Bikini waxing

Bikini waxing is the epilation of body hair in and around the pubic region, commonly by females, by the use of wax. With the decreasing size of women's swimwear, pubic hair which may become visible around the crotch area of a swimsuit, which is widely culturally disapproved of and generally considered to be unaesthetic, undesirable and embarrassing, is at times removed.^[1] However, some people also remove pubic hair that is not exposed, for aesthetic^[1] or other reasons.
The term bikini line is the imaginary line in a woman's pubic region that delineates that part which would normally be covered by the bottom part of a swimsuit. In the context of waxing, it is generally understood to describe any pubic hair visible beyond the boundaries of a swimsuit.^[1] Epilation is usually also performed on the upper leg.^[2](p139)
Pubic hair can be removed in a number of ways, including waxing, shaving, sugaring or using chemical depilatory creams. Hair that is not removed may be trimmed. While mainly associated with females, men at times also remove pubic hair.^[3]
In Middle Eastern societies, removal of the female body hair has been considered proper hygiene, necessitated by local customs, for many centuries.^[4] In Islam, this is known as an act of Fitrah. Evidence of pubic hair removal in ancient India dates back to 4000 to 3000 BC, ^[5] the removal of pubic hair by Western women became more common when bathing suits became abbreviated, starting in 1945.^[1] Changes in lingerie styles have also encouraged the removal of pubic hair throughout the years.
