Waxing...

[disneyfan67]

I have to give you ladies some credit. Here I am worried about the pain level of removing some unwanted back hair and you're talking about removing hair from very sensitive, private areas. There's just no way that those procedures can be pain free and you're a stronger person than I am, for volunteering to do that.

I had my hip replaced three weeks ago this past Monday and before I left the hospital the Physical Therapist removed the huge, oversized bandage which was put on my incision after surgery. After 4 days of being on, that bandage was damn near permanent and when he pulled it off, he wasn't gentle. I saw stars, literally! Talk about pain and removing unwanted hair! I still have the bruises and marks from him doing that.

I'm going to look around and try and find a spa of some kind in my area that has men as clients and I'll see what they have to offer. I think I'll do it at least two weeks before my trip in July so there shouldn't be any tenderness while I'm roasting in the Florida sun.

I love waxing I just hate paying for it! I love the Brazilian and I didn't think it hurt too bad the first time and now it's not bad at all.

Kind of off topic

Y'all should try a depilitory cream...wipe one, wait, and wash off. (Especially nice for the squeamish or for certain body parts )

It works great! I am also trained in waxing from Cosmetology school.I mostly do brows and upper lips. Now, men's body hair is thicker and stronger and MUCH tougher to wax painlessly than women's (peach fuzz).

Sugaring is just as painful as waxing but you may not get as many ingrown hairs or little bumps afterwards.

P.S."One PLUCKS a chicken and TWEEZES our brows" (a quote that has stuck with me from my hoity-toity teacher. She sounded like Mary Poppins)
