I don't get red bumps (if they use the right kind of wax for your skin it shouldn't) but do get red for a day or so. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-for-those-that-have-gotten-waxed#post-1754871 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 21:19:10 +0000 MoonMoon 1754871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with PP that going 2 days before is fine-actually, a few days is fine, especially if you have sensitive or fair skin. The red bumps subside in a day or two. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-for-those-that-have-gotten-waxed#post-1754857 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 21:04:24 +0000 MamaJ 1754857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just had my first 2 days ago. It just now starting to look less red. Yesterday it looked really red and irritated still. So i would say 2-3 days before. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-for-those-that-have-gotten-waxed#post-1754810 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 20:27:00 +0000 Mrs.Panda 1754810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I got mine done the one and only time I was hair free for about 2-3 weeks so feel free to do it the weekend before. It'll give you time to calm your skin. It wasn't too bad :wink: yes to ibuprofren, numbing gel if you need it and definitely exfoliate so your vag doesn't look like a pizza when it starts growing in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-for-those-that-have-gotten-waxed#post-1754798 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 20:17:12 +0000 hotchildinthecity 1754798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, go a few days before. I do a Brazilian every month. It's not so bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-for-those-that-have-gotten-waxed#post-1754790 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 20:11:12 +0000 blackbird 1754790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah go a few days before, take Advil before, and don't go during your cycle! Also, see if they want you to trim...it hurts more if it's longer </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-for-those-that-have-gotten-waxed#post-1754767 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 19:47:38 +0000 Foodnerd81 1754767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: I agree with all of this. Definitely don't do it the day before, you will probably still be tender. And yeah the first time is the worst, sorry. But it's so nice to not have to worry about shaving. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-for-those-that-have-gotten-waxed#post-1754765 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 19:45:38 +0000 babycanuck 1754765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: is right on the cycle part - the closer to your period the more it will hurt! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-for-those-that-have-gotten-waxed#post-1754762 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 19:45:06 +0000 Anagram 1754762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would go 2 days before. And if you've never had one before, follow all the tips about popping advil/Tylenol 1.5 hours before, don't do it right before your period, and maybe invest in one of those numbing cremes.</p> <p>The first time I did it, I was shocked at how painful it was. It was much less painful all the subsequent times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-for-those-that-have-gotten-waxed#post-1754755 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 19:43:05 +0000 babycanuck 1754755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have gone the day before but if this is your first go 2-3 days before so you give your lady bits some time to get rid of any redness if your skin is sensitive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/question-for-those-that-have-gotten-waxed#post-1754750 Sat, 12 Jul 2014 19:40:24 +0000 KT326 1754750@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our five year anniversary is next month and we have a vacation planned. I really want to try a Brazilian wax but I'm not sure when to do it. Would the day before be too soon? Would I be ok going the weekend before our trip? </p>
