Kinds
There are several types of waxing in the deep bikini area:
- Hot. It is used in professional salons to remove hard-to-reach, short or thin hairs.It has found wide distribution for working with the bikini area, and is used exclusively by professionals, because it has a high heating temperature (up to 60 degrees) and is quite traumatic for the home. Its plastic texture takes the contours of the body and captures the hairs, after which it rolls directly on the skin with the help of fingers and abruptly breaks away from it. By its appearance and principle of action, hot wax resembles sugar.
- Warm. It is used by professional and home crafters and requires the additional use of paper strips - they are superimposed on warm wax and removed with a jerk along with it. Warm wax is ideal for removing hair from large areas of the body - arms, lower legs and thighs, back and chest (for men), pubis. It is solid and cassette. In any case, each of them requires preheating in a water bath.
- Cold. Well-known representatives are wax strips, which can be purchased at almost any store. Women often choose them for home hair removal procedures, but the effectiveness of such a product is low.
- Film. Heats up to a comfortable body temperature (34-36 degrees) and does not require the use of strips. It is ideal for depilation in the bikini area because it lies evenly on the skin and takes on the curves of the body, reduces pain sensitivity during the procedure. The classic Brazilian bikini is the complete removal of hair from the intimate area, including the pubis, labia and the space between the buttocks.
Hot wax is the ideal solution for the procedure, as it allows you to remove hairs in hard-to-reach and most sensitive areas.

How to choose?
For home use, choose "homemade" waxes, warm or hot in a small amount, especially if the procedure is for the first time and you are not sure if you would like to repeat it again.
Leave huge professional jars with the inscription "hot wax" for beauty salons or choose, provided that you are no longer a beginner in home hair removal. As a rule, such products require a special wax melter (an installation for heating the wax and maintaining its temperature) and have too much volume, moreover, they often cost more than their “homemade” counterparts.
It is impossible to answer which wax is better to choose (if we talk about the manufacturer). If you are a beginner, for the first time, do not take too expensive and professional composition, but focus on the manufacturer and the product that allows you to carry out the procedure at home.
If we talk about the type of wax itself, then here we can already give recommendations:
- For the intimate area the ideal choice would be hot wax, which is used in its pure form without the use of strips and pieces of paper. It has a plastic consistency and is applied to the skin, after hardening it is massaged with fingers for 2-3 seconds and comes off against hair growth. Hot wax resembles sugar (sugaring), but it can be dangerous to use it at home (for a special inexperienced girl) - the high temperature of the composition requires careful handling to avoid burns.
- film wax - an excellent choice for "deep" home hair removal.It is heated to a comfortable body temperature of 34-36 degrees and evenly distributed over the skin, taking the curves of the body. Film wax is suitable for home hair removal, because it captures the hairs evenly and causes less pain than, for example, its hot counterpart;
- warm wax also has the right to take part in the removal of unwanted hair, but it will be more difficult to do this in the area between the buttocks.
Hair removal tips at home
We present to your attention a small master class, following which you can independently hang a deep bikini hair removal at home.
- Clean your skin first in the intimate area with mild soap or a damp cloth and dry with a towel (or naturally until the skin and hairs are completely dry);
- Melt the wax in a water bathif it is liquid, or warm up the cartridge to a comfortable temperature (approximately 30 degrees). In any case, first apply a little wax on your hand to assess its temperature - it should be comfortable and not burn the skin;
- With a wooden spatula apply a little melted wax on dry skin and hairs in their growth and place a strip of cloth on top;
- When it freezes (you will not have to wait long - 4-5 seconds), abruptly tear off the strip against hair growth and press on the skin with your fingers - this will dull the pain;
- Take small lots and apply a little wax on them, this will make the procedure less painful;
- Epilate yourself may seem difficult, especially on the labia majora with particular sensitivity and the intergluteal region.
The technique is not complicated, but you should have the courage to carry out the procedure yourself and dare to sharply remove strips of tissue. It is the jerk that is important - it will allow you to remove the hairs with the root or bulb, which will provide a long-term effect. A visual video tutorial and schemes for applying wax to the skin, which were developed by professional masters, will help you master the correct waxing technique.
How much does it hurt?
Painful sensations depend on individual sensitivity: for some women, the waxing procedure is a real test, for others - a 30-minute displeasure that can simply be endured. To reduce sensitivity and pain, the masters recommend coming to the session after the onset of critical days or additionally using anesthetic creams, gels, however, the wax hair removal procedure is not so painful.
How to apply?
Pre-melted wax is applied with a spatula on a clean, dry skin surface along the hair growth.
How much to keep?
The wax is held until it hardens - usually it takes 3-5 seconds. If warm wax with strips is used, then the latter are applied immediately to the applied wax, if hot, then the master (or you) waits up to 5 seconds until the wax cools down a bit and starts massaging it with his fingers to better capture the hairs, after which he abruptly tears off.
Is it long enough?
After waxing, hair does not grow back for about 2 weeks. (average, which depends on individual parameters and on how many times the procedures were performed). If you are doing depilation for the first time, the bikini area will be smooth for about 2 weeks, if the procedure is repeated or you do it for about a couple of months, then the effect lasts up to 3 weeks.
How often it is necessary to carry out depilation is a common question for girls. Masters recommend doing the procedure every time you want to tidy up the intimate area and put off a sharp razor for this time.
For example, you did wax depilation for the first time, the next time you need to repeat it when the hairs grow back by 6-7 mm.
Skin care before and after
Before the procedure, the masters recommend doing a light home peeling of the skin.to lift short and fine hairs. There are no other recommendations for preparation.
After depilation, the master applies a cream or gel to the skin to prevent ingrown hairs, it additionally soothes the irritated epidermis. It is recommended to use this composition after the procedure several times a week in order to reduce the risk of ingrown hairs. Or replace the professional cream with the usual scrub and use it on the skin 2-3 times a week while taking a shower.
Immediately after depilation, it is not recommended to wear underwear (especially synthetic) and not to use detergents - gels, soaps (including plain water). Go to bed without underwear in loose cotton trousers or shorts, the next day you can continue to lead a normal life and forget about the procedure.
The optimal hair length for epilation is 6-7 mm, the maximum is about 12. Approximately 2 weeks (+/- several days) should elapse from the last shave.
How to prevent irritation?
Irritation is the main enemy of any girl or woman after hair removal in the deep bikini area and it doesn’t matter if the procedure was carried out with wax, sugar, a classic epilator and even a razor. The sensitive area in the intimate area makes itself felt every time after hair removal.It is almost impossible to prevent irritation, since this is a normal skin reaction. It's like stress in its purest form, but you can (and absolutely must) soothe the irritated epidermis with a light moisturizer or gel.
The master usually applies a cream after each depilation procedure, which relieves irritation and prevents ingrown hairs. A cooling silicone pad or anesthetic gel will help to make the process less painful and lower the pain threshold. By the way, some clients note that such measures help prevent irritation (again, this is all individual).
Can pregnant women do this procedure?
Can!
- Often during pregnancy hair (in all places) begins to grow especially intensively, and daily use of a razor (and especially twice a day) severely injures the skin and causes irritation;
- Pregnant women usually sweat more, therefore, hair removal becomes a vital necessity in order to avoid the appearance of an unpleasant odor and itching;
- During an "interesting" situation a woman should not forget about herself and her husband, who wants to see an attractive and well-groomed woman nearby.
There are several “BUTs” that girls talk about every now and then:
- During pregnancy the sensitivity of the skin (and women in general) increases - this is due to changes in hormonal levels. And more than anything in the world, women are afraid of the terrible pain that will certainly find them in the office of a beautician or a depilation specialist. Do not be afraid of this pain - it is temporary;
- Women are afraid to "catch" the infection - the most compelling reason for not waxing in favor of a razor.It is important to carry out the procedure in the salon with a professional master (it’s good if he has a medical education) and in clean, almost sterile conditions, not only during pregnancy, but in any case. You can catch an infection from an unscrupulous master, so first evaluate the cabinet at least from photos and reviews, and upon arrival, make sure that the cabinet and tools are clean and certified.
There is only one answer - during pregnancy, it is definitely possible to carry out a deep bikini wax depilation procedure, regardless of the period. It is important to tune in to the procedure and entrust it to an experienced master with ideal conditions - a clean office and disposable sterile accessories.
