Hello :) I am getting my legs waxed for the first time in a few days. I've never had them done before, I have only had my brows done twice in my life. Do you girls have any experiences good or bad with waxing?

I never get my legs waxed. I get my eyebrows waxed and it doesn't hurt too bad.

I remember my first time years ago was very painful!! But after a few times you will get used to it...If you do get any redness after applying some ice or aloe gel will help to cool it down!!

Pop a couple of Tylenol or ibuprofen beforehand, it'll help with any pain or inflammation and drink plenty of water before and after.

I used to get my legs, arms and eyebrows waxed all the time! Now I only do my eyebrows and arms but over the summer I'm going back to doing my legs. I don't think it hurts but If you have a low pain tolerance I would suggest taking Advil before you go and also putting a teeny bit of anesthetic cream as it will help with the pain. Also, I would suggest going to a European Wax Center because I do and THEY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING!! The wax is specifically made to not hurt as much and take as much hair out as possible. Plus they do it all day every day and they do it quick and great. For my legs it doesn't take me longer than 25 min. Also the products they have really help me with ingrown hairs and such. Just go somewhere where you know the staff is knowledgable and had experience! I've never had a bad wax!

I love waxing I have gotten almost every part of my body waxed and it really just hurts the first time the worst part of getting your legs waxed is your shins I am not a fan of getting legs waxed because then you have to wait for the hair to grow back for like a month or so before you get it done again so if you want to wear a dress or something it'll be difficult I think the best place to wax is the bikini/Brazilian because its okay for it to take awhile to grow back because no one but you can see it unless you have an intimate relationship and the underarms hurt extremely bad because the skin is so lose the arms are a piece of cake :) but to help with it being your first time take a pain reliever like Advil or ibuprofen 30-45 mins before to help with any discomfort also to protect from ingrown hairs go to Walmart or something and get bikini zone it works great on any part of the body that has been waxed to get rid if and keep away ingrown hairs my friend gets his chest waxed and we put it on his chest and he never gets ingrown hairs

Also exfoliate the day before or a few ours before you go it helps ease the hair out when it's pulled.
