Waxing
How does waxing and gelling compare to shaving?
When using gel, all you have to do is open the jar and off you go. There's no preparation, there's no melting and there's no heating. It's designed to work with your body heat. What you do is you put a small amount of the gel on your skin and you allow it to melt with you body heat. You travel with it downwards in the direction of the hair growth. Then you apply a thin layer and place your backing strip on. Go over it three times and then you pull it off in the opposite direction of the hair growth.
What is a 'Brazilian wax'?
A Brazilian wax is about removing all the hair from the pubic area except a strip in the middle. It can be triangular or just a straight strip. Brazilian waxing is very popular these days. Most women go to beauty salons to have it done because they are either not confident enough or they chicken out after applying the wax. However, you can do a Brazilian wax at home. I would advise you to apply it on small areas first, so apply a small area and then remove the wax, and then continue with it. Stay away from doing the whole area at once because it is very painful.
What is a 'Playboy wax'?
A Playboy wax is waxing the pubic area and leaving a tiny strip there in the middle. The Playboy wax is named after the magazine, for obvious reasons.
