How To Prepare For A Bikini Wax

Wearing the skimpiest bikini in the world may turn heads and make you the hottest beach babe, but it's not something you can do easily and it definitely calls for major preparation. Fabulous bikini? Check. Gorgeous body? Check. All unnecessary "stuff" perfectly clear and hidden? Okay, what was that one teeny-weeny strand you think you saw at the bottom?

With the popularity of micro bikinis, G-strings, T-backs and the like, hair waxing also rose to global fame. Suddenly, it was essential to strip off all that unnecessary hair in the area lining just around the lower female extremities, as having them play peek-a-boo would be totally mortifying and a major turn off to the hot guys. Women who plan to wear Brazilian bikinis that expose more flesh than other bikinis should especially undergo a bikini wax treatment first. Hence, with the realization of all women around the globe of the one major essentiality before they can strut with full confidence down the beach, the hair removal method otherwise known as the bikini wax became a phenomenon.

There are women who have seem to undergo bikini wax treatments as if they're just having a massage. But the truth is, most bikini wax virgins are absolutely scared. And they have every reason to be, as generally, hair removal using waxing in painful. Unless you're blessed with a very high tolerance to pain, you better prepare yourself for this sort-of-challenging-but-ultimately-satisfying beauty requirement.

One important thing to remember is that not everyone can undergo a bikini wax. If you're a diabetic, suffering from certain skin conditions, or taking certain drugs like Retinol, the bikini wax is definitely not recommended. Furthermore, the bikini wax is definitely not recommended for you if you are currently having your menstrual period or expecting a baby, as your pain tolerance during times like these is low.

When you're sure you're not in any risky health condition, you can step further in the preparation process. First, make sure the person who's going to treat you is someone efficient and well recommended. People like these know how to make the customer comfortable and know how to apply the proper techniques to lessen any discomfort.

Once you've booked with the right person and you're decided to really go for it, you have to make sure your pubic hair is of the right length before you set an appointment. Too long pubic hair may have to be cut prior the treatment, which would take a longer time. Too short pubic hair may be almost impossible to remove. It is recommended that you shave your bikini area three weeks before getting the wax. If you plan to undergo treatment as soon as possible just make sure your pubic hair is about ½ to ¼ inch in length.

Another important preparation is to analyze your tolerance for pain. If you are particularly sensitive to any physical pressure, it would help if you take a pain relieving medicine that can cut down the pain a notch or two. Taking something also helps psychologically and makes you a bit more confident. It is also recommended to avoid swimming or sunning yourself 24 hours before the operation to make sure the bikini area is a bit less sensitive at the time of treatment.
