Are Bikini Waxes Painful? Here's Your Answer in Slow Motion
It’s basically been scientifically proven that life’s best—and worst—moments get even more intense when watched in slow motion. (See all the oddly satisfying/ASMR beauty clips that keep popping up on Instagram, along with every heel-give-out moment ever.) Keep that in mind when you’re watching this video because we turned the schadenfreude and commiseration volume up to 10 by slowing these women’s reactions to getting a bikini wax for the first time way, way down.
Yeah, it’s slightly weird to watch total strangers get their pubic hair ripped off. (Not gonna sugar coat it: It really reminds us of this story.) But then again it’s also pretty freaking strange that we consider putting hot wax right near our labia a part of personal grooming and not something that happens exclusively in Dante’s deepest, darkest circle of hell.
But because you can only watch so many blackhead extraction videos before needing a change of “I never knew I needed to see this, but I can’t look away” pace, we invite you to investigate the core of human experience by way of 15 women’s reactions to the end of their pubes as they knew them. (Until they grow back anyway.) At the very least, it absolutely answers the eternal question: “Does getting a bikini wax hurt?” What do you think?
