Difference Between a Brazilian & Bikini Wax? Posted: 06-14-07 13:38pm
Hi. What's the difference between the
brazilian and the bikini wax?
I gave myself a waxing at home about 2
months ago, and this time I'd like to go
to a salon. Hopefully it'll hurt less!
I would like to get it all waxed off in
the front. But, I don't want the bum area
done. Do I book an appt. for a brazilian
or a bikini wax?
Thank you!

A Brazilian bikini wax removes hair from
the entire pubic region and the area by
your buttocks. The waxer leaves a small,
optional patch of hair above the vaginal
area.
A bikini wax, I think, just removes the
hair just outside your vaginal region. I
read that you can ask for a full bikini
wax, which would remove most of the hair
on your vaginal region. That sounds like a
good option for you. Once you find a salon
you like, .I would call them up and ask
what they offer and how they can
accommodate you.

I agree. I suggest just telling them
exactly what you want, even if you don't
know their term for it, that way there's
no confusion! I am sure you would not be
the first person to just describe what you
want.

Waxing really isn't that painful... I
personally like how my skin tingles after
the strips are ripped off. I don't know.
Maybe I'm slightly masochistic

When you shave, it will grow back within a
day, you'll already feel stubble. When you
wax, you shouldn't feel stubble for two
weeks, so it sounds like your experience
was typical.

Thanks everyone. I called the place and
they said that what I want is called a
"L.A" wax. I'm nervous now, but I'm sure
it'll hurt less than when I did it myself.
It also helps that I booked a back massage
for right after, it will be something to
look forward to, haha.

I would say just go for it. The waxing was
very painful when I did it at home myself,
but that was because the wax wouldn't rip
off all at once, it would only come off in
tiny bits. And I didn't pull it off in the
right direction. I had no idea what I was
doing!
I'm sure at a salon it'll be a quick sharp
pain but after a few minutes it'll be
okay. I just don't like the idea of a
stranger down there, but I'm sure they do
alot of waxing, and they've probably seen
as much as a gyno.
