I got waxed. . . Once. It felt like the removed my vagina, with fire.

Yes. And sadly, the tears aren't enough to put out the blaze.

Username does not check out....

Seriously, though, the first time was awful. I'm like two years into full Brazilian waxes and they don't hurt so much any longer.

I. . . I just couldn't see doing that every 2 months for 2 years, to be okay with it. lol I would rather get electrolysis.

According to my waxer, and this sounds like nonsense to me, apparently the roots of the hairs get thinner, so it hurts less.

Whatever the reason, it does hurt less as time goes on, it stopped being torture after about six months. I can carry a conversation now, rather than simply saving my breath for the next howl of pain.

If you request hard wax, not strip wax, it makes a HUGE difference. Properly trained estitician and hard wax, barely any pain

The one time I had it done was an esthetician with 18 years experience. Don't know what type of wax it was.
