Bikini wax?

im going to book my first professional wax at lunch time, im a bit scared! I know its going to hurt. What sort of underwear does everyone where when they go. Im guessing i need to be really specific about how much i want off? Any tips/advice welcome!

Update:

by the way i normally shave so i know how much i want left, which aint much to be fair!

    Small pants that are old. and take clean cotton big pants or cotton boy pants with you so after the wax you dont chaff, as it is your first time. I am a therapist and to be quite honest, I usually prefer ladies to remove their underwear, especially if they are getting quite a bit off. Trust me, I have saw and touched more womens bits and pieces than most male studs!

    And dont worry Carriewannabe, a proper professional therapist is like a doctor. Good luck! xx

    I have mine done every 6 to 8 weeks. The best thing to wear is your smallest pair of thongs that way they can get most off without you losing your dignity! I never go when it's near the time of the month as it is much more painful so mid cycle is best. There's no lying that the first time will be painful but once you have been a few times there's nothing to it! And it's a much better result than shaving. Good luck...

    Any under ware you wear will be fine, they usually pull them to one side, whichever side they are waxing, it hurts a bit the first time, but it is something you get used to if you keep doing it. some people have just their sides done (forgot what this one is called) or others just leave a line of hair, known as a Brazilian.

    The beauty parlour i use don't provide anything, so just wear nice, clean knickers!!!

    Don't be afraid to ask for what you want and don't feel like you have to use the 'proper' terms. One persons landing strip is another persons brazillian, so just tell them how much hair you want leaving on.

    It does hurt, but its not agony, and its over so quick and gives a wonderful result, so its very worth it.

    suggest wearing the higher cut undies. Also don't drink too much caffeine before you go, makes things more sensitive and if it's you first time try taking some ibuprofen right before they start to reduce the swelling and pain..... good luck.

    just wear some ordinary underwear, im not gonna lie, it does hurt, but its soon over so dont worry, plus they put some lotion on afterwards which helps.
