I recently endured a bikini wax at Cucumba Waxing. OK, I say endured, but what I really mean was it was as pleasurable and as painless as anyone stripping wax from your privates can be, which is not very. Despite the therapists opening with 'Spread your legs like you're giving birth', it was a lot better than expected, and we're talking about someone who has a verry low pain threshold.
And why was it only merely uncomfortable as opposed to teeth clenching agony? The answer seems to be hot wax whereupon they forgo strips and simply peel the hardened wax off the area. Somehow I'd never been aware of this before, and I wondered if this was just me, or if there was a secret club I didn't know about. A quick office poll showed 50% were in the know and the other half were clueless, so I ask you- did you know what a hot wax was prior to this piece?
