When warm weather hits, there's always a mad dash for tanning lotions at the drugstore, and for hair removal treatments at local spas and cosmetic clinics. In preparation for donning that teeny weeny bikini, or even that flattering, modest one-piece, bikini hair removal is a must! But how will you go about removing unwanted pubic hair this summer? And how can you style your own unique look underneath your bikini bottoms? New trends in pubic hair design and bikini stenciling are changing the shape of bikini lines, and getting quite creative in the process!

Pubic Hair Removal Goes Public

Ever since Gillette introduced the Milady Décolletée in 1915, the first shaving razor for women, adventurous types and stylish fashionistas alike have experimented with hair removal on both public and/or private pubic body areas. With the evolution of new razors and the creation of new hair removal methods like waxing, depilatory creams, laser hair removal and electrolysis, pubic hair removal got easier and more efficient—and beach season became much more bikini-friendly.

But simply removing hair down there quickly became old news for the more daring, ready-to-bare femme fatales amongst us. Soon, new bikini hair removal trends were altering the amount of hair being removed, and the styling of the treated area.

The most popular methods of pubic hair removal today are shaving, waxing and laser hair removal. Due to the sensitivity of the bikini line area, many other hair removal methods aren't safe or plausible to use down there. Currently, some of the hottest trends in pubic hair removal are the French and Brazilian bikini waxes, and Brazilian laser hair removal. Pubic hair designs created with these hair removal treatments took things a step further.

Hot and Hip Bikini Line Designs

In the past, fashioning pubic hair designs could only be accomplished with a razor and a hope for the best—even then, design possibilities were greatly limited by that unwieldy, hazardous razor. If a unique design was successfully achieved with a smaller razor, the pubic hair shape would only last for a mere 1-2 days before regrowth ruined the effect.

This led many women to seek out a professional hair removal provider to create their pubic hair designs, for bikini season, or for an unforgettable romantic evening. Depending on their offered services, a hair removal specialist can create personalized pubic hair designs when patients receive their bikini waxes or bikini laser hair removal treatments.

There are also at-home options for creating pubic hair designs, such as bikini wax stenciling kits or bikini shave stenciling kits. Bikini stenciling kits often come with different stencil shapes to choose from, and a special pencil; this can be used either to outline the stenciled pubic hair shape, or even to draw one of your own. Bikini wax stenciling kits will also include special waxing strips and possibly some post-waxing lotion to soothe treated skin. For bikini shave kits, stencils and stenciling pencils may be accompanied by special razors and shaving lotions.

Popular pubic hair designs include hearts, butterflies, diamonds, lightning bolts, lips and even initials. For added "wow" factor, stick-on jewels, crystals or tattoos are also popular choices for dressing up that intimate area. The best part? If the first attempt at a design goes awry, no one ever has to know!
