A Little Piece On The Bikini  

Women have a wide range of swimwear to choose from. There are various forms to make you feel comfortable with your body, yet look great. The bikini is one of the best selling pieces of swimwear. Wearing a bikini can make you feel sexy and beautiful as you relax and enjoy the warm sun and the water. It continues to be one of the most sought after pieces of clothing for women.

The bikini has changed tremendously over time. One and two piece swimwear was once called a bikini. They were offered in more colors than other swimwear. However, they were one basic design. If the bikini fit you well, great. You were ready to go. The reality for most women though was it did not fit their body shape. They often felt disappointed and self conscious upon making such a discovery. Today, the bikini comes in many forms and colors to meet the fashion demands of women everywhere.

The smallest bikini is called the string bikini. It is a great asset for the perfect figured women. It lives up to its name, as it is very tiny. It barely covers up the essentials of the bust and crotch areas. The strings that hold the item on are often decorated with stones or pearls. While this bikini is very sexy, it is also very daring to wear. It is not one you often see wore out in public very often.

Today, most bikinis are sold in separate pieces. This was a very innovative idea by manufacturers of the bikini. Sales almost doubled because it makes finding the one to fit your body easier. You can mix and match the style of top and bottom you want. The recent bikini fashion is all style. The line is designed to give your body a great look. Too often women would find that the top or the bottom of a particular design fit well, but not both pieces that had to be purchased together as a set.

Finding a great bikini does not have to break the bank. You will find the bikinis starting at about fourteen dollars. The line comes in a huge collection of hot colors including bright red, royal blue, and baby pink and traditional black. If you are ready to soak up the sun, play in the water, and then start looking for the perfect bikini to spend the day in. With so many colors and styles available, it should be a fun experience finding what looks good on you!

Getting Rid of Bikini Hair - Why Waxing Is King  

I have asked several of my male friends whether they would wax their bikini lines if society decided that men looked better that way (I admit, I've also enjoyed describing what a wax would be like to these guys, just for the joy of seeing them turn several shades of sickly green). The answer has always been a positive no. One friend went so far as to say that he would not get waxed "there" even if someone held a gun to their head. Well, many women head to the salon for a bikini wax with no gun-toting maniac in tow and many even chat pleasantly with their aestheticians while the deed is done. The reason is that women want the smooth and clean look that waxing gives. In fact, in my opinion, waxing is one of the very best options out there for pubic hair.

The process of waxing a bikini line is pretty simple. Hot wax is applied over the bikini area and a strip of cloth is pressed into the wax. The skin around the strip is pulled as tight as possible, and after a moment, the strip is pulled rapidly off. Hair, wax, and even bits of skin come off with the strip, leaving smooth skin. In some cases, women opt for cold wax, where strips of cloth come with wax already attached. The strips are pressed onto the skin and pulled off - much like a bandage.

Many women are fine with waxing their bikini line at home. If you go this route, remember to pull the strips off fast - hesitating and jerking the strip off will hurt even more and may damage the skin. You will need to use a mirror to ensure that you have a clean, even line. Apply powder to the area afterwards and give yourself a well-deserved rest.

For many women, going to a salon makes a lot of sense for a bikini wax. Professionals can get at spots that are difficult to get at. They can also see you better, so they can tell where little bits of hair are sticking out. At most salons, aestheticians will pluck hairs that are too small to wax (anything under 1/4 inch) and will pluck the wiry hairs that are too tough to wax. It is awkward to go in for a bikini wax, since you are generally there in just your underwear and shirt, but it is the only way to get a perfect bikini wax.

There are several advantages to waxing your bikini line. First, the results last a long time - several weeks, in fact. The actual process takes less time than shaving and produces a much smoother effect. Since wax is made up of fairly simple ingredients (oil, paraffin wax and rosin, usually), there is little chance of chemical or allergic reactions. Some women may take comfort in knowing that both the wax and strips used in waxing are non-toxic and not very harmful to the environment.

That said, the ugly side of bikini waxing is pretty ugly indeed. The bikini line is a tender area and waxing here hurts a great deal. The further inwards you get from the thigh, the more pain there will be. For the least painful bikini wax, get only the hairs outside your underwear done. A badly done bikini wax can be disastrous, leaving skin damage, burns, and even leading to infection. Even a well-done bikini wax may cause skin cracks, bleeding, bumps, itchiness, swelling, and redness. You need to make sure that you go to a clean, reputable salon. If you wax at home, make sure the area in which you will wax is clean. After waxing, use only powder to deal with stickiness for the first few hours, and then keep your skin very clean to prevent infection and irritation.

Still, done properly, a bikini wax gives you worry-free smoothness for weeks.

Brazilian Bikini Waxing Virgins - What You Should Know  

You probably heard about the Brazilian Bikini Waxing on some TV show like 'Sex in the City' or Oprah perhaps you have read about it in some magazine and sparked curiosity in getting one done but yo'u'e not sure if it is right for you. Well for some going Brazilian has become a natural part of their monthly routine while for others it is a thought they are battling in their heads. If you are in either situation, here are some tips, which will aid you in your decision and keep you going in your hygiene and look.

First and foremost, what is a Brazilian Bikini Wax? As mentioned in my other article "Brazilian Bikini Wax- Hear the real story" a Brazilian Bikini Wax is the hair removal of pubic region using hot wax. A Brazilian Bikini Wax has become known in the USA as the full removal of pubic hair and not only the bikini line. Please keep in mind that you do not have to remove all pubic hair and that there are several different looks one can get you must decide which one is right for you.

Will it hurt? absolutely but the pain does lesson with time, for more info on the pain factor- read my next article "Tips on Lessoning the Bikini Wax PAIN". Will it be uncomfortable? Absolutely; it is similar to going to your gynecologist. You go into a room and they say take your clothes off and you lay in an uncomfortable position, but all of this will change once you become familiar with the procedure and place. Here are some important steps for you first timers.

1- Find a waxing salon that is experienced in Bikini Waxing. The best places are the ones friends recommend. Word of mouth is best option so you can get a feel of the place, it's staff, and price. As a native Brazilian, I recommend Brazilian Waxoligists.

2- Prepare your self mentally. You need to first think about the reasons behind your decision. Is it to please a mate, to please your self of it can be for plain hygiene. Most women who get one done on a routine basis start out with reasons #1 and #2 but lean towards the #3 later. It gives them a clean fresh feel and look. It is like that feeling of getting your car cleaned or your hair done, just got do it. Also preparing your self mentally for the pain is important. It is not like getting a tattoo but there is some pain involved. The most vital thing is to relax and let the expert do her job.

3- Prepare your self physically. Plan your appointment wisely, on a day where you are not crazy busy and have time to preferably shower, arrive early and ask any questions you might have. Some people like to take Motrin or Advil before their appointment to ease the pain

4- Prepare your self financially. A good Brazilian Waxing place will charge from $40-$60 for a full Bikini. If it is too cheap, I would be skeptical, I would not think I found a great deal but would be concerned that if they do authentic Brazilian Waxing.

Still thinking if it is right for you? All experiences are not the same, so you will not know until you try it but now you have a better understanding of the process and price. Once you go through it you will know if it is something you will do again. Some say they will not but find them selves coming back for more it makes them feel great about them selves while others can not see themselves with out it. Let us face it, it is really about you, your needs and wants. You can share your stories on my blog: http://brazilianbikiniwaxing.blogspot.com.

Bikini Waxing - What's Hot?  

Bikini waxing is a means of shaving the pubic area that has grown in popularity in the past few years. In fact, not only women shave their pubic hair, there has also been an increase in the number of male pubic shaving customers in most hair removal salons. It is usually men using bikini style swim bottoms who head for pubic shaving.

Though bikini waxing is helpful in making you look more sensuous and attractive, you should not get a bikini wax if you suffer from psoriasis or any skin condition, if you are a diabetic of if you are under Retinol or Acutance medication. It is in fact better to ask your physician before going for a bikini wax. It is also not advisable to get a bikini wax if you are menstruating or pregnant as the pain associated with a bikini wax is increased because of increased sensitivity to the pubic area.

As a bikini wax can be painful, you could consider taking ibuprofen or aspirin an hour before waxing to reduce the pain. It is better not to do a bikini wax on your own; have it done by a professional as this reduces pain. If the pubic hair is too long, it has to be trimmed to about ¼ or ½ inch. Don’t swim or sunbathe for 24 hours before the wax and a few days after waxing.

After waxing, if there is some redness or bumping, apply ice to the region for relief. If there is some ingrown hair, ice it and then add anti-bacterial cream to prevent an infection. If you feel uncomfortable not wearing underwear during waxing, you could choose a skimpy pair like a thong and have the aesthetician work around the underwear. You will have to lift your underwear if the waxer needs to wax a covered area.

How to remove pubic hair permanently  

Pubic hair removal can be permanent with the help of laser treatments. Could this be for you?Laser pubic hair removalSome women find that temporary pubic hair removal locks them into a never-ending cycle of ingrown hairs and itching and... they decide to go for permanent hair removal instead. Laser hair removal is a method of permanent hair removal that has greatly improved since it first received FDA approval in 1998.

How to remove pubic hair with a laserPut simply, a pulsating beam of light is passed directly through the skin. Hair follicles, which are usually darker than the surrounding skin, absorb most of the beam and eventually die. To permanently remove pubic hair from the bikini line usually takes around four sessions.

Is it for me?Laser hair treatments work best on dark hair combined with light skin. Basically, darker areas absorb more of the laser beam than lighter areas. If skin and hair follicles are the same color or the skin is dark, the skin will absorb too much light, which could cause skin damage. Darker skin can be treated but it's more difficult it takes longer. As far as hair color goes, coarse dark hair is best and blond and red hair are worse. It should be remembered that results can be difficult to predict and they may be disappointing.

The cost and inconvenience of using laser treatment to remove pubic hair should also be considered. It can be expensive and there are many pre-treatment and post-treatment restrictions. For example, exposure to sun without a sun block should be avoided for six weeks after laser hair removal and waxing and shaving for two weeks. After treatment skin will feel burned for two to three hours and small blisters may appear.

On the other hand, if the treatment is successful, hair will never re-grow, and your days of waxing and shaving , razor-burn and ingrown hairs will be over.

An Inside Look At Laser Hair Removal For Bikini Line  

By Natalie Williams

A closer look at laser treatments for the bikini line to understand the costs, risks and process.
Removing the hair on the bikini line is a drudgery for many women. Most hair removal methods do not permanently stop hair growth as they only cut off the hair. If you're fed up of never-ending shaving or waxing, you may want to consider permanently removing your bikini line hair with laser hair removal.


Laser hair removal for bikini line is a permanent hair removal solution that uses high energy lights to disable hair follicles from growing hair. In theory, no hair should appear on your bikini line ever again but what you will likely experience is reduced amount of hair and thickness of hair. Therefore, multiple treatments are required over a period of time to get the results you want.

The average cost of bikini hair removal treatments is between $350 to $500 per session, depending on where you decide to have the procedure done. The color of your skin, color of your hair and thickness of your hair will determine the number of treatments you need to completely remove all hair in your bikini line. Most people go through about 3 sessions before they can remove all hair from their bikini line.

One of the benefits of laser hair removal is that it is painless unlike waxing. You should be able to completely eradicate unwanted bikini line hair after a few sessions, or at least have less or thinner hair in the bikini line area. With repeated sessions, you should be free from the daily drudgery of removing unwanted hair in your bikini line.

Side effects are rare in laser hair removal treatments and they are usually temporary when they occur. Some people develop darker or lighter shades of skin in the area that was treated with laser. This usually occurs on people with dark skin tones. Another one of the possible side effects of laser hair removal of bikini line areas is burning but this can be averted if the doctor used the right amount of light with his tool. In order to reduce the possible chance of side effects, it is a good idea to find laser hair removal technicians who are experienced and reputable.

First Time Bikini Wax - For Beginners  

By Oliver Turner

Bikini wax is a means of removing pubic hair that has recently grown in popularity. Some people may opt for a bikini wax in preparation for a honeymoon or to wear a summer bikini and others, just for hygienic reasons. With a bikini wax, the waxer applies warm wax to the pubic area, applies cloth strips on the wax to be removed when the wax cools down. Sometimes a thatch of hair is left on the vagina which may be in the shape of a heart or triangle.

With bikini waxing, you can wear your thong or string bikini without any embarrassment of pubic hair. Moreover, with pubic hair removal, the pubic area tends to look and feel more erotic. With its advantages, a bikini wax is rather painful the first time. After a few sessions, the body gets used to the pain and does not feel it that much. After a bikini wax, it takes about 3 weeks for pubic hair to re-grow.


Diabetics, people suffering from psoriasis or other skin conditions and those taking Retinol or Accutane are not suggested to have a bikini wax. Even pregnant women and women menstruating should not have a bikini wax. If required, you could take an ibuprofen or aspirin an hour before the bikini wax to cut down on pain.

With a bikini wax, you can create pubic hair designs on the pubic area that reflects your personality. The most popular designs are hearts and triangles. You can use your creativity and pubic hair to come up with better designs too.

Nowadays, not only women, but also men turn to pubic hair removal to look better in their swimwear. Whoever it may be interested in having a bikini waxing, it is better to have it done professionally at a parlor as it is not only safer, but more economical too.

Bikini Waxing: Different Types Of Wax  

Bikini Waxing: Different Types Of Wax

The mere words 'bikini waxing' usually strikes fear in the hearts of many women. Just the thought of the hair in one of the most sensitive regions of their body being ripped from the root is enough to make most run. But bikini waxing does not have to be as painful as everyone thinks. There are different types of waxes that can be soothing during a bikini waxing procedure, to the surprise of many.

There are two main types of bikini wax—hot wax and cold wax. Each one will be discussed in detail so that you can decide which type is right for you. You should pay particular attention to the ingredients in each type of wax because you may be allergic to some. You also want to be careful if you are diabetic or have a weak immune system. Waxing can leave first-timers a bit sore on the skin, meaning that you may be more open to infection.

We will start with hot bikini waxing. It is exactly what it sounds like, a hot substance made of wax (and other materials) that is applied directly onto the skin you wish to remove hair from. You then apply a piece of cloth to the wax, pressing it down to make sure the hot wax 'grabs' your hairs. In one swift move, you yank the cloth up, and with it should come the wax and the hair that it has removed. Other materials that may be in the wax include oils, fats and resins. The oils and fats allow for a smooth consistency when melted down, so that it spreads easily onto your skin. It also helps bring down the core temperature of the wax enough to make it bearable and not too hot. Hot wax is generally made from either beeswax or paraffin, which are also the two most popular waxes for candles.

A cold bikini waxing is very similar to a hot bikini waxing. Obviously, you can guess that the wax is not heated before applied to the skin, thus the cold name. Despite the fact that cold wax does not get heated, it is still just as sticky and effective as hot wax is. Generally, strips are pre-treated with the wax substance (which is also a combination of wax and other things like resin) and is applied to the area you want hair removed from. Following the directions on the package, you would leave it on for a specified amount of time and then pull it off as well.

Both types of wax leave your skin feeling very smooth. You should not have to shave or wax again until several days or even weeks later. The one drawback to waxing is that you have to wait till the hairs grow out and can be grabbed by the wax. If this is not a problem for you, then waxing is safe and easy when done as directed and will ensure that you don't have to maintain your hair removal almost daily, like with waxing or depilatories.

Brazilian Wax for a Brazilian Bikini Line  

Brazilian Wax for a Brazilian Bikini Line

If you thought that dealing with your pubic area is one of the most intimate things – think again. In the last few years plucking pubic hair the Brazilian way, meaning removing almost all pubic hair and keeping only a narrow line on the frontal area of the sexual organ, became a widespread fashion among many women all ages.

In order to achieve a Brazilian bikini wax look you will probably have to expose yourself in front of a cosmetician almost as you do when visiting a gynecologist.

No body knows exactly how many women having a Brazilian wax but there is no doubt that the industry of Brazilian bikini wax involves millions of dollars. Market researches in the Unites States found out that the sales of razors for women and men have fallen by 15% in the last couple of years.

Surprisingly, the Brazilian women were not the first that plucked their pubic hair. Women have removed their pubic hair in ancient Egypt using a mixture of honey and oil and small piece of leather.

Women in the Middle East used a mixture of sugar, lemon juice and water to pluck their pubic hair. The process of achieving a Brazilian bikini wax look usually began on the night before the wedding for the purpose of purity.

In the 1920’s the first razors and pubic hair removal substances appeared in the American department stores. The bikini was invented during the Second World War when the manufactures of swim suits were requested to spare with the leather amounts they use. Then, unwanted and embarrassing hair popped up.

Women did not know how to remove their un wanted pubic hair – they have tried to shave and burn it causing damage to their pubic area. In the 1960’s the first Brazilian wax was seen on department stores in America.

Today you can remove your pubic hair in many methods. The most common one are a Brazilian bikini wax or a pubic hair shaving using a professional pubic hair shaver.

We have executed an independent research to find the best method for getting a real Brazilian bikini line. The results were clear. Find out more on Brazilian wax and pubic shave methods. All about hair on best hair loss products.

Does It Worth It?

Woman Almost Dies After Bikini Wax  

Source : http://www.foxnews.com

'Brazilian' bikini waxes are increasingly popular among women who live nowhere near the bikini-clad beaches of Rio de Janeiro. For one 20-year-old woman in Melbourne, Australia, this routine procedure nearly took her life.

The woman was admitted to an emergency room just two weeks after receiving a 'Brazilian' bikini wax, a procedure that involves removing even more hair front-to-back than a traditional bikini wax, according to the Brief Report published online in the June issue of the journal of Clinical Infectious Diseases.

While the patient experienced "significant pain" and some bleeding during the procedure, which was performed by a trainee beauty therapist, her health had taken a sharp turn for the worst by the time she sought medical attention.

According to the report, the young woman had poorly controlled type 1 diabetes. She was admitted to the hospital with a high fever, excruciating pain, "grossly swollen" genitalia, and a rash across her chest and neck.

The woman's pain was so intense and the inflammation so severe that doctors were barely able to examine her in the emergency room.

Eventually, the doctors were able to take blood samples and cultures, which came back positive for the potentially life-threatening bacteria, Streptococcus pyogenes.

The patient's weakened immune system put her at risk when she underwent the hot-wax procedure, which caused the infection. A more complete exam, done under general anesthetic, revealed the woman was infected with herpes simplex.

She was discharged after 10 days in the hospital after a steady regimen of antibiotics and other medications that saved her life. While she had regained her health, she had not learned her lesson.

Six months later, the woman again tried to remove her pubic hair, but this time she was shaving herself. She subsequently developed a recurrence of herpes and another skin infection.

She was treated again successfully, but the report noted that, "despite her traumatic experiences, the patient was keen to undertake further removal of pubic hair."

The authors of the report warn that anyone with a compromised immune system, including diabetics and people infected with HIV, should think twice about waxing, or any beauty procedure.

"Our case is notable, because it illustrates the infectious risks of pubic hair removal in a patient with diabetes," the authors concluded. "The beauty industry is growing at an unprecedented rate and more invasive and potentially harmful procedures are increasingly available."

Even for salon customers without suppressed immune systems, this woman's story can be a lesson. Many studies have shown nail salons that do not properly sterilize equipment can easily spread hepatitis.

Every salon patron, especially those getting bikini waxes, should ensure that they attend clean and reputable establishments where therapists regularly wash their hands and wear gloves.

The authors of this report also recommend physicians familiarize themselves with these beauty practices so they can better advise patients about the pros and cons of their beauty regimens.

In some cultures pubic hair removal has been performed for centuries for hygiene and other reasons. Now it is becoming widely accepted all over the world and both men and women are keen to find a pubic hair removal method which suits them.

Shaving is inexpensive and easily done at home although there are certain precautions that need to be met. Additionally, new personal shavers which have come on the market in recent years make pubic hair removal by shaving a much easier option. (See resource box at the end of this article)

Use these tips to perform pubic hair removal safely if shaving is your choice:

Never use the old-fashioned switch-blade razor. It is quite unsuitable for pubic hair removal and can be dangerous.

Choose a female razor, obtainable from Wilkinson Sword or other well known razor manufacturers, rather than an ordinary safety razor. The design makes it much more difficult to cut yourself.

Opt for a more expensive good quality razor rather than a cheap throw away which is more likely to cause nicks, soreness and razor burns in this sensitive area.

If the pubic hair is thick and long use small scissors to trim down the hair to about a quarter of an inch. This will avoid blunting and clogging the razor too quickly.

Before performing a pubic hair removal session, wet a large, washcloth and lay it over the entire pubic area for two or three minutes.

Alternatively, take a long hot bath or stay in the shower for a while making sure the pubic area receives a lot of water. Pubic hair is coarser than head hair and needs more time to soften when carrying out pubic hair removal.

Apply plenty of shaving foam or gel over the area and leave for a few minutes to soften further. Ordinary soap is not suitable as it does not lock in the moisture to the hair the way a shaving preparation cream or gel does.

Experiment with different brands if you find some cause skin irritation. They contain various chemicals and you need to find one that suits you.

Pull the skin straight with your free hand and shave without applying pressure.

Shave upwards against the direction of the hair growth.

Make sure there is shaving foam on the skin each time you make a stroke with the razor.

Shaving bare skin can cause razor burn and can be especially painful in pubic hair removal.

Rinse the razor every couple of strokes as it will clog easily.

Rinse off and see any areas that may have been missed and again apply gel to that area and shave.

To make pubic hair removal less stressful for the skin, massage unscented Vitamin E oil into the pubic area after shaving.

To stop or reduce itching after shaving rub an ice cube over the area.

Alternatively, rub a little baby oil into the pubic area.

If you suffer from itchiness or blood spots, let the hair grow back for a week before shaving again.

Keep the shaven area well moisturized between shaves by using a skin moisturizer or baby lotion. This will reduce the uncomfortable effect the stubble may cause between shaves.

Ingrown hair can be a problem when shaving and it can be particularly uncomfortable when it appears in the pubic area. For full information on how to eliminate and prevent ingrown hairs you may wish to check out the web site at ingrown-hair-solutions.com (see resource box below).

Pubic Hair Removal - Tips When Waxing  

Pubic Hair Removal - Tips When Waxing

Pubic hair removal is now a matter of concern for both men and women. For hygiene reasons alone many individuals choose to remove unwanted body hair in the pubic area, hence, the search for the best pubic hair removal method.

Waxing is one very popular method. It is inexpensive, it can be done from home, and the results last for some weeks in many cases.

Use these tips to get the best results if you choose to use waxing as your pubic hair removal method of choice:

Avoid showering and making the hair wet prior to waxing. Hair absorbs the water making it soft and less likely to adhere well to the wax. Tough hair is easier to pull off.

Be sure to test a small area of skin first to make sure there is no acute sensitivity or allergic reaction to pubic hair removal using waxing.

Hair should be at least 1/8 inch long. If it isn't wait until it reaches this length.

Be sure to wash the skin thoroughly and dry it well beforehand to remove any lotions or oils which may prevent the wax from adhering closely to the skin.

Heat the wax carefully so as not to overheat and thus burn the skin when applying. Test on a small area first.

The consistency should be soft rather than runny.

If pain and discomfort is a main concern use a pain reducing gel or cream available from pharmacists. These solutions should be applied 30 to 60 minutes before waxing so the skin is numbed beforehand.

Apply a thin layer of wax in the direction of the hair growth and peel back with a rapid movement close to the skin.

Do not pull up or out, rather pull back.

Clean the skin with a warm moist towel afterwards to remove excess wax.

Avoid wearing tight clothing over freshly waxed areas to minimize the risk of irritation and ingrown hairs. 24-48 hours after pubic hair removal waxing, exfoliate the skin (with a Loofa sponge for example) to prevent the dead skin from accumulating and causing hair to become ingrown.

Best Positions When Performing A Waxing Pubic Hair Removal Session:

Option 1: Sit in a chair with your feet up above your waist and legs spread apart.
Option 2. Sit with one leg propped above your waist and the other leg resting on the floor.
Option 3. Lie on your back with legs wide apart and raised in the air so that all the waxable areas are spread taut.
Option 4. Lie on your side with the bottom leg straight out and the top leg bent at the knee and tucked behind the straight leg.
Option 5. Bend the knees and keep the legs wide apart so the genital areas are easy to work on. Put a mirror on the ground if necessary for better control.

Many persons prefer to have the waxing pubic hair removal procedure carried out at a salon by a professional. See the resource box for a helpful article on what to expect from what is called Brazilian Waxing.
