Hell if I know.

A full wax like that has lots of drawbacks. Ingrown hairs, itches like hell, hurts like hell.

Put on a guard and shave it down to 1/4 inch and you can get quick, cheap, and miss all those drawbacks.

As long as you put on the stuff they give you everyday after you shower, you should be good with the ingrown hairs. And the growing back is not NEARLY as bad as if you shaved--talk about ingrown hairs. Plus, it's nice being completely smooth--I have very sensitive skin, and that's not only applied to my face/legs.

Well a complete shave is pretty bad, but a close trim isn't at all.

In fact, the problems from shaving mostly come from irritation. Try using a good aloe vera heavy shave lotion and don't go over the spot too many times.

Clippers with a guard for the larger areas, and a personal trimmer of the same length is a deadly efficient combo. It is such a smooth cut that if you are skilled you don't even need a lotion and get no irritation.

edit: Oh and the expense of a wax is just ridiculous in my opinion, compared to a nice trim. But I'm not one to tell anybody how to spend their money. :)

That sounds like a good idea...how much are those? I'm super broke, but I bet it wouldn't be more than what I'd be spending on waxes every few months.

Pay for pics. you can setup some website like that boobjob lady did.

**anxiously awaits for news of said website** :laugh:

Oh really?

I think Casiotech once said he got waxed down there so his Diesels would feel even better when he went commando.

That sensual premium denim feeling.

wax on the balls must hurt like crazy.

btw, waxing also has the benefit that the hair coming out will not be pricky. if you just cut it down to size it won't be comfortable to touch.

But the Diesels have a soothing effect after. Not only are they smooth on your skin, it gives you a feeling of being fucking awesome, to make up for the wax burn.

I think you know by now this is the wrong place for this kind of question considering there's about 10 women on this forum total.

You just like seeing all these nerds get themselves in a tizzy, since they've seen your video and know what you look like, so they can visualize the process.

I like the soft wax, and my lady always wears gloves and doesn't double dip. I have heard good things about a "sugar wax" which is supposed to be gentler, but just as effective.

But a total wax takes it up to 11.

Just sayin'.

No doubt about it.

Waxing always hurts the most the first time. Then as its maintained, it hurts less and less.

I personally like a smooth labia area, but I still prefer a trimmed tuft of bush above.

absolutely the wrong place to ask.
i'm sure there are sites out on the internets that can explain this in much more detail.

There's a slight reminiscence of luvly going on, from other threads she's posted in.

I just didn't realize an OT thread could make it to this point, but now that it has, I can't wait to see where it goes.

It was just this post that gave me a flashback: :)

The guy I'm sort of talking to is one of those really nice guys--the reason I keep talking to him is because when I first met him, I asked him for a light or something, and then two days later recognized him and said hi...and he didn't remember me! That's, unfortunately, a first for me. I like him because he doesn't treat me like a possible sex object, but rather for my personality. It's a nice change ^^

It was bad enough when I heard about this in person. (My sister screamed her name and said "enough!") Now I have to see it here? Hell, I clicked on it because I thought it was a parody thread and then saw who posted it. o_O

...I may need to find a new forum to hang out on.

P.S. This should be posted in P&R, it would keep them sidetracked for a while.
