Brazilian Wax: Hair Removal For People Who Can Tolerate Pain

Brazilian waxing is rapidly gaining acceptance as an effective and long-lasting method to remove undesired pubic hair on the vagina, anus, pubic area and perineum. Even though it generates the most amount of pain compared to other pubic hair removal techniques, many women still swear by Brazilian waxing because the effect lasts for close to a month. A reasonable 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 great for first-timers to get a feel of the waxing process without going through the full waxing process . There are a few styles of Brazilian waxing. You could choose to have all your pubic hair removed or leave a tiny portion of pubic hair in whatever shape you want but usually a "landing strip" design is the standard.

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 expose your genitalia to a stranger if that troubles 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 disadvantage is you can't really see areas like your anus and perineum from your point of view. 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 process should take about thirty minutes depending on what pubic hair style you want and how much hair you want removed. The more difficult the process, the more it would cost you. Be prepared to fork out anything from $25 to over $100 for a Brazilian waxing session.

What is Brazilian Waxing Like?

At a waxing studio, you will be expected to strip off your %pants and briefs and lie down on a waxing table. Some studios use a numbing spray on your pubic region to reduce the pain during waxing. If you have long pubic hair, your pubic hair stylist will have to shorten it before applying the wax. Next, a coat of sticky honey-like liquid 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 effortlessly. Once the wax has dried, your stylist will pull it off with one strong tug.

More often than not, the first attempt will not remove all of the hair. Your stylist may have to redo the waxing process or pluck out the remaining pubic hair with tweezers. After 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 purchase ingrown pubic hair creams to try to prevent ingrown hairs or treat them when they develop.
