Brazilian waxing is rapidly gaining popularity as an effective and long-lasting way to remove unwanted pubic hair on the pubic area, anus, vagina and perineum. Although it generates the greatest amount of pain compared to other pubic hair removal techniques, many women still swear by Brazilian waxing because the pubic hair stays gone for up to a month. A justifiable trade for long term pleasure in exchange for short term pain.

Where Can I Get A Bikini Wax?

What is Brazilian Waxing Like?

At a waxing studio, you will be expected to pull off your %pants and undies 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 gooey 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 easily. Once the wax has dried, your stylist will pull it off with one strong yank.

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. 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 buy ingrown pubic hair creams to try to prevent ingrown hairs or treat them when they develop.
