Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

My first Brazilian wax was the most painful thing I had ever experienced. I like to think I have a high pain tolerance, but that pain was on another level. However, I had heard that the more you go, the easier it gets. I had booked a second appointment, got there, and realized I just couldn't do it. My sister-in-law told me that a friend of hers used a numbing cream each time that way it minimizes the pain. After looking into different products, this is the one I decided to go with. The container is fairly small, but you'd be surprised how far a little bit goes. After one use, I still have 2/3 of the container left. I applied the cream about an hour before my appointment. I used a grocery bag to cover it that way the air didn't make it evaporate or whatever more quickly. Thirty minutes in, I decided to apply a second coat. I went to the appointment with the cream on. When I got undressed, I wiped it off with baby wipes. My pain went from a 10 to about a 2. I barely felt a thing. It was like getting an eyebrow wax, but better!! I will say that she had to do an extra coat of wax because the oils from the cream were preventing the wax from gripping the hair. However, after the first wax coat, the oils were gone. DO NOT GET WAXED WITHOUT THIS! It was life changing. I will be using this every time moving forward. Also, I should note that my numbness lasted through the whole appointment and about 20 minutes after. So about a hour in total.
