What Is a French Bikini Wax?
French bikini wax is a variation of bikini line waxing, in which we shape our vaginal hair in a narrow strip form, which we can call a “landing strip”. Any hair surrounding this landing strip should be removed to get a clean and smooth vaginal area.
What Does A French Bikini Wax Cover?
When getting a French bikini wax, the salon will remove the hair in these areas:
Now we can style the left behind landing strip like trimming to control the length of the hair or allow the hair to grow long.
French Bikini Wax Vs. Brazilian Wax
Brazilian Wax Overview
The Brazilian wax is another variant of bikini waxing that you can get done at a salon. This variant states that they will remove all the hair under your underwear and will leave no design or strip of hair. It is a form of bikini waxing that will give us a completely clean and smooth vaginal area 100% free from hair.
Key Differences Between French Bikini Wax & Brazilian Wax
The main difference between French and Brazilian waxing is the area that each of them cover. French waxing will give you a narrow landing strip that will run between the edge of your underwear to your vagina. The Brazilian waxing removes all the hair that is covered behind our underwear and near the vagina including the buttocks and labia region. We will not have any kind of shape of strip left behind in the Brazilian waxing.
Why French Bikini Wax?
- The narrow landing strip that is left behind in a French waxing can feel very pleasurable while having sex. The hair on the landing strip will give sensations to you and your male partner during sex.
- It looks very well-groomed and well-maintained when we have all the hair cleaned up with a well-defined strip of hair.
Why Brazilian Wax?
- Brazilian waxing will give us a completely hair-free touch and the male partner will feel very soft and silky during sex.
- Since there will be no landing strip or any shape of hair, we don’t have to worry about maintaining the shape. If the hair grow long, we would otherwise have to keep trimming it to maintain a well-defined shape.
How Painful Is a French Bikini Wax?
The pain level between any form of bikini vs French bikini wax are almost the same. French waxing is as painful as Brazilian waxing or any other forms of bikini line waxing. Normally, you should not feel any differences in the pain levels whether going for French, Brazilian, or any other type of bikini line waxing. The pain will feel like several hair pulled from your intimate area at once, which should last for a few seconds only. After that you will feel minor pain for a few minutes and it should resolve automatically.
But every girl will feel different levels of pains and there are strong reasons behind it:
- If it’s the first time you are getting French waxing, you will feel a lot of pain than other regular customers.
- If your pain tolerance is low or if your vagina is more sensitive than other girls, then you will feel more pain.
- If you are on your periods or if you have just finished with your menstrual cycle, you shall feel more pain than other girls.
How Do I Get Ready For A French Bikini Wax?
How To Prepare For A Waxing Session?
1. Attain the right hair length
Too short or too long hair for French waxing is not okay to proceed with. We suggest that your vaginal hair should be about 8mm to 14 mm or about half an inch long. If you have long hair on your vagina, it will cause a lot of pain and if they are too short, then waxing may not remove all the hair at once.
2. Prepare your vaginal area
We recommend that you should exfoliate your vagina with a mild scrub exfoliant and hydrate it one or two days before the waxing session. This will prepare your skin and make it ready to face the harshness of waxing.
French Bikini Waxing Procedure
- Get a consultation from a salon and understand the complete process of French waxing.
- Book an appointment with them and ask for any advice that they have to give.
- You can keep preparing your skin 1-2 days before your waxing session and we suggest that you should not have sex one day before waxing, especially rough sex because this can make your vagina more sensitive.
- Get the waxing done and let your salon do the procedure according to their protocols. Please don’t skip or neglect aftercare. Hydrate your skin and be gentle with your vagina until you recover from the pain completely.
FAQs
How Long Does a French Bikini Wax Last?
If your hair density, speed, and thickness are less on your vaginal area, then a French waxing can easily last for 3 to 4 weeks. But if your hair grows fast, then you will need more frequent sessions. Once your hair regrows to about a quarter inch, we can say that you should schedule your next waxing appointment soon.
Can I Get a French Bikini Wax if I Have Sensitive Skin?
Yes, you can get a French wax even if your skin is sensitive but we suggest that you tell your salon about it beforehand. You should tell them about your skin sensitivity and ask them if they can make necessary arrangements to reduce your pain.
On the other hand, you can take some over the counter painkillers and consume them about an hour before your session begins. This will keep your sensations minimised.
Is It Safe to Get a French Bikini Wax During Menstruation?
No it is not safe to get a French bikini wax when you are on your periods because your hormones will be fluctuating and your vagina will be very sensitive at that time. Also, it’s not hygienic and you will always be at a risk of complications. But if you are confident that you can tolerate the pain or if nothing will go wrong, you may proceed with your gut feeling.
How Much Does a French Bikini Wax Typically Cost?
- French Bikini Slightly higher than a basic bikini and the top: £19.00 (strip waxing) and £24.00 (hot waxing)
- Basic French: £20
- French bikini & half leg wax: £30
- French bikini & full leg wax: £35
What Should I Do if I Experience Redness or Bumps After Waxing?
If you are seeing redness and/or bumps after you got a French wax, it means your skin is reacting to the treatment. You need to apply a soothing lotion like fresh aloe vera gel if possible, coconut oil, and/or any mild moisturiser.
Coconut oil is one of the best natural remedies that should give you immediate relief and heal the skin quickly. If you are also feeling pain, then you can take over the counter painkillers for some temporary relief. But if you see no improvements in your situation, then you will need to see a doctor quickly.
Can I Exercise After Getting a French Bikini Wax?
Yes, you can exercise after getting a French bikini wax but try not to stress your vaginal region. You should do mild exercises for one or two days or until you recover from the pain completely.
How Often Should I Get a French Bikini Wax?
We suggest a 3 to 4 weeks gap between each session and the rest depends on how fast your hair regrows. If the hair are about ¼ inches long, then you should start preparing for your next session.
Conclusion
French bikini wax is a type of bikini wax in which you will get a sexy narrow strip of hair and the surrounding region will be hair-free. This is one of the sexiest bikini waxes you can get that can increase your and your sex partner’s sex pleasure. Along with that, French wax looks very adorable if you have maintained the landing strip well. The procedure, aftercare, and preparations are the same as other bikini line waxing options.
