    Ditto.

    It's not like you have to do it blind-folded or anything!

    Waxing is sooooo painful. In the process, I always sweat, scream and curse (in Spanish ). I have done the brazilian with the landing strip a handful of times in my life. I actually got for Christmas (from hubby) a gift certificate for a very good waxing center. Needless to say, the certificate is still in my purse. Ouuch, ouch, ouchh!! Not to mention the fact that you have to show your
    private parts to a complete stranger!!

    For now, I'm sticking to scissors (very carefully) and works well for me

    Does cursing in Spanish help? I cursed in English and it didn't seem to make much difference.

    This thread is cracking me up!

    Shaving and riding = ingrown hairs
    Waxing and riding = no problems. With softer regrowth there's less painful maintenance

    I haven't had any issues with chaffing or needing to use chamois cream yet. However, my longest ride has only been 50 miles.

    I think every woman tries home waxing. ONCE.

    That's how the home waxing kit folks make their sales. I have to wonder if there are ever any repeat buyers.

    From one who tried it at home. ONCE.

    I shave around the edges and trim the main drag strip. That's it.

    OMG!!! Thanks for the belly laugh!
    Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.
