what about bikini waxing?

Funny article re: Brazilian

Angela, more power to you, honey. I'm a non-Brazilian weenie scaredy-cat myself. I confess that the whole process is something I dread almost as much as going to the gynecologist, but it's more acceptable than having painful red shaving bumps or looking down at my bathing suit to see escaping renegades (if you get my drift).;-) (Does that fall into the category of Information You Didn't Ask For??)

Enjoy the very funny magazine article about a woman getting her first Brazilian waxing, at this link:

Notice at the end of the article there's a link to another article called "Wax On" about non-Brazilian bikini waxing -- funny, but not AS funny.

The things we (and apparently Trevor? ;-)) put ourselves through...

Oh I saw a blurb in Newsweek about 2 or 3 months ago that reported that more men were getting 'bikini' waxes. This had been happening in California for a while and the trend is spreading. Now, these men are having their testicles waxed! One aesthetician (sp?) commented that she had to peel some of the guys off the ceiling when she was done!

RE: Trevor!!

OK, I was going to just read this thread, but I would like to suggest another alternative. What I do is use beard trimmers. There is no stubble this way, and it looks a lot neater and is totally painless. On the inner thighs I shave or wax, but on the actual genitalia, I just set the beard trimmers really close on the labia and with the first "guard" on for the main area. Pubic hair has always grossed me out and this way just feels neat and groomed to me.

I also use the beard trimmer on my arms and on that icky peach-fuzzy facial hair that grows on some middle-aged women. I am unfortunately one of them.

For eyebrows, mustache and chin hairs I pluck religiously. Every day, no exceptions, with a magnifying mirror.

I just wanted to offer the beard trimmer alternative. It is also good for men's backs, chests, arms, etc. if they hate the hair, which they often do.
