Pain during a Brazilian wax can be due to several factors. First-time waxing tends to be more painful as the hair is thicker and coarser. Furthermore, the sensitivity of the skin in the genital area contributes to the discomfort. To minimize pain, ensure the hair is at least 1/4 inch long, exfoliate beforehand, and consider taking a mild pain reliever 30 minutes before the appointment.
