I have personally never had a full Brazilian wax done, or any type of body waxing done, but from what I've heard from others it is very painful and sometimes there may be complications (like the horror story about how a women got her private area waxed and it actually tore part of the delicate skin down there) Which that would be the only thing I would really be worried about. But hey, if you have a good pain tolerance I don't think it would be that bad of an idea, maybe try it once, and if you don't like it, don't ever do it again. Simple as that.

My best friend said it didn't hurt that bad so I guess everyone just feels pain differently but I would do it if I didn't care about the awkwardness.

Is there any irritation afterwards besides redness for a few hours?

Yes, the new hair that will come out be a pain in the ass! they get stuck under the skin ore it turns into a red dot till it finally grew out.

You need to get some kind of gel or cream or just any topical medication that prevents ingrown hairs. The actual process isn't as painful once you get used to it. Don't do it right before or right after your period because your area down below is still very sensitive so you're more prone to bruising if it isn't done with a sensitive touch. Also, make sure you apply something to help with the irritation after. Just like shaving, right fitting clothes should be avoided after just to prevent ingrown hairs. It takes about three to six weeks for it to grow back fully (as in enough to actually wax again because the hair had to be of certain length to be waxed).

Also, it's not really that awkward. If it's a professional place (I go to a spa), they probably do it very often so there isn't much for them to feel awkward about.

Go to a professional is all that I can say! I have been going to Strip since the beginning of this year, they really know what they're doing. They usually offer the aftercare products and aftercare booklet as well. As for the pain, it's a lot more painful if you do it around a week before AND after your period. I have a pretty high pain tolerance but when I had it done 3 days after my period, my palms were sweating aha.

Your lady part is a lot more sensitive than your underarms, so make sure the place you're going to is reliable and has good reviews :)

Also it feels clean and nice down there once you get it done! It's only uncomfortable when it starts to grow - so itchy :')
