I got my wedding underwear at VS last weekend. They had blue panties that said "My Something Blue" and I had to buy the white ones that said "Sexy Little Bride"...sooo cute! They also had a lot of other cute ones and they were all 3/$25.

Thanks, Alyssa!

Quote: Originally Posted by Jenn Too funny! I actually got a brazillian the trip we got engaged on... NEVER AGAIN! Sam loved it, but it hurt way worse than a regular bikini wax, and I was really irritated. A regular bikini wax hurts, but not terribly. I agree with the idea of wearing sweatpants instead of jeans. Oh, and if you're going to do it for your BD, you should try to keep it up until the wedding - it hurts the worst the first time and then is a lot easier each month. The other thing I would recommend is to try to either trim the hair before you go so that its a little less than half an inch - alternatively, shave and wait until it grows to that length. If the hair is long it hurts worse and if its too short, it will be hard to wax. Thanks for telling me about the trimming part. I hope this isn't TMI (being that I started this thread, I guess I can't say that...lol!) but I do shave my bikini line once a week or so. So I'm guessing I shouldn't the week before?

Quote: Originally Posted by mauraw liz, i get bikini waxes pretty regularly, dont stress its not that bad. definitely wear underwear that have soft edges, and that you are not terribly worried about destroying in case you get any wax residue on them. although your technician should be good enough that they dont leave wax behind. i think a regular bikini wax costs $40 where i go, and a brazilian is $80. you actually should not take painkillers beforehand, my wax girl says it can make you bleed more because it thins your blood. afterwards, they generally put some talc powder over the area or some lotion. you will want to keep lotioning there for a few days to reduce friction with your underwear because the skin will be slightly irritated for a day or so. i am not going to tell you it wont hurt -- it definitely will. oh! also, it is totally normal if during it you start to sweat. dont ask me why it happens but my girl says its totally normal and most people do sweat during and just a bit afterwards. they will give you some little paper panties that really look more like a strip of fabric with an elastic band to hold it up. the first time i went i was so nervous. but now that my girl has seen my cooter a buncha times, we can talk about the weather or whatever. i would definitely recommend going to someone that is recommended to you by a friend. a good wax person is crucial to your experience being somewhat enjoyable...well you know what i mean, as enjoyable as a bikini wax CAN be! haha Thanks for all of the info, Maura! Quote: Originally Posted by mauraw oh and wear soft sweatpants, DO NOT wear jeans or you will be so sorry afterwards! BTW, i also get my underarms done and its really nowhere near as bad as the bikini line. if you are feeling brave, try it out. i can go like 3 weeks without having to shave my armpits haha I would love to get my armpits done, I never thought of that. I hate shaving every day!

Quote: Originally Posted by Leia78 I'm not going to lie Lizz, It hurts more than I can ever put into words. Well, for me at least. I always take 2 Advils an hour before to help reduce inflammation and reddness. I know this is bad, but a vicodin or 2 is helpful too...only if you have someone to drive you home. haha...I actually have vicodin from when I had a root canal last month, I may have to use that!

to the forum! I hope you can get a hotel and date that you want. Happy planning!!!

Ok, this is probably going to sound really naive because I am 28 years old, but... I have never had a bikini wax. I want to get one for the BD pics and for Jamaica. Can someone tell me how I prepare for this, any suggestions where to go, what to wear and how much it hurts (lol!)? (I searched for a thread about this but couldn't find one. If there already is one, someone please direct me!).

In 5+ years, he's never really seen me go all out, so I can't wait for his reaction!

If you say you are declaring, you go to a line where they look through your bags. If you declare nothing, you breeze right through without a single question! I know this was something I stressed about, so hopefully you guys can now relax! That's great news...thanks, Jenn!

I saw them there the other day, I love the new metallic ones!
