I would never do it again. Waxing is ok for other areas, just not there.
Thanks Trex..I may stick to the razor for now. 
I go once a month. Love it.
Takes a little getting used to. Yes, the first time you go it hurts, you'll swear up a storm
and yes, it might not look too pretty. But you shouldn't bruise if the person knows what they're doing (pulling the wax too vertically can cause bruising) unless you have a clotting problem.
Shaving just leaves me with a lot of ingrowns. Good luck! Let us know how it goes!

PS Definitely don't try it yourself at home... Unless you really know what you're doing. That is a big mess!

Yes bruising is not good... never had bruising but it did hurt, but I'm not good with stuff like this.. and I'm really bad with ripping off bandaids.
But I had it done every six weeks for years..
You have to get over the first few times and then it gets better and better, the hair thins out, and grows back less and less.
Also at different times of the month it's more or less sensitive... just before your period it hurts more.
It hurts, but it's worth it..
However I'm seriously thinking about investing in a laser machine - good old DIY... has anyone got one, any reports?

Thanks to both of you for the feedback.
You know, I was recently looking at a device called the "nono"..I'll find the website. Seems like it has good reviews and a little bit different then laser but...it's $$. (although less then laser treatments).
Just googled it, it looks like nono is a no no..ha ha ha. It is expensive and the reviews aren't good - check this out No! no! Epilator Reviews Australia www.no-no.com.au
Yep...that doesn't sound good. You're right..the nono is a big NO NO!! LOL
Thanks for the link! I'll save myself a few hundred $$!!

really not as bad as you think and very worth it!
Time Required: 15-30 minutes
if the waxing is too painful, ask the technician to apply strips to smaller areas at a time.
Since the Brazilian means everything off except for a "landing strip" in the front, don't be surprised when the technician removes the hair between the buttocks. Yes, for most people, hair grows there. If you want to be completely bare, this is called a "Hollywood" wax.
Once the waxing is complete, the waxer will tweeze any stray hairs and she may trim the remaining landing strip, or even create designs (if there are patterns for this, I do not know where they exist). Some women even opt to dye the remaining pubic hair.
The procedure, like any waxing, can be very painful at first, but frequent visits usually cut down on the pain factor as does 2 Advil an hour before your procedure. You can also apply a topical anesthetic, such as "Relax and Wax No-Scream Cream," 45 minutes before the procedure.
The downside of a Brazilian wax... while it lasts 3-6 weeks, the hair will grow back -- albeit finer and lighter -- and you'll have to do it again.
Another downside... hair has to be a certain length before it can successfully waxed. Hair needs to be a quarter-inch if it's fine, a half-inch if it's coarse.
Book the appointment for at least a week after your period.
