How to Embrace Your Bikini Line Without Feeling Like a Wild Animal

As someone who’s navigated the often confusing world of bikini grooming, I can tell you that my first experience with waxing was a bit of a disaster. I had a mix-up with the aesthetician and left feeling like I’d undergone a complete makeover that my friend humorously dubbed “full baby.” While the sensation of hairlessness can feel refreshing, I quickly realized that it also led to an odd feeling of vulnerability, as if I were constantly aware of my own body in a way that felt unbalanced. That little patch of hair was part of my identity, a marker of my silhouette that made me feel more like myself.

Over time, I’ve tried various approaches to grooming. I’ve stuck to simple perimeter trimming, gone for full Brazilian waxes, and even contorted myself in ways that made me wonder if I was getting my pancreas waxed! But here’s the bottom line: women should do whatever makes them feel comfortable without worrying about societal pressures. This summer, as swimsuit season rears its head once more, we’re bombarded with advice about hair removal techniques—sugaring versus waxing, the dangers of shaving, and the idea that you must be perfectly groomed before hitting the beach. However, I’m here to say that I’ve spent zero dollars on hair removal this year, not out of any political stance, but simply because I’ve chosen to be a bit lazy. And guess what? My dark hair hasn’t caused any drama at the beach.

With a few simple tricks, you can also reclaim your time and money spent on grooming and instead bask in the sun like you deserve.

Tip #1: Invest in Some Clippers

I use a lavender Lady Remington clipper, which is essentially a beard trimmer that’s perfect for tidying things up. Set it to the closest setting and quickly shear away any unruly hair—this takes just five minutes and is safe to use.

Tip #2: Shave Your Legs, Only If Necessary

My dark hair and pale skin mean that my inner thighs can get a bit hairy. I keep my lower legs shaved year-round, and during the summer, I use shaving cream on my thighs. However, I steer clear of the more sensitive areas to avoid irritation. A good-quality razor, like the Gillette Atra, is a must for a smooth finish.

Tip #3: Opt for Retro Swimwear

I prefer bathing suit bottoms with a modest cut. They’re not only comfortable and flattering, but they also do a great job of hiding any stray hairs in the inner thigh area. If you happen to love skirts, they’re an adorable option that can provide extra coverage.

Tip #4: Stylish Cover-Ups Are Your Best Friend

Do you have a chic scarf or sarong that you can tie around your hips? What about a cute beach cover-up that gives you a bit more coverage? From beach capris with skirts to elegant terry cloth rompers, these options allow you to enjoy the sun without worrying about your grooming routine. And if you’re feeling bold, why not embrace a vintage look with a full-coverage bathing costume? It’s a whole lot better than spending big bucks on painful hair removal that lasts only a month.

If all of these grooming tips sound too tedious, consider going au naturel. Honestly, I think it looks perfectly fine, and I often wonder why there’s such pressure to hide our natural hair. Even waxing enthusiasts are jumping on the trend of embracing more hair with the full-bush Brazilian becoming increasingly popular.
