Where else could I get advice on this?

I recall a bikini wax discussion a few weeks back in which some of you discussed going Brazillian. Since most of my discomfort issues are friction issues, and since most of the friction seems to be from ... well, I'll just say it: hair, I am considering going Brazillian/bikini plus for an upcoming long ride. Right now I sugar my own bikini line, and have been pleased with the friction reduction that affords. But I want to go pro (or at least semi-pro) if I'm going to "go big" so to speak.

So, my question is, basically the timing as related to said big ride. Will that freshly exposed skin require a "toughening-up" period? Would it be better to do it 2 weeks before? I could go on, but you get the idea.

Thanks gals! This is the best ever place to get answers to these obscure, blush-inducing questions!!!!
