Do you Brazilian wax.

Aisling(",)

i would all the time if i could afford it but before going away and stuff i do.

Started getting them done a year ago and have really noticed a difference in hair growth, way lighter than it was to start with. Unfortunately I'm fairly broke at the moment so will just get a bikini done. I usually trim right down with nail scissors if I havn't been for a while. Neatens it up with no razor rash or reaction to Veet.

Used to shave but its not comfortable!:(

So used Immac or Veet sorry! Anyway used that stuff to take it all off the other day!:p

Perfect i wudnt pay to be put through any pain when i can do a DIY job with same results!:D

I've had a good few californian, g-string, brazilian waxes e.t.c (notice how the amount of hair left decreases per wax type haha) My first brazilian shocked me. I felt somewhat like a plucked chicken. After that I got used to it. I somewhat stopped getting a brazilian when I moved to NZ but always make sure to keep the area neat and tidy as that's how I prefer it.

My partner on the other hand doesn't care which way it is as his introduction to porn was of the 70's variety. There was lots of hair on show in them days I definitely think that age has a big part to play in what men do and don't prefer.

Today I went to Brazilia to get a basic Brazilian, and the girl gave me a full Brazilian! So instead of a nice strip of hair, I have a wee patch the size of my thumb nail... She charged me an extra 5e too, and it was waaay more painful

She waxed right on the pubic bone, that's were it hurts the most. I've had the hollywood done twice in my life. Twice too many!! Never, ever EVER again, t'was excrutiating & what hurt more was having to pay somebody for the torture!

Nowadays I shave but in the direction of the hair growth so I don't end up with a rash or itchy re-growth, (I learned that the uncomfortable way!) For hols I will let it grow back though so I can get a bikini wax, & the bf has been well warned to expect gorilla minge!! But only temporarily...

Hollywood= total hair removal.

Except.. there is a "landing strip".

MJOR

thats all hair off aint it? Brazilian is the landing strip one... I use the boots bikini kit... I used to get a brazilian but the last time i had one i felt like i had been kicked in the groin. (sorry that is nearlly as bad as minge

Beautybeanie

Hollywood is all off. Brazilian is the landing strip or triangle or anything up front, really. The point of the Brazilian is to be able to show your booty in a g-string so the emphasis is what's taken off underneath and out back.

Yes, 5e. As in I expected to pay 47e for a basic. But I got downstairs and she charged me 52e as she had given me a Brazilian.

I was surprised too, and it was really sore too. Last time I had a much better girl. I'll ask for her in future...

She said about width of a finger. I said yes, and assumed that it'd be length too, but then I looked down and it was pretty much all whipped off!

Oh my god, I think I got the same girl that you did, cos the exact same thing happened to me last week!!! :eek:

Edit: She was really slow, and felt like she was tearing out lumps at a time!! OUCH

Ok can someone, anyone explain to me why having the appearance of a prepubescent girl would be a)attractive and b) make you 'feel better'. I would have serious concerns about any fella that preferred that look.

As I guy I think I'm qualified to answer that one.

Why we some of us prefer it, and do we even for a moment think it looks like a young girl?..

It looks cleaner, it looks tidier, it says to me that a girl appricates that a hairy <snip> can be gross looking, sweaty and smelly. Lastly it tastes clean and fresh to those of us who like to dive.

Speaking as the father of a young daughter, if I thought for a moment that my OH looked anything like that I'd be sick to my tummy. It would never cross my mind, not for a nano-second.

Besides a clean shaved fanny, before getting to that bit I'd have explored all the girls other bits and be turned on by the woman and not the child - does that make any sense?.

Oh, I'm a bloke who keeps his nether regions trimmed and tidied at all times too.

A question... Why the hell do girls put themselves through the pain and expense of a saloon when a razor or Veet will do the trick in minutes?.

It's all down to the lack of maintanence for me! Not all *that* sore anyway ....

That was probably her yea! I had Catherine the time before and she was excellent. I was chatting away and hardly felt anything..
The other one was pouring reeeeally hot wax all over the skin after she had ripped the hair out. I wanted to get up and leave half way through. Very unpleasant

Righto. Caught a comment on the Brazilian thread but I didn't want to hijack it and get right off topic but it's an issue that really needs addressing. The comment I'm referring to is this which relates to a Brazilian wax:

it says to me that a girl appricates (sic) that a hairy minge can be gross looking, sweaty and smelly. Lastly it tastes clean and fresh to those of us who like to dive.

And apart from it being a comment like that says to me that a man talks more than the action he's alluding to, it's a belief that is instilling truths in women that have no factual basis and is also spurring them on to do things they don't want to do to their bodies and that's not okay.

Firstly, and really importantly, vaginas are meant to have hair. You think we just grow there for fun and, in the above case, derision? As someone who has waxed a lot of female and male pubic hair in her time, Brazilians are a recent trend and a fashion encouraged by magazines. Unfortunately, men are starting to believe the drivel they peddle in that by not waxing down there that you are somehow not a real woman, that it's better for you or that you don't care about yourself. For women who actually pay attention to what men believe is true, are then made to feel that what they have is inadequate or wrong.

There is nothing wrong with a bold, hairy bush. If a woman wants to tend to her garden or leave it run rampant, that's her choice, not yours. Sure no one's telling you to run off and get your naddies waxed, are they?

The majority of my clientele, except for those who have hair removed for the purposes of occupation (ie. gymnasts, cyclists, swimmers, dancers etc) only know about this procedure via the promotion of it in the media. When I ask them why they want one the answer is nearly always the same - either "My man likes it..." or "..they say sex is sooo much better..."

If the latter is true for you then I'd wager you're having rotten sex to begin with or, more likely, you're not having sex at all.

Waxing all of the hair off the vagina is actually a health risk. Pubic hair has several functions that actually serve to protect our wonderful bodies. So if you think a vagina is gross looking in its wild and woolly abandon then I should perhaps suggest that you go forth and bat for the other team. If not, get creative. A touch of imaginative topiary arranging can do wonders for the inquisitive.

And there's the imagined smell factor. Dare I say it, but education seems to be the key element missing for some, is that for women who practice regular hygiene smell, sweat and taste sensations are not an issue for those who have hair. If truth be known, it's the baldies that are likely to succumb to a few florid whiffs and a little tartness on the palate due to the fact that bacteria runs rampant on, shall we say, a featureless landscape.

So. Perhaps next time you dive, you might ensure that your partner has had a bath that month. No doubt this will ensure that further disparaging comments about our brilliant vaginas are set aside for something a little more enlightening.

Take things serious much?

This post just smacks of personal abuse and you taking an off hand comment about a topic personally.

Here here, Great say!!

Having said that I have had none/barely none for a few years as I just don't like the look of it

Then you'll need to read it again as I really think you've misunderstood it, Dragan, both in tone and content. Given the threads in the Ladies Lounge and the fact that such an issue is a very important one for women, I believe it's a pertinent point and one made respectfully. I see no abuse here, personal or otherwise. Compared to other threads I've read, quite frankly this one's downright angelic.

Just to be clear here so I'm not taken out of context again, I'm actually not angry at all. But I am making a point about something I feel is important and worth taking seriously - something I note which is done with regularity here.

Lovely thread title. Thought there was already a waxing thread?

Cathmandooo

You make very valid and good points but it would have been better if you posted that as an education to both men and women alike rather than hurtling it as personal abuse.
