A Brazilian wax involves the removal of all hair in the pubic area - front, back and in between - sometimes leaving a thin strip, or "runway". The decision to go bare "down there" has virtually become de rigeur - whether you're planning a beach getaway, intimate date, or simply believe it promotes better hygiene.
The best thing is how incredibly "clean" a Brazilian wax feels. No shave is as smooth and results typically last up to three weeks. With little maintenance required, a Brazilian wax is hassle-free grooming. Your smooth, bump-free bikini area will look fabulous - whether in a bathing suit or au naturale - and your pubic hair will grow back finer and lighter.
A Brazilian wax not only looks and feels great, it can also boost your sex life. You'll be happy. Your partner will be happy. It'll be a smooth experience!
Pre-wax tips
1: Your skin is most sensitive just before and after menstruation, so avoid waxing during this time.
2: Enjoy a light shower or use a moistened disposable wipe prior to your session. High-end salons such as Visage usually offer a private shower area for your use.
3: The wax needs to grip onto something, so ensure your pubic hair is a quarter-inch long if it's fine or a half-inch if it's coarse. Any shorter and you won't get a good result.
4: If you're concerned about pain, numbing cream can dull sensation by up to 50 percent. If you choose to wax regularly pain will reduce over time.
