Waxing Terms
Waxing as a hair removal process has become so commonly used, that specialized terms have come into use for waxing of specific areas of the body. Generally, these terms are used euphemistically to denote areas considered impolite to discuss openly. Two such terms (which may be confused by some people) are bikini waxing, and Brazilian waxing.
Bikini waxing is simply the removal of excess hair at or around the area normally covered by a bikini bottom - namely, the pubic area and inner thighs. This is the more common of the two terms and is a process most women have done, particularly during the summer months when bathing suits are worn.
Brazilian waxing is a much more intimate process. It involves removing the hair from the areas surrounding the genitalia, the perineum, and in the cleft of the buttocks (around the anus). The term comes from Brazil, the South American country where high-rise thong bathing suits and g-string bottoms are common attire on the beaches and the women tend to be more hirsute, thus necessitating a more thorough hair removal procedure.
