Things are getting kinda hairy Down Under. Parents are
extremely ticked off because a website is promoting Brazilian waxes—for preteen girls. Girl.com.au, whose slogan is "Girl Power — Empowering Girls Worldwide," is a girl-centric website that usually covers things like Nancy Drew online games and PG movies.

I think only masochists look forward to a bikini wax, and small wonder: It hurts! The thing is, it doesn't have to hurt quite so badly. I've compiled a list of ten ways you can reduce the pain of waxing.

Since it's Beach Week here at BellaSugar, I thought I'd talk about a new at-home waxing kit I tried out. It's from
Completely Bare, a New York-based spa specializing in nearly painless hair removal. I confess, I scoffed at the idea of a pain-free bikini wax, but after getting a freebie coupon in a Fashion Week goody bag this past February, I decided to try it.
