But they double-dip the stick of the girl before you and after you, too…
I did not know what waxing actually was.
I think I’ll curl up into a little ball now.

No, because they are reusing the same pot of wax. They double dipped several other people’s sticks in that wax before starting on you.
Ok. Big pot of wax. Just full to the brim with wax. To use up all that wax, it takes a solid week or two of clients, then they just put in more wax, rinse, repeat.
So, I go in. She takes a clean stick, dips it in the wax, spreads the wax on my lady bits, does the waxing end of the deal, then needs to do another spot. She takes that stick, dips it BACK IN THE WAX (after it touched God knows what part of my body), then does the same thing as many times as it requires to get the hair off my body.
Then you come in. She takes a clean stick, dips it back into the wax that is full of my yuckiness, gets a glob of wax, and throws it on.
Then someone else comes in. She takes a clean stick and dips it back into the wax with your yuckiness and my yuckiness.
You get the idea.
Wouldn’t one, um, tidy up a bit before a Brazilian? Or at least take a shower?
Wow, usually they go through a whole pot of wax JUST on me when I go in, but maybe I have more hair than most.
Okay, I suppose that could be oogy. Though again, at my place I’m usually there for just legs/arms and underarms and for that they just use one of those tube thingies. No pot of wax.
Though I’ve been to places that did the pot of wax, and it never bothered me. I don’t know, I guess I’m not that easily grossed out. I’m not about to shave, I’m not going to use Nair, and I am not self waxing, so I’ll suck it up.
Why are they singling out Brazilians? What’s different about their pubic hair?
So did I!
I think the bigger issue than the fact that a Brazilian wax involves wax all around the hoo-ha, as it were is that in many places a “full” Brazilian also involves waxing around the rear entry as well. Mmmm fecal choliform bacteria in my nice, warm wax incubator.
Shared wax pot. You’re theoretically exposed to your germs and everyone else whose stick got dipped a second time.
If something is to be made illegal, logic says it must be policed. I see from the link that normal bikini waxes are not included in the proposed ban, just full Brazilians.
If this law ever comes to pass, I wonder how many of the NJ police force will be queueing up to be on the crack squad tasked with enforcing it? 
I completely agree. I started shaving it all off when I was 18ish. I refused to let it grow enough to get waxed. A few years ago I figured I’d shaved long enough and got myself lasered.
Of course they let me know that it might not take care of all of it and that it could grow back, but as of today I have no regrowth and it did take care of all of it.
That is just stupid.
The obvious solution is to put web cameras in the waxing booths where concerned citizens can check if these salons comply with the law. Hard as it is to believe, I am sure some people will volunteer their time to help their fine state.
Don’t go splitting hairs.
OK this is going to be graphic and I cannot believe I am going to say this on a public message board but here goes:
My brazilian waxer is damn near as thorough as my gynecologist. There’s the hair you see, then there are the folds of labia, the vaginal opening, across the taint and straight up past the asshole. It all gets taken and all those areas are moist breeding grounds of disease if you have one (ok, maybe not the asshole so much, but still). Yes, before you go in for a Brazilian I do wash vigorously. But guess what? If I have an STD the washing isn’t going to make it go away!
However, I do not know what temperature kills the STD and browsing around on the web didn’t help because I’ve got one doc saying yes, you can spread disease through the melting pot and another saying the heat is enough to kill the disease.
Wow.
Wow.
I am never getting a Brazilian wax. Ever.
Oh dear, GOD. Straight up past the asshole? ShelliBean, if I ever do decide to get my pubes done, I’m giving my waxer strict orders not to stray below the cleft area. And maybe a little above that. What’s it called when you don’t want it all gone? French bikini? I def. don’t want brazilian.
Oh hell the best one (the expensive girl that I love) usually goes over it with a tweezer afterwards to make sure.
I promise it is not as painful as it sounds.
It can’t be.
