Body Waxing
Everyone needs a good laugh every now and then.
Well it's now....and at my expense!
Prepare to laugh your rear-end off!! Don't skip anything.....read it ALL!!
All hair removal methods have tricked women with their promises of easy, painless removal - The Epilady, scissors, razors, Nair and now...the wax.
My night began as any other normal weeknight. I drove home, fixed dinner, played with the kids. I then had the thought that would ring painfully in
my mind for the next few hours: "Maybe I should pull the waxing kit out of the medicine cabinet and try it."
So I headed to the site of my demise: the bathroom. It was one of those "cold wax" kits. No melting a clump of hot wax, you just rub the strips
together in your hand, they get warm and you peel them apart and press them to your leg (or wherever else) and you pull the hair right off. No
muss, no fuss. How hard can that be? I mean, I'm not a genius, but I am mechanically inclined enough to figure this out. (YA THINK!?!)
So I pull one of the thin strips out. It's two strips facing each other stuck together. Instead of rubbing them together, my genius kicks in so
I get out the hair dryer and heat it to 1000 degrees. ("Cold wax," yeah...right!) I lay the strip across my thigh. Hold the skin around it
tight and pull. It works!
OK, so it wasn't the best feeling in the world, but it wasn't too bad. I can do this! Hair removal no longer eludes me! I am She-rah, fighter of all wayward
body hair and maker of smooth skin extraordinaire.
With my next wax strip I move north. After checking on the kids, I sneak back into the bathroom, for the ultimate hair fighting championship. I
drop my panties and place one foot on the toilet.
Using the same procedure, I apply the wax strip across the right side of my bikini line, covering the right half of my hoo-ha and stretching
down to the inside of my butt cheek (it was a long strip). I inhale deeply and brace myself....RRRRRRIIIIPPP!!!!
I'm blind!!! Blinded from pain!!!!...
OH MY GAWD!!!!!!!!!
Vision returning, I notice that I've only managed to pull off half the strip. OH CRAP! Another deep breath and RIIIPPPP! Everything is spinning and
spotted. I think I may pass out...must stay conscious...must stay conscious.
Do I hear crashing drums??? Breathe, breathe.................. OK, OK I'm getting back to normal. I want to see my trophy - a wax covered strip, the one that has caused
me so much pain, with my hairy pelt sticking to it. I want to revel in the glory that is my triumph over body hair.
I hold up the strip!
There's no hair on it.
Where is the hair???
WHERE IS THE WAX???
Slowly I ease my head down, foot still perched on the toilet. I see the hair. The hair that should be on the strip...it's not! I touch. I am
touching wax. I run my fingers over the most sensitive part of my body, which is now covered in cold wax and matted hair. Then I make the next BIG
mistake...remember my foot is still propped upon the toilet? I know I need to do something. So I put my foot down.
Sealed shut! My butt is sealed shut. Sealed shut!
I penguin walk around the bathroom trying to figure out what to do and think to myself "Please don't let me get the urge to have a BM. My head may
pop off!"
What can I do to melt the wax?
Hot water!! Hot water melts wax!! I'll run the hottest water I can stand into the bathtub, get in, immerse the wax-covered bits and the wax
should melt and I can gently wipe it off, right???
*WRONG!!!!!!!*
I get in the tub - The water is slightly hotter than that used to torture prisoners of war or sterilize surgical equipment - I sit. Now,
the only thing worse than having your nether regions glued together, is having them glued together and then glued to the bottom of the tub...in
scalding hot water. Which, by the way, doesn't melt the wax.
So, now I'm stuck to the bottom of the tub as though I had cemented myself to the porcelain!! God bless the man who had convinced me a few
months ago to have a phone put in the bathroom!!!!! I call my friend, thinking surely she has waxed before and has some secret of how to get
me undone. It's a very good conversation starter "So, my butt and hoo-ha are glued together to the bottom of the tub!"
There is a slight pause. She doesn't know any secret tricks for removal but she does try to hide her laughter from me. She wants to know exactly
where the wax is located, "Are we talking cheeks or hole or hoo-ha?"
She's laughing out loud by now...I can hear her. I give her the rundown and she suggests I call the number on the side of the box.
YEAH!!!!! Right!!
I should be the joke of someone else's night. While we go through various solutions, I let the water drain out. I resort to trying to scrape the wax off with a razor . The part I can get to.
Nothing feels better than to have your girlie goodies covered in hot wax, glued shut, stuck to the tub in super hot water and then trying to
dry-shaving the sticky wax off!!
By now the brain is not working, dignity has taken a major hike and I'm pretty sure I'm going to need Post-Traumatic Stress counseling for this event.
My friend is still talking with me when I finally see my saving grace....the lotion they give you to remove the excess wax. Ah Ha! I'm saved after all...I
relax just a little. What do I really have to lose at this point? So I rub some on and OH MY GOD!!!!!!!
The scream probably woke the kids and scared the dickens out of my friend. It's sooo painful, but I really don't care.
"IT WORKS!!
It works !!" I get a hearty congratulation from my friend and she hangs up. I successfully remove the remainder of the wax and then notice to my
grief and despair....
THE HAIR IS STILL THERE.......ALL OF IT!
So I recklessly shave it off. Heck, I'm numb by now. Nothing hurts. I could have amputated my own leg at this point.
Next week I'm going to try hair color......Hey, what could go wrong with that?

PB You slayed me!!!!I laughed so hard Lee came to see what was going on. You really told that well.
In France once, I was 18 and went for a leg wax on legs that had never even been shaved. The woman did one strip with hot wax and that was it for me. I paid the full amount and left with one bit of cleared forest.

What an experience! Not one I wish to share.
For a bikini wax, I guess it's time to go to the salon.
I remember going for a bikini wax once, and it was so painful I didn't go again. They did my legs and "Bikini" area. Awful!
So, it might not just be your home care kit.

My ex wife went out and bought the wax kit you are referring to and she asked if I would help her, so I said sure. I just did what you did only not knowing any better I just grabbed it and pulled fast and quick. I thought it would be painless but I was wrong. I know not as funny as your experience but how many husbands would be willing to help. :rofl; and no that is not the reason that she is my ex. :rofl;

:rofl; :rofl; :rofl; That's started my day with tears of laughter pouring down my face. Paddbear PLEASE don't colour your hair, I'm sure it's beautiful just as it is - really just DON'T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And of course next time you wax just send for Sluff :rofl;

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Omg. That was awesome. I've used those cold wax strips too. They do NOT work well on that part of the body. I found that out the hard way too. I'm glad you were able to remove the wax! Thanks for making me laugh. :rofl;

I emailed it to my sister and she emailed back that I should have warned her. She laughed so hard this morning her dog came out of his crate into her lap!
-
Now that was funny!! :rofl; :rofl; :rofl; :rofl; :rofl; :rofl;
Thankfully we have very little body hair, so I don't have to mess with that. But my daughter when she was a teenager, wished she had hair on her legs so she would be able to use Neet or Nair!!!!

I didn't write it! I found it on the internet. I'd love to take credit, but I'm a horrible writer.
Didn't you guys notice that it mentioned kids? I don't have any!

S**t, I was already wracking my brain about where to find you an agent for either a book deal or a stand up comedy gig.
Doesn't change the laughs I had though.
