With a properly done Brazilian Wax you can go as skippy as you like!
Brazilian Wax
As the name suggests, the origins of the waxing procedure is rooted in Brazil. In fact, the women of Brazil are well-known for their tiny bikinis, which ultimately led to this innovation. In 1987 seven sisters came from those southern shores and introduced America to their way of handling pubic hair. Even though it did cause quite a stir among the conventional citizens, television shows like Sex and the City gave it a popular platform. Just like so many other things that were initially received with disdain, Brazilian waxing quickly started to gain a curious audience. Curiosity led to testing and now there are large groups of women who can’t imagine their lives without it.
A Brazilian wax is not like your typical bikini wax. The latter will only focus on removing hair that goes beyond the bikini line, whereas the former is considered a full-house. A true Brazilian wax means removing all pubic hair, including those that can be found on your backside. In other words, from the waist down you’ll be completely hairless. However, you do have the option of keeping just a small strip at the front. This is referred to as a “landing strip” and it’s also quite popular.
The Process
The process isn’t much different from normal waxing. First you have to find a qualified aesthetician and make an appointment. When you arrive for your appointment you’ll be shown to a private room where you’ll be given a chance to undress from the waist down. Remember that this is a 360 degree treatment, so you have to be comfortable while feeling completely exposed. For the most part women are given a small thong to wear, but this is only to soothe the mind.
There are different kinds of wax that can be used, such as soft, melted wax or hard wax, but ultimately it depends on your aesthetician of choice. You’ll be asked to lie down on your back and to relax. This is very important, because if can’t relax then it’s only going to make the experience worse. The waxer will apply the hot wax onto the pubic hair according to the direction it grows and then she will place a cloth strip on the wax directly after. The cloth, the wax and the hair need to bond, which is why she’ll give it some time to cool down. Once the wax is at the right temperature she’ll pull off the strip. When the front is finished you’ll be asked to turn onto your stomach for the rest of the hair to be removed.
It should also be noted that there is requirement before you can get a Brazilian wax. Your pubic hair needs to be long enough for the wax to effectively take hold, which is about a quarter of an inch. If the hair is too short then you’ll have to wait a little while, but if the hair is too long then the waxer will simply trim it down. In terms of the price, expect to pay between $60 and $75 per session at a spa with a good reputation. This price usually includes the tip for the aesthetician.

The Pros
There are two main benefits of getting a Brazilian wax. The first is the fact that you don’t have to worry about wearing any skimpy bikinis or underwear, seeing as there is no risk in unwanted hair popping out. Secondly, you don’t have to worry about pubic hair problems for at least a month. The hair gets pulled out from the root, so it grows back very slowly. There are some other benefits involved, but they speak more to personal opinion. For example, you feel sexier or your partner likes it. Overall it’s just more hygienic.
The Cons
Women who don’t like pain should probably start with less excessive bikini waxing in order to get used to the feeling, because a Brazilian wax is considered somewhat painful. However, there are some things to help with the pain, such as lotions and powder. It’s also a little embarrassing for many women, especially when it’s their first time. In the end the only real con is the pain and maybe the price if you are very money conscious.
The Risks
Unfortunately there are some risks involved, but only if you decide to search for the cheapest aesthetician with no experience. Before you even consider getting a Brazilian wax you should always look at the finer details. For starters, how clean is the spa or salon? Does the waxer use clean gloves? Does she only use a strip once? The reason why you should pay attention is due to the documented cases involving infections. Remember that this is an area of your body with high risk factors and even though it’s not a dangerous process in general, there have been instances where medical attention was needed.
Some Tips
It is recommended that you get a Brazilian wax every 3 to 4 weeks and to keep this habit strong. According to the specialists in the field, doing it on a regular basis will make it less painful. You can be sure that your first time is going to hurt the most, but from there is should become manageable. The second reason is that within those 3 or 4 weeks the pubic hair should be the perfect length for another session.
Final Thoughts
There is some debate on whether Brazilian waxes are going out of style, but this is where it remains, debating. Currently there are thousands of women who swear by it and they probably won’t go back to the basic bikini wax again. It’s considered sexy and it won’t leave you with embarrassing moments on the beach. Overall it’s just a good way to keep your pubic hair in check and you only have to go through it once a month
