Waxing down there.

Emily • 25 / Married / Mama to Maddox (2009) and soon, Elijah (2016) too.
So I've been getting a Brazilian wax every 6-8 weeks for the past 6 years, usually it's no big deal. Today I went in for my usual and OMG... It felt so different! Super sensitive and I felt like I could feel each hair getting ripped out. Anyone have any suggestions on how to lessen the pain? I've heard you get more sensitive with pregnancy but damn (excuse my language), I almost quit half way through today! Lol. 
I'm not that handy with a razor, my lady parts might be on the tub floor by the time I'm done...

I get them done too. My lady is pretty quick so it's not as bad. This last time I did make sure to gently pull up on my stomach and it seemed to help when doing the top. She uses hard wax underneath so it's not as bad. Make sure they don't use salicyic acid on you after to prevent ingrown hairs.

I had only done a wax on my brows and got some skin torn off which is unusual so I can only imagine your pain. My skin got super sensitive since I got pregnant.  If you can tolerate it, then just go low with a clipper instead of clean.
