Looks like this, Cathlene. Small, metal, square, with some stickers on it. Can't miss it once you open up your computer.



ETA: To be honest, Juju, I've never used bleach. I've ruined many a good harddrive with water, however, and only assumed that bleach would ruin the components further. You caught me in a bit of an untruth, LOL.

Well, dang, Karen. I thought it was the gospel truth. Really.

Okay, so you have redeemed yourself with an accurate picture of a hard drive.

Juju, I wonder if snopes.com has anything about the bleach & water theory. lol!

I kinda like that idea to be able to soak it to death.

Hopefully this isn't viewed as a TMI question... I really do want an answer.

Anyone ever had a Brazilian wax? Is it worth the trouble? Do the 'pros' after the fact outweigh the 'cons' during?

Karen: It hurts like freaking he-double-hockey sticks ... and it's embarrassing to have done.

But whether it's worth it is a personal preference thing, I guess. It's certainly trendy and the "in" thing to do right now.

Oh Karen I just sent an invite to my gf's for us to get one lol. Uh we won't be going until October though. I hate shaving cuz it grows back quick and itches when it does so I wanted to try the waxing.

I love getting my eyebrows waxed (even though I get unbelievably red from it), but that's about all I'm brave enough for. I can't even imagine...

LOL Mocha, you'll have to let me know how it goes! I can't stand shaving either... by day three it usually looks worse than before you shaved!

See, I'm thinking about ten days in the Caribbean... wedding night, honeymoon. Razor burn is the last thing I want to be worried about. I have no problem plucking individual hairs - even from the most sensitive area - but I'm not sure about 400 of 'em at once, LOL.

As for the embarrassment of having it done (another dumb question here)... aren't there DIY kits I could try at home? That way I could just give up and pull out the razor if (when) I chicken out.

Guess those creams (Nair, Veet, etc.) aren't safe to use there, huh?

SO SORRY if all of this is too much info...

The Parissa strips you get at Shopper's do work, though I wouldn't try a full Brazilian.

Karen, I've had several done. I like them very much and would do them every 3 weeks if I could afford it. If you work with a professional place, embarrassment is minimal at the first visit and then nonexistant. I totally think they are worth it. You might want to do it a couple of times BEFORE you do it right before the wedding because the first time you have it done is the worst and you are more likely to have a reaction. The second, third, etc. are easier and you should have less bumps.

Go for it!

Karen I wouldn't try a diy kit. I just don't think they'll work as well. Oh there was a great article in Allure about waxing which also gave me the idea. Not sure what month it was though... I don't think you can use Nair back there. Uh you do know it also involves waxing the bum dontcha?

Too funny that I came accross this subject because I just bought a "Carefree" diy kit (not for brazilian kind, just too remove bikini hair) since this obviously is the place to ask embarassing questions - does anyone else get "ingrown hairs" or "pimples" down there?

Dannysgirl, that's another reason why I was asking about the waxing instead of the shaving, but didn't want to go that far, lol. I was hoping waxing would reduce the ingrowns. Does it?

...wonders what on earth she's started...

Brazilian waxing is a type of waxing involving the bikini area.[1] [2] [3] [4] This procedure involves the complete removal of hair from the buttocks and adjacent to the anus, perineum and vulva (labia majora and mons pubis). It can be thought of as a more extreme form of bikini waxing. The majority of types of Brazilian waxing leave a small line of pubic hair above the vulva, commonly known as the "G-Wax" or just "Brazilian"[citation needed]. Waxes that completely remove the pubic hair are either termed "Hollywood" [5] or "Sphynx" depending on the salon visited. Sometimes the term Full Brazilian Wax, Full Bikini Wax or FBW or eBodyWax is used. While mainly associated with females, the practice is engaged in by males as well. It is named after Brazil, the country with which it is most often associated and from which the modern practice originated.[6]
