckers. They can easily look into your car to see how you were driving. :D

  62. @lisabea that’s just not practical, him spankin’ her doo-dah, nevermind that I totally believe the mating hormone and breed DNA ::waves hand dismissively::

    P.S. my waxing experience was so traumatic, if candle wax drips on me my eyes cross and ‘i’m at that place again’.

    @Kindlelicious LL writes about the ‘barb’ therefore I love to read it.

    @Melissa ::hangs head:: I probably did. Don’t tell my Mom that I didn’t sit like a lady

  63. ROFLMAO!! From the moment you wrote “My headband has fallen off” I had trouble reading the rest of your post thanks to the laughing tears rolling down my cheeks! Oh, girls, I’m sorry for your pain but this post was hilarious. Do like me, stick to Veet! Always smooth like a baby and no raiser burn or inflamated parts at all, nor glued together butt cheeks! LOL.

  64. O.M.G.R.O.F.L.M.A.O!!!!!!!
    Honey I am so sorry you had to go through that… Razors are my best friend. Wax is for candles and hot sex… lol
    Mr. Smokin’ can kiss and make it better huh… lmbo!!!!
    Thanks for the start of a great weekend!!!
    Hugs to you honey!

  65. @ KC… she is gonna kill me… but my friends story… new BF and busy life… shaved very quickly and did the deed, he went on vacay and she thought be natural for few days, didn’t notice ingrowing hair (agree with whoever said exoliate and use cream.. cooch cream sounds fun!) ignored hair which turned into lump- got scared and ignored lump (silly cow =P) when it got to the point she couldn’t sit down friend who is a nurse asked what was wrong, dragged her to A&E (ER room in USA) diagnosed with abscess, given antibiotics, a cream and had to lave it lanced and drained. Off work for 4 days, and I had to tell her boss coz she was too embarrassed. So I guess the answer is don’t ignore your lady garden, keep pruning and maintain… heheee…. she is so gonna kill me!

  66. @Cecile ::nods head emphatically:: wax is for candles!

    @Minx your friend’s story is like one of those scared straight videos they used to show in jr. high. I shall vigilantly keep watch over my lady garden.

    @Janna I had forgotten about the ::cough:: extra wax bits, I think I blocked it out. From now on I’m keeping it old school with my razor. Hell they even make ones that vibrate nowadays.

  67. OMG, I almost fell off my chair reading this post! And these comments! I have never tried waxing, but you have done us never-trieds quite the public service favor here with these descriptions. And Kati! With your waxer who has bad days! Yow! You are very loyal. So, are we going to hear if it was worth it? Are you going to be living a lora leigh lifestyle now?

  68. KC: OMG… I am laughing so hard, I have tears in my eyes. My hubby wondered what could possibly be so funny. I told him he wouldn’t understand.

    I decided to go for my first wax when I went to Hawaii 1.5 years ago. I refused to do the Brazillan. Just make it trim and neat. It didn’t hurt too bad and I now go regularly to keep myself neat down there!

    Now I have to share this b/c I laugh every time I see this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TiJNewpCnY

  69. @Carolyn Crane I intend to live my life as the good Lord intended with a razor and shaving bumps.

    @twimom227 ::clears throat:: when you get a bikini wax do they, ah, get the back there hair?

    If there is ever a next time I feel that a bandana and a six pack are a necessity.

  70. KC… I will admit something to you, but then I’ll have to kill you.

    I believe I am part Breed.

    SHHH… I don’t want the Genetics Council discovering me. If I told you how often I shave my legs… well, I’d have most women after me to kill me as well! I can get my bikini area waxed (not the insides, just neat and tidy and all the way down) and it only takes maybe 6 “rips.” I’m just not that hairy of a gal. Like I said… part Breed.

  71. @twimom your secret is safe with me ::flashes the girl scout honor gesture::

  72. @ K-Khan – I had tears from your story with the walking like John Wayne – they were laughter not sadness but still – tears!!

  73. I need to brace myself whenever I decide to come over here – you make my day…
    Contortionist I am not so without further ado – thank you for the public service deed…

    E.H>

  74. KC and K.Khan, I’m going to ear mark this post so I can read in peace because it’s going to take a moment reading all these comments too but tweezers, they actually took out those torture devices OMG *winces in empathic pain* This post is going to be my breakfast date tomorrow ;)

  75. @Leontine don’t drink and read, s’ verra dangerous b/c the comments are hilarious.

    @EH Srsly my waxer saw me in positions hubs has never even been privy to. That means something, I should probably buy her dinner or something.

    @Kaetrin it’s true I saw K-Khan walking funny the next day. Poor thing.

    OMG ROFLMAO! *wipes tears* I’m sorry to laugh at your pain, but I couldn’t help it. *giggle, snort* But thanks for sharing this experience and I know what to stay away from. Nair works just fine for me. lol

  77. *snortle*

    Holy hell in a handbasket! I once asked my friend/hairdresser to borrow her DVD on “how to” for guys and gals. I figured it was good research, but mostly it was because I wanted to KNOW before I did it. I don’t care how calm they make it look, I winced just seeing the video.

    Shaving sucks too because of the fiery-fleas-from-hell sensation for the next week. Geez. I’m thinkin’ Veet and Nair would make a chemical burn, yes? Because even trimming makes me itch. Doesn’t mean I don’t, I’m just always interested in new and better ways to improve the um, inconvenient after effects of vaginal depilatory action. Heh.

    K-Khan, K.C., if I am EVER spread out like that, it had better be because I’m invested in some serious fun.

  78. @Mai Watts I’m saving all my hard earned mulah for lazer treatment so I don’t have to keep putting myself on display for my waxing BFF.

    @Ferishia Nair smells worse than my mother’s 19080′s perm treatment therefore I can’t use it. Plus I think it makes me break out b/c of the chemicals. What is a girl to do?
