Bikini Wax Tips

Contrary to what the name suggests, a Full Bikini Wax is actually not a complete removal of hair down there.  Instead, it involves removing all the hair around pubic area, except those directly in the Mound of Venus, also known as the mons pubis.

Why leave hair in?  For most folks, it’s because that part of the skin is considerably more sensitive than the rest of the pubic area.  Waxing it can mean too much pain, particularly for some people who are more sensitive to the sensation.

If you’re not familiar with the pubic mound, it’s that part of your crotch area the consists largely of fatty tissues, right above the pubic bone.  It forms the front of the actual vulva.  Yep, it’s that area that shows up bulging during “camel toe” shots.

In case you opt for this a Full Bikini Wax due to extra sensitivity of your pubic mound, do note that you can still trim the hair in that area.  Most women I know who are afraid to get waxed there, choose to either shave or cut down the hair there instead.  After all, it’s the hair there that usually catches female excretions, so a close trim helps makes sure that it stays clean.

1. Experience.  Experience, when it comes to something as intimate and potentially painful as a bikini wax, counts a lot.  Like every other skill, well-worn hands can typically manage the waxing better, apart from being more sensitive to specific client needs (because they’ve likely encountered similar situations).

2. Less pain.  Trained aestheticians will generally know how to best scrape off hair with the least amount of pain.  Note that we’re not saying there won’t be pain - just that it can be better controlled.

3. Safety.  Some clients just aren’t meant to be doing bikini waxes (and should probably just shave instead).  Licensed professionals should know better whether you’re a good candidate for one.  Pubic hair, as unsightly as it may seem, is there for a reason - usually to protect your skin.  Waxing it off can strip away that top layer of protection (albeit temporarily).  For individuals who are prone to infection (such as diabetics), a waxing may not be the best idea in the world.

Not sure if it’s just my skin type but hard wax is really ideal for me when getting my bikini wax done. I’ve tried several salons over the years and only one of them offered the hard wax. Guess where I’ve been having my sessions since?

I really recommend you try it. Look for a spa that uses hard wax instead of soft wax and fabric strips. Hard wax dries to a hard finish around the hair and not the skin. As a result, they can scrape it right off with little pulling and yanking. Way less pain, promise! You end up with much less redness, irritation and bumps too. Even better, you can walk like normal right after. LOL!
