Bikini waxing: everything to know before the first time

Basic, Brazilian or full, preparation, pain, aftercare: the guide to approaching your first appointment calmly.

A first bikini wax is often intimidating. Well prepared and done by an experienced esthetician, it is quick and far more bearable than you might think.

Basic, Brazilian or full?

A basic bikini removes what shows outside your underwear. A Brazilian goes further, and a full wax removes everything. Start with the level you are comfortable with.

Preparing well

  • Hair at least 5 mm long (about three weeks without shaving)
  • A light scrub two days before
  • Avoid your period if you are more sensitive
  • No cream on the day

After the session

Avoid intense exercise, sauna, pool and tight clothing for 24 hours. Resume exfoliating after two or three days to prevent ingrown hairs.
