How bad is it to get a bikini wax?

Question

I can't do any serious "grooming" myself because I am 9 months pregnant (so I can't see or reach that region). I used to use Nair and then trim what I left...

If you leave some hair, do they trim it at all, or is it just the same as when you came in?

Thanks!

I tried to do it at home with a professional kit. All I can say is OUCH and never again! But atleast the oil you use afterwards takes most of the pain away. I am stuck in that I can't see it to shave it part of my pregnancy too, lol, and Im worried that I will go into labor and they won't be able to find it, lol. I opted to get a mirror that wont rust, and put it in the shower so I can just shave it myself, make sure u rub shaving cream on the mirror, and it won't fog up!

You have flexibility. You can have a "Brazilian" which is where they get rid of all of the hair except for a strip or a traditional Bikini Wax which is where they just do the sides. I had a Brazilian wax. I thought it would hurt much more than it did. You can tell the waxer specific instructions as far as what to get rid of or keep. It kind of feels just a bit more painful than your eyebrows being waxed. Good luck!
