How can I wax my bikini area without it hurting?
But there are ways to make the experience tolerable instead of dreadful. First, apply a numbing cream to the bikini area 30 minutes before you’re about to wax. You can also take an over-the-counter pain reliever like Advil or Aspirin to minimize the pain. Also, ensure that the wax is cool before application.
How bad do bikini waxes hurt?
Anything too harsh will irritate the skin, causing more redness and irritation after the wax. Pain is the number one (and totally legit) concern most first time bikini-waxers have. And though it’s unlikely to be as bad as you might imagine, the fact is, it can hurt or cause discomfort to varying degrees.
What part of a Brazilian wax hurts the most?
In general, women find the butt to be the least sensitive part of the wax. The lower abdomen is the most sensitive (mons pubis), and the area right around the vagina is between the two. If you’re in a lot of pain, tell the esthetician and they will do what they can to make you more comfortable. Breathe!

Do people cry during a Brazilian wax?
“It’s not that bad,” “You’ll be fine,” and “It’s quick,” are all lies — it is that bad, you might cry, and it actually takes about 10 minutes. The salon I went to used the self-drying wax — the esthetician applies it, it becomes tacky, and then she rips it off.
