Brazilian Bikini wax-- how is it done?

Brazilian bikinis waxes have been all the rage ever since the 1990s.

It was introduced in the US by Two Brazilian-born sisters.


whats the difference between a Brazilian wax and just any normal wax?

You ask...

Its that when you get a normal bikini wax done, the hair that grows only on the top of the genitial area is waxed off, however, when you get a Brazilian bikini wax the hair is not only removed from the top of the genitial area, its done all the way till the end towards the anus.

In my opinion, yes it is a bit painfull the first time you do it or get it done but then the next time you get waxed, its nothing!!! Its alot quicker, faster and just alot easier. The results awesome!! no hair for almost 3 to 4 weeks but that depends alot your personal hair growth.
1.Most waxings occur in a private room with a door. I have heard of some with just a curtain between you and others. You remove your pants & underwear & lie on a table with clean paper or sheets. It is possible that you could be provided with a paper thong, but chances are... you won't.
2.Because you only need about a quarter-inch of hair for the wax to grab onto, your waxer will start by trimming your pubic hair to the right length.
3.The best waxers are fast, which means less discomfort for you. The waxer will dip a waxing stick into a pot of hot wax & then spread it onto your skin & hair. She will then apply a cloth strip over the still-warm wax, pressing firmly so the cloth, hair and wax adhere to one another. When the wax has cooled, she will pull the strip off, in the opposite direction of your hair growth, pulling the hairs out by the root.
4.Most likely, your waxer will tweeze any stray hairs.

5.Waxing usually starts in the front & moves toward the back. You'll likely have to move around in all sorts of odd positions in order for the waxer to do her job.
6.Once the waxing is over, the waxer will spread soothing lotion over the waxed areas. You should ask what to do in case of bumps, redness or ingrown hairs. Your waxer should be trained in this.
7.Don't forget to get the name of the waxer so when you make another appointment you can get the same person so you don't have to bare all for another complete stranger (wink).


Tips:

1.The procedure, like any waxing, can be very painful at first, but frequent visits usually cuts down on the pain factor. I suggest taking a couple Advil at least 15 minutes before your procedure. As for the embarrassment factor -- we like to think getting a Brazilian can't be any more embarrassing than a typical visit to your gynecologist's office. These aestheticians have seen it all before.
2.The downside of a Brazilian wax... while it lasts as much as 3 weeks, the hair will grow back & you'll have to do it again.
3.Another downside... hair has to be a certain length before it can sucessfully waxed.
4.Another down side... you might experience red bumps or ingrown hairs.




Bikini Underwear--


Bikini underwears are undergarments worn by both men and women that are similarly the same size and revealing to the bottom half of a normal bikini bathing suit, very popular among the women in comparision to men.
For most women a bikini "underwear" can easily be refered to anything virtually tight, skimpy or just a revealing undergarment that provides less coverage to the mid-section than traditional underwear(Panties or knickers).

Variations in Bikinis-- Pubikini

whats a Pubikini?

A Pubikini is a type of swimwear which was created by Rudi Gernreich who also designed the first Monokini. The Pubikini is a small piece of fabric that covers the hips and buttocks but leaves the pubic area exposed.
This type of bikini wasn't popular and isn't either.

In my opinion... Outrageous!! xD

Variations in Bikinis-- Tankinis

Whats a Tankini?

The tankini on your right is designed by Lisa Curran.

A tankini is a type of swimwear which basically consists of a tank top and bikini bottoms of the traditional bikini which ususally uses the minimal amount of fabric cut out in triangles just enough to cover the breats and the genitial areas of a woman which are tied together with strings. the Tankini is different from the normal bikini only in its top, which is like the the top of a normal tank top. The tank-top top extends downward to somewhere just above the navel and the top of the hips.

The tankini on your right is an Oasis pregnant woman's Tankini.


The tankini on your right is a Cambo army printed Tankini top.


The word "Tankini" comes from combining the two words tank-top and Bikini, mixing the begining word from tank-top to "tank" and the last part of bikini, "kini" and together you get "Tankini". Ha Ha!!!




Tankinis are usually considered to be a modest closer to a one-piece swimsuit. The good thing about the tankini is that when you need to go to the bathroom you don't need to take the whole of the swimsuit off which you do if you had a full one-piece bathing suit on.

He He!! xP

Tankinis nowadays, come in a variety of styles shaped and designs. Some of the new Tankinis have integrated push-up bras in them aswell... Tankinis also exist for preganant women which divide the front showing the happy belly. This specific type of tankini id called the "Peekaboo" bikini.

The tankini on your right is an ultra feminine crochet Tankini designed by Newport News Brands.

Personally, I think Tankinis are a fun sort of bathing wear 'cause you can sometimes use the top of a tankini a top when can't really find something else to wear over a pair of shorts, a skirt or even plain blue or navy jeans. You decide the colours!!

Variations in Bikinis-- Micro-kinis

Whats a micro-kini?

well, a micro-kini is a really tiny itsy bitsy form of a bikini.The designs of micro bikini for men and women are always justenough to cover the genitial areas of the person wearing a micro-kini.If there are any other straps or strings attached, thatsjust to keep the little piece of fabric in place. Thereare many varieties even in micro-kinis; some of them use adhesive or wires to hold the garment in place over the genitials. The designs of these micro-kinis don't really need any additional strapsto keep itself in place.The most crazy type of micro-kinis are simply thin straps which barely coverthe body of the wearer. The term micro-kini was coined in 1995 in an onlinecommunity which was dedicated to enthusiastic crazy extreme designers.




Interesting... XD



The modern micro-kini origins can be traced as back to the early 1970s in Venice Beach, california, USA, where the legislation was passed banningnudity. hehe..
Anyhow, the beach regulars started making their own tiny bathing suits to comply with the "No Nudity LAW". The home-made pieces of micro-kinishowever, were a little more outrageous as compare to the ones designed by thedesigners when the No NUDITY LAw was made because the general public had remnantpieces of cloth sewn together with a fishing wire or some thread.

Imagination... XP


Around 1975,a local bikini shop picked up the idea of making a little morepractical micro-kini designs using alot more modern materials insteadof just rags.

Micro-kinis are just a niche between nudisn and concervative swimwear. And in addition to this it also helps the wearer stay just in-between the legal limits of decency,and notonly that its also ultimately known as the most provocative type of swimwear.
Personally, I think micro-kinnis are the best to get the perfect tan!! No un-tanned white bikini lines on the lovely skin... xD

Variations in Bikinis-- Monokini


Whats a monokini??--

monokini is a women's one piece bathsuit which is the same as the bottom of a normal Bikini. A monokini is also known as an "unikini" because of the fact that the its a one piece thing. Like wearing an underwear and thats about it. All sorts of "kinis" have been derived and inspired from the the traditional bikini.

In i964, Rudi Gernreich whose an Austrian fashion designer designed one of the first MONOKINIS in the United States. Rudi also had the pleasure of giving it its name and the the word momkini is recorded in the English dictionary since the very same year in which he designed the first monokini. Gernreich's monokini looked like a one-piece swimsuit which only covered the lower part of a woman's body leaving the breats of the woman bare. It wasn't really such a successfull launch because many women simply started sun bathing topless simply wearing the bottoms of the old two-piece bikini which they already had in their summer clostes. Inteligent manufacturers however, quickly had the great idea of selling bikini tops and bottoms separately to create more profits and Gernreich later created a new line of bikinis called pubkinis.

In the 1960s, monokinis led the way to sexual revolution for women emphasizing alot on a woman's personal freedom. Even her attire was provocative and exposed more skin and body than any other type of clothing during the 1950s. Today however, monokinis are designed as one of the sexiest types of swimwear available apart from string bikinis and micro bikinis usuing accessories such as chains, different types of trings, and different types of fabrics aswell. Todays styles are alot different and less racy as compare to those of Rudi Gernreich's original design but none the less alot revealing.

The word monokini is also known as another word for any type of topless swimsuit, particularly a bikini bottom worm without a top. Recently, the word monokini has come into use for topless bathing for women. While monokinis are bieng used.. the word bikini can jokingly be refered to as a bikini bottom and a sun hat bieng used at the beach by an ordinary pretty girl like yourself.
personally in my opinion, interesting! The change from bikinis to strings to monokinis to microkinis etc. mmmmhh..

Variations in Bikinis-- String Bikini

String Bikini --


A string bikini is a swimsuit which is a little more scanty and a little more show-off your body type of bikini as compare to the traditional normal bikinis. Why is it called a string Bikini? you ask.. well, its called a string bikini because of its characteristics. Instead of having a full single piece covering the bottom, the string bikini has two- a string bikini. Picture credits to wikipedia. triangular shaped pieces connected at the groin but not on the sides, where a thin string wraps around the waist to connect the two parts. In the same way, string bikini tops are tied well in place with strings at the back. There are also variations in Bikini String tops. They can be tied or in continous in different shapes and sizes. from a V to a straing line, a halter or an X.

It is said that a Brazilian Fashion model Rose de Primo created the first string bikini when she had to sew one for her photoshoot but interestingly ran out of materials. The first presentation however was done by Glen Tororich, a public relations agent, and hif wife Brandi PerretDuJon, a fashion model for the opening of Le Petite Centre which is a shopping centre in the French Quarters of New Orleans Louisiana in 1974. They were inspired by a picture of a Rio De Janiera fashion model in an issue of Women's Daily Wear magazine and they had a local fashion designer called Lapin to create it for their event. They recruited different types of models through a talent agent Peter Dasigner and presented the string Bikinis on the stage removeing fur coats designed by Alberto Lemon. This presentation of the first string bikinis was covered by all local television stations and the New Orleans Times newspaper and was sent out to international pree aswell.

String Bikinis are really popular nowadays. Almost everyone (women & girls) have atleast one in their summer closets. They are popularly seen worn at the beaches and many women also use them under normal clothing with the straps showing at the neck line of any shirt or blouse. String Bikinis can also be said to be an "undergarment" used by both men and women. Women's string bikini underwear is similar to the bottoms of the string bikini but in other fabrics such as cotton, nylon etc.

Men's string Bikini underwear consistes of a front and bak joined at the crotch and insteand of bieng joined at the sides with strings, there joined with an elastic waist band. Like those on men's briefs. But you can also find them with strings instead of a waistband.

In my opinion, string bikinis are good for the summer heated days at the beach. They let you get a good tan. and look great at the same time. I guess everyone can look great in a string bikini, however, all you gotta do is find the right one for you!!!
hapPy summer!!*

what exactly is a bikini? --
