Bikini depilation is a treatment that, for many people, is part of their regular body care routine. For it to go comfortably and smoothly, it's worth preparing for it properly, including in terms of your outfit. Although it may not seem like a big deal, choosing the right clothes before and after bikini depilation can make a big difference to your comfort and minimise the risk of irritation. Find out what to look for when planning your visit to the beauty salon.
Comfortable underwear is essential
The choice of underwear is crucial when visiting for bikini depilation. Depending on which type of depilation you choose (classic bikini, Brazilian bikini or french), you will be able to keep your underwear on or you will be asked to remove them. Regardless of the type of treatment, it is a good idea to opt for loose, cotton underwear that will allow your skin to breathe and not further irritate it after depilation.
Cotton underwear has the advantage of being breathable and gentle on the skin, which is especially important after treatment. Avoid lace, artificial fabrics or tight-fitting knickers, which can cause friction and increase discomfort.
Loose clothing on top
After depilation, the skin in the bikini area is very sensitive, so what you wear on top is of paramount importance. Loose, airy clothing that won't put pressure on your body or rub the delicate areas undergoing depilation will work best. Dresses or skirts are ideal as they allow air to flow freely and minimise the risk of irritation.
If you prefer to wear trousers, opt for loose-fitting models made from soft fabrics such as cotton or linen. Avoid tight jeans, leggings or tights, which can cause excessive friction and promote minor sores or redness.
Avoid tight swimwear
If you are planning a bikini depilation just before you go on holiday or visit the pool, remember not to wear a tight swimsuit straight away. Your skin is particularly prone to irritation after depilation, and the clinging material can make the discomfort even worse. It's better to let your skin rest for at least a few hours before you decide to put on your swimsuit.
Opt for natural fabrics
Materials play a key role in the choice of clothing after depilation. Opt for natural fabrics such as cotton, bamboo or linen, which allow your skin to breathe. Artificial fabrics such as polyester can retain moisture, which promotes irritation and sweating. Natural fabrics will ensure adequate air circulation to the skin, which is extremely important to avoid inflammation.
What else is worth knowing before bikini depilation?
Before you go for bikini depilation, keep in mind a few basic rules to help ensure your comfort before and after the treatment. First and foremost, make sure you have good hygiene before your appointment - ideally take a shower to keep your skin clean and dry. Also avoid putting lotions or oils on your skin, which can hinder the adhesion of the wax. Make sure the hair are also the right length – the best results are achieved with hair around 0.5 cm to 1 cm in length (which is approximately 2 weeks after shaving with a razor).
And don't forget to prepare yourself mentally - bikini depilation, especially with wax or depilatories, can be painful, but done well you can enjoy smooth skin for a long time. It's a good idea to relax before your appointment and ensure your skin is well cared for afterwards with soothing moisturisers.
