Brazilian Rush: All About the Brazilian Bikini Wax

“Brazilian Rush—the very sexy feeling a woman gets from touching the smooth, soft part of the body that has had a Brazilian wax.”-BrazilianRush.com
And the area that has had a Brazilian wax is the pubic region. Yes, that’s right—almost completely bare from the front to the back, with only what are called “landing strips” (a thin line of hair on top and on either side) left behind or sometimes nothing at all.
The Brazilian-style waxes have been in existence since Ancient Greece, but were popularized in the United States in the late 1980s via the famed J. Sisters (Jocely, Jonice, Joyce, Janea, Juracy, Jussara, and Judseia) Salon in Manhattan. Brazilian waxes were popular in Brazil because of the very, very tiny bikinis Brazilian women are known for, but now, because of the sisters, it’s popular all over the country.
“It’s probably more intense than any doctor visit you’ll ever have,” laughs Lorraine Ruggiero, a certified South Florida esthetician (a skin care specialist who is licensed to give facials, massages, body wraps, waxing, and much more). “You’re in a well-lit room face down with someone paying all kinds of attention to your pubic hair.” But it’s not a scary experience.
What Do You Think? For a while, there has been great discussion among feminists about waxing and Brazilian waxing. Many claim that it makes a woman’s nethers look like those of a twelve-year-old girl, or that too many women do it to please men. On the contrary, more often than not women do it just to please themselves. Another myth about Brazilian waxing is that it’s only done by hookers, strippers, and porn stars, which Ruggiero says is a huge misconception. According to Ruggiero, it’s a merely clean feeling and it really makes a difference in daily life. But, as with anything, some ladies love it and some ladies don’t.
“Being raised in the tropicalia of bikinis and short skirts that is Miami, I’m going to say I generally feel good about [Brazilian waxing]. I don’t think there’s anything worse than seeing a forest peaking out from a girl’s hooha at the beach. NOT WHAT I CAME THERE TO SEE. So of course, if I expect fellow women to keep it tame, I’m going to expect it of myself. There are alternatives and it does hurt like hell! But I think it’s worth it. I get them when I can.”-Krizia, Carnegie Mellon University student
