Visiting salons for getting waxing 'down there' can be confusing because there are so many options available including bikini wax and Brazilian wax. These terms may sound similar but actually, they are different.

Brazilian waxing and bikini waxing are both used to remove pubic hair from the intimate area. However, the areas that are waxed in each procedure differ. To learn the differences, continue reading.

Brazilian Waxing Vs. Bikini Waxing

In Brazilian waxing, hair from the entire pubic region is removed, whereas, in bikini waxing, only the hair that is visible outside the bikini or underwear region is removed.

Also, during bikini wax, the hair on the pubic bone is not removed. This type of waxing targets the bikini region, as well as the sides of your legs/thighs, your panty line, and the area beneath the naval. After bikini wax, a neat inverted triangle of hair is formed that perfectly complements the panty line of the bikini.
