Yesterday I got my first Brazilian bikini wax. Now I'd like to describe it to you. Don't just read the words, try to experience them so you can understand the pain I felt.
I went there thinking it would be the worst pain EVER, only to have everyone say "It's not that bad." Well they were wrong. It was just as bad as I'd imagined. She'd put the hot wax on, smooth the paper strip over it, the tell me to breathe in as she YANKED the hair off. Plus the lady was obsessed with getting every single little hair so she'd keep yanking from the same place that was already tender.
I'd been told I'd go numb after each inital rip but that didn't happen, it hurt immediately for at least 20 seconds. By the time I was able to handle the pain she was ready to rip off the next strip. During all of this I was trying to pretend I was somewhere else, or imagaine my power animal or just breathe through the pain (wish I knew Lamaz) but it wasn't working. All I could think of was OH MY GOD THIS FUCKING HURTS.
At least we were about 3/4 of the way done when she said, "Don't be alarmed, this is completely normal. You're bleeding a little." I'm really squeamish and couldn't even look. I was really tender the whole way home, and I'm still a little sore today. Though it looks great, I'm not sure I'd go back.
