I’m put off by the idea that it would be horribly painful and also kind of embarrassing.

Sounds very painful, based on some of the responses.

No,just getting my legs waxed was so painful!

nope and never ever intend to put myself through that lol

Yes and yes it hurt the first time but its not unbearable, I still get them and it doesn’t really hurt at all – I find getting my legs waxed is more painful

Yes and yes, once is more than enough for me.

I’ve had one and yes, it was agony. It hurt so much I didn’t bother with a second one. Even though my friends said they get less painful each time, I didn’t want to test that theory

Not something I’d ever want to try.

ni i don’t think so lol. i am not a fan of pain lol.

mom153507 – I laughed and laughed at that episode of Mrs Browns Boys – hilarious! 🙂

No I think it would be one of the most excruciating painful experiences!
I have always been intrigued but the thought of someone else doing it terrifies me & I know there is no way possible I could do it myself.
I seen that episode of Mrs Browns Boys haha & it terrified me more!
But good for you if you are brave enough & tolerant enough to handle it.
After childbirth I thought I could handle anything!

Yes, and it is more painful in the more sensitive vaginal type area. Some people use numbing cream before hand, but it is quite expensive. You do get used to the pain somewhat, but I prefer permanent hair reduction

I have had them a couple times and they are very painful. Personally I didn’t think the results were much better than shaving, so not worth the pain to me.

No. I’m too much of a pussy. 😉

The idea somewhat terrifies me!

Never! and I am not likely to ever try it! I think it involve a degree of discomfort.

Very painful the first time, take Panadol half hour beforehand, but the second time was much better (as the hairs weren’t as long).
