Waxing more painful?

Hey there, I usually get a Brazilian every few months but have been putting it off since I remember waxing being super painful during my last pregnancy. I think I'm going to go for it, but was wondering if anyone else has had increased skin sensitivity and pain when waxing.

PS I can't find the search function everyone is always going on about, so I am deeply sorry if this post is redundant and upsets anyone.

    Yup but I starting going to a new place that uses better wax but it still hurts like the dickens.

    You have a lot more blood flowing down there. It's going to be a lot more sensitive for a while. If you've ever gotten waxed around your period... Same pain. Just bite the bullet and go lol

    I go monthly for a Brazillian wax. I find that if I take a few months off then go, it hurts way more! When I keep up with it and go each month I don't find it really that painful at all. I definitely recommend continuing to go, but maybe make it more often so it will hurt less!

    Thanks guys. I was shaving but can't really reach anymore! Someone told me sugaring was more gentle...

    Generally if you go somewhere that uses hard wax (no strips) it's less painful. European Wax Center uses hard wax if they have a branch near you. I've become a little more sensitive, but like someone already said: if you go more frequently it hurts less. I go every four weeks.

    I don't go for bikini waxes regularly but have been while pregnant and it does hurt more. I tried the hard wax as well.

    Sugaring hurts way more than hard wax, but IMO it lasts longer and I don't get ingrown hairs.

    At first I didn't notice that it hurt much more but I switched to getting a regular bikini wax instead of my usual Brazillian just to give myself a break. Last time I went I could barely take the regular bikini wax! I decided that I'll just put the waxing on hold until the end of the pregnancy. But I'll probably end up going again once I'm too big to manage things myself :))

    I'm an Esthetician and at the spa I worked at my pregnant clients would frequently have more sensitivity and it took a bit longer time to complete the service

    I've only gotten a Brazilian wax once, a week before my wedding a few years ago. It hurt like the devil! I was barely able to make it through and couldn't shave the strays for several days because the skin was swollen and sore. I do remember asking the lady if anyone ever stopped before they were finished, and she said that only 2 ladies had to stop and both were pregnant. For some reason I've always remembered that. I wanted to get laser hair removal this year, but I didn't get around to it in time before getting ptegnant and from what I've read, you can't have it done while pregnant. So I don't know what I'll do when I can't see to shave anymore. Probably shave blind and hope for the best! Lol!

    I heard that the more you get waxed, the less it hurts. But after that one time, I decided the pain was not worth the money I spent, the several days of "recovery" for my skin, and hair started growing back after 2 weeks. Not my cup of tea, I have no idea how women do it on a regular basis!
