Have you ever had a full body wax? If yes what did it entail?

Sounds painful. I always seem to get a histamine reaction ( lots of itching, swelling, and pus-filled little boils) when I get waxed, so it’s a no for me. I’m not taking Benadryl to remove hair.

Yes. It did hurt the most in armpits. And the regrowing hair needed rubbing a lot to prevent itching and sore skin. Also it was expensive. And skin care afterwards was also very expensive. So afterwards I switched to shaving again. Hair growth differs from body part to body part. So some parts need shaving more often than others and more care. Which is overall less work since it is only needed once a week for the most areas or so? And a daily routine on tiny areas.
