Lingerie and waxing

[NinetyWt]

Aaanamika, I’m surprised you didnt mention the Indian art of eyebrow “threading”. The shop in Jackson which started up last year has tons of ladies, both Indian and indigents clamoring for the treatment. For those unfamiliar with it, it involves the tech using two threads to trim your 'brows. No shaving, no waxing. Pretty brows, nonetheless.

(My beloved falls for me because I’m an easy-going, not-afraid-to-get-messy-or sweaty kinda gal. We get serious. He starts asking, “Why can’t you look nicer?” sigh I love him - and getting out of the clothes could be fun . . .)

I would save yourself the pain, and give hubby-to-be a swift kick in the nuts to make him shape his ideas up. :eek:

My fiance has been worried about her wedding-night lingerie - I told her

1. she’ll look great whateve
2. I’d much rather she was confortable
3. she’ll not be wearing it once we get to the bedroom

I wonder if a bikini wax would help me.

I hope it doesn’t hurt much.

You’re right betenoir, I am built like a (slightly pudgy) woman.

Thank you all for the advise. I have learned a lot!

Stay tuned for my adventures in femininity.

I think a suggestion to him is in order. Say… something like a Male Brazilian? We’re talking butt, butt crack, genitals and even the ‘taint’.

Here’s a pic of me, clothed . I’m on the right wearing the shirt that says “Wench.”

Forgive me for being personal, but you’re a babe. Go for it!

I just wanted to ad, For the Record, as it were, that bikini waxing is something you should NOT EVER EVER try at home. It is simply not possible to get a clean pull from the angles of attack available to you, and a clean pull is the difference between “ok, that wasn’t so bad” and “Holy Shiiiit!”

Go to a professional, or choose another method.

I get my lower legs waxed. After the first time only about half the hair even tried growing back. After four times, it’s even sparser. And I was a hairy gal. The woman who does them wishes she had before and after pictures, because she thinks they’d get her a lot more business!

It’s about time for me to think about getting my eyebrows done again. Plucking hurts WAAAAAY too much. Eeeyouch!

I’ve thought about getting my armpits done, but shaving them is so quick. Doing my legs was getting tiresome. Now I just have to do my thighs once a week or so. The pits take about five seconds each. Not worth the pain, IMO.

Frankly I don’t know if I’d have the nerve to get a bikini wax. The legs hurt, though not unbearably. But things up there are way more sensitive. Just pass me a beard trimmer or something…

Wow guys. Thanks for all the advise.

My beloved is a great guy, he puts put with my many, many quirks. (My OCD PTSD SOL, my crazy mother and my sometimes-so-gross-you-can’t-talk-about-it-over-a-meal career.) I wanted to surprize him for our wedding.

I’m a little bit like Tulip O’hare: raised (mostly) by my father, tough, etc.

You Dopers are great!

When my wife started complaining about my clothes, I asked her to start going shopping with me. She picks most of my clothes, since I don’t care much either way.

I keep my goatee trimmed the way she likes, and felt terrible the one time I shaved it off. She was devastated.

I think a gentleman asking his lady to try some lingerie or sexier outfits is a-ok.

However, if I were the kind of guy who is happy in sweats and a 'pull my finger" outfit, and had the hairstyles of a “Blue Collar TV” extra, then no, I wouldn’t have the right to ask her to groom/dress in any particular way.

It’s a two way street. No need to get catty if a guy asks his lady to try something new/different.

Again, this must be a YMMV type thing.

I’m a bit of a yoga aficionado, and I have no trouble, whatsoever waxing the bikini area at home.

However, I can put both my legs behind my head at the same time, so that may be of importance…

And it can be dangerous and embarassing too :eek: (one of the funniest stories I’ve ever read here :D)
