You can apply a topical lidocaine a few minutes before the wax, but use it sparingly - you do NOT want to OD it. And take a Tylenol 30 minutes prior. None of this will make it painless but it does take the edge off.
Depends on your pain tolerence and the texture and density of your hair but it also gets easier the more you wax because the regrowth begins to thin out and you may build a tolerance. Start with a bikini wax to see how waxing the area is for you before committing to a full brazilian.

A Brazilian wax can be painful. It should get less uncomfortable the more often you do it. You might want to take an ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or acetaminophen (Tylenol) about 30 minutes before your appointment to reduce discomfort. You may have some redness and sensitive skin in the area for at least a day afterward.
Everyone's hairs grow in different cycles so it's possible that hairs below the skin's surface are just now sprouting after your wax service.
DON'TS: THE FIRST 24 HOURS AFTER YOUR WAX:
Avoid saunas or steam baths. Don't swim. Don't wear tight or non-breathing clothes to avoid infection: waxed skin needs air. Avoid perfumed products on the waxed skin.
Take a deep breath.
We often ask clients to take a few deep breaths and to try to relax their muscles once they get on the waxing table. Don't worry—it really doesn't hurt that much. And trust me, we want you to come back, so we won't do anything to traumatize you!

When wax won't set.

Kopelman said it's perfectly fine to give your skin more time to heal. And yes, this waiting period applies to oral sex, too. Your partner's skin, facial hair, or even slight stubble can irritate your sensitive, freshly waxed skin.
A vajacial is typically a 50 minute treatment, which includes a cleanse, mild enzyme exfoliant, extractions of ingrown hairs, followed by a custom mask, completed with a skin brightening serum or spot treatment. A light chemical peel can also be done in this area.
Is it better to shave or wax pubic hair? Waxing is often better for pubic hair removal as it results in less razor bumps and lasts longer than shaving or using hair removal cream. So, if you can handle the pain, waxing may be the way to go!
As for whether Brazilian waxing makes you wet, there is no definitive answer. Some women say that the sensation of having their pubic hair removed is arousing, while others find it to be uncomfortable. If you're considering getting a Brazilian wax, we suggest you do some research to see if it's right for you.
