Brazilian Bikini Wax
A Brazilian bikini wax removes the hair from the entire pubic
region, except for a small patch just above the vaginal area. Many
women request a Brazilian because it gives a clean, close wax and the
freedom to wear even the most revealing swimwear and lingerie.
Expect
to be waxed to the max if you visit a salon for a Brazilian treatment.
A paper thong might be provided, but most likely, you'll be in the
buff. First the hair is snipped with scissors so the wax can reach the
follicles. Then, using a wooden stick, a technician places warm wax on
the area a little bit at a time. As with a regular bikini wax, cloth
strips are placed over the hot wax and, after it hardens, pulled away
from the skin. A traditional Brazilian includes the labia and the area
that reaches into the buttocks. If there are stray hairs after waxing,
the technician may also tweeze the area. The key to allowing wax to
penetrate into the follicles (and provide the closest possible wax) is
to relax. And many women claim the treatment is not nearly as painful
as it sounds.
Isn't hair in the pubic area there
for a reason? Doctors say that though humans once needed protection
against the elements, there's no real clinical need for pubic hair in
this day and age -- clothing certainly provides ample protection and
warmth. Some even claim it's more hygienic to have the hair removed so
it doesn't absorb sweat.
