After seeing the results with lazer Im switching to that.
The regrowth has been dramaticly finer.
There are some new lasers these days that can be calibrated to different darker skin tones which means yes they can keep adjusting so all the hair can be lasered off. so Im trying the full brazilian next time.
Does it hurt? Hell yeah! But the results are so much better.
Even a few sessions if that is all you can afford will mean that you will have much sparser regrowth that is very soft which will make waxing/shaving easier.
If you do go to try laser it only works on actively growing hair so shave for a while as waxing slows that down.
Anyone else done laser? Especially the full brazilain?
At the risk of providing TMI, yes, I've been getting laser treatments. I have waxed for several years, but decided to go for something a bit more permanent.
Laser does hurt... at least for me. Feels like someone snapping a thick rubber band on my naughty bits.
Over and over and over and over. 
As hair growth is cyclical, the jury is still out on results. I'm still a little dubious as the fine print states 80% to 85% permanent hair removal but it'll be another eight months before I finished the course of treatments. We'll see... I'm hoping for better.

Lucy, since you're up here with me, you can look into sugaring, it's supposedly not as bad as waxing since the removal goes with the hair rather than against it like with the waxing. I've only tried it once and it's ok. As far as I've been able to find out, it's not available in the States. Other than that, it's exactly like a brazilian, using a sugar mixture instead of wax. I also have sensitive skin and have had minimal problems. Just the usual redness and swelling though it wasn't as bad after the sugaring as it has been after a wax.
Sugaring is available in the States, though I'm not sure how readily it is available outside of large cities. At the time I had it done, I was living in Dallas... the one and only time I had a "professional" Brazilian done.
I wasn't the least bit impressed with sugaring. Yes, it was less painful... however, I think that is because rather than pulling most of the hair out by the roots, quite a bit of the hair was just broken off at skin level. I walked away from that feeling like I had a five o'clock shadow. A week later I had pulled out the wax to do myself again as I couldn't stand the stubble.
That was just my experience, though. It sounds as if you've been happy with it.

Actually, why can't your Dominant person do it for you? I am fairly adept with my hands, good at following directions for a process, and VERY detail-oriented. So why couldn't I wax My girl? Anyone have experience with the "home wax/sugaring" kits? Any reason NOT to embark on learning this skill?
There's absolutely no reason that a dominant (or sub) couldn't do the waxing. It isn't hard and I dare say there isn't much to "learn". The set of instructions that come with kits are generally short but give you all the details you need.
Except for the one experience noted above, I've always done my own waxing. Yes, you have to be a bit of a contortionist and it takes a lot of willpower to make yourself yank the wax off when you know it's going to hurt like a mother, but it can be done. Still, it helps to have someone else doing it.
(Funny thing, though... I find it very easy to do waxing on Firm. Go figure.  )
I've used a few different brands and can honestly say the only one I found that was worth anything is Surgi Brazilian Wax. Avoid the Sally Hansen brand. 
Surgi comes with a pre-epilation oil (to keep the wax from sticking to the skin), microwavable container of wax, and a couple of little wooden applicators that look like the tiny wood spoons that used to come with the individual containers of ice cream. I highly recommend picking up a package of wooden sticks/tongue depressors that you can get at a hobby store.
Some waxes are applied to the skin, then cloth strips are pressed into the wax until it's cooled. The cloth strips are then pulled off. Surgi is a wax that doesn't use strips... you simply apply the wax, let it cool til it hardens just a bit, then pull the wax. It takes just a bit to get the hang of, but a lot less than fooling with cloth strips.
Surgi costs less than $5 for a kit and I've found that it's generally enough to do three Brazilians. I've always found it available at Walmart, and no... it's not found in the haircare aisle.  Look in the makeup and beauty section... usually there's a hair removal section close to the nail implements area or the skin care products.
Good luck!
lol... I can't resist saying that this message is brought to you by the makers of Surgi® brand Brazillian Wax.

Oh my gosh! And when I recently replied to the profile of a "Brazilian", I told Her that I had also been born in South America.
