Day 8 - An alternative to waxing???

A concerned friend brought up a potentially less painful alternative to waxing - sugaring. Apparently sugaring results in less breaking out than waxing.
...wait a sec, rubbing sugar all over your body makes you break out LESS than hot wax?? Why don't I soften up my skin with some pizza grease while I'm at it!

So you can see why I'm skeptical. Professional skepticism is part of my job, so I turned to one of the most reliable resources available to man - Youtube:

Looks fairly painless, not much yelling or screaming by the dude in the video. I better check another reliable source of mine - Google. Hmmmm let's take a look at "women's-health.com - where women gather, share and learn!!"

"Sexymamaof4" is "just curious what the difference is between sugaring and waxing". Me too! Just like me, she also heard that "sugaring is less painful, but doesn't get the area as smooth as waxing does." Smoothness is key, I think I need a cost/benefit analysis on pain vs. smoothness. Does anyone have an Excel spreadsheet that can calculate this??

Let's check out more of this message board for more answers. "ZaraNaaz" asks "How is done?" This user can't even form a complete sentence, and from the name is sounds like she could be a "Beast from the Middle East" so we probably have the same level of body hairiness. She can be my guinea pig!

I finally found a user on this message board who actually tried sugaring...except I didn't get the reaction I wanted from "Autumn" - "It was ****, I'll stick to waxing." What vulgarity!

Hmm...I suppose waxing it is (unless someone can get me that cost/benefit analysis Excel spreadsheet)
