How do I avoid bleeding when I'm waxing/sugaring?

What am I doing wrong if I'm drawing blood when I wax or sugar? When I tried the "wax" strips on my bikini line I had this problem, and again recently when I tried sugaring (the kind with the cloth strips) under my arms. I am being careful to only do a small area at a time, and to pull the skin taut. Anything else?

Oh... it also didn't remove the hair very well, if that gives any useful information about what's happening.

    Those are very sensitive areas. I use Veet, it causes a lot less pain and the hair is thinning out where I use it.
