ROFL! Happy birthday, Mr. IK!!

BTW, there is a great gel called Bikini Zone that will perhaps mollify the offended area. I get it at Target.

OUCHIE! You're a brave and very generous woman, Dana. Got aloe vera? Dab on some salicylic (asprin dissolved in water) later, when you can stand it.

Yeah, yeah, I know lotsa a women do it all the time, like ... but like trying to wax your own armpits --- which a friend tried last evening and gave up halfway in tears, which made her *toddlers* cry --- it's a seriously brave thing or requires special *strong* genes that I didn't come equipped with, I guess.

It also didn't hurt where I expected it to hurt, and hurt like burning crazy where I thought everything would be dandy. Who knew?!

I did it once at the behest of a boyfriend. He was a player but he did break my heart for, like, 3 years straight. It looked awful because my skin is so sensitive. After that, I stuck with the razor.

Ouch! I get my legs done and while Lucy is excellent at what she does it still sometimes hurts, don't think I'm brave enough to get a Brazilian x

Fun times. I got mine all lasered off. The results were much better for me. My hair always grew back so fast that waxing wasn't worth the money, effort and pain.

Ahhhhhh! I'm screaming in my head from sympathetic pain. No one is getting near my bits with any hair removal device. I'll stick with the razor as well.

Tweezing! *cringe*

I can't believe any of you use a razor! I'll admit to some Nair in bikini season along the edges, but the ONE time I tried shaving the growback was SO AWFUL. Never, never, never again.

And MaryK, you and me and the tidy triangle, girl!

IK, once men experience a Brazilian, they never want to go back!

I am not brave enough to attempt anything but using a razor. Tried the twezers before..oh, the pain was worst than anything for me, so hell no to that

Alicat - my husband also likes homemade apple pie. He doesn't get THAT every day, either.

Oh My God! You are making me laugh so hard I think I'm going to cry. I hate using a razor but am really sensitive to pretty much all procedures. I go for lower leg opening or boy short swim wear which is the ONLY reason I do this kind of stuff. I think I will start pretending to be a surfer so I can wear board shorts and just not have to deal with it!

ROFL - apple pie! I don't think I could ever love ANYONE enough for a Brazilian. Childbirth was bad enough! (OK, maybe I could for George Clooney)

Oh Soobee, childbirth was SO much worse than this. Just no comparison worse.

Ah yes, but at the end of childbirth you have a beautiful baby. At the end of a Brazilian, you have, well, smoothness? A baby lasts longer, lol!

Jeez, does getting a Brazilian really make me a nasty gal...?!

More toes curling here! Luckily my DH says hair removal is optional for me - I once explained "mowing the lawn" to him and he just looked befuddled and asked why I had to do that...
