      This sounds like either fashion advice or cooking advice, and I don’t want to know which is is! I’ll ask the wife if she’s tried “sugaring” over waxing and see how she responds.

        It’s skin advice, lol. If you’re looking to rip hair out, sugaring is the far superior choice. I get a Brazilian sugaring done ever 5 weeks, and I pop right out of my appointment without pain or any of the other waxing ill side effects.

        Wax sticks to the top layer of your skin, so when the hair is ripped away, so it the top membrane layer. This leaves you more susceptible to infection, also, it fucking hurts. Sugar just sticks to your hair and leaves skin intact.

        Wax uses paper strips, so much more waste. You use the same sugar for the whole appointment, no paper is used.

        Wax uses a higher heat point to work, which is why so many people get burns when waxed. Sugar uses a much cooler heat point, so it won’t burn you.

        I just don’t see any pros to waxing over sugaring. Some people claim sugaring lasts longer, but if it does, it’s not enough of a noticeable difference, imo.

        I get a Brazilian done, so I go to a professional to do it. I know you can do it at home, and I might try my legs or pits that way. But not a Brazilian, lol. I do know it’s easy to make. Googling how to make it will show lots of results.
