First times a bit sore. Take a painkiller before you go in and exhale everytime they tear off a strip. Youll be fine. Just watch out for ingrown hairs.

2 nurofen plus about a half hour before the event, exfoliate well the evening before. You'll be fine, it's a split second of pain for each strip but it's bareable, especially if you take the 2 painkillers beforehand!

Yea, a brazilian. Youll be ok. Its a little like when you tear off a plaster. Just a tip, wear comfy underwear to it, nothing scratchy or anything. Just coz you can be a little tender afterwards.

Make sure that your skin is well exfoliated and really well mositurised coming up to your waxing, but don't mositurise the day you are waxing.
Exfoliating also helps to reduce in-growing hairs after.
Go for it girlie, you'll never go back.

btw do have to let your hairs grow a good bit before it?
