Is there absolutely any way, any method to make it less painful :(…like seriously its a nightmare. And no with time it hasnt really become any less painful…ok ya lil bit but doesnt count after all these years of waxing lol. Seriously, there gotta be something to make it less painful. Don’t suggest other methods of hair removals…:).

Take pain killers before you get it done or use numbing cream.

Re: Body Waxing

I find it very painful too....I hate waxing:(

btw I think using a talcum powder before waxing helps a little.

I've never used numbing cream but do take a couple of paracetamol around half an hour before I wax.

U can use Emla cream it's a numbing cream apply it half an hour before waxing..they wipe it off before waxing so there's no chance of "the hair not coming out properly" :)

If threading is painful as well.. use baby teething gel (works really well!) the teething gel is for the eyebrows only.

***Good Idea!!!

Hey Gina:

Recently FDA issued a statement alerting public of dangers of Numbing products…apparently they can be very fatal since two women died coz of them during a laser procedure sometime back…my question is do you know a safe one?? I am scared to try these without a positive feedback and I’ve never used any before…

Don´t wax just before you periods and during.

A topical cream/gel isn't really likely to take u're life.. I don't suggest people use it everytime all the time..but once a while it's alright. Scrub u're skin the night before (make sure u remove all the dead cells) and make sure u're skin's dry before u wax.. dust talcum powder all over. This helps the wax/sugaring attach itself to the hair follicle instead of u're skin.

Apply a calming/soothing lotion with aloe vera, green tea, chamomile after u're done :)

Re: Body Waxing

Only take 1/2 a pain killer 15mins b4 waxing

Don't wax during you periods

If waxing yourself look away b4 you pull the wax strip

Hold the skin taugt

just wondering is it beacause it hurts even more during those few days, or some other reason.?

skausur · February 24, 2009, 3:11pm

Re: Body Waxing

^hurts even more in fact dont wax one week b4 your period or during

Fashionista007 · February 24, 2009, 3:26pm

Re: Body Waxing

Hurts more 1 week before and even during having periods. So a bit of ´wax´planning is certainly not wrong.
