Is Brazilian Waxing Painful
By Tiffany Moore
Just the thought of Brazilian waxing makes you cringe in pain. Is waxing the bikini region as painful as it sounds? If you're tempted to go for a waxing session but a little apprehensive about it, we tell you honestly what to expect at a Brazilian wax session from start to finish.
What Happens at a Brazilian Bikini Wax Job
1. You'll need to remove all clothing including your underwear and asked to put on a thin paper thong. Lie down on a lined table, knees apart and up.
2. The therapist will trim down your pubic hair with scissors to about ¼ inch.

I suggest you take an anti-
And, relax. You feel more painful when you're tensed. Ensure that your bikini area is clean. Shower, or clean with baby wipes if you don't have time.
It's generally considered safe to get a Brazilian wax during pregnancy. But if your skin is more sensitive, try using a soothing lotion before and after waxing sessions to reduce any additional redness or swelling.
Also make sure you get waxed professionally at a reputable and clean salon or spa.
