Brazilian Wax?

I'm going to the beach in a couple of weeks and am thinking about getting a Brazilian Wax before I go. I normally shave down there, but I'm tired of the little razor bumps and stubble.

How much hair growth do you need when you get one (as in weeks worth)?

How long does the redness/pinkness last afterwards?

I'm sure it probably hurts like Hell, so I won't even ask about that!

Anything else I should know?

Thanx,
Anna Helene

Nobody has mentioned this that I could see. I want to get a brazilian wax but I am kind of embarrassed because I am overweight. I am not huge but I am very self-conscious, especially with this type of thing. Anybody else have this concern? Or any background on this?

I haven't checked back for replies in a while, but to answer your question - No, I didn't get the Brazilian wax before my vacation. I should have planned earlier and quit shaving sooner, because I realized I hadn't allowed enough time to grow it long enough for the wax to be successful. Of course, "now" would be a good time for me to plan ahead so maybe I'll give up my razor for while and get waxed. It would be a good reason to plan another beach trip!

Despite the hassle of having to shave daily on my beach vacation to keep things nice and smooth, I still had a wonderful vacation!
