Let's Tackle that Hairy Question: Are Brazilian Waxes Necessary?
Do you really need a Brazilian wax these days? That's the question a woman posed to the Times of London, after a new beau was "shocked" by her presence of pubic hair. In her letter, she says, "I don’t think that a permanent tan and Brazilian wax should be dealbreakers in a relationship.
Expectant Mamas Can Get Waxed, Too
If I were carrying a baby Bella inside me, I'd like to think that I'd have some pressing issues on my mind: Lamaze classes, proper nutrition, getting the nursery ready, that sort of thing.

But if you want to test your pain threshold before the birth, you could always go in for a bikini wax.
The Spray That Makes Waxing 10 Times Easier
I've been searching for a new waxing esthetician, someone who can make it easy for me to hit the beach without showing the world my lady garden. This is more difficult than it might seem, especially because bikini waxes are no, uh, trip to the beach.

As the warmer months approach, perhaps you're thinking of heading to the salon for a bikini wax — or maybe even a Brazilian, if you dare. And if you're living in New Jersey, you can rest assured, knowing that a possible ban on Brazilian waxing has been lifted. Last week, officials in the Garden State threatened to prohibit the risqué service due to concern about hair removal safety around the oh-so-sensitive intimate areas, particularly after two women were sent to the hospital with infections following the bare-down-there treatment.

Reader Review of the Day: Parissa Quick and Easy Wax Strips
I don't know many people that actually enjoy shaving or waxing. But what I do know, is how much of a relief it is to find a hair removing product that actually works. That's what reader Steph55 found in Parissa Quick and Easy Wax Strips for Face and Bikini ($8).
Australians Pushing Brazilians on Preteens
Things are getting kinda hairy Down Under. Parents are extremely ticked off because a website is promoting Brazilian waxes—for preteen girls. Girl.com.au, whose slogan is "Girl Power — Empowering Girls Worldwide," is a girl-centric website that usually covers things like Nancy Drew online games and PG movies.
Ten Tips for a Nearly Painless Bikini Wax
I think only masochists look forward to a bikini wax, and small wonder: It hurts! The thing is, it doesn't have to hurt quite so badly. I've compiled a list of ten ways you can reduce the pain of waxing.
Product Review: Completely Bare Wax Works
Since it's Beach Week here at BellaSugar, I thought I'd talk about a new at-home waxing kit I tried out. It's from Completely Bare, a New York-based spa specializing in nearly painless hair removal.
