No matter your grooming preferences – shaving, waxing, or going completely bare down there – how you style and maintain your pubic hair is ultimately up to you. Some popular styles include:
This simple waxing style removes hair that can be seen when wearing underwear or bathing suit bottoms. It’s a good option for first-time waxers or those wanting a quick tidy-up of their pubic area. The esthetician may shape a small triangle known as the “Desert Island” or “Bermuda Triangle” for those not ready to go completely bare. The Bermuda Triangle can complement French or Brazilian waxing sessions.
In a more dramatic version of the landing strip, the Brazilian removes all hair except for a small rectangular strip in front of the pubic area. It is often described as an “arrowhead to pleasure” and is low maintenance. Some people also opt for a variation of the Brazilian called the “landing strip/Brazilian triangle,” which leaves a triangle of hair on top that can be shaped into different designs.
This advanced option leaves a strip of trimmed hair directly over the vulva, known as a landing strip. It defines without going completely bare. It resembles a French bikini wax but does not include hair removal from behind like Brazilian waxing.
For those nervous about going completely bare, this style leaves a small triangle of hair on top, similar to a high bikini line, but without any hair at the inner and outer labia. It combines elements of Brazilian wax with French polish for maximum smoothness.
This style involves removing all hair from the labia and mons. Professionals should do it as it requires more expertise and can be tedious and potentially dangerous if done incorrectly. Home waxing of bikini lines may be possible, but full Brazilian treatments are best left to professionals.
Men can also create landing strips, which are becoming increasingly popular among celebrities and athletes. This practice, often called “manscaping,” involves shaving, waxing, or using depilatory creams to remove hair in the pubic area. However, it may be more painful for men.
Remember to consult a professional and follow their instructions for a safe and effective hair removal experience.
