Is Bikini Waxing For You?
Thursday, April 17th, 2008
Bikini waxing is the removal of unwanted hair in the bikini area or bikini line. This is something I have done regularly to the dismay of my mom. She said she wouldn’t be caught dead having a bikini waxing. According to her there are just some things that are sacred and the bikini area is one of them.
I have to admit bikini waxing may not be for everyone. When you go for a bikini waxing, you are sort of baring everything you have to a total stranger. In order for the technician to perform their task you have to get up on all fours and spread your legs as far as you can, while pushing your butt up into the air. Talk about opening up! 
Some people are just not comfortable going through all that for cosmetic reasons. Even some of my friends say this is the most humiliating grooming they can imagine.
Bikini waxing involves applying hot wax on the spots you want hair removed, and ripping it off with a strip of paper, and this can be a little painful. I personally don’t have any problem with bikini waxing and exposing myself to others since they’re professionals. I feel totally comfortable having it done. Even the pain is not really that bad although I always scream out of reflex and giggle afterwards So to me bikini waxing is actually kinda fun and I often laugh when people get so uptight about it. I’m not ridiculing them though, I just find it funny the way they react when they hear about bikini waxing 
However, I don’t recommend doing your own bikini waxing at home, although there are do-it-yourself kits available with instructions and tips on how to do bikini waxing yourself. It’s hard to do a good job doing it yourself. Of course, you’re welcome to try it if you’re adventurous and have good dexterity, but please don’t call me when you can’t remove the wax, or you accidentally sat on something that you are now stuck too, hahaha!
Should this happen, you would need to contact the wax company and figure out what to do. This won’t be the most pleasant phone call you have ever made, though I bet the operators are quite used to getting calls about home bikini waxing gone wrong.
I remember my aunt once said, “Tanya, if I were young and sexy like you, I might consider having bikini waxing but at my age it’s just a bit too much. I’m having a hard enough time going to a gynecologist.”
If you’re uncomfortable with bikini waxing for whatever reason, you have other options. You may want to consider shaving more often or have a laser hair removal for that area. Unlike bikini waxing which needs to be done every few weeks, laser hair removal is something you only do once, although it may take more than one appointment and cost more than bikini waxing.
