I got my first wax today at a salon.
As some adviced me, trimmed monday because my hairs were a bit too long (i just didn't trim the buttcrack because I'm not a contortionist and my trimmer is too big anyway)
I read here and there to exfoliate 1 or 2 days prior so I bought some product and I did it wednesday.
I did not took advil or else beforehands (mainly because I forgot about it and because after I got ready to leave the house but it was still a bit early, the waxer sent me a message to ask if I could come ealier so I left in a hurry)
So the pain was berable, I understood when some said it hurts more than a tattoo because tattoo is more on the long run and here is more by "hicups" but I definitivly thought it would hurt more than that.
At a moment I almost had a boner, it began, when the waxer was moving the package all around and just using some kind of sticky thing to get some small hairs that were still here after the wax, but I managed to breath it away.
Pics from before the trim, after the trim and from now after the wax.
