It is every woman's choice whether or not she wants to remove the hair from certain parts of her body. No matter what she choses, she will be beautiful.
And for those of us who decide to shell out the cash, time, pain, and effort to be hair-free? We've all got some kind of horror story or another.
Getting waxed on any part of the body isn't particularly pleasant. If you're going for a bikini or Brazilian, it can be quite intimate and revealing. Something embarrassing or particularly painful is bound to happen at some point over the years. But, it's all in the name of feeling like a queen, if that's what makes you happy!
Experimenting with at-home waxes, waxing with your significant other, or going to an aesthetician can all lead to stories that'll get a laugh… even if they were very painful at the time.

“When I was 14, my best friend and I decided to try a bikini wax. It was summer, we were bored. We found a pot of wax and strips in her mother's closet. We microwaved it way too long, and subsequently burned ourselves while applying it. While getting over the trauma of the wax burn, we let the strips adhere too long and ripped off the strips while the wax was hard, producing large and immediate purple bruises on the side of our vaginas.” —Reddit User

“I went to my regular salon for a Brazilian and was chatting away with the esthetician and she says, ‘so hows your boyfriend?’ I said ‘great, did I tell you about him the last time I was in?’ She said ‘no, just a lucky guess.’
“The next day I was showing off the smooth new me and my boyfriend blurts out ‘Babe I'm so sorry.’ I have no idea what he is talking about and was a little weirded out thinking something had happened at the salon. Turns out he had given me a giant hickey on the inside/back of my leg.” – hali-kitty

“My boyfriend gave me a Brazilian. His roommate was about to call the cops because of all the shrieking and yelling coming from behind closed doors. I just remember yelling ‘YOU HAVE TO HOLD THE SKIN TAUT!!' the entire time. Neither of us had any idea what he was doing, despite watching the instructional video.” —hermoliver

“[Lost] half of my eyelashes when waxing. So that was real cute.” —what_a_cat_astrophe

“My best friend and her mom took me with them one time to the place where they often went. We were both 18 and it was my first Brazilian but not hers. She came out not even phased a bit. I came out with puffy eyes and only my left side done. They didn't make me pay since they felt bad I had such a bad experience.” —alibubz

“I bought some of those wax strips that you warm up with your body heat. I decided the best place to start was my legs, to see if I could handle it. I decided, in order to get through it, I would stick them all on, all the way around my leg, and then pull them off one by one. That way I couldn't chicken out.
“Well… by about the third strip, I was crying and my legs were swollen and bright pink. I kept trying to convince myself to finish it, but I couldn't. I ended up rubbing the wax strips FOREVER, and then slowly peeling them off the wrong way.” —hooksforfeet

“The first time I got a Brazilian, the girl asked me if I wanted my butt waxed and I was like ‘Sure, why not?’
“She starts and asks me to spread my cheeks and I guess I get nervous or have a very sensitive/ticklish butt because I could NOT stop laughing. I was laughing like a maniac while she was waxing me and I could NOT stop. Tears were coming out of my eyes. She had to stop and wait until I calmed down. The second she would start again, I'd start giggling like an idiot again.” —mm2182

“I get a Brazilian every 4-5 weeks with the same girl (usually) and I missed a few with her due to scheduling and being on vacation, her being on vacation, etc. Well, the next time I went in, I had a different hair color (it's a normal color now as opposed to a streak of pink before). She didn't ask me about school at all, or my life like normal, which I thought was weird but just figured it had been awhile.
“Until I take my pants off and hop up on the table with my legs in the weird frog position and she goes ‘Oh, it IS you! I wasn't sure because your hair but I recognized your piercing!’” —peppermnt

“Somebody filled the calming aloe vera spray bottle with an industrial strength paint cleaner that was used to clean hair dye stains from the floor. They did not label the bottle and she then sprayed it on a customer that just got a fresh Brazilian wax. The customer started complaining and an ambulance was called. Ouch!" —veevaa123
