Waxing Strip Strips

Bikini Waxing Spa

A bikini waxing spa performs the services of removing the hair that would otherwise show around your bikini lines.  The technical term for the procedure is pubic depilation.  While bikini waxing is mainly preferred by women, there are males that have it done as well.  Chemical depilatory creams, sugaring and shaving are other methods commonly used for pubic hair removal, but bikini waxing provides a more enduring solution.

Removal of pubic hair, especially on the female body, has been associated with proper hygiene for thousands of years.  Ancient Indian women were practicing pubic depilation as far back as 4000 BC.  In western societies, women began the practice when bathing suits and lingerie styles became more risqué, necessitating hair removal.

There are different categories, or styles, of bikini waxing and their names may change depending upon the geographical region or individual bikini waxing spa that you may be visiting.  They are as follows:

American Waxing: This is a technique that removes the hair above the thighs and underneath the belly button.  This is known as a basic bikini waxing procedure. French Waxing: Better known as a "landing strip",  French waxing removes all hair from the pubic region except for a 1 to 2 inch strip vertically beginning directly above the vulva.  Hair is removed from the labia and perineum region.  For this reason, a French waxing is sometimes referred to as a partial Brazilian waxing.  Other names include a Playboy waxing and a G waxing.
Brazilian Waxing: This type of bikini waxing removes all hair from the pubic region from the back to the front.  This includes complete hair removal from the buttocks, perineum, mons pubis, labia majora and around the anus.  Total Brazilian waxes are also called a Hollywood waxes, a Sphinx or simply a full bikini wax.
How are bikini waxing procedures performed?

A warm solution of wax is applied on areas of hair to be removed.  Although many synthetic waxes exist, coarse pubic hairs are thought to be best removed by beeswax.  The wax is then covered with little strips of cloth.  After the wax cures, the cloth strips are yanked quickly upwards pulling pubic hairs out by their roots.  The process is not without pain.  Most women report at least moderate degrees of discomfort.  This initially intense discomfort rarely lasts more than a couple of minutes with residual, lesser discomfort lasting up to five days.  Especially with more extreme waxing procedures such as the Brazilian, proper techniques must be assured.  Otherwise, infection can result.  Also, bikini waxing procedures are not recommended for those with weak immune systems.

Who are the best candidates for the services of a bikini waxing spa?

In general, anybody, male or female, that desires to have any or all of their pubic hair removed is a candidate for bikini waxing.  As stated above, it is recommended that the individual possesses a healthy immune system.  Also, individuals undergoing bikini waxing procedures need to be prepared for some degree of discomfort.

What are the benefits of bikini waxing?
Enhanced personal hygiene;
A more youthful looking pubic region;
Long-lasting results;
No need for shaving;
The ability to wear a wider variety of swimsuits and lingerie.

Are there any risks associated with bikini waxing spa services?

Because the bodily areas that are treated during bikini waxing procedures are some of the most sensitive on the entire body, considerable care must be given during pubic depilation treatments in order to avoid irritation.  With regular waxing performed, hair becomes weaker and begins to grow back at a slower pace.  This of course decreases the need to wax as frequently.  In general, a bikini waxing will effectively last for between two and three weeks.  Those getting a bikini waxing for the first time may wish to cut their pubic hair away as much as possible with scissors first. (Be careful!) If performed improperly, bikini waxing procedures may result in:
Irritation;
Infection;
Pain;
In-grown hairs;
Bumps;
Allergic reactions to the wax;
Folliculitis which is an infection of the hair follicles;
Abscesses of the hair follicles;

The Bottom Line:

Services offered to you by a bikini waxing spa can provide the benefits associated with a more youthful, erotic-looking pubic region.  It's also nice to not have to repetitively shave.  However, make sure that the bikini waxing services you receive are performed by a professional in a clean environment.  Be prepared for some discomfort if not outright pain.  If you are considering bikini waxing services, the best thing to do is to start out with a small region, a basic bikini waxing, and then determine if you would like to expand the boundaries of the waxing procedure.
