i reaalllly think u should let a professional do it. however, if you must, you want to look for brazilian "hard wax." it either comes in little pots that u heat up on a warmer or you buy a bag of wax pellets and warm them in the warmer.

it's nice to put a light dusting of talc on the skin to protect it, and see where u've already waxed. never re wax the same section bc you could rip off the top layer of skin. if it didn't pick it up the first time, you need to tweeze. oh yeah, if the follicle bleeds a bit, that's good - it's a sign u've successfully ripped the hair out at the root.

good luccckkkkk ......

I didn't even know that men did this kind of thing. Wouldn't do it myself though. Pulling ones pubes out with wax sounds kind of painful.

I've just got mine done (a boyzillian - that is what it is called this part of the world) on Wednesday. Yes there was a little bleeding, the pain was bearable though.

Waxing always causes trauma to your skin and hair follicles. If done incorrectly habitually it's easy to to cause distorted follicles and create all sorts of problems from ingrown hairs to cystic inflammation. You should seek out a pro that uses "hard wax" which is said to be best method. I had body waxing with undesired side-effects that lasted for months. Then I switched to laser and electrolysis hair removal without looking back. A permanent option for your unwanted hairs on private parts is electrolysis. I had random shaft hairs and my scrotum zapped with electrolysis hair removal, so I no longer have to bother with weekly routine of shaving down there for life. And it's not more painful then getting your ball hair ripped out with some hot wax.

Laser and electrolysis costs vary greatly, but important thing is to do your homework and find a reputable place that uses good tech and skill. My laser for chest and abs is considered costly at $2,500 for 6 sessions (shouldn't take more than 8 on male body.) You can find places where it can cost you as little as $1200 for the same job. Electrolysis costs are the same. Mine charged $80 an hour. Some places charge as high as $145 an hour. I ended up spending about $450 on scrotal work. Skill and speed in electrolysis will get the job done fairly fast.

what has not been mentioned in this thread is how do male Appreciation stars get their hair removed. There must be a industry standard and I expect they have mastered the process?

Agreed, I think he would be cursing while spinning in his grave.

If you shave you will become proficient enough to do it in under 2 mins, and have to do it every 3 days or so. Waxing seems like more trouble than it's worth.

Think carefully about getting lasered down there, for getting rid of a monobrow fine but if you break up with this lass your next girlfriend better like no hair on your pubes, I've yet to meet or hear of a woman who does.

Having said that, I have nothing but respect for women who have bikini waxes. I would never have my pubes waxed, a slight slip when trimming is bad enough.

This is one of the most ridiculous things I have ever read.
