Waxing down there myself for the first time any tips ?

I wax all the time! Make sure the hair is longer than a grain of rice (longer the better). Try to exfoliate the day before. Make sure skin is totally dry when waxing. Hold the skin taught and rip the wax/wax strips FAST! The faster the better. Even if it is uncomfortable just keep going. The more you do it the easier it gets! Let me know if you have other questions
