Brazilian waxing is rapidly gaining acceptance as an effective and long-lasting method to get rid of unwanted pubic hair on the perineum, anus, vagina and pubic area. Even though it generates the greatest amount of pain compared to other pubic hair removal techniques, many women still swear by Brazilian waxing because the effect lasts for up to a month. A worthwhile trade for long term pleasure in exchange for short term pain.
The Truth About Brazilian Waxing and Bikini Waxing
A lot of people confuse bikini waxing with Brazilian waxing. Bikini waxing involves only to the waxing of the pubic hair along the bikini line. This is recommended for first-timers to get a feel of the waxing process without going "all the way" . There are a few types of Brazilian waxing. You could decide to have all your pubic hair removed or leave a tiny portion of pubic hair in whatever design you want but usually a "landing strip" design is the norm.
Where Can I Get A Bikini Wax?
You could Brazilian wax at home by yourself with a home waxing kit. The good thing about having a Brazilian wax at home is that you do not need to show your privates to a stranger if that distresses you. A good home waxing kit only costs $20 or less, which will help you save a lot of time and money in the long run. The drawback is you can't really see areas like your anus and perineum from your position. It would be a real headache for you to wax these regions by yourself.
The most common place to get a Brazilian wax is to visit a professional waxing studio. The whole procedure should take about thirty minutes depending on what pubic hair design you desire and how much hair you want removed. The more elaborate the procedure, the higher the price. Be prepared to pay anything from $25 to over $100 for a Brazilian waxing session.
What is Brazilian Waxing Like?
At a waxing studio, you will be required to take off your %pants and briefs and lie down on a waxing table. Some studios use a numbing spray on your pubic area to reduce the pain during waxing. If you have long pubic hair, your pubic hair stylist will have to trim it before applying the wax. Next, a coat of gluey honey-like substance is applied on your desired areas of waxing with a wooden stick called an applicator. Thin pieces of muslin waxing strips are then pasted onto the drying wax so that the wax can be removed easily. Once the wax has dried, your stylist will pull it off with one strong yank.
Usually, the first attempt will not remove all of the hair. Your stylist may have to repeat the waxing process or pluck out the remaining pubic hair with tweezers. Once all the hair has been removed, soothing lotion will be applied to relieve some of the pain. There is no guarantee that you will not develop ingrown pubic hair when your hair starts to grow. Therefore, it is recommended that you buy ingrown pubic hair lotions to try to prevent ingrown hairs or treat them when they develop.
