Are you unsure which type of bikini waxing to choose? Here's a simple guide to help you understand everything and make the right choice based on your desires and comfort.
The classic bikini line – For natural and discreet hair removal
The classic bikini wax involves removing only the hairs that protrude from the underwear or swimsuit.
Ideal for : first-time hair removal, modest individuals, or those who want a clean but discreet result.
Areas waxed : contours of the pubic area, without touching the labia or the inside.
The low-cut jersey – A little more revealing
The high-cut bikini line goes a little further than the classic one: hair is removed more deeply on the sides and slightly on the top of the pubic area.
Ideal for : underwear or swimsuits with a slightly more revealing cut.
Areas shaved : top and sides of the pubic area, but without touching the labia.
The Brazilian bikini – For a sexy but not full-body finish
A Brazilian wax is a more extensive waxing than the classic style: the hair is removed from the sides and part of the labia while leaving a strip in the center. It's clean and neat, but not completely shaved.
Ideal for : those who want a clean result, while maintaining a small aesthetic shape.
Areas waxed : part of the labia, upper pubic area (custom shape), including the SIF (intergluteal cleft) depending on the institute .
The full bikini wax – Zero hair, zero trace
A full bikini wax involves removing all hair , including the labia and the intergluteal cleft. No hair is left.
Ideal for : a 100% clean, hygienic finish, highly appreciated for everyday comfort or for certain occasions.
Areas waxed : the entire pubic area, labia and sides – everything is removed.
What type of jersey should I choose?
It depends on your tastes, your sensitivity, and the style of lingerie or swimwear you wear.
For a first time: classic or high-cut swimsuit .
For a smoother finish: Brazilian or full .
