OK, I’m having one for the first time tomorrow. Now I’m not shy or anything like that, but somewhat concerned about the pain factor. Is it worth it?
Yep
I would say so

This is quite possibly the lamest anecdotal evidence ever…
I tried to wax myself a couple times. It didn’t hurt too terribly much. I mean, obviously it hurt, but I’ve had worse pain. My guess is that it won’t hurt quite as much for you since you won’t be ripping off the strips yourself–in my experience, things like that hurt less if you don’t anticipate them.
Good luck! Report back.
With pictures.
:eek: 
What exactly is Brazilian Waxing? I mean I know it is waxing of the naughty bits, but what’s the defference from plain waxing?
I’d be more worried about potential ingrown hairs afterwards. :eek: My beauty therapist said that one of her customers would get particularly bad ingrowns after a brazilian, and she’d come back a couple of weeks later to get the ingrown bits uprooted with a sterile needle.
Different places do different brazilians. I think generally it’s understood as having all the hair (pubes and undercarriage) waxed off. Some places leave a landing strip and call the all-off procedure a brazilian XXX. I saw one place that had four options: brazilian, brazilian X, brazilan XX, and brazilian XXX!
I did it myself once to see if it would cause less of a rash than shaving. It didn’t hurt at all, but oohh - the rash! Just the same as shaving. 
There is simply no way to preserve my ultra-sensitive skin when removing hair. If only I lived in a culture that would let me be hairy…
I’ve had it done a bunch of times. I really didn’t think it hurt all that much except for a few areas. No problems with in-grown hairs and since I’m dark with black hair I like the look a LOT better than shaving. I always chicken out when they ask me to spread my ass cheeks and crouch like a tiger to get at my hidden dragon hairs I guess. Bandying my cooch about to random aestheticians in the name of beauty is humiliating enough, I’m not going to go around squatting to get at some remote hair.
Everything hair on your body save your eyebrows and the hair on your head is waxed. Just thinking about it makes me wince.
This is my biggest obstacle.
Imagine you’re at work in a salon and some random woman comes in wanting a brazilian-
“Hi I know we don’t know each other but I want to strip, spread them and let you spread me with hot wax, then inflict pain unto me.”
And you pay for that too!
