Brazilian waxing is swiftly gaining popularity as an effective and long-lasting way to get rid of undesired pubic hair on the pubic area,Brazilian Wax: Hair Removal That Lasts Up To A Month Articles anus, perineum and vagina. Even though it creates 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 reasonable sacrifice for long term pleasure in exchange for short term pain.

Brazilian Waxing = Bikini Waxing?

Most people 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 through the full waxing process . There are a few types of Brazilian waxing. You could choose to have all your pubic hair removed or leave a little part of pubic hair in any 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 decent 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 angle. It would be a real headache for you to wax these areas 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 style you desire and how much hair you want removed. The more complicated the procedure, the more it would cost you. 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 expected to pull off your %pants and underwear 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 shorten it before applying the wax. Next, a coat of tacky 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 conveniently. 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 100% of the hair. Your stylist may have to redo 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 soreness. There is no assurance that you will not develop ingrown pubic hair when your hair starts to grow. Therefore, it is recommended that you get ingrown pubic hair creams to try to prevent ingrown hairs or treat them when they develop.
