How to wax the buttocks?

How to properly wax the buttocks? Having too much hair on the buttocks can be an embarrassment. Here are my tips for doing a butt waxing or butt shaving.

The hair on the buttocks can be a real source of embarrassment for some men. While others on the contrary will love the hair on the buttocks because it is a sign of virility, masculinity, as can be their beard. It's all about the person and how you approach your body. I'm not going to talk here about hair removal of the gluteal furrow in men, I've already written an article about it. I will only talk about waxing the buttocks, the most fleshy part. Moreover, the depilation of the buttocks is part of the intimate depilation in men , which includes the depilation of the jersey, the depilation of the testicles or even the depilation of the sex for some don you can also find the articles on the blog.

Some men may do buttock waxing for several reasons :

Buttock waxing for aesthetics

Buttock waxing for aesthetic reasons : As I said above, having buttock hair can be a source of embarrassment for some men. This can be unsightly if the buttocks are hairy while the thighs are not necessarily or if the hair is very fine for example.

A depilation of the buttocks to homogenize

Buttock waxing to blend in with the rest of the body : if you are doing full body waxing or bikini waxing, for example, it may be a good idea to wax your buttocks to get a perfect homogeneity. It would indeed be strange to have a shirt in the man completely shaved and hairy buttocks.

Butt waxing for sexuality

Butt waxing for sexual reasons. The buttocks can indeed be an erogenous zone for some men and the presence of body hair can decrease their desire and make the buttocks area less sensitive. The partner may also prefer to have waxed and not hairy buttocks : so to satisfy him, some men will wax their buttocks or shave their buttocks.

 

My tips for butt waxing

 

Here are some tips for a successful butt waxing.

Take a hot shower before butt waxing

Taking a hot shower will be beneficial before waxing your buttocks or shaving your buttocks hair. Because the hot shower will simply allow to soften the hairs of the buttocks and thus to make it more flexible. More supple, the hair on the buttocks will be easier to shave or wax.

Exfoliate the buttocks before waxing

Before you start waxing your buttocks, or shaving your buttocks depending on the method chosen, I advise you to do a buttock exfoliation first. Yes, you heard it right, exfoliate your buttocks. I've already talked about the benefits of face scrubs or even body scrubs, and well for the buttocks, it's the same thing. Exfoliating the buttocks will allow the skin of the buttocks to get rid of dead cells (there are also some on the skin of the buttocks) and prevent the appearance of ingrown hairs.

How to wax the buttocks?

There are different ways to remove hair from the buttocks.

Butt waxing

 

If you want to wax your buttocks, I advise you to do it with wax. It is indeed the best solution to have no hair on the buttocks temporarily. Waxing the buttocks has the following advantages:

  • Hair regrowth will be slower : you won't have to wax your buttocks every week

  • The regrown hair will be softer

 

What's more, by waxing your buttocks, you will have softer buttocks, and that's a great advantage !!

The buttocks lend themselves well to waxing because the surface of the buttocks is flat, with no bones or no particular shape to get in the way. But if you're snug, buttock waxing can cause a little pain.

Buttocks waxing with a razor

Men love the razor and when it comes to removing hair, they prefer the razor. This is understandable : removing hair with a razor is quick, in two or three movements the hair is gone. And in addition there is no need to buy any product, everything is already present in the bathroom : razor and shaving product. Yes, but the razor to shave the buttocks, and other parts of the body for that matter, is not at all the best solution :

  • Not only will hair regrowth be rapid, you will therefore have to shave your buttocks regularly,

  • But in addition the hair grows harder. This will make it itchy as the hair grows back on your buttocks and they will be more visible. Which is not at all the desired effect by waxing the buttocks or shaving the buttocks.

 

If you ever have a lot of hair on your buttocks, you can use the mower before you use the razor: this will save you time in your buttock waxing and will make it easier to pass the razor over your skin.

Butt waxing with depilatory cream

Using depilatory cream can be a good alternative to doing buttock waxing. It is a depilation which is rather practical because it is enough to apply the depilatory cream on the hairs of the buttocks and to wait a few minutes. As soon as the depilatory cream has had its effect, simply remove it with a spatula or in the shower.

Be careful, however, when using a depilatory cream to wax your buttocks : test the cream beforehand on a small part of the skin, to see if you have an allergy. Depilatory cream can indeed cause skin burns, especially if you have sensitive skin.

Permanent buttocks laser hair removal

Doing permanent laser hair removal from the buttocks is the most radical solution, but also the most suitable if having hair on the buttocks turns out to be a real embarrassment for you. At least this method is permanent and you won't have to worry about waxing your buttocks, or shaving your buttocks.

To have permanent laser hair removal from the buttocks, it is advisable to go to your dermatologist or go to specialized institutes. Several sessions will be necessary to permanently overcome buttock hair.

 

Discoloration of buttocks hair

Buttock hair discoloration is mostly for men who have fine buttocks hair that is not very dark. It is also not necessary that the hairs on the buttocks are too numerous. To bleach the hair of the buttocks, nothing could be simpler : just use a bleaching product for the face that women use in particular to make the hairs of the mustache less visible. In a few minutes, after applying the bleaching product, the hairs will be less visible. Of course, this is not going to affect you if you don't like the feeling of having hair on your buttocks : it will just make your buttock hair less visible.

The position for waxing the buttocks

Of course, if you do buttock waxing at home, or if you shave your buttocks alone at home, you will have to be careful not to cut yourself and have bleeding. It would be a shame to have buttocks without hair but with lots of shaving cuts.

 

If you are doing buttock waxing with a razor, it is therefore advisable:

 

  • to stretch the skin of the buttocks well with your fingers before passing the razor blade

  • to look at your gestures in a mirror, for example by taking two mirrors so as not to completely twist your neck and have perfect visibility of your gestures.

If you are doing buttock waxing with depilatory cream, I also advise you to take a good look in the mirror that you have applied the cream to all your hair: this will avoid having to use the razor afterwards.

What to do after depilating or shaving the hair of the buttocks?

Now that you have waxed or shaved the hair on your buttocks and that they are all soft, you will have to take care of them:

Moisturize after a butt waxing

Immediately after the session, do not hesitate to moisturize your buttocks. The razor or the wax are a bit like an aggression for the skin of the buttocks, which will have to be softened and therefore hydrated with a moisturizing treatment for the body (moisturizing milk for example).

Exfoliate after butt waxing

A few days after waxing or shaving buttock hair, do a buttock scrub. This will prevent the appearance of ingrown hairs. This will prevent the appearance of unsightly pimples on your buttocks.
