Just tried sugaring. A bit concerned?

I was successful in making the sugar wax in the microwave. I used cornstarch to make the area I'm trying to wax dry. And I applied against growth and pulled towards the growth. And I didn't use numbing cream or any painkillers.

For the most part it worked. It worked on my arm and leg hair. So I decided to try on the Brazillian area. It worked in the corners for a bit, but once I worked further in, the hair wouldn't pull out, and it really hurt. I probably should've stopped earlier, but I kept pushing and the area got red, and I had to wash the sugar out.

Later when I showered and exfoliated, the area I waxed on my leg and arm were fine, but my Brazillian area kinda burned and stung. It was the same when I added lotion later.

Is sugaring better fit for thin hair? Is sugaring just not a good fit for thicker hair or am I doing something wrong?
