Sugaring vs. hard wax vs. soft wax

[adlove]

I've only had a handful of brazilians done, but my girl used hard wax for the majority and maybe a bit of strip wax to get any leftover hairs. I've heard hard wax is the best as far as pain, but I really can't compare it with anything else.

I'm partial to hard wax, although now I make my own wax with honey and sugar (not quite like sugaring though because you still use a strip to get it off) and I do feel like it's nicer on my skin

Me too. I also heard hard wax wasn't supposed to hurt as bad, but I think whoever made that up is a liar liar pants on fire.

I've only ever had hard wax or the strips. Honestly, the strips weren't that much more painful. I want to try sugaring though.

I do hard wax and really like it. Well, as much as you can like that kind of pain.

I've done reg soft wax and it works for me. The hard wax was a disaster! It was like a comedy of errors where it would NOT come off. She had to cut it off w/ small scissors. There was a deep discount and a lot of shame, humiliation, tears...

The best waxers I have seen prefer hard wax. I wouldn't mind trying sugaring though!

I prefer having hard wax used on my lady bits. I feel like it's a little more gentle on my skin and I don't get ingrowns nearly as much as I did with soft wax. I didn't care for sugaring (and maybe it was just the technique) in that area b/c it didn't clean up the area as well as I hoped it would. Not to mention that the slightest bit of moisture and the sugar taffy stuff looses the abilty to grip (I'm a sweaty bitch).
