I am a firm believer that there is nothing worse on this earth than the pain of having a large patch of hair torn out of my bikini line. I’ve had many bikini waxes over the course of my lifetime (I’m a Jew – we’re hairy people!) and as much as I try, I cannot get through one without letting out a blood curdling scream. Poor Russian wax lady always feels so guilty.
Still, I keep going back for more.
Or less. Hair, that is.
The Brazilian, thanks to Samantha on Sex and the City, has become my wax of choice. As most women would agree (and those of you who don’t really need to reconsider), having a little forest poke out of my bathing suit/undies/mini skirt is not my idea of hot. A tiny landing strip – regardless how painful – is.
Perhaps I should reconsider. According to an article on the Huffington Post, “Genital waxing can be dangerous in that the hot wax can irritate or
tear delicate skin in the bikini area, resulting in infections.” In fact, two New Jersey women have recently sued in response to serious injuries downtown caused by a brazilian. I won’t go into details because I just ate lunch, but let’s just say it was gross.
And now Brazilians may be banned in New Jersey.
I understand that this is a pubic public safety concern, but people are angry! Salon owners, who would lose a lot of business with this ban, are outraged. I imagine the men who have to interact with a woman’s southern hemisphere are pretty pissed, too. And Diddy! What is he supposed to do?
I don’t know about you, but if I want my skin ripped off monthly in the name of hairless beauty, that’s my choice. New Jersey can’t tell me what I do with my nether-regions!
Let’s hope this doesn’t catch on; I don’t think I’m ready to do this one on my own.

whoa! you do it monthly??? i keep saying i want to have one done but i get teary when i get my eyebrows and lip done. i couldn’t imagine getting the twatamuss snatched on! so i’m old school with that. i break out my venus with the cucumber melon moisturizing bar and shave away everything. i do agree that there shouldn’t be a ban. maybe that salon wasn’t clean… or the women… or… ew… just got a visual… but anyway… yeah it should be a personal choice.

Get it all removed with Laser Hair Removal. It takes around 6 sessions and inbetween you can shave. Dont worry about the cost. In the long run it is cheaper. Think of the rest of your life not having to pay for waxing or going thru the pain.

my bf would kill me if i ever got a brasillion… he LOVES me “fluffy”
lolz….the swimsuit thing, yes, i understand your point, but you can always wear a coverup skirt, or shorts, or just say “who cares!!’ because people need to accept pubic hair, its a normal thing and EVERYONE has it!!!
you may want to look like a pre-pubescent girl
but i’ll keep looking like a woman,

Never on my own! I’d die:-). Like, once my waxing lady told me how she had one client who tried to do it on her own and ended up having to come to her, since the girl messed up so badly! My body starts to want to scream when I imagine how that girl must have been hurting…!!!

I like how you critize those who choose different options that yours; especially since you go through all the pain of the wax whilst your guy more than likley doesn’t do anything.
Cheers for maintaining the status quo of comformity through criticisim.
BTW I love the shaved look.

There are now two laser systems available for home use. So, if NJ bans brazilians, buy a laser and do it yourself at home. It is much less expensive that way, anyhow:
