Preparing for Your Bikini Wax
What to wear to a bikini wax? Wear loose, comfortable clothing. Avoid tight jeans, leggings, or restrictive clothing that may irritate freshly waxed skin. Opt for breathable fabrics to minimize discomfort and allow skin to breathe. Waxing requires full access to the bikini area.
On the day of your bikini wax, wear cotton underwear. While not the sexiest, cotton is less irritating and more breathable than other fabrics.
Types of Bikini Waxes
- Basic bikini wax: Removes hair from the bikini line.
- Full bikini wax: Includes everything in a basic bikini line wax, plus hair removal on the front of the pubic bone. You can leave a strip, triangle, or square of hair.
- Brazilian wax: Removes all hair from the bikini area (top, sides, front) and hard-to-reach back areas. You can opt to leave a landing strip or triangle.
Waxing Over Shaving
Waxing removes hair from below the skin’s surface, so regrowth happens less often than shaving. Waxing lasts a few weeks, while shaving only a few days. Waxing may be preferable if you dislike frequent hair removal.
