Oh my goodness, I gave myself a coughing fit from laughing so hard while reading this thread.
I've had it done several times, not because of a significant other's preference, but because I personally dislike how body hair feels on myself. My experiences weren't bad, but let's just say we quickly discovered that I'm *very* flinchy. Ouch! I can't even imagine how women can bear to do it themselves at home... Next time I'm going to have a couple glasses of wine first, and have someone drive me.
FWIW, if you ever dare again: I found that traditional waxing made me feel quite sore afterwards. When I tried sugaring, it hurt more *during* the procedure, but I felt fine 30 minutes afterwards (not sore at all - actually I had it done shortly before a trip to Las Vegas where I was walking up and down the strip for hours, which was probably not the smartest decision just in case I'd been sensitive/sore, but I didn't have any issues at all.) Sugaring supposedly grabs on to the actual hair more so than the skin, which is why you usually don't need the hair to be as long before a sugaring procedure, and I found that it didn't leave my skin so sensitive and inflamed as traditional waxing did.
I tweeze between appointments too, and honestly it's a *lot* easier - kind of like tweezing my eyebrows, after doing so frequently for years, the hair follicle is a lot looser and resists less the more often it's done.
There, that's my TMI for the day!
