STRIPped for Summer!
5:41 AM
Last week, I stripped
for the first time....
I did my first Brazilian
Wax!!!!
I've hesitated for way
too long about trying waxing because ALL my friends told me that it hurts like
a b***h... But I was still pretty eager to try. After all, I believe we all
like to feel clean and hygienic down there too! When I received an invitation by
Strip to try one of their new limited
edition Summer waxes, I accepted
it without much hesitation! I've heard many good reviews about Strip (&
Browhaus, they're under the same company!) before so I know going to them for
my first wax was probably a great choice.
The 2 new Summer waxes
are:
LemON
LemOFF - Whitening Lemon Wax
CucumBARE
- Moisturizing Cucumber Wax
The
waxes used: lemon on the left, cucumber on the right :)
I chose the whitening
LemON LemOFF wax because... whitening HAHA. I went down to the Strip outlet at
Mandarin Gallery (Level 3) without a clue about what was going to happen to me,
or my dearest little sister since it was my first time doing waxing too!!! (But
surprisingly, I didn't feel nervous at all!)
So...
Was it AWKWARD?
A little, definitely.
Like who wouldn't feel awkward having someone staring at your down there for
half an hour??? LOL!!! Especially since it was my first time too! But the therapist was very friendly and motherly and she kept talking to me to
distract me from making me feel awkward, so it got better for me after 5
minutes in there :) I also figured out that the therapist has probably seen all
shapes and patterns of ladies' intimates that they are immuned to it already,
so actually there was nothing to feel uncomfortable about! What you have, she
also has! :)
Was it PAINFUL?
Honestly, I'd rate the pain level 3.5/10. BUT that is because I have a pretty high
tolerance for pain (as also confirmed by the therapist because she said I am
too calm and quiet for a first timer!!!) I only felt the pain for 2 out of
maybe the 12 strips done, at the most sensitive areas. The other areas were
like an ant's bite for me, but that is just me maybe?? So if you have a
high tolerance for pain, this should be no kick for you but if you have a lower
tolerance, you might feel that it can be a lot more painful?
I think waxing is
definitely better than shaving after I've done waxing! It's cleaner, my
skin feels smoother and I feel more hygienic! (is this
TMI?? I hope not, anyway I think I am old enough to talk about this maturely so
there is nothing to be shy about. It is something ALL females have as a
biological part and is nothing to be ashamed/shy about really) :) It also helps
a lot that the premises of Strip was kept really clean and cosy such that the
treatment went on very comfortably for me! :)
Here's a satisfied me
