5 Things Your Bikini Waxer Won't Tell You

5 Things Your Bikini Waxer Won't Tell You

Your skin is more sensitive during this time of your cycle, so try to get the wax done at least three days before you're supposed to start menstruating. And don't even think about making an appointment during your period— not only is that icky for the technician, but a lot of places have a "no period policy."

Nothing kills the buzz of a bare (or barer) hoo-ha like a bunch of pimples on your privates. That's what can happen if you work out within 48 hours after a waxing session because your "born again" (i.e., hairless) skin

is extra sensitive to sweat, bacteria, and chafing from your shorts or pants. Plus: Wearing tight clothing like leggings or jeggings can increase the chances of ingrown hairs because they can reroute hair back down and under the skin instead of growing out. Some dermatologists have even noted seeing an increase in ingrowns since the legging trend became so popular.

We're not suggesting you actually sit on a mysterious toilet seat...but to avoid wet thighs or pants, be extra low and careful while squatting. Because your hair down there used to help control things, it's common for your stream to be a little wacky after your wax.
