A Brazilian wax down under

Jul 9, 2007 | Promotions, Tips


I was walking around in Bangsar and saw a store called Ministry of Strip which is a store that does waxing, including brazilian waxes. I was quite surprised to see it, for things like Brazilian waxes aren’t things that are advertised openly here.

For the uninitiated, a Brazilian wax is the waxing of the pubic hair or bikini area. Sounds painful eh? It is, I heard. Someone I know tried to do it herself instead of paying a professional, and could not get out of the house for a week! I’m not kidding! You don’t really want to be messing around with hot wax or wax strips “down below”.

If you have heard of a Brazilian wax and are interested to try it, it would be a good idea to do some research about it online first, so you have an idea what to expect. The Brazilian Waxing Guide is a good place to start to read up about what it is and what it entails.

A Brazilian wax is a scary thought for me. However, it might not be for you, especially if you enjoy wearing bikinis or swimsuits that are cut high on the legs. Getting a Brazilian wax may be the best way to hide any unsightly bumps from shaving, or unwanted stray hairs.

If you have had a Brazilian wax done, I would love to hear about it!

    No, no, and a million times no. The pain’s bloody unbearable (try just plucking one of your pubes. Yeah, exactly), and you end up looking like a prune down there.

    Anyways, I think it’s simply pervy that men like a clean-shaven woman. It’s like lusting after little girls. Euuuw.

    So nopes for me on the Brazilian. I do encourage regular *ahem* grooming though ;)

    PB says: LOL! Not speaking from the voice of experience? ;) But yes, I agree with you. Its not natural to be clean shaven in women - grown women I mean…

    I actually tried….kekeke…brazillian from Ministry of Strip in Bsar… not cheap..and yes…it’s painful but bearable..only the ‘top’ part… I took the one which you wax all but surprisingly it’s not pain down under….

    I finally tried it a few weeks ago and I have to say that it’s not as painful as it is said to be. You also don’t need to go the full monty either, the lady usually asks if you want to leave a strip or go all bare. I wasn’t used to seeing it like that at first after doing it but now I can say that it definitely seems to be cleaner and neater and wouldn’t mind doing it again. :)

    PB says: Ooh! You are brave! :)

    I’ve done it several times at The Strip, Bangsar. Been doing it on and off every 1-2 months. It is painful but bearable. Plus, you get used to it after sometime. I take the “all off” treatment as it feels the cleanest. Btw, im a guy, so that may be a surprise (even shocking) for some :-)

    I’ve done it more than 5 times now. It became a routine for me that I would go back there at leasr once a month. Top part was painfull but bearable…bottom no problem for me. My hubby like it clean, so i go for “all off”. Worth doing.

    PB says: I’m going to have to think about it. Thanks for the feedback

    Glad to see there are no negative comments on Strip. Will be going there upon the recommendation of a friend. First time attempting waxing in Malaysia. Hope it will be as good as the ones I’ve had in England & China!

    Hey there waxing fanatics!
    all i can say is, not only Strip does the “down under” i suggest try that Ozmosis down at Telawi 2, upstairs La Bodega.
    Been going there for my regular monthly “torture” for 3 years now. Look for that lady who is damn good at doing it, not on Mondays she is very famous for waxing, obviously, she’s doing a good job so needed pre booking to get her.
    Not cheap, but just a piece of advise…don’t go for neophytes waxers, won’t do any good esp for brazilian virgin.
    have fun!!

    I am planning of trying out The Strip in Bangsar…was wondering what is the price like..could anyone please let me know?
    Thanks.

    Hey girl!
    If you go for first time…they charges (ozmosis bangsar-up la bodega) rm130, will only take you 15mins of pain but hell lot of pleasure that will lasts for weeks!
    they are giving some routine packages though so up to you if tend to do it once a month (recommended) then better fo for it..cheaper and fast..hygienic too.

    Hi Princess

    try ozmosis if i were you, they are the pioneer of waxing!
    2287-0380 look for RUBY- she is darn good:-)
    very experienced, you won’t have that “shy” feeling when she does it hehe

    i know this is overdue but i stumbled upon your blog as i was looking for the interior picture of strip… :-D i’ve gone brazillian for about 3 times at strip and until now i’m still shy about it. i love the fact they are very professional in every sense (no double dipping of wax -mean the spatulas are change at every application, gloves, detailed work etc) by the therapists. would recommend ppl to go there and at least have an experience of it. (if not brazillian wax, there are other parts of the body u can do e.f eyebrow, upper lip, fingers..). apart from there, do try their pedi/manicure!

    I have Brazilian waxes regularly and have had them at various places both in the UK (I study there) and here in KL. I used to go to Glitters but after having been to Strip… oh my. It’s so painless it’s unbelievable! After discovering it in March this year, I have refused to go elsewhere. They’re professional, they know their techniques and they do one hell of a clean job! I would definitely recommend it to any first-timers and regulars.

    I’ve been waxing for the last 3 years, tried many places including Strip, Glitters, Rupini, etc. I’ve never experienced painless waxing. Even after paying extra at Strip for their numbing spray, the pain is still there.

  15. Jasmine July 28, 2008 7:14 pm

    The pain does get lesser over time…. So by all means try it out…

    I tried Strip, The Curve (new opened) few days ago. Professional and hygiene service, cost RM114.50 and RM16 (soothing serum). They have individual rooms there, so felt very comfortable unlike other places which only have booths or covered by curtains.

    I just went to Ozmosis…It was great!!! Ok there was pain..but as everyone said..its bearable pain…just the shyness is abit too much if its ur first time..but for me it was still okay..I went for the brazillian although they suggested i try the bikini waxing first since Im a first timer…It was funny to see myself so hairless dwn there..but i js cant wait to wear bikini without the fear of any stray hair!

    And I didnt manage to try out RUBY…Michelle was the one who did it for me..she’s good too!!
