The first time you receive a bikini wax
Never fancied hot wax with your lady bits? For the first-timers or plain curious, car headlights goes on behind salon doors…
Bikini Wax - shapes, styles and names COSMOPOLITAN UK When you see it, no sane woman would ever pay big money to have hot wax painted to her nether regions making sure that hair could be ripped from your roots. Yet bikini waxing is a nice standard grooming habit for countless women who routinely book a session on a monthly basis without batting an eyelid. If you are waxing virgin but are actually thinking of having a go, here's the lowdown on just what exactly happens when |
you get over the essential embarrassment of showing your pants into a total stranger.
- Everyone feels a tad self-conscious, specially the first few times. But remember, beauty therapists have witnessed it ALL before and perform bikini waxes daily. Worrying about whether you're too hairy / not hairy enough / have rubbish knickers on is very normal but very unnecessary.

- There are several sets of bikini wax depending on how much tresses are removed and priced accordingly. The are a variety of different bikini wax shapes and styles, nevertheless the classic shape may be the 'Bikini' and involves a straightforward tidy of hair at the cab end and somewhat down below, making sure that it doesn't extend away from knicker line – sufficient to get you bikini-ready (this could be the ideal bikini wax for first-timers).
- Your therapist asks you to take a nap on a salon bed/couch and take your clothes below the waist. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO TAKE YOUR PANTS OFF IF YOU DON'T WANT TO (and a lot of people don't)! They are very skilled at working around your knickers to shield your modesty.

with a right angle, exposing one for reds of your bikini wax line. She will then tuck a tissue into your edge of the pants to guard them through the bikini wax.
- Wearing gloves, the therapist applies melted hot wax onto a compact section of one's hair employing a spatula – it's warm, much less hot. Then a strip of cloth or muslin is applied along with the bikini wax, she presses down for some seconds, props up skin taut and pulls the strip away within a sharp tug. She continues repeating this, each side, until you're all done.
- OK, the therapist WILL be very all-around your butt and MAY need to touch your labia and adjust you every now and then to get your skin layer taut. Weird but necessary.
- Just how painful can it be? Everyone has different pain thresholds but we will never kid you it's painless (as much salons claim). Normally it provides a sharp intake of breath but it really definitely gets easier greater you have it done.
- In some areas you'll hardly flinch; other spots result in a tad of involuntary swearing (the top landing strip always seems a little ouchy) - but no matter what it's over in about TWO SECONDS. In our experience, the most beneficial therapists work with small sections and press down around the skin right after pulling off of the wax strip to dull the pain sensation – so ask your therapist to be effective this way. Popping an ibuprofen sixty minutes beforehand will also help.
- The therapist finishes by checking her handiwork and removing any remaining stray hairs with tweezers. Annoying but important.
- Finally, a soothing cream is applied around. This bit feels great. She'll leave the space to let you decide what to wear.
- A dose of redness is usual afterwards for some hours. BRAVO! You are now hair-free and low-maintenance for approximately 3-4 weeks before you are ready for your next session.
