Sac Wax - The Verdict

Butterd2

Posted on here about 3 weeks ago that my Missus sprang an unexpected Waxing on me before I went off to ride the Pyrenees c2c.
Cue lots of gags (some good even) and a few warnings about in growing hairs etc.

Well for anyone interested I have to say it was very effective. This was not my first long distance event (750kms, 44k feet of ascent over 6 days) but it was by far the most comfortable. Without being too graphic none of the usual spots, pimples, rashes etc occurred so I would consider this a success.

Now before you all rush down to Boots, it really did hurt, but I have to admit I will consider doing it again next year (just be sure to get drunk first).

I think I'll stick to the rashes.... The thought of being stripped bald down there is not enticing

Hmm.

Sometimes, you might find that when you're putting packaging into a bin bag, a stray piece of sellotape, that still has some "stick" to it, will stick to outside of the bin bag.

Attempts to remove the sellotape can often result in a torn bin bag.

That's a parallel one can rule out of this exercise, right? With absolute certainty? Or a "well, *almost* certainly that would never happen".

Because there's a fair old difference between the two...

Very delicately put.

Oooowww never thought of it like that (legs crossed).

Still I'm only one more kid away from the snip anyway, apparently.

Do not try this at home
I tried hair removal cream
After a few weeks out the saddle I was a tad saw when I went back out and could only put it down to hair growth so had one of my so called bloody good ideas ( I am beginning to wonder how I made it to 40)
Hair removal cream, this had good results and when I went out for my ride, it was smooth in all senses of the word
however I missed some hair so applied more cream later that day BIG mistake
I have now named this experience napalmknackers and have set a new PB from the bedroom to the shower
one funny thing came out of it though my 6yr old son asking
" why are you in the shower in socks and glasses" :oops:

Dude,

Did you actually check back into your original thread?

You've got a lot to answer for......

So girls that get waxed, given what they are doing it for and the subsequent pain... is it really worth it?

I don't get Greg's post far too subtle for me...

rjsterry

He's suggesting some skin might come away with the hair.

that would make no difference if your contents get an airing and being out of any action for quite some time

For some reason I really don't get the wax was actually red so when I first looked down this is roughly what I saw, nearly fainted!!

cee

my faither is a nurse.

when he was doing his geriatrics stint...he had to bath old men.

in the bathroom, they had a plastic garden chair (you know the white plastic sort)....and a hoist.....

anyway...this poor old man was in for his bath....sitting in his birthday suit on the plastic chair....hoist attached...

unfortunately...there was a little split in the plastic chair....which had widened when the man sat down...hoisthoisthoist...split narrows again....riptear....bloodeverywhere....dad described the scene as more than just a little like that bin bag above

:shock:

Hell even as a female that's made my eyes water. It beats the phone call I had from a 15 year old who had fallen off his bike (one of those BMX things in a skate park) and had injured himself, he asked very timdly for the fire brigade as well because he had trapped a testicle between the frame and wheel :shock: :shock:

Even I nearly threw up at that one...that was before I laughed after I hung up the call.

As soon as I got to the line with the split in the chair I winced :shock:

Reminds me of a tale related by an older gentleman who found himself on a trawler in rough seas.
(At this point he informed me of the man sacks tendency to grow longer/saggier over the years)
Anyway, said chap took to the toilet in order to have a "number two". Queue enormous wave that dropped the boat off the top, putting our man into momentary freefall.

When he landed he was trapped between porcelain and seat and unable to move. In order to move he needed to first take his own weight, he couldn't do that because it hurt too much wit his plums held firm.
Apparently he was trapped for about 5 minutes and was bracing himself in order to "give it all a big pull" when a second wave did the trick for him.

Phew

I never want to go to sea in a storm


ever

some ship designers are sensible, they design the heads to enable you to stand up to pee and poo. :shock:

I'm led to believe that the answer is that if the <ahem> bin bag is not pulled taught first, there is a risk of the sellotape taking more than was intended with it. It appears this might be something to get professionally done rather than DIY.
