Confused Kudi Just Showed Us Why We Prefer Shaving Over Waxing! Dard!
I remember the first time I got a proper wax. It was my 10th farewell and my mother decided that her 16-year-old daughter was ready to have her body ripped from its roots. And while I lay there trying not to scream out loud, I thought if this was the price of beauty a woman is expected to pay. And I was on team waxing for years until I developed an allergy that made my skin extremely sensitive to any type of pressure or rough handling. I would end up with hives all over my limbs whenever I would get waxed. That’s when I switched to shaving and you can bet your ass that I will NEVER go back to waxing! If you’re wondering why I am bringing this up right now, it is thanks to the new video by Hauterrfly’s very own confused kudi aka Pavni Mehrotra as she documented her experience bikini waxing for the first time and this brought back bitter memories I had clearly suppressed. So here are a few reasons why I will never go back to waxing!
1. Need for personal space
I don’t know about you guys but I don’t want anyone too close to me unnecessarily; especially not a parlour aunty I see once in a few weeks. Like, I am sorry ma’am, we ain’t that close.

2. THE PAIN!
Okay, no societal standard, man, woman or anyone for that matter, is worth the pain of waxing. Like… Imagine having your hair ripped out using hot wax! I genuinely believe that waxing was some medieval torture technique which men decided to market to women just for shits and giggles.
3. Parlour aunty having no sense of basic boundaries
Didi, why are you commenting on my skin being dull or eyebrows being bushy. Aap apna kaam karo na! Who asked you for free ka tipni. I refuse to pay to be shamed for an over an hour, thank you very much!
4. I enjoy grooming myself
I have actually grown to really enjoy the process of self-grooming and shaving a part of my routine. I love taking the time to focus on myself and body while pampering myself. And smooth skin on bedsheets and a supreme feeling I live for!

5. Convenience
Unlike most of my friends, I don’t need to take appointments for my grooming sessions. I can shave as and when I need to with no worries of having to go somewhere or be available at a particular time. Moreover, if I am on the go, it is more convenient to carry my shaving kit over waxing.
So these are 5 of the MANY reasons why I truly believe that shaving is better than waxing. And as much as I applaud Pavni’s guts to get her first bikini wax on camera, the struggle I witnessed (or rather heard) reminded me how amazing my shave routine is.
