Sac Wax

Butterd2

I'm off to cycle the Pyrenees next week and whilst talking to my wife on Sunday about the forthcoming discomfort I mentioned my nice new Assos shorts and Assos cream, Fizik saddle etc before wondering if a little less hair down below would make things cleaner/more hygienic etc.

Anyway I thought nothing more of this until I got home last night to find the kids in bed, dinner for 2 laid out with a bottle of wine and a tub of hot wax sat on the table :shock:

Having already had a couple of beers after work I saw no option but to MTFU so I necked the wine, lay back and thought of England. And f*ck me it hurt!

However apart from the hangover all was well this morning and the ride in did feel ever so smooth. I kind of hope it doesn't help though because I'm really not sure I could do that again!

Anyone else been this enlightened / stupid?

Do the words "be careful what you wish for" mean anything to you?

Bet the neighbours were peering through the curtains wondering what all the noise was about.

Pah.

Real men use No More Nails and a sheet of material they've ripped off the back of a kick boxer.

If they did it at all

Which they don't

Unless they want to and who'd argue?

Veet imparts a nice tingly sensation. But I stick to shaving.

spasypaddy

i personally find its much more comfortable down there with no hair getting stuck or anything

Girls the lot of you !

Pah. Real men dangle their love spuds in a running blender. None of this faffing with razors!

Why can't women park?

'Cause for years men have been telling them this:



is an inch.

Clever Pun

Does that mean women are incapable of using measuring devices? Or just blame men for you inadequacies?

Perfect timing, i've been having this conversation on and off for a couple of weeks now, off to the Alps very soon and don't really fancy the hairy yeti look but to be honest i'm not wild on the hairy short look either.

Waxing is defo gonna hurt like a MF and shaving well that will take hours and grow back, so I was thinking shite I already have panniers I might as well go the whole way and veet.

So how much veet would one need ...?

:roll:

Hey! I told this joke in the "women don't draft" discussion the other day.

Admittedly without the picture, but with the punchline as 6 inches.

which works better.

spasypaddy

when i said it gave me an extra inch, what i meant to say was it gave me an inch :oops:

You're aware that hair which has been waxed/veeted also grows back, right? With far more complications (potentially) than shaving?

I would strongly recommend you don't do it for the first time shortly before a serious bike ride.

not a huge amount. get some clippers to trim down and then veet the rest off.

i never got any complications when i first did it.

But LiT, I would think the heat generated in 'that' area would enable the new hair follicles to grow outward rather than curl inward - ingrown hairs.?

Anyway, I think it would be an interesting experience for them :twisted:

Oh almost forgot ...

Pics or it didn't happen
