BareEase & Cream: Finally a Pain-Free Bikini Wax

StyleList:

They may say that death and taxes are the only guarantees in life, but women know the electric jolts of pain during a bikini wax fare a close third.

So when a dainty little box crossed my desk cheerfully promising an "ouchless 'down there' hair removal" experience while waxing, my eyebrow raised in both intrigue and doubt.

I feel I must go on the record and say that I prefer a neatly trimmed English Garden to a Tropical Rainforest.

That's just me.

The conversation around hedge trimmers, machetes or weed whackers I leave to those with greater experience - suffice it to say I admire you all.

Thanks, and have a pleasant day! :)

I would fork over the $25 for the lidocaine in a second. I stopped getting the Brazilians because they got progressively more painful. I don't know why they bothered me more and more as time went on. How do I buy that kit?

People with saggy asses shouldn't wear bikinis.

I never thought that waxing hurt much, if at all.

Ditto, although I use persian cold wax and have never tried hot waxes.

If this is true, only world peace and a cure for fatal diseases would remain as the major problems for future generations to solve.

This has been standard for almost 2 decades, nothing new here. A jar of script strength lidocaine lasts for 6 months.

In fact no one waxes or shaves anymore, haven't for years.

Laser ended that long ago.

A jar of what? Sorry, I'm really behind the times it seems.

for those who have lots of money to waste and lots of time to spend on unnecessary procedures. Since when is it not okay to be a human adult female in all of our glory. I've never seen the guys having the hair yanked out of their tender areas. Most of us who are older managed bikinis and active "social" lives with much less anxiety and insecurity about our bodies. A little grooming goes a long way without the pain and expense...not to mention self confidence and not succombing to media marketing pressure.

If you prefer being a hairy beast, why even click on a waxing article?

Sadly, it's apparent you wished to attempt (fail) to patronize the sleek set with your boring opinions.

Women who are sleek have different likes, they are not lesser people. How sad you sound, a tad bitter even.

I lasered years ago and don't own a razor, enjoy being an ape.

I wonder if brazillian wax would do any better than Turtle Wax on my '67 Mustang? I prefer a deep, long lasting shine that repels water and dust.

depends how much carnoba is in each wax, and how much you buff the waxed area.

buffing IS key
