Coughing
Some people find that coughing can distract you from the pain. Of course, you want to tell the woman that you are planning to do that so that she does not get surprised. Also make sure that it does not affect the waxing.

When you exfoliate, dead skin cells are eliminated. This helps the wax get to the short hairs better and can help with the pain. There are many different products that allow you to exfoliate your skin. In addition to helping with the pain of the waxing, it can also make your skin look nice.
