Question

Ok ladies, I finally worked up the courage to get my first Brazilian yesterday. I was so concerned about it being awkward that I didn’t even think the pain would be an issue. I’ve birthed two 9+ and 10+ pound babies medication free so I thought I had a good pain tolerance…. But HOLY CRAP. I almost quit halfway through it hurt so bad. Like worse than the majority of my labor bad. I felt like such a baby and this was the test route so I could get one for my vacation next month. Now I don’t know if I can do it. Am I the only baby? Please make me feel better 😂 But seriously, is the first time really the worst? Does it get more tolerable or not much? Also, please give any suggestions for if I muster up the courage. For reference I had hard wax and it seemed like she did pretty long strips. Thank you!!!!

Answer

Oh girl, my first was only hard wax and it was the WORST! Find an esthetician that uses soft wax, it hurts way less, it also helps if they apply immediate pressure to the area after each strip. It hurts the worst the first time because the hair follicles are full-size. After subsequent waxings, if you keep up a maintenance schedule, the hair follicles are smaller and so don't hurt as bad coming out.

Answer

Everybody is different. I’m an esthetician and most of my clients prefer hard wax over soft wax. You can also find someone who does sugaring, it feels so smooth and it’s gentler than waxing but still painful. I get them from a friend and it does suck. I have had like 5 now and the biggest thing that helps is sticking to a 4-5 week routine. Anything past that the follicles have time to get strong again and it hurts just as bad as the first time. It’s so worth it tho!!

Answer

I've personally gotten Brazilians before. It took a little under 10 minutes and it was quick. Painful but quick. Then I eventually just did it myself. I bought pre-made hard wax and did it myself. For some reason when you do it yourself it's less painful and you can go at your own pace. Maybe it's worth trying!

Answer

It does get easier the more you do it! Take an advil half an hour before your apt. Totally worth it to be consistent about it I promise!

Answer

Omg. I been wanting to schedule an appt to do this. But my pain tolerance is a -20 so after you saying all this, I may reconsider lol I think theirs a sugar wax that is suppose to hurt less, but again I never done any of it. Good luck next time though 😅 yikes!!
