Brazilian Wax

You should get a technician that you feel comfortable with and understand that they do this all day, every day so it's not awkward at all.  She will most likely carry on a conversation about your daily life just like your hairstylist would.  In fact, schedule for an eyebrow wax to start off with so you can build a repore with her and then slowly work into the bikini wax.  You could start off with a traditional bikini wax and once you're more confortable move into a Brazillian wax. You might feel somewhat uncomfortable the first time you go in and if you tend to be modest, allert your technician and she can give you a towel to cover.  But after a few times, you'll forget you're naked, spread eagle for God and everyone to see.

As far as swelling and so forth,I've never had that happen.  The first time you have it done, the follicles may be irritated and you might have some red bumps in the area but that should subside within the first 24 hours.

In regards to ripping the skin off, that can be caused by the wax being too hot for your skin.  If your tech applies the first batch of wax and it feels painful, please allert her that the wax is too hot for you and you should have no problems.

 

Good luck!

 

I had always wanted to get one done, but after reading that, I've decided to keep shaving. I use the intuition razor which works great, and use some dove bar deodorant or a good moisturizer right after. No bumps, no irritation and no itching.
