Here are a few tips that help the process to be much more painless. Take extra strength pain relievers such as Tylenol, and a couple of stiff drinks 45 minutus or so before waxing.(Be sure the medicine is Ok to take with alcohol). Use a warm washcloth on the area to relax the folicles. Focus away from the pain by forcing your concentration onto something else: counting backwards by threes, singing along with a recording, exhaling evenly while stripping off the wax.
The Tylenol dulls the pain; the alcohol reduces pain and it relaxes you; the shift in focus helps all the way around. And as the instructions say,
be sure to strip the wax very quickly.
