Question for the girls

[JayFarrar]

This questions pops up in an e-mail today and I don't know how to answer it.

Let's say if one wanted to wax their junk...are there kits for such a thing or would one need to seek professional er...assistance?

Seems to me like a job for professional but thoughts...

My god. Never self-apply hot wax to genital areas.

Ever.




Or so I've heard.

 

[sportschick]

There are bikini waxing kits. It hurts regardless. Depends on whether you prefer to inflict the pain yourself or have someone else do it.

 

[imjustagirl2]

OK, let me rephrase.

Pay the money to let someone trained do it. That way you don't have to answer any questions.

And don't use nair. It can cause some serious pain from what I hear.

 

[HC]

I'm with IJAG. You do not want to apply the wax, the strip, etc. and then debate how or when to pull.

 

[imjustagirl2]

Nair does now have some specialized products, for face and underarms and bikini areas. I've never tried them, but they do exist.

 

[HC]

If you must have hair removed, there is only one way to go. Threading.

 

[sportschick]

The bikini one isn't bad, but if you're going for a Brazilian or a porn star look, I'd recommend a non-chemical method.

Do I even want to know what "Threading" means?
I suspect that I don't, but I'll ask anyway...

Threading is a means of hair removal that is less painful than tweezing or waxing. They use a twisted thread to grab the unwanted hairs. It grabs more than once like waxing but doesn't grab (and irritate) the skin. It is quick and you recover much faster than other methods.

Imagine something like two pieces of floss being twisted around the unwanted hairs and then pulled. OUCH! But it's supposed to be better than waxing, which can be damaging to skin.

Personally, I prefer waxing. If it's the right kind of wax, it won't damage your skin. I love the Gigi products, but I'm sure it's different for everyone.

To each her own. I waxed for years but not that I've discovered threading, I would never go back.

Get someone who knows what they're doing. You don't want to take any chances with your fella. Waxing, chemical burning, razors, floss, whatever ... no good can come from a guy trying to do that.

 

[Diabeetus]

Ooops...Shouldn't have wandered here. I was thinking you might've been talking about boys, but...

Now I'm curious. I'll have to try it at least once.

 

[Sxysprtswrtr]

My friend learned one lesson, so she says - Never wax the day before you get married.

Thought I'd share since I'm sure that's applicable to men and women.

Personally, waxing is a b!$%)h! I'd rather spend 2 days being boots' neighbor than waxing.

 

[dooley_womack1]

Um, sad to say, so would I.

But to make it clear: It wouldn't matter if the front door was the back door was the good door, boots would not be coming in no matter how hard he knocked.

This is what I sent in response to the earlier e-mail ...

I am advised by reasonable sources at www.gettingthepornstarlook.com several things...
1) They do make home kits
2) They also make Nair products for down there
3) It all depends on the look you are going for down there
4) Best tip is to go with a pro, at least for the first time
5) They also have something called "threading" A thread is looped and hairs are pulled out, but without irritation to the skin. Popular in Canada.

How does one "turn pro" at this? Is there a farm system involved? Is it like AA baseball and you have to work your way up?
