The line demarcating the visible from the covered part of the lower abdomen is called the bikini line.[2] Depilation is usually also performed on the upper leg.[3] In place of waxing, other methods of hair removal are often used, such as shaving, sugaring or using chemical depilatory creams. While mainly associated with females, genital waxing also has a male clientèle.[4]
Western women started removing this hair when bathing suits became abbreviated.[1] Changes in lingerie styles encouraged year-round waxing of the bikini area.[3] However, in Middle Eastern societies, removal of the female body hair has been considered proper hygiene, necessitated by local customs, for many centuries.[5] In Islam, this is known as an act of Fitrah. Evidence of pubic hair removal in ancient India dates back to 4000 to 3000 BC, and methods have not changed much beyond the material used.
Bikini waxing may be classified into four categories[3][7][8] which may have differing names depending on which salon one visits.[9] It has been claimed that Brazilian waxing, the most renowned form, was named after the Brazilian sisters who offered the service in New York, USA.
