Thanks everyone my spouse is out of town because we're about to move after the baby is born so he is not at my disposal. I tried trimmimg with a bikini trimmer and i cant see and knicked myself twice those things are too sharp. Im scared to try a razor because of bumps i dont ever get bumps and i dont want any.  Will they trim it for me at the Wax spa?

Haha I'm going today I can't take it anymore,  it's like 8 minutes of pain then your good. I'm 25 Weeks so im a little nervous because I can't see when their going to pull, as usual. But I definitely recommend soft wax (it's blue) I don't know how women still use regular wax! Still painful,  but Better. Have your man trim first or you'll be crying real tears,  lol.

I've been getting brazilians for 2 years now and I don't find it anymore painful while I'm pregnant. I wad scared the first time I got waxed while being pregnant thinking it was going to be painful but for me it wasn't. But my lady uses soft and hard wax and I find the soft wax a lot less painful but I have a very high tolerance for pain. After being waxed for so long I'll never go back to shaving.

I've always wanted to get one done, but I've been too chicken. I'm so tired of accidently cutting myself down there when I shave

Your skin is much more sensitive then post pregnancy, I have had an Brazilian wax with my 5th pregnancy, and I am now on my 7th pregnancy. I would never again, have one done in my pregnancies again!! I never had compilations before, I also have a high tolerance for pain but it was awful!! I cried!! 6 cesarean deliveries and no problem but cried like a baby for two even after having the procedure done!! No joke!! I was sore and never had I been before after having one day. It felt like they literally lit up my bikini area!!! Horrible!! I choose to shave with a electric razor now in my pregnancies. But hey, try it!!! I wouldn't recommend it girl lol

I think it depends on the person's sensitivity. I've done the Brazilian about 4 times in my life (yes, it's waaaaaaaay Better to trim them super short so it doesn't hurt as much) I stopped doing it because it hurts tooooo much. Especially that one middle area on top of ur clit. Once it's over tho, you will be smooth and silky for weeks! :)

If its too long see if your partner will trim it down for you prior so it wont be as painful.  Even if he trims it a tad 'too short' ask for sugaring instead. It is good for shorter hairs and is supposed to hurt less also.
