Nov 27, 2023 · When it comes to bikini waxes, you have several types to choose between, from the Brazilian to the French. Ahead, estheticians break down popular bikini wax styles and how to prep for each one.
- The Regular Bikini Wax. As the name suggests, this is the standard bikini wax. Just the regular one, something you can easily get comfortable with. Just like a white tee and blue jeans—the regular.
- The Full Bikini Wax. Don’t let the name full you. Even though the name of this bikini wax suggests that it would do something on the lines of removing the whole of the hair from your bikini area, it does nothing even close to it.
- The French Bikini Wax. Waxing styles have changed a lot over the years. And that’s how we have yet another one of the most popular bikini wax styles—the French bikini wax.
- Brazilian Bikini Wax. Brazilian wax is one of the most popular types of waxing that has found a place in the lives of hundreds of thousands of women. This is the ultimate bikini hair removal technique which removes all of the hair except leaving a bit on the front.

- Classic Bikini Wax. A classic bikini wax removes the least amount of hair. It's significantly less invasive than many other types of pubic hair waxes. This type of wax removes only the hair that's visible around the bikini line, so some hair still remains.
- Full Brazilian Wax. A full Brazilian wax removes all the hair around the pubic area — front, sides, back, everything. With this wax, all the hair in the front is removed, as well as the hair on the labia and butt area.
- Mini Brazilian Wax. If the idea of getting every last bit of hair waxed off is too intimidating, you can go for the mini Brazilian. Unlike the full Brazilian, this wax takes hair off only the front of your body (and leaves all those hidden places alone).
- Brazilian Plus Wax. Many women have a "happy trail" of hair that runs from their belly buttons to their pubic hair. If this lower stomach hair bothers you, ask for a Brazilian plus wax, which is a full Brazilian plus the happy trail.
- Au Natural. Cosmopolitan assures you that “…there is nada wrong with leaving things down there 100% au natural…” We, of course, recommend the waxing route.
- Bikini Line Touch Up. When it comes to a bikini line wax, we say imagine the shape of a bikini bottom—it’s a cleanup of the sides and tops, aka, what’s seen around your bikini covering.
- Full Bikini Line Wax. Additionally, there’s the full bikini line wax. Though akin to the bikini line touch up, the full bikini wax provides “a little more of a neaten up around the top and sides,” Cosmo says.
- French Wax: The Landing Strip. Want “to be smooth and clean of hair, without feeling too bare”? If yes, Cosmo suggests the French wax, where most of the hair is removed from around the front and sides, but the middle and around the back remains.
