The first one is sooo bad. It took me a whole year to try again and it was still just as bad. I forced myself to go consistently and it is so much easier and much less painful, but expensive and a pain if you have regrowth and want to wear a bathing suit but its too early for a wax. Even with going regularly, I had to learn to not shave in between no matter what because it causes the hair to grow thicker and thus more painful. I also did it all through my pregnancy. I only want it for the summer but won't stop because I am traumatized by how painful it is after a long time with shaving in between. I'd really like to save the $65 dollars every 6 weeks though.
I thought it was painful the first time or two, but after a few the hair seems to thin out and it's not as bad. I had my last one at 36 or 37 weeks pregnant, it wasn't that bad at all.
