I have been doing the brazilian wax regularly for the last few years. After a while, it doesn't hurt nearly as much as it did those first few times or maybe my tolerance to the pain has increased... Either way, I prefer it to shaving by a long shot. As far as someone looking at your vagina, yeah, it's kind of awkward, but I figure the woman I go to has seen mine and other vaginas before, and mine isn't particularly memorable so oh well, spread it! :hippy:
