Bikini waxing is the removal of pubic hair using a special wax, which can be hot or cold, that adheres to hairs and pulls them out when the wax is removed quickly from the skin, usually with a cloth strip. While the practice is mainly associated with women, male waxing has become a more common practice to remove men's pubic hair. [ 1 ]
The practice of bikini waxing has been associated with hygiene and grooming purposes. It has also been credited with reducing cases of pubic lice globally but may increase the risk of folliculitis or infection around the hair follicle.
Asking for recommendations from friends or family members who have had a Brazilian wax is a great way to find a reputable salon or esthetician!
1. What should I expect in terms of pain during a Brazilian wax?
Pubic hair can be removed in a number of ways, such as waxing, shaving, sugaring, electrolysis, laser hair removal or with chemical depilatory creams. Waxing involves applying melted, usually hot, wax to the pubic hair that an individual would like to remove. The wax, which adheres to the hair as it hardens, is then covered with small strips of cloth. When the wax hardens sufficiently, the cloth is pulled off quickly, removing the hair from its roots as the wax is pulled away. Waxing can be performed on oneself privately using a home kit or by a cosmetologist at a salon or spa. [ 3 ]
Wax allergies may cause discomfort and pain during and after the procedure. This can lead to inflammation and irritation of the skin in sensitive areas.
Brazilian waxing is often seen as a symbol of beauty, cleanliness, and confidence in many cultures, while others view it as a controversial beauty standard.

"Bikini line" redirects here.
A bikini line is the area of the upper leg and inner thigh in which pubic hair grows that is normally not covered by the bottom part of a swimsuit. [ 2 ] In some cultures, visible pubic hair in this region is disliked and/or considered embarrassing and so it is sometimes removed. [ 2 ] However, some people remove pubic hair that will not be exposed for aesthetics, personal grooming, hygiene, culture, religion, fashion and for sexual intercourse.
It is important to gently cleanse the area with a mild, fragrance-free soap to prevent irritation.

Brazilian waxes can cost anywhere from $50 to $100 at reputable salons, depending on the location and experience of the esthetician. Prices may vary based on the salon's reputation and the quality of products used during the procedure.
Some salons use disposable gloves and clean equipment to ensure that the procedure is as hygienic as possible. Additionally, aftercare instructions are provided to clients to prevent any potential infections or irritations. So, rest assured that Brazilian waxing can be a safe and hygienic option for hair removal!
Wear loose clothing to your appointment for comfort after waxing
Your esthetician may have specific guidelines on how to prep for your appointment, such as hair length or exfoliation recommendations.

Tips and tricks for a successful at-home Brazilian wax
Less maintenance required
It is common to apply an antiseptic cleaner and powder to the area prior to waxing. Wax is applied with a spatula in the direction of hair growth the size of a strip about 2 inches (5.1 cm) wide and 4 inches (10 cm) long. When the wax is set but still pliable, the wax strips are pulled away against the direction of hair growth while keeping the skin taut. The strip is ideally pulled off as swiftly as possible. [ 4 ]

Allergic reactions to wax or other products used can result in redness, itching, swelling, and even blistering on the skin. It is important to do a patch test before getting a Brazilian wax to avoid any potential allergic reactions!

Tight clothing can also trap sweat and bacteria against the skin, leading to breakouts or infection (H3). By choosing looser garments, you allow air to circulate around the waxed area, promoting faster healing and reducing the risk of complications.
