Bikini waxing refers to the removal of unwante hair at the top of the leg, below the navel, and in the bikini area, otherwise known as the bikini line, a term generally understood to describe any pubic hair that is visible beyond the boundaries of a typical bikini swimsuit, sometimes including the forearms. Other methods of hair removal, such as shaving, sugaring or using chemical depilatories creams are often used in place of waxing.
