The bikini line should never be ignored. I have pretty strong opinions about the subject and being nicely groomed down there is the way to go as far as I am concerned. I am a firm believer in waxing- not shaving the bikini line. Shaving in between is fine from time to time, but waxing will leave you looking great for weeks. It may feel strange at first having a stranger handle your genital area, but keep in mind she is dealing with vaginas all day long and has seen it all. So don’t feel too self-conscious it will all be over in a matter of minutes. She will apply baby power, wax, and in the end lotion and leave you feeling beautiful.

 How far you go with the waxing is really up to your taste or partners preference. If you love the au natural look so be it… if not there are other options:

The basic bikini wax involves removing excess hair from the sides and shaping what remains into a neat little triangle. It’s the least painful and least invasive way to go if you’re the shy type.

The Brazilian removes everything from front and back and in between except for a little landing strip of hair on top. It might be a little embarrassing to talk about the “back” but I still come across girls who don’t know what to expect when getting waxed. If you order a Brazilian wax the aesthetician will free the entire perianal area of hair… you can thank her later by tipping her.

Feeling creative? You can ask to have your pubic hair shaped into anything that makes you happy. A heart for Valentines day maybe? Or your special someone’s initials. Tacky? Sexy? You decide.

My tricks and tips:

·          I always wear a skirt when I go to my appointments because after being waxed the skin is extra sensitive and rubbing against clothing can irritate the skin. Going commando is key  ;-)    Just be careful not to flash your Britney to strangers.

·          I swear by Nad’s Ingrow Solution I will not use anything else. This stuff is amazing!

·          Buy a pair of loofah gloves and gently exfoliate daily using soap. The gloves will help with getting rid of any dead skin cells and this way you avoid ingrown hairs.

·          Baby powder is great for the first few days after getting waxed. It keeps baby skin silky soft and it will do the same for you!

·        And always make sure the waxing area is clean and that any wooden spatulas used to spread wax on your body are brand new. If you are not sure, do not hesitate to ask, you are paying for the service!
