Help me out. Thinking about a Brazilian wax. I have sensitive skin however, and I'm always bumpy after a wax even if I wear loose clothing. Help me out. Let me know what to do. Is Brazilian waxing worth it? Or should I stick with bikini wax? Or should I just shave? Help!

Use sudo creme, bepanthem or baby bum cream afterward and exfoliate a week after 1 a week. Shaving is just pointless I think doesn't last long. Brazilian will hurt if you haven't had it done before. However I get a Brazilian all the time and I NEVER shave and it is much better.

Brazilian hurts like a bishhhh but definitely worth it.

But if you stick to waxing it gets quicker everytime you go. Hairs are thinner and now the pain is fine because I am only in there for say 10 mins

I also have sensitive skin. So make sure wherever you goes uses A sensitive skin wax to prevent bumps (even regards to your eyebrows )

I've never done full Brazilian, but I do wax my bikini line. I also have sensitive skin, although it is used to waxing. I looked up remedies online for the aftermath irritation. This was an excellent, effective method:

Immediately afterwards, apply Witch Hazel (in the form of a doused cotton ball) to the affected area, let it air dry for a couple minutes. Then, apply aloe vera gel (the blue kind with the menthol stuff works/feels best, but I'm sure the normal green one will do) to the affected area. Let that air dry as well (go without bottoms for about 20 minutes).

It says that one application should be enough, but I usually do two rounds of it if I have time. The bumps and redness fade quickly, 1-2 days max, and you can take aspirin to help with the inflammation. And wear loose undies (like boy shorts, and NO thongs) until the symptoms subside.

Hope this helps. Good luck &all. :)
