Brazilian Waxing: Anyone been there, done that?

I’m getting my first full Brazilian wax done this Saturday. I picked a salon with a good reputation and I’ve opted for sugar waxing as opposed to traditional hot wax. I’m planning on taking an Advil or something about an hour before my appointment, as suggested by the salon website. I’ll wear loose clothing and I’ll obviously be nice and clean when I go in there.

For those of you that have gotten it done, do you have any tips for me?

Of course, I’m nervous about the pain, but I’m way more nervous about being embarrassed. Logically, I know they’ve seen a lot worse than what I’ve got, but I’m definitely not looking forward to getting in awkward positions and having my hairy business in some stranger’s face.

My only specific question is this: I plan to shave my legs before I go in there, but I’m not sure how far up on the inner thigh I should shave. How far onto the leg do they go, or do they just stick to what’s under the bikini bottoms?
