Brazilian wax?!

Hey girls, 
I've been wanting to get a Brazilian wax for months now but I'm scared because of the pain. I don't have a high pain tolerance (I wince at getting my eyebrows threaded) but I really want to be smooth and clean down there. 
So how bad does it hurt? 
Any alternative? (Not shaving) 
What to do prior ? 
How long does it usually take? 
Thanks xox

I love them. Wish I could afford get them all the time. I don't find it that painful. The one that gets me is the top part, for me the hair is thinner there and it's just more sensitive. That's the only one I wince at. I prefer the hard wax. Take some aspirin or ibuprofen before hand and just relax. Be sure to moisturize and exfoliate before and after. Don't go with any lotion or anything on that day.

I love getting Brazillian waxes!!! I have a high pain tolerance so it doesn't really hurt to me, but you could take a few ibuprofen before you go.. And relax, don't tense up... Eyebrow threading hurts to me, so I'm not sure how you do it! Good luck!

I'm a master esthetician and I do Brazillian waxing. It takes about 25-35 minutes. But it does hurt like hell:(. Well at least to me. I don't have a high pain tolerance. You can try numbing cream. My favorite is getting lasered. Lasts longer and isn't as painful.
