When is the best time to wax? Before or after a shower or bath?

I purchased some Parissa brand microwavable body wax and want to try waxing my legs myself. I wasn't sure if this would be easier to do before or after I took a bath and was thinking if I did it before I would still have some skin oils that might protect it better from the wax, but if I do it after my skin will be softer and maybe it will hurt less? I was worried about the irritation level associated with when I do it as well. Anyone have any insight?When is the best time to wax? Before or after a shower or bath?
I've been waxing my whole life, as does pretty much everyone I know. We wax before taking a shower for practicality, becasue the stuff is gooey and you'll have to take another shower anyway.





But also, wax removes the dry skin, which is what makes your legs sooo smooth and refreshed afetr waxing, and I think if you waxed when you came out of the shower the dry skin will not come off as easy, because it won't be dry.





And I imagine that taking a bath beforehand would increase the pain, because warm water will make the amount of blood circulating in the skin increase, which will make skin more sensitive. It hurts no matter what, you just have to deal with it, and when you've waxed a couple times it stops hurting so much.When is the best time to wax? Before or after a shower or bath?

looks like your getting answers 50/50. half say before half say after.





maybe you should try in between. halfway through your shower stop and wax (then all your pores are open and it would hurt less) and then resume your shower (so that all the goey crap can get washed off)
I would do it after my shower because the hot water opens my pores and maybe then it would hurt less.
after, your skin will be softer and the hair will be softer too
dont listen to the people who are saying before


after is best


your poures are more open your skin is softer


and the hair comes out easier
it will hurt less if you do it after your bath or shower because your pores are then open and the hairs come off easier
i think before taking a shower

Will shower gel work as bubble bath?

ok, so my aunt gave my mom some shower gel stuff, and my mom really doesn't go for that kinda stuff at all, so it's mine if i want it. so i'm wondering, would it work to use shower gel as bubble bath?Will shower gel work as bubble bath?
yes:]


they work just as good as bubble baths


anything soapy, will make fairly good bubbles.


shampoo, body wash etc


Except conditioner O.oWill shower gel work as bubble bath?
yes it will, most bubble bath gels work as shower gel too :)

If you ever pee in the bath or shower?

is it a small squirt or full release


accidently or purposelyIf you ever pee in the bath or shower?
Nope not peeIf you ever pee in the bath or shower?
I don't pee if I'm taking a bath, obviously.In the shower I definitely do, but mostly because I can't help it..when I get in the hot water it has the same effect like when you put a sleeping person's hand on hot water and it makes them pee. I just can't control it.





Now I'm depressed.
it depends.


usually it's a full release,


because you can't get out walk over to the toilet, do your business and get back in, because the toilet paper would stick to your lady parts and then you would have a big mess of water to clean up.


so it a full release and purposely. ((:
A full release on purpose, because I don't want to get water everywhere. And I don't want to sit on the dirty toilet and get myself dirty all over again. But I only pee in the shower, not the bath. Because it can easily be washed away in the shower.
if i gotta pee and im in the shower, im not getting out. its going down the drain.


in the bath, though, you would just be swimming in your own filth, ew.
i'll pee in the shower i haven't tried it in a bath and it is usually a full on empty the bladder thing.tmm
Full release in the shower. I'm like trained to do it now. every time i take a shower i have to pee. Two birds with one stone.
NEVER in the bath ...


... accidently in the shower.





... your question sounds wrong on so many levels!


... XD
sometimes squirt %26amp; sometimes full release. %26amp; on purpose.
that is a really really sad question.


but anyway haha, full release in the shower on purpose and same thing in the bath when i was about 3!
In the shower,but not in the bath.Anyone who says they have never done it in the shower is probably not being honest lol
bath-ewwww


Shower-if i ever do it (which is rarely) it would be full release purposely
Or go for a crap but then it dosnt wash away and you have to try and shove it down the drain using your toes!
Uhm, never unless I was like 1 years old.


I pee in the toilet :)

7:00 am bath or shower ??? Daily or twice a day ???

Bath twice is my rythm -7:00 am bath or shower ??? Daily or twice a day ???
If you work a hard and irty job then twice a day is the norm. The one in the morning is to wake you and work out the sore joints and the one at the end of the day is for th eobvious. I don't know how some people can go all week without a bath. Bodies stink if they are unwashed after 2 days. Why are people so lazy?7:00 am bath or shower ??? Daily or twice a day ???
twice daily
Early shower since I work 2ND shift then on weekends if I am going out I take another shower.
Gooooooooooood fooooooor yoooooooooooou!!!!!
Shower- once a day.
shower,every night before i go to bed.
Unless you are a farmer working around animals and manure for 15 hour days, there's no reason for showers or baths more than once a day.
shower is better for your skin, if you have dry skin a bath is harder unless you put oil
I take a shower twice a day once before I go to class and once when I get out of class.....
ok i dont know the weather you have but in barbados it is okay to bathe up to three times a day as it is hot and humid all the time





but optimally you should do it at least twice bearing in mind that for people with excessive hair on their bodies needs a bit more attention and then for women it is more so because of all the germs that can be passed from touch and clothing and some doctors say that a female is ten times more likely to pick up unwanted germs from partners and every day contact especially in places like the subway or underground or buses or from toilet seats or restaurants.
Shower, when I get home from work, and another when I wake up, or before I go to work.
i go with the bath as well





after working all day i dont want to be standing








all the best

shower morning cz i need to rush to work but long warm bath in evening to relax!
I shower once a day at night before bed but I will shower twice if I shower early and had a busy day. I always try to get a nice long relaxing bath once on the weekends.


Is it Friday yet? : )
take a shower or a bath, but whichever you choose, its important to moisturize... i always take a shower at night, that way all the lotion i put on after will have time to settle in my skin.. the only time you need to take another in the AM is if you sweat in your sleep
If you take a bath twice a day thats really bad...your probably drying out your skin so bad..not to mention your hair...but hey if you need to wash twice a day you do what you gotta do...i don't get that funky...honestly i could not shower for 2 weeks and smell fresh..LOL
whatever makes you feel comfortable and what you have time for.......


because no one else is in your skin and if you feel dirty or over clean no one else will feel it but YOU!

Baby with no bath, only shower?

How did you handle having baby with no bath, but only a shower? i do have a small basket that's for to wash baby but its up to toddler and i wonder if my baby will like it as she grows up? can they live without bath? i know many babies love bath to play with toys..but our place doesn't have bath..only shower...how did you handle that?





She is only 2 months old now....Baby with no bath, only shower?
I have the same problem. At first I tried the sink, but our house is old and the countertops are so low that my back would KILL from trying to hold my son correctly. I ended up getting and inflatable baby tub. It is about 2.5 feet long and has a plug in the bottom, so you can drain it without having to mess with it too much. Right now, I set it on the countertop, with the plug over the sink. It raises my 3 month old up to my level, so I can support him well (I put a towel on the bottom so he isn't slipping all around). When we are done, I just pop the plug and go about my business of drying/clothing him. After it drains, I can just pick it up and store it in a closet so I don't have to inflate it every time. When the baby is sitting up on his own, I will move the little tub to the bottom of the shower. We will be able to use this for a while. When he is older, I plan on just doing a shower with him and then doing other things like a pool or something to that effect (hopefully we will be in a different house though, and I won't have to do that!)Baby with no bath, only shower?
go to website www.onestepahead.com and order the inflatable tub.

We're in the same predicament. We bought a large baby tub, and put that into the shower and washed her in it. We eventually found a sturdy plastic table and actually put the tub on it. This isn't safe, but we stay next to the tub so that there's less of a danger, and it makes it so that we can play with her more.





The problem we're running into now though is that she's outgrowing it, and I hate to give her a shower since it's so much less pleasant. So I'm going to watch your question and see what folks recommend for you.
hey!


my friend had a small shower til her little girl was about 3 and they just used to but a baby bath in there ( you can get some toys, the ones that stick to the side and you can pour water in) in the end she loved having a shower, but all kids are different, my shower scares the hell out of my little boy, just hope your baby girl is ok too as she grows older, im sure they get used to what they know and dont miss what they donk know :S x
You could always bath her in the laundry sink when she gets older. My friend does that as she does not have a bath tub. My newborn was having shower when he was younger and still does he plays in the running water and thinks it's great. If you are worried about your baby not having the 'play time' in the water you could always take him/her to the pool.
look at the primo euro tub...it is great...nbs can lay on the incline with a smalll amt of water ;and when they can sit up, they are supported sitting in the other end and u can add more water for them to play.....i am so glad i got it instead of those 'infant tubs'
My sisters 3 year old step son LOVES the shower. He is always asking for a shower. They also don't have a bath. I wouldn't worry. Kids like different things.
You can use a sink for when she gets older but stores will sell you these plastic tubs with little seats. You fill them up with water and then you can wash your baby in them.
use the kitchen sink
