Hi, I wonder if any ladies out there could help me out with this. I tried waxing once but found it really uncomfortable and have been shaving since then. But I'm finding the shaving is making my skin feel rough, and of course it seems to grow back more wiry and coarse each time.
Should I try waxing again? Is it always that painful or does it get easier after the first time? Cheers all, Lady Joy |

I am waxed all the time go to a salon have from pubes down done. I've been using a different type of waxing on the lady area called lycon. Which isn't as harsh as the wax and doesn't leave you looking like corned beef for a day. I don't shave at all now and I'm dark week before its due I have to keep legs covered lol. I go every 4 weeks  |

"How do you get into all the nooks and crannies though with shaving? Asking for a friend. "
I just use a standard 'venus' type razor, plenty of shave gel, and use my fingers to keep the skin taut while shaving the delicate bits!  |

"If you dont mind waiting while the hair grows in between waxes.... I would persist with it. I found it hurt less and less the more you get used to it. "
Ok thanks for that, I think I'll give it anther try .. |

I will ask about the lycon, sounds like it might be a good option for a scaredy cat like me! |

I shave, used to wax but having to wait for regrowth drove me nuts! I use aloe Vera gel after I shave, keeps shaving rash and rough skin at bay
p.s. I find I get a closer shave with the disposable razors (Wilkinson sword are best)  |

Not all waxing is the same.
I'm prone to eczema and many waxes irritate my skin. The one that doesn't is pale green in colour and has tea tree oil in it.
And not all waxers are the same. Get a recommendation of someone good who's also quick. |

We find you needito make sure its hot wax for intimate areas. Lots of therapists strip wax. Wax pulled off with cloth or paper strips this is really painful make sure its hotwax anyone trained by kim lawless is cool just google. Have tried it all in the past but decent wax routine has lessened hair regrowth and made it fine. Doesnt hurt now. Ps we use shaniwax smooth to the groove! |

"Epilators are good for the muff area, but painful to start with but the newer ones that you can use in water are great."
I use an epilator now shaving caused me problems, so went for the waxing options a couple of times, but got fed up with the expense. Now the epilator doesn't hurt at all
As for the NO NO i just bought one, I don't think i'd want to use it down below. |
