Waxing removes more hair.. the silk epil removes hair one by one and is actually more painful..it's a lot like tweezing!
Even rubbing ice directly onto u're skin makes the waxing experience slightly better.
there should be any alternative of waxing, i feel like crying wenever i go 4 waxing, how abt using Braun Silk Aple' ?
Oh tell me about it :( i think some people just feel it all the more like you and me. My bp always drop and i go all cold lol.
Re: Body Waxing
try applying a very think coat of wax. its a lot less painful.
Yeah 
ma skin is quite sensitive, i even can see it bleeding specially wen it comes to under arms.
yes but i found as Gina adviced to dust talcum powder on the area b4 waxing, this make it less painfull then b4, but even then its hard to bear 
Re: Body Waxing
There's nothing in the world that can make brazilians or bikini waxes less painful or comfortable and that's saying a lot since I don't really feel any pain with waxing anywhere else. I don't think it's possible to not feel that awful awful pain. But ofciurse putting ice later on reduces the burning sensation but it still hurts like crazy during the process!
Re: Body Waxing
can the baby teething gel be applied before waxing? on any part of body?
Re: Body Waxing
I think their main point was to not do the following when it comes to numbing products.
The FDA strongly advises consumers not to:
- make heavy application of topical anesthetic products over large areas of skin;
- use formulations that are stronger or more concentrated than necessary;
- apply these products to irritated or broken skin;
- wrap the treated skin with plastic wrap or other dressings; and
- apply heat from a heating pad to skin treated with these products.
I dont think otherwise that using numbing products will kill anyone.
Re: Body Waxing
How about not waxing? Love and procreation went along just fine for how many millenia without people torturing themselves. The male of any species has always been attracted to the female of their species: it's Nature. We all have hair: it's human.
Re: Body Waxing
hey guyz..iv been looking at this forum for a while and i have to say you get advice for anything and everything on here!
iv got a quick question..wt is the best brand of wax to use when u do it at home?iv tried a few waxing strips that u get but they dnt seem 2 work!i liv in the uk..so wer do u guyz suggest?
pleez help...xxx
best way to do it at home is to buy a wax heater (small one for students) and some warm wax that comes in a tub that you place directly in the heater. once it’s hot a speadable you will need to apply with a spatula and use cotton strips to wax. in the long run it will work out a lot cheaper than buying stuff from places like boots and you will actually get a decent wax with short hairs removed.
i bought this almost 2 years ago. it has more than you prob need but it’s great value for money as the heater alone is a good £20-£30.

do not fall for the roller ones, they are waste of time.
Re: Body Waxing
Wax strips are great and easier to use then wax. Nads strips are quit good and I'm sure they are available in UK.
how about the fact that personal hygiene is a religious requirement… i guess we’ll have to continue ‘torturing’ ourself :hinna:
Re: Body Waxing
Maham I see your location is Lahore. I have a terrible experience of getting my arms waxed in lahore on my sis wedding. It was so painful that I had to tell the lady to stop that torture instantly and do threading instead. Those ladies are very cruel and they do not know anything on how to do wax properly. Next time you go you make sure they do below:
1- dust telcum powder before applying the wax. I know they dont use telcum powder.
2- Tell the lady to use some thin wax strips like stiff cotton and not jeans or anything woolen which is very common there.
3- Wax should be enough hot that your skin can bear easily. Cold wax is EXTREMELY painful. Also your wax should be thinner then honey but viscous ofcourse.
4- Here in UAE, the wax pot is kept on an electric stove thruout the waxing period to keep its temp high.
5- When the wax is thin n hot, you do not require a thick layer on ur skin. only a thin layer serves the purpose well.
6- Avoid waxing during your speical days. Coz in those days your whole body is very sensitive.
7- I wont suggest taking medicines... not a good advise at all. Avoid unecessary use of medications.
8- Use above even if you do it at home and do not go to palor.
Hope above will help minimizing the pain.
Re: Body Waxing
Ginaaaaaaaaaaa or anyone else,
What happens when a certain area that you wax regularly start to become darker over time? :( What can you do to avoid that?
^That's due to friction.. as well as ingrown hair :( exfoliate before waxing.. and splash with cold water after.. keep the area mositurized..use a soothing aloe vera based cream..
Hmmmm, okay.
Thanks girly!
