I Got an STI From a Brazilian Wax - Dangers of Waxing
I don't remember becoming aware of it other than thinking I was slowly bleeding to death, and that I should just enjoy the last few days with my family rather than upset my mother by telling her about what was going on , but a few years ago, I morphed into a woman. Since then, I've tried to juggle everything I'd gathered that a woman should be doing—contouring and highlighting, eating chopped salads, never giving up on trying to learn how to French braid, getting bikini waxes—and also the fact that ultimately I shouldn't be doing those things because some branch of feminism said not to, right? Waxing is the optimal choice for those desiring less hair more on this after my PSA opener , but the experience of getting a wax is probably the most uncomfortable scenario many women will willingly subject themselves to. Most don't realize that they can take these matters into their own hands—and dispelling this notion may be the very reason why God put me here.
Confession booth: what your bikini waxer is really thinking
I only get Brazilian bikini waxes. Granted, it was only four weeks ago, but still, I like to think that I've made it my trademark. I like being hairless.
From bodily functions to confessions of adultery, here is what really happens inside the salon. You do not wax a vagina in the same way that you would wax, say, a leg. There is a lot more to consider: loose skin, counter pressure, hidden hairs, even menstrual blood. But mainly, someone with their most intimate parts laid bare on a table is going to be much more vulnerable than someone simply baring their legs to a stranger.
