waxamacallit

i'm curious, but i'm shy of asking. *concentrates*

has anybody here had a bikini wax before? let me add, bikini wax, and then some?

*whew*

as a woman, i BELIEVE that at one point in my entire lifetime, i'm gonna need one. just like the first time i had my period... the first shopping for sanitary pads... the first stain you had while in a public place... the first visit to the OB... the first consultation for an appropriate birth control method... the first time you got naked and you are not alone. =P

i'm not saying that all women should experience those, but i am willing to bet my 1-lb bag of M&Ms that at least half of the female population in their prime has experienced most of them in one way or another.

i'm used to having my mama with me during those awkward firsts (of course, except when i got naked "un-alone"), and so i felt kinda "on-your-own" thinking about the waxing thing. i know it would hurt like hell. i had my legs waxed one time, and the first strip off my skin gave me the most painful aesthetically-concerned experience i ever had. my mouth jerked open, without any sound, and a low, emotional, slow "aaaaahhhhhaaaaawwwww" came out a few seconds later. when it was time to strip off the second strip, my mind was ready to cry.

and that was waxing a leg. the skin on the bikini area is softer and less taut, so it would be less resistant. meaning, more painful. i have so many questions in mind: can you wear an underwear after a bikini wax? will the one doing the waxing see your privates? is it advisable to do it yourself? is there a specific kind of wax for legs, bikini area, etc.? what if it gets irritated, do you go see a doctor or go back to the wax salon? how far "down there" are being waxed? is it just like in haircuts, are there "styles", or would they just wax everything off? what are the post-waxing care instructions?

i think i could look up info on the internet about these things, but i would trust experience first before text. and it feels as awkward to ask as to have the job done, especially since i think my questions were... weird.

i'm not planning on making it a habit or something, but i want to try it first as a "want", before it becomes something to do as a "need". at 26, am i that vain to be bothered by these things? =p
