So the experiment on shaving vs waxing continues.
The ladies at the shop were correct in one way, the hair does grow back easier, less, softer and just better all around. I swear it isn’t even curly like normal pubic hair anymore! It’s like a short trimmed beard.. only much softer! I almost like it. And if I thought it would stay this way, I might consider keeping it.
But no. Instead I went to the beauty store and bought a jar of (microwavable in the jar) wax. I’ve got tons of left over Popsicle sticks for “applicators” and lots of left over sheets from my old face/leg waxing kit. (Sex God & I tried to use the old kit but the wax had hardened… too old.) I’d been plucking out the very few hairs that had grown back in my upper bikini area, because it doesn’t hurt & leaves me with no waxy buildup.
Yet, bend as I’d like, I just don’t have the dexterity or mirror propping skills to “get” to the lower areas! So, last night when Sex God came over, I told him he was going to wax me.
Now most men might be ok with shaving you, but waxing you… oh no! And my Sex God was very reluctant. But the usual, “I don’t want to hurt you!” excuse did not deter me. I knew it was just that he wasn’t sure how to do it. This was a man who figures out the best way to do things at his job ALL the time. (A skill that’s almost as much of a turn on as his looks to me.) I had all confidence he’d figure THIS out. And the fun part was us learning together. lol.
I’d read to do this right we needed to clean all the oils from the area.. (rubbing alcohol probably NOT the best… will do quick shower next time, lol)
Then we should powder the area so the wax sticks to the hair rather than the skin. (note.. too much powder and nothing sticks to anything!)
As much as I can handle heat and hot wax… if the wax is TOO hot… again, nothing is going to stick to it! (we solved that by leaving the strip on until it cooled to the correct temp.)
Twirl the Popsicle stick, you Doofus, when you pull it out of the hot wax so we’re not waiting for the long hanging end to “drip off”… its wax, it isn’t going to do that!
With every application and hair ripping, I giggled as my Sex God would say, “Ok… I think I got this.” Or if very few hairs ripped and I’d open my mouth to make a suggestion…. it was always, “shhhhhh, I got this, I think I’ve figured this out.”
By the time he’d got to my ass he was using much larger strips and had decided “pulling in the opposite direction of the hair growth” no longer applied and after slavering the was all over the area, plastering a large sheet of ripping paper, pressing it all in to get all the hairs.. he does one big pull.
It was the only one that REALLY hurt.. and since the original waxing at the shop had hurt a lot, I’m assuming he did it correctly! lol. He did get a lot of hair!
Bottom line.. and I don’t know if this applies to doing it at home (probably half assed! [see the pun there!] ) or if it applies more to the fact it was a second waxing.
But it didn’t hurt nearly as much as the first one in the shop, but probably wasn’t as “perfect” a job as they would have done. And yet it was cheaper than the shop, since the jar of wax costs $10 and will most likely last me YEARS! Plus, that wax didn’t leave a sticky residue on me at all. A quick shower afterward with good old Dove soap and NO toilet paper sticking to me problems. THAT was very nice.
I may pluck here and there any errant hairs that he missed and let him have another go at me when it all starts to grow back in. This way, I can save the professional waxing for special occasions, like Coachella or another Vegas trip 😉 hee hee.
In the mean time… Sex God is proud of his new skill. “Maybe I can do THIS on the side for extra money!”
I laugh… like a woman is going to let a strange man wax her privates! And if a man is going to go down that road, I’m sure he’d rather have a cute little woman doing it than my sexy Sex God!
