I would like to book a Brazilian wax but is it really as painful as people say?
Visiting Brazil can be a hair-raising experience. Unlike other bikini waxes this involves having everything removed, apart from a small strip of hair -- the "landing strip"! How much it will hurt really depends on your personal pain threshold.
For those of you who are familiar with a leg wax, you'll know the associated twinges -- a little uncomfortable but totally worth the hair-free result. Obviously your bikini section is going to be a little more sensitive than your legs, but it's also a smaller area, and a professional, seasoned waxer will work quickly and efficiently. You'll be hair-free in no time at all.
Timing your waxing session for just after your period, when your hormones are at their most stable, should make it less painful. Devotees swear that the more you wax the less it hurts, too!
If you are brand-new to waxing, we suggest you have a leg wax first -- and if you're still nervous, why not try a basic bikini wax -- you'll get an idea of your pain threshold without committing to anything too extreme.
