1. my waxist uses one or two types of wax, depending on the hair growth level etc.
2. my redness/tenderness only last one or two days.
3. as soon as i get home from my wax, i whack on a healthy dose of essentials baby cream (without lanolin) and leave it on overnight and it takes the heat/inflamation right down. couple panadol helps too.
4. after care is the KEY to maintaining a healthy, smooth poonie.
5. ann's the best, she dips, wipes and discards EVERY time, i cannot stress enough how important that is to me! lordy!

hygiene is next to godliness girls!!

yeah they did put the cream and stuff on afterwards and then gave me soothing creme too. it just didnt quite help me haha.
oh best advice never get it done before, during or after ur period.. go mid cycle. it hurts less mid cycle.
its never hurt me afterwards.. just red raw. hah.
yeah working at the dentist has made me really careful on infection control. i wouldnt want to catch herpes or hepatitis from getting a poon wax

ok, DURING?! like, omigod ew!

haha, lucky me, i have the implanon stick in my arm and so i'm totally period free. all sex = all the time! woo!

i still get sensitive boobs/nipples, nothing else though, i like it.

that waz awesome to read, probably because it waz so informative and i understood everything perfectly.

here's my little koochie deal...

i am a shaver. and i shave everything and have since i waz.. 16/17 i think? now that i am in a relationship i shave on a regular basis... but a regular basis iz about a week... i find that the longer i leave it, the easier it iz to shave.. if i shave it once.. and then shave it again only a few days later.. i am fucked.. the blade just grips into the skin and cuts me right up. i use a venus divine blade.. and while i am currently unemplyed i either use my boy's shaving creme (when he's not at home!) or soap and sorbeline.. that seems to work well and take care of my skin at the same time. but fuck shaving feels like a hassle sometimes.. it really really does.

now for my waxing story.. i got a triple x done for the first time a few months ago at essential beauty. i have no idea why i went.. i know how horrible that place iz and i have heard so many horror stories.. but they seemed so professional.

a friend of mine had laser treatment on her bikini line... she said it hurt like she was being flicked over & over with a rubber band, was red for a couple of hours, and then it went away, and the hair grew back so much thinner & lighter. it usually takes 4 sessions or something i think, depending on how coarse and dark your hair is, and it's expensive but it's permanant.
i'm contemplating trying it, albeit, no money. sigh.

owies!
i don't know if i could stand that just to get rid of everything...
i mean, maybe, but i'd probably want a lot of pain meds before i went through with it!

haha thats was a golden post. i LOVE the term kitty rather than pussy, its SO much cuter! i will be borrowing that from now on.

[vickola]

i'm a huge fan of 'kitty' instead of pussy, plus, who wants to have 'pussy' written in their journal that many times when you're doing a post about waxing/shaving?!

kitty/poonie are my fav's.

"fifi" just sounds like you have a small dog in your pants... eww!

(which, lets face it, is kind of difficult to do when you're lying on a table spread-eagled with hot wax all over your poonie!)

and poonie i am sure sounds nothing like a small rather savage tea cup kind of dog gnawing on my left testicle?

that said vichiness my dear i am very sorry for the delay in communication i shall call you soon !

p.s. by me i really mean you call me soon, you know this.
