A Complete Male Brazilian Wax Guide
For the uninitiated, a Male Brazilian Wax Treatment — or manzilian, as some may call it — may seem intimidating, even somewhat taboo. But times are changing, and men everywhere are looking into fresh ways to treat and groom themselves, and look their very best on that next Tinder date.
Manscaping is ballooning in popularity, and it’s not just a nice shave with a hot towel at the barber anymore — your nether regions and other body hair are calling for some extra TLC and expert hair removal, too. Let’s talk about what it is, and answer some of the hottest questions folks have about the process.
Manzilian Wax vs. Brazilian Wax
For all intents and purposes, a Male Brazilian Wax and Manzilian Wax are the same. What you’re getting is a nice wax treatment that’ll leave you feeling smooth down there for a long time — no more daily shaves and trimming to keep it fresh down there, and less chance for pesky hair follicles or ingrown hair. Go live your smoothest, best self.
Oh, and by the way, don’t let the gendered naming here mislead you. Brazilians are for everyone – trans, non-binary, man, woman. Let’s get you looking fabulous no matter how you identify!
What’s included in a male Brazilian wax?
If you’re squeamish about the idea of a Male Brazilian Wax, or Manzilian, then you might want to take a deep breath. Then let it out and get ready because it might sound rough but you can handle it.
A fully executed Male Brazilian Wax Treatment includes removing all of your pubic hair — including hair around the scrotum, perineum (between the scrotum and the anus), and then the anal region itself. Yes, it involves hot wax in some of your most sensitive skin areas. But it’s a small price to pay for glory.
Who offers Brazilian waxing for men?
Male Brazilian Wax Treatments are more and more popular in more and more salons across the country. Everyone’s getting in on the craze, it seems. But for our money? The best spot is right here at Denver Waxing.
How painful is a male Brazilian wax?
Reasonable question, friend! Unfortunately, the answer is: it depends. Like many things, the level of pain from a Male Brazilian Wax Treatment or Manzilian depends on the individual’s threshold for pain and pain tolerance, as well as the products chosen for the treatment. If you’ve watched any Tik Toks of these procedures, you already know it can hurt. But that pain doesn’t last forever, either.
Reduce discomfort and pain by seeking a professional
If the pain is what’s keeping you from ripping off the bandaid (or wax strip, as it were), professionals at Denver Waxing are here to help to make sure your Male Brazilian Wax Treatment is as comfortable as possible.
What to expect during a male Brazilian wax
During a Male Brazilian Wax Treatment or Manzilian treatment you can expect some hot wax applied in patches — small ones, to make sure that these especially sensitive regions aren’t put through too much, too fast. The process takes about 40 minutes give or take, but will leave you hair-free for between two and four weeks to come!
Preparing for your waxing appointment
Before any Manzilian or Male Brazilian Wax Treatment, clients are encouraged to exfoliate skin in the area to remove dead skin cells, which is a good habit to keep up for future waxing sessions as well. The hair must be at least a quarter inch, though it can't be too long and will require a trim if the bush is a bit too long. The other major important element is that there can’t be any traces of irritation or infection on the skin — so if things are itchy down there, maybe wait a tick!
During your male Brazilian session
As mentioned earlier, Male Brazilian Wax Treatment and Manzilian treatments involve small patches of wax applied to the groin and nether region, which is then pulled off in the opposite direction of hair growth. Hard waxes are generally used in this process to ensure that there is minimal pain, and to help promote healthy skin in the coming days. Eucalyptus or other moisturizers often get involved during the session as well in order to keep the skin feeling fresh and to fight back against bacterial woes.
The importance of waxing aftercare
Right after your Male Brazilian Wax Treatment or Manzilian treatment, you’ll want to make sure all the right steps are taken immediately. A cool towel can help remove and refresh the skin, and post-depilatory lotion will then help hydrate the skin.
For 24 hours after the Male Brazilian Wax Treatment, you’ll want to avoid physical activities and stay away from the sun and swimming pools.
But you’ll soon find out that male waxing is a thing of glory. Trust us.
