I have a newfound respect for all you ladies that wax. Yesterday, i got my back, chest and abs waxed and while the back wasn't so bad, holy crap the chest and abs were intense. i don't even want to imagine what a brazilian feels like /shudder
Question: what do y'all like to remove redness/bumps? This is my first time to get waxed and i have red bumps all over my stomach chest and traps. really the areas that hurt the worst are pretty inflamed. thanks!

There is a lotion call Calumet (or something like that... white bottle w/ blue lettering) and it works great. Also after waxing if you have someone to immediately rub down the area with a solid deodorant stick that will help. It has to be a solid stick like Degree or Arm/Hammer. Not the clear "gel" kind that contains alcohol.
But in all reality, why wax? You can go on sites like Groupon and find discounts for laser hair removal 6-8 sessions for $199-$249. Look for the ones that use the Lightsheer Duet laser. You will never regret it.
Hair growth inhibitor - stopgrow.com This product has really helped in my fight against hair!
Tea tree oil. Can't believe the waxette didn't use it after you were done. Powerliftgirl likes me to get full Brazilia. You don't know pain until the hot wax hits the nuts, then it gets worse when the tearing takes place. It really only hurts real bad the first time or two then it gets easier. Shaving will give you ingrown hairs and they are no fun. Lucky I have some native Indian blood in me, hardly any body hair.
she did use tea tree something or other and then this rub that tingled a bit, probably some sort of exfoliant.
next time, if there is a next time, make them put powder on your skin so the wax doesn't stick to your skin. Also, they should have a wax that is for sensitive skin.. I'v honestly never had this issue from waxing but I would try a warm washcloth compress and smooth some witch hazel on the affected area.
thank you grrrl, an answer to my question! lol a girlfriend recommended tend skin and st ives apricot exfoliator. she also recommended exfoliating next time BEFORE the waxing.
what if i dont grow body hair :(
Anonthen u,are alucky fucker and should be happy
Anondamn wtf is up with,yalls backs . why the fuck would wax it or do you actually have hairy backs? I sprout two wild haird on back but no reason to wax or shave or anything lol
LOL! back hair is pretty normal, thank god I dont really have any...yet. I have southern european roots so I got mad chest, arm, leg hair. ive heard women say body hair is nasty but for some reason all the women ive been with love it lol.
dexitrimI just had my back waxed for the first time in July. Torture. The first day, my skin was baby smooth. Almost felt like plastic. The next day, the red bumps started, and it felt like I had a sunburn. The next day, every red bump had a whitehead. It was crazy fun for my wife who stood there for 15 mins popping all of them. She put some oxy treatment on them, but I don't think it helped much. Luckily, I did it 2 weeks before my vacation, but I still had a decent amount left for the trip. Ever since then, it's gotten better, but they still keep cropping up. I can't tell how much of it is from the hair growing back or my cycle/pct. I'll just shave from now on.
