Bikini Waxing
"cybercat" wrote in message ... "CatNipped" wrote in message ... "Enfilade" wrote in message oups.com... "unhygenic/disgusting" by a weird North American society with a phobia of body hair). Unfortunately true, but I guess it's all relative. Our owners would opine that we don't have *enough* body hair! ; Ha! That's true. I have really fine blondish hair you can hardly see, so I can get away with shaving once every couple of weeks. HOWEVER when I was 12 I decided that the whole world could see my "moustache," which was a little peach fuzz in reality-- so I put Nair on my LIP. And had a burned-on moustache that everyone surely did notice. OUCH!!! I never would try Nair - regular hand lotions have been known to burn my skin. -- Hugs, CatNipped See all my masters at: http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped/ Inviato da X-Privat.Org - Registrazione gratuita http://www.x-privat.org/join.php |

Myself, I don't see why there is such a double standard: men are allowed to brandish their pit hair and their hairy backs and tiger-stripes down their beer-guts, but GOD FORBID a woman go out without shaven legs. Feh! I gave up on the shaving, Nair, etc. long ago. I don't have time and I'm a klutz. Razors and I don't get along too well either. And the last time I tried Aussie Nad's...let's just say it was a big pain in the tuchus to get it off Fritzie's paws. Why can the boys let it all hang out, but we dames have to prove we're ladies by cutting it all off?

PING: Catnipped [OT] Bikini Waxing
http://www.stupidvideos.com/video/vi...ni_waxing_fun/
CatNipped wrote: Does anyone do it themselves??? I usually just shave, but my daughter said waxing is *much* better (never any razor burn or bumps, no stubble, etc.), so I figured I'd give it a try. Not having 100% visual access to the site I wanted waxed, I thought to enlist DH's help (OK, in retrospect, it was not a good idea to ask someone whom you've ever argued with to do this particular job for you). I'd bought the wax that's not supposed to need microwaving beforehand (I didn't want any nasty burns on that part of my body) - it's supposed to work with just you rubbing the outer part of the paper strip to warm the wax. First, never try to balance an open jar of wax on a bed when there are cats in the room who are 18 pounds and might jump on the bed, and *NEVER* open a jar of coconut-smelling wax in front of Sammy (don't ask me how I'm going to get the wax off of Sammy's face!). Second, when a product comes with a jar of Benzocaine for post application pain deadening, it might be a good idea to go with another method of hair removal. Ben finally got the wax applied in a smooth, transparent layer, put the strip of paper over it, smoothed/warmed the wax, and, firmly holding my skin taut (OK, after a certain age skin has to be *held* taut, it doesn't do that on its own), quickly yanked the strip off my skin. That is, he yanked my skin, along with the strip, off of my bikini area (why do they call it a bikini area when that area hasn't seen a bikini in 30 years???). Oh, look, there's only a few measly hairs on the strip, most of them are still on the bikini area. So Ben puts the strip back on my bikini area (um, sweetie, don't the instructions say that you're not supposed to go over the same area twice?), and gives it another yank. After he peels me off the ceiling, he looks and, lo and behold, there are still hairs on my bikini area. Before I can yell *STOP* he has put the strip back on my bikini area for a third try. This time when he yanks it off I have his head firmly between my hands so he can't go looking for more errant hairs. I hobbled into the bathroom, looking like a cowboy who has ridden his horse for too long, to look at the damage. I am *BLEEDING* around the roots of the hairs that have *still* not come out. My skin is beet red, and looks more horrible than it *ever* has after shaving. Has anyone ever had *success* using a wax on your "bikini area", and, if so, what brand/method do you use (OK, I am willing to try it again - nobody ever accused me of being the sharpest tool in the shed). |

Catnipped [OT] Bikini Waxing
LOL! Isn't it funny how the one guy seemed to react the worst to the pain?
Good thing they're not required to have babies?
