All about the classic bikini area

Women began to remove hair in the bikini area in ancient times. Representatives of highly developed civilizations - Egypt, Rome - tried in various ways to ennoble the intimate zone. True, there was no talk of total depilation. The deep bikini theme is relatively young. Every modern woman solves this issue in her own way, using options that have both pros and cons, depending mainly on individual aesthetic requests.

The bikini area and the bikini line are still different things. In the first case, it is said about the part of the body that is hidden under the underwear. The bikini line is the top of the panties, where you can already see the naked body, not covered by anything. The area that remains bare above the linen must be freed from excess vegetation. This is an absolutely understandable desire of a woman: this is how the body looks tidy, one feels comfort, these are the standards of decency. But what will remain under the panties (in the bikini area), it is up to her to decide.

Consider what the classic type of depilation means:

• hairs are removed strictly along the line of the underwear, and underneath the hairline can remain unchanged;
• this is the safest way to remove hair, since the most sensitive areas of the skin are not affected by the "classic";
• for young girls who are first faced with depilation, this option is also suitable - it is not too painful, soft and accessible to control.

With experience, a woman develops preferences, which depends on her own perception of the body and on sensations. Although, for example, some interesting studies have shown that absolutely smooth skin in the bikini area gives girls more self-confidence. However, the classic depilation is still more preferable for many.

An alternative to the "classic" is a deep bikini (total). In this case, hair is removed absolutely from the entire groin area. They are removed from the skin of the labia, pubis, inner thighs. From a hygienic point of view, this type of depilation is better than all others. The fact is that hair, no matter how many there are, absorbs the smells of sweat, natural secretions, and so on. The skin under the vegetation will melt, which also affects the hygiene of the intimate area. Therefore, the difference between classic and total depilation lies not only in the external effect, but also in the hygienic sense.

Deep ones include: Brazilian, Hollywood, French and medium bikinis.

• Brazilian. In this case, a thin strip of hair remains on the pubis - just such that it does not interfere with effectively wearing thongs (here you can guess the association with women's outfits at Brazilian carnivals).
• Hollywood. Absolute hair removal, not only from the skin of the female external genital organs, but even from the area between the buttocks. This is not an average option, but the most cardinal one, which differs from all others in complete control over hair growth in intimate areas.
• French. There is a narrow strip of vegetation on the pubis, and everything else is removed, including from the sub-buttocks.
• The average. Similar to a French bikini, hair is removed from everywhere except the pubis. But even on the pubis, they do not grow arbitrarily - they are given a shape, a pattern.

All major methods and techniques are based on the destruction of the hair follicle. How exactly this is done is the main principle of differences in methods. You can gravitate towards the classics and use a razor, as well as choose a laser or shugaring.

Depilation and epilation are often confused. Depilation removes hair temporarily, which helps remove the visible portion of the hair that is above the skin. Epilation either destroys the hair follicle or simply removes the hair from the root.

The easiest option that any woman can handle at home. The method is good because it suits everyone. For example, some alternative methods are prohibited for pregnant women, but they can always take a shaving razor and cream in their hands and then use them to remove hair in the classical way.

What are the advantages of depilation with a razor:

• works in all areas;
• full control of the process;
• small hairs are also removed;
• takes a little time;
• the most affordable and cheapest way.

What are the disadvantages of depilation with a razor:

• you will have to shave often;
• over time, "hemp" of hair will appear more and more clearly on the skin;
• if shaving roughly, skin irritation may occur;
• regular shaving helps coarse hair;
• when the hair grows back, itching is possible.

The principle of such depilation is simple: the supercutaneous part of the hair is removed, the bulb remains intact. Shaving the intimate area, creating a classic bikini, is painless.

A few recommendations on the safety of performing a classic bikini with a razor will not hurt anyone, especially beginners. Let's list them.

• Shaving is only possible on pre-moisturized skin.
• The shaver is selected taking into account the texture of the skin, the stiffness and thickness of the hairs. The blades need to be changed regularly.
• The shaving product must have emollients (emollients) in the composition.
• Shave your hair only in the direction of its growth. Movements are made gently, pressure is light.
• After shaving, the skin must be moisturized. A cream with calendula, aloe, tea tree oil does an excellent job with this.
• Immediately after the procedure, there is no need to put on tight synthetic clothes or underwear. And later it is better to avoid synthetics.
• Scrub and hard washcloth after shave is prohibited.

This procedure is called waxing. You don't need any special skills to carry it out - you can learn everything at home.

Bikini wax depilation has a variety of methods of implementation.

• Hot. In this case, you will need a wax heater. If not, you will have to go to the beauty salon. So hot depilation is good because it successfully removes hairs even in hard-to-reach places. As soon as the wax mass hardens on the skin, it is pryed off and removed with a quick sharp movement along with the hairs.
• Warm. Hair removal is performed using paper strips glued to the treated area of ​​the skin. This procedure for the bikini area is preferred by women with a low pain threshold and delicate skin. Ideal for home use.
• Cold. For this depilation method, stores sell strips that are coated with cold wax. They cannot demonstrate high efficiency even with weak vegetation, and they cannot cope with strong vegetation at all.

Typically, waxing is the next procedure girls try after shaving. Although now this type of vegetation correction is confidently pushing aside the "sweet" product of beauty services - shugaring.

Instead of wax in this case, sugar paste is used, otherwise the principle is the same. Whoever decides to depilate the bikini area for the first time often chooses to get rid of hair using the classical method through sugar paste. It does not traumatize the skin so much, in addition, the procedure is not perceived too intimate. However, this cannot be said about deep bikini shugaring - you will have to endure there.

What are the advantages of this type of depilation:

• shugaring will remove all unnecessary, including small vegetation;
• the composition of the paste is natural, does not cause allergies;
• the procedure can be carried out at home, especially in cases where a classic bikini is produced, and not a deep one;
• the result will be persistent for at least 3 weeks;
• each removal reduces vegetation - hair becomes thinner, becomes thinner.

The main disadvantage of shugaring is pain. Although everyone estimates it differently. Compared to wax depilation, hair removal with sugar paste is less painful.

To remove hair with paste or wax, it must grow back. If all the hairs are small, the success and effectiveness of the procedure is not particularly high. This is not necessary for a laser.

What you need to know about laser depilation of a classic bikini:

• the laser does not affect the health of the reproductive organs - the length of the beam is such that the maximum zone of laser action is no more than 4-5 mm under the skin;
• to undergo a successful course of laser depilation, you need to maintain an interval of 21 days;
• during the day after depilation, the treated area cannot be wetted, use a washcloth and detergents;
• it does not hurt, there may be discomfort or a characteristic chill, but everything is pretty bearable;
• to completely get rid of hair in unwanted areas, you need to carry out several sessions of laser depilation.

Many questions arise about the obligatory shaving of the groin area before laser depilation. But for this procedure, it is important that the skin is smooth and the length of the hairs is no more than 2 mm. The newest lasers do not need hairs as conductors, since they act on the bulb and its vessel.

There is also such a way to remove hair - using an epilator. But it is now not considered by those people who have tried shugaring or laser. The reason is simple - it really hurts. Moreover, hair after such machine shaving begins to grow in.

Some women still use tweezers for hair removal. And they pull out pointwise everything that has grown around the panties. It is painful, long, quickly annoying. However, the result can last up to 2 weeks. It is unlikely that this method is particularly competitive, but sometimes it is the only one.

Photoepilation is a method of electronic hair removal. In many ways inferior to the laser. The use of an epilator cream does not always give the desired effect, it covers all areas of removal.

There are no tips that will suit everyone. How delicate is the depilation procedure, so is the choice of a suitable method.

But depilation masters advise:

• examine your skin in the intimate area: how delicate it is, how long it takes to cope with irritations;
• to understand what the pain threshold is - many women are painfully tolerating the procedure, so it is better to start with gentle methods of hair removal;
• those who are ready for any tests for the sake of beauty should try different methods and compare them;
• to remember a sensation - sometimes sensing itself suggests what is best for us, what tactile sensations are perceived as the most pleasant.
