How painful is male intimate waxing?

The perception of pain during male intimate waxing is very individual, but there are factors that play a role in almost everyone.

Why does the first time seem scary?

The first male intimate wax usually seems more painful because:

• the hair becomes thicker and stronger

• the skin is not yet "used to it"

• tension increases sensitivity

Many people say afterwards:

“It wasn't pleasant, but it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought.”

What does the degree of pain depend on?

The intensity of pain is influenced by several factors:

• hair density and thickness

• skin tightness and technique

• the guest's relaxation

• type of resin used

• pain threshold

• stressful situation

An experienced professional:

• working in the right direction

• tightens the skin

• it does not "tear", but moves with controlled movements

• calms down

• reduced pain

• empathetic

 That's a huge difference.

Is male intimate waxing more painful than female waxing?

In many cases, yes, the first time, not because of the man's hair:

• thicker or deeper rooted

• but because many men have less pain tolerance

However:

• Pain decreases quickly with regular treatments

• many men feel a significant difference after the 2nd or 3rd session

What happens on the following occasions?

For regular male intimate waxing:

• the hair is thinning

• grows back less often

• the skin reacts less

Therefore, the pain:

usually decreases, not increases.

It is worth scheduling the appointment every 4 weeks, because this way there is less hair and less pain than waxing.

When should treatment be postponed?

Male intimate wax is not recommended if:

• the skin is inflamed or damaged

• severe skin irritation is present

• the guest is extremely tense

In such cases, it is always better to consult first than to force.

 Male intimate waxing is not painless, but it is not unbearable either. For most men, the fear is greater than the actual experience, especially when performed by an experienced, discreet professional.
