How bad does a bikini wax hurt? (And other questions)

But They can be removed on some models.

Hmmmmmm

Okay…thank you. Yeah, I don’t normally shave at all, but when I do it’s usually completely, no landing strip or anything. Otherwise I just trim with scissors when I get more ‘german’ looking than I like. I like the completely-shaven look, personally, but I really really don’t like the itching as it grows back. At all. So I figured I’d try a bikini-level wax and then if that’s tolerable I’ll go for the full monte, so to speak.

Missed edit window. Adding…

And yeah, I don’t have a hairstylist or manicurist or anything like that to ask. I’ve always been a combination of broke (no extra cash to pay people to perform personal services), lazy (no real desire to put forth the effort to do it myself), and feminist (idealogical issues with conforming to patriarchal beauty standards, not to mention the exploitation of immigrant labor in beauty salons). So my hair is as long as nature grows it, my nails are unpolished and as long as I can stand them before trimming them myself, and my body hairs are tended only sporadically.

So, I’m totally at a loss for where to start when I get a wierd idea like this into my head.

:rolleyes:

I have the beautiful pussy of an adult woman, hair and all. It’s clean, neat, and highly attractive. My sweetie would rather I shave my head than my pubes. Not that it matters, because he doesn’t really get a vote on how I style any of my hair anyway. The idea that my natural body is somehow disgusting or embarrassing is juvenile. I’m a grown up. I look like one, I act like one, and any man lucky enough to know about it won’t mind.

Just wanted to add: I have no problem with women shaving, waxing, or doing anything else with their privates that makes them happy. Some women love it, and for them that’s great. It’s the idea that I have to groom and change every part of my natural body or I’m somehow a freak that I object to. What’s next, anal bleaching?

My only experiences with bikini waxing is with a Brazilian bikini wax, and I find that the “traditional” bikini waxing areas hurt more on me, so if I had started with a “regular” bikini wax, I probably would’ve gotten scared away from the Brazilian. See if there are local reviews of salons in your area online, and be careful about who you choose if you can, as results may vary widely.

I’ve had four different people wax me, and two out of the four were good at what they did. The other two consisted of one lady who left extra hairs where there shouldn’t have been any (nooks and crannies, folks!), and one that not only made me bruised and bleed down there, but told me I had too much hair down there to start with. Uh, yeah, lady, I have a pretty sparse set down there to start with; she had obviously seen women who keep up with it all the time far too often to remember what a snatch looked like with hair on it.

I’ve had chin, legs, and armpits waxed several times. Had the bikini area done once. I could do it again. Honestly, it hurts more going across the top of the triangle than it does down the sides. Nothing I couldn’t bear, though.

Oni, I don’t know how far you want to travel, but Urbane in Monrovia can do it, and so can Peaches and Cream in Glendora. Or Swan Women in San Dimas.

I have never actually been to the first two. I just know where they are.

To me, being an adult means not subjecting people to my bush when I go to the beach. But y’all can do whatever you want with your adult pussies, this isn’t communist china. Maya Angelou would be proud. Oh and I didn’t mean to say that waxing was the only way to go about things, just as long as you get that shit under control.

Most people can’t see my bush when I wear a bathing suit. Unless they’re doing things that they shouldn’t, which involve cell phone videos. I don’t really grow hairs on the bikini area and my bathing suit has enough coverage so that the hair around my pussy doesn’t show up.

Shrug

Not everyone has pubic hair that descends to mid-thigh. Plenty of women can go to the beach without mowing the lawn at all, provided that they wear a reasonably modest swimsuit. Personally, I’d rather be subjected to a couple of stray hairs peeking out of a regular bikini bottom than bald pussy paraded about in a g-string.

I don’t go to beaches; I swim nude in my own pool. :smiley:

(FTR, when I do wear a bathing suit, I check for bikini spiders, and trim any strays)

It took a moment to get past the arachnophobic gibbering, before working out what you meant by bikini spiders.

I’m still going to check for them *before * I put the bikini on. :wink:

You know, you just gave me a nightmarish flashback to the one time I saw a former roommate in a one-piece bathing suit; she apparently had pubic hairs from hell and it looked like Buckwheat was trying to escape either side of the suit. :eek:
