I have a girly bits-waxing question...

amiamish

I can get a bikini wax for free or upgrade to a Brazilian for $20... which would you do? And fwiw, I've never waxed other than my lip and eyebrows.

Brazilian.  I haven't had "down there" hair in years.  I cannot imagine having pubic hair, like at all. 

But having said that.  If you aren't going to maintain (or if it isn't for a special trip/occasion)  I may just go regular bikini.  Totally my 2 cents.  But I do think everyone needs to have it done once in their life.

I would do a brazilian but have her leave a strip or something if you want it. The reason I say this is that I've had bikini waxes where they literally just do the front-sides. I guess I'm a hair mofo because I have more hair that would show if I wore a bikini other than the front-sides.

I currently shave it all, and hate shaving. So, I'd love the benefit of not having to shave. I'd just scared of the pain...and the after bumps.

I don't get bumps from waxing but totally do when I shave. Take an advil before you go and they will have numbing cream if you think you need that.

Exfoliate, exfoliate, exfoliate to prevent ingrown hairs.  My lady uses a hard wax (no waxing strip involved) and it just sticks to the hair, not the skin.  So much better, IMO.

The pain gets less and less every time.  I am a pain WIMP, but it only lasts like a second and then it's done in my experience.

not odd at all=)  I use a washcloth and some St. Ives sand scrub.  They also have exfoliating gloves, you can use a loofah (but I am weird about loofahs..lol)

Brazilian all the way. I just had my first one 3 weeks ago and it wasn't nearly as bad as I anticipated it to be. And one of my BFF's did it for me. I'm going back next week for another one. DH was over the moon about it! I think I'm addicted!

This.  It is REALLY not bad, and so worth it.

You girls are brave.  I would be so embarrased to show my post baby chacha.

This!!!  I'd do it but the thought of showing that all to some stranger freaks me out.  I am avoiding making my annual GYN appt because I have to talk to her about post-baby hemhorroids and I'm freaked.
