Simply Sunga - Everything You Need to Know About Brazilian Wax for Men

To the delight of many American men, the Brazilian wax is slowly becoming more mainstream in the United States. However, some of those brazen beauties taking the Brazilian plunge (and some men, as well) are appreciating a reciprocal trend. The Sunga is the male version of the Brazilian wax and removes all hair from the male pubic region.

Background
The J. Sisters International salon in Manhattan is responsible for introducing the Brazilian wax to the United States. Seven sisters Jocely, Jonice, Joyce, Janea, Juracy, Jussara and Judseia Padilha brought the skills they learned in their family business in Vitoria (near Rio) to New York women in 1987. Within five years their Brazilian wax had gained a loyal celebrity following and national attention. The Brazilian wax became a cultural phenomenon mentioned in shows like Sex and the City and began appearing in beauty magazines. Now their salon alone performs about 200 Brazilian waxes a day, in addition to its other services. J. Sisters International has also added the men's wing, which offers the Sunga wax, the male version of the Brazilian wax.

Preparation
Just like with other bikini waxes and with female Brazilian waxes, I recommend taking an anti-inflammatory like Tylenol, Alieve or Advil an hour before your Brazilian wax appointment. Also, use a local numbing cream, like No Scream Cream, to make everything as painless as possible. You will definitely notice a difference.

Out of respect to your esthetician, shower and bathe completely before your appointment. Remember a Sunga Brazilian wax esthetician removes hair from your pubic region including all those dark crevices and niches. Which means an esthetician will be probing around in all those dark crevices under a bright light. So clean them. Well. Thoroughly. With rose-scented soap. Please, for the love of God.
