Brazilian Wax

If you thought pubic hair removal was invented in the modern age, imposed on women by men, you were wrong. A long time ago, Egyptian women removed hair from their bodies and did not stop at their legs of arm pits. Even today, women in the Middle East believe hair removal is a part of everyday hygiene. They start at an early age, therefore it becomes a routine for them.

In most societies, leg and bikini waxes are common, more or less, while most women still fear the so called Brazilian wax. Two most common reasons for this are fear of pain and discomfort as a stranger is “fiddling” with your private parts. As far as the pain goes, the same rule is applied as for leg waxing – it really hurts the first time, but you get used to it and it becomes a regular beauty treatment. To women who are ashamed, we can say it`s like going to the gynaecologist’s – you haven`t got anything the beautician hasn't seen before. Of course, there are people who believe they simply do not need a bikini wax as it does not satisfy their needs. Anyway, this sort of a treatment is something to undergo exclusively if you want it. Reasons such as, it will make me more desirable to men and my friend talked me into it are not the real reasons. We have to point out that a Brazilian wax is not reserved for women only, some men have it too. Yes, those who act in porn films, cynics will say.

What is a Brazilian wax?

“Take it all the way” gets a new meaning when we discuss Brazilian waxing. A Brazilian wax is a hair style for the intimate area, i.e. hair removal from that area with wax and strips. The wax is usually applied with a spatula and taken off with a fast jerk, against the direction of hair growth. With most types of this hair removal method, a small line of pubic hair is left and if absolutely all hair is removed, the term full Brazilian wax is used. Modern practise has reached us all the way from, you guessed it, Brazil. Interestingly enough they have no special term for it in Brazil, they simply call it a wax.
