Pain

Just saw this at Appelogen. Quite a coincidence as just this morning I went through this torture (all for a good cause I'm sure).

Let's me describe to you the ritual of getting a bikini wax. Obviously, all you girls already know how this works, so this is for the guys.

First some vocabulary that is used where I go:
- Bikini wax: getting rid of the sides; everything that sticks out of your bikini
- Brazilian wax: removal of almost everything, front to back except for a thin strip of hair on the pubis
- Hollywood wax: removal of everything

Me personally, I always get a brazilian done ever since I went to Rio. I do not feel comfortable with a Hollywood as I am no longer 12.

When you come into the treatment room, the lady doing the torturing asks you to get undressed from the waist down and put on these paper knickers. She then leaves the room while you are doing this to give you some privacy. The fact that she will be very close to your vagina for the next 30 minutes apparently doesn't matter; English girls still want their privacy when undressing.
While you try to get as comfortable as possible on the table that is set up for you, the lady comes back in and mixes the wax a bit.

As for the wax, there are different types, but the ones that I have experienced are either warm or hot wax. Warm wax is put on you and left for a few seconds to dry. When dry, they rip the wax itself off, taking the hairs with it that are stuck in the dry wax. The hot wax is also applied to the skin, but then immediately ripped off with the help of strips. I don't have any preference. The experience of the lady doing it is usually the reason why it's real torture or bearable (trust me, it is never enjoyable).

First the wax goes on the sides, which is honestly not that big of a deal when ripping it off. If you feel that this is already as far as your pain threshold goes, stick with the normal bikini wax. After that, the lady works her way down and I guess it depends on how hairy you are as to where she stops. To be able to do this, she asks you to put your legs in different positions, from bending it to the side to bringing your knees up to your face. She also asks you for help in "spreading" your skin.

The last step is to decide on how wide you want your landing strip to be and from where you want it to start and finish. This is also quite painful, but after that, you are done, except for some soothing creme.

Again, the lady will leave the room so you have privacy to get dressed (still don't get this as she has just been looking up your bum). All that's left then is to pay and make another appointment for this blissful treatment...

Levendige beschrijving. Ik ben blij dat ik geen vrouw ben.

The cry of Si when she was reading this:
"oh my wax, i never though i would miss it"
We're landing in Sao Paulo on Friday noon and have a wait of 4h for the flight to Florianopolis. Shower and jump into a beauty saloon.

Seems it's quite a challenge to find those experiences Brazilian wax ladies in Belgium?
I guess in NYC and London habits might be different, but my memories of Belgium tends to be 'hairy', Ladyshave just doesn't do the trick. And the argument of beachlife doesn't count, the best wax artwork can be found in Sampa and they have no beaches there ;)
