Bikini waxing is a form of depilation that temporarily removes unwanted hair in the pubic region.
It gets its name because it removes hair that would otherwise be visible while wearing a bikini.
While a bikini wax can be done at home with a home waxing kit, given the sensitive nature of the area being treated, you might opt to have a professional do the waxing for you in a clinic, spa, etc.
Also, like other forms of waxing it can be painful and since waxing is not a permanent form of hair removal, the hair will grow back again.
What about a Brazilian wax? What does it entail?
A Brazilian wax involves removing most (if not all) pubic hair rather than just the hair that would be visible while wearing a bikini. Brazilian waxing services are usually offered at salons and other businesses that offer professional waxing services.
As with other waxing services, you obviously want to ensure you use a professional who has significant experience and who knows what they are doing.
Given the sensitive area being treated, many women don't find it comfortable and it can be painful.
If you know someone who has had bikini waxing or Brazilian waxing done, you might ask them about their experience to get a better sense of what it entails.
