  • how much hair do i need to leave before i go for a wax:confused:
    i keep wanting to go for one but if i see hair i freak out and shave it all off, poor oh has developed a rash though so im convinced its stubble rash off me:eek:
    will two weeks growth be enough:confused: a month seems a horrible long time to cope with!

    There are a few others over on the pregnany thread which have said the same thing.

    I have to confess I would be completely freaked out though to think that my (male) doctor would even notice whether I'd waxed or not, or would care whether I had or hadn't! :eek: :eek: :eek:

    :D If you end up having to have a c section they will shave you for free with a mans electric razor :eek: Quite moneysaving but very itchy regrowth wise!

    A friend of mine had her bikini line waxed to go away on holiday when she was 16 and the hair never grew back! - how cool is that! :cool: certainly saved her a few bob over the years!

    That would be brill. I had laser treatment on my underarms a few years ago because the hairs there grew really thick and fast (like a man's beard - lovely). I couldn't afford to finish the treatments (these were pre-MSE days and were paid for on a credit card), but I'm still happy I did it - now I only shave them once a week at most and there's only a few very fine hairs that grow.

    I'm intrigued by the brazilian; what areas does it get rid of? I know it leaves you with a strip at the front, but did someone say they do 'underneath' :o and, umm, bottom? ALL of the underneath? (cripes I bet that hurts), and bottom... well, surely not the cheeks?? Which only leaves one other bum part, which would have to be, well, pulled apart... ? (sorry, I tried so hard to word this post politely)

    (Disclaimer: I do not have hairy bum cheeks.)

    OMG this is the best post ever....its hilarious!!!!:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :T

    Right my question...never been...so are you completely knickerless or do you keep them on (obviously not granny pants) and they go round the edges?:o
    You may walk and you may run
    You leave your footprints all around the sun
    And every time the storm and the soul wars come
    You just keep on walking

    You can keep your knickers on if you want or they give you paper ones and they just move it around when needed. :D

    Lucky you! - I had 2 sections and both times before I went to theatre they got an electric razor and dry shaved the pubic area! - very itchy afterwards to add to the discomfort of the section wound - yuk!

    It took me ages to word it! I kept deleting it and starting again.

    That's so so funny. It's just made me think of an article I read in a magazine about embarrassing incidents and this girl wrote in about going to the loo at the doctor's just before her smear test. There was no loo paper so she used a tissue that was loose in her handbag. During her smear test, the nurse pulled a postage stamp out of her pubes that must have been stuck to the tissue from her bag. Things like this worry me - what if that happened during a brazilian?
