My wife recently had the Brazilian sugaring done. She said it was much less painful and invasive than waxing. I haven't tried it yet but probably will. Waxing is never fun just something done but better than shaving.

I've vaguely heard of it but my only issue is that I THINK it only removes hair above the surface of the skin. So you'd have to do it far more often than waxing. Is this the case? What's the procedure like anyhow? Anything beats shaving!

When I saw the title of this thread I thought it would be about a substitute or alternative for what I put in my tea so I had a look... silly me must get out more... sorry.

No, it doesn't only remove hair above the surface. It isn't that different from waxing in my opinion, the only difference is that a sugar paste is used instead of wax strips. The paste is warm and kind of thick, like sticky slime or honey, and it will rip the hair out same as the wax strips do. Definitely not pleasant either, although less painful than wax - the difference is that you don't go AGAINST the hair, but IN THE DIRECTION of the hair, so it's less painful and does less damage to the skin. I think they say the benefit is that you can even prepare the paste at home (never tried it though), also it's more natural (no chemicals involved while they usually are in the wax) and suitable even for sensitive and allergic skin. I'd say the effect lasts pretty much the same as wax, for me it's every three weeks or so.

I'm Brazilian and just discovered what Brazilian sugaring is! Hahah lush is so educative... I've found that it's what I always did and thought was just called "warm waxing" (with a natural recipe).
It's possibly just marketing though, our nationality does seem to have an appeal on that matter. As it's warm/hot, the pores open, and it does hurt less.
Want more time between sessions and progressive result, with much less pain? Laser will give that. The downside are tattoos.

My understanding is that it is a procedure that removes hair at the root, so essentially, waxing without the wax. And given that it's a sugar paste, likely with a lot more mess than is to be encountered with waxing.
The only upside seems to be that for the DIY crowd, sugar paste is water soluble, and residue can be easily showered away. As my waxing is done at the hands of my aesthetician, this is not a consideration, and so...yah, no, not trying the sugaring.

I tried a north Georgia honeying last night, but I shaved first.

I had posted this on another thread about waxing ....
I don't wax any more because of the skin irritation; "sugaring" in some places is also called "sugar waxing".
It is an all natural "honey" made from food-derived ingredients like sugar, water, and lemon juice to remove the hair follicle from the root.
Sugaring doesn't stick to the skin as much as waxing, which means less irritation.
The proper technique is much more technical than waxing (an interesting thumb drag and wrist flick), the discomfort is less because hair is removed in the natural direction of its growth (as opposed to waxing, which removes hair against hair growth). This ensure less ingrown hairs (virtually none if you use some gentle scrub / loofas).
It's really not a DIY type of thing unless you are doing it on a friend .... but still it takes a LOT of practise to really be effective.
Definitely more eco-friendly than wax ... and a much slower re-growth because the sugar rips the hair from the root instead of breaking off the hair with the wax.

Amen!
Sugaring has been around for quite awhile .... it's definitely a better option than shaving and waxing, in my opinion. I've had a sugar-er (hahahaha) that has done my sugaring for a good 7 or 8 years.
Let us know how you like it!!

I wax my own self on a regular basis and I only have positive things to say about the process: the results are quite long-lasting and it doesn't even hurt all that much, and that's coming from someone who can be quite clumsy.
'Don't fix what's not broken' is the rationale I'd tend to follow, though I'd be curious to experience the differences. From the little I know of sugaring however, it seems to be a much more delicate procedure than waxing... and not something I'd be comfortable performing myself... and thus probably not something that I'd really stick to.

Recently tried and yeah, Brazilian sugar waxing is much less painful than hot wax. Will definitely keep requesting at the salon, but only for intimates since it costs more and takes a bit longer.
