Hi, everyone.

I signed up for a charity waxing event recently, $25.00 with all money going to children's charities. I will be getting waxed at the end of January, so I have plenty of time to prepare/panic.

I have had other waxing done: eyebrows, legs, basic bikini, and get my underarms done regularly- but this will be an entirely new experience!

I asked a couple of female friends for advice, but couldn't get a straight answer out of either of them.

Any and all advice/information I can get will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Thanks, sourpuss!

It was informative, though I am a little scared after reading that home-waxing-gone-wrong story! I guess taking ibuprophen before hand does make sense, since it is an anti inflammatory as well as pain killer.

One of the things I was told, is that the hair should be no longer than 1/2 an inch when I go to get it done. This being said, what is the best/easiest/safest way to trim the hair? I don't trust myself with scissors at the best of times, never mind south of the border...

Teehehehe... I find it really amusing that waxing down there is for a children's charity??

Get a "friend" to trim it for ya.

Google "charity waxing", it happens more often than you would imagine.

Better than shaving my head...
