Ladies,
All the recent talk about saddles and comfort etc. has me thinking. I am not always comfortable when riding and I've been thinking some of it has to do with ahem... unwanted hair. So I am entering uncharted territory - well for me. I am thinking of getting a bikini wax. Never had one. Never had anything waxed unless you count the time in university when I gave myself 3rd degree burns (not really sure which degree but my skin was REALLY pink for days!!), but only to one leg - I was never brave enough to try the other leg so there was a time when I was shaving only one leg. So now that I am much older and in theory wiser, I am thinking of trying the whole wax thing again. Considering the delicate nature of the area I think it definitely calls for professional help - no more do-it-yourself kits for me!!
For those of you who have waxed. Is waxing the way to go? Bikini or otherwise? Do you need to leave a certain amount of lead time before you go off and do a long ride - a couple of days??? Does the area get irritated? How long before you have to wax again? Is there anything that I need to ask beforehand? Dos and don'ts? I am just a little apprehensive considering my only experience... I read a bit about waxing on the forum, but I got the impression people were talking about legs and I have the feeling that this might be different. Is it?
Thanks ladies.
