Bikini waxing

From Susan's Place Transgender Wiki

Bikini waxing is a type of hair removal in the pubic region. A bikini wax involves the removal of pubic hair adjacent to the panty line (or "bikini") area. This is a fairly common procedure throughout North America more so for women but men get it done as well.

The procedure is similar to that for the more extreme Brazilian wax. Unlike the Brazilian wax, a bikini wax can be performed privately in the home, but it is generally more convenient to have a licensed cosmetologist or esthetician perform the procedure. Like other forms of waxing, the area from which hair is to be removed is spread with hot wax. Cotton strips are placed on the waxed area and then ripped off. This procedure removes the wax, hair, and any dead skin cells lying on the skin surface.

There are no to ways about it, bikini waxing hurts, and is about as much fun as a poke in the eye with a sharp stick. But the results are worth every twinge of pain as each hair is pulled out. You are left silky smooth and it looks wonderful. Continual waxing of the area will damage the hair follicles and the hair regrowth will be finer, and finer. Eventually the pain will diminish along with hair regrowth.
