Inspired by Brazilian waxes - did you ever wax anything yourself?

I have waxed and I just wanted to put a few quick tips in.
When waxing your legs make sure your hair is long enough about a 1/4 inch. Plus make sure you are ripping in the right direction. If your hair naturally grows pointing down your leg then rip up. Going the wrong way will only remove skin no hair.
Ok and for those that have never gone in and had it done professionally and want to try at home after ripping press area with your hand or finger for about 30 seconds this will help with pain! Hope this helps.

LOL, that's pretty funny. I never thought of that.

THis stuff does not work....it only works on the infomercials!

Is there some trick to what consistency the wax should be before you start yanking? I bought the Nair microwave stuff and all I got was a gooey mess after I pulled the sheet. Not much hair off and alot of goo to clean up.

I tried touching up my bikini area at home once and it DID NOT work. The wax was too sticky and didn't want to come off, plus it left patches of hair.
