What You Need to Know About Male Waxing: Manzilian, Boyzilian, & Male Brazilian
Male waxing, also known as the Manzilian, Boyzilian, or Male Brazilian, continues to grow in popularity as more men choose to have smooth, hair-free skin in their most intimate areas. Whether you’re interested for reasons of hygiene, aesthetics, or personal preference, it’s essential to understand the process, the types of wax used, and how to prepare for your appointment. This guide will help you navigate the world of male intimate waxing with confidence.
Types of Wax
Soft Wax
Soft or strip wax is a frequently chosen option for intimate waxing. After applying the wax, a muslin fabric strip is used to remove both the wax and the hair. Soft wax offers an added benefit by exfoliating the skin, which helps prevent ingrown hairs. If you prefer a polished finish and smoother skin, soft wax might be your best option.
Hard Wax
In contrast, hard wax is applied in a thick layer and hardens as it cools. After it hardens, your waxing professional removes it by peeling the wax itself off, and taking the hair along with it. Hard wax tends to work best for individuals with sensitive skin since it adheres to hair rather than skin, minimizing discomfort and irritation.
Pain Level
A common concern about male waxing is the pain involved. While waxing may be uncomfortable, many find that it hurts less than expected. The sensation feels like a quick snap from a rubber band—it stings briefly but fades quickly. After the hair is pulled, the pain doesn’t linger, making the experience manageable for most. Regular waxing also tends to reduce discomfort over time.
Hair Length for Waxing
To achieve the best results, ensure your hair is the right length before waxing. Ideally, hair should be between ¼” and ½” long, which requires about 2-3 weeks of growth after shaving. Avoid trimming your hair before the appointment, as hair that’s too short cannot be effectively waxed. If necessary, your waxing professional can handle trimming to achieve the desired results. Keeping hair at the right length also reduces sensitivity and speeds up the waxing process.
Conclusion
Male waxing delivers a clean, smooth finish that appeals to many men. By selecting the right type of wax, managing your expectations around discomfort, and preparing with the proper hair length, you can ensure a comfortable and effective waxing experience. If you’re considering a Manzilian, Boyzilian, or Male Brazilian, use this guide to make an informed decision.
