pain management and waxing

[Anthony]

I've done full body waxing 3 times before and always toughed it out. I happen to have some naproxin and codeine on hand. While rec drugs are not at all my style, I am all for avoiding unnecessary pain.

Does anyone have specific experience with this scenario? Will either of these drugs interfere with contest prep? Suggested doses?

thx

[Gunners]

full body eh? How long does that take?

naproxin and codeine have been shown to work exponentially (rather than additively).

[Anthony]

2 hours of fun

Why are you getting your whole body waxed? Competition? Really doesn't sound fun.

I'd take a few codeines maybe an hour before the wax session starts...then use advil after that if needed.

[Anthony]

yes, for competition. I'd have to shave after prejudging if I did not wax.

retwa - thx for the specific advice - assume you mean 50 mg codeine per tab?

[retwa]

Ok, well at 50mg I'd only take 1, or 2, assuming that you're a big guy...

too many ingrown hairs for me, and my mum is one of the best in the business, she said its just my sort of skin

i'd skip the pain and just shave! my forearms dont respond well to the razor though, so i use electric clippers on them. much easier and cheaper than going in for a FULL BODY WAX! no thanks lol
