Where does the bikini line start and end?

You may be asking what are bikini lines and where they start and end.

The bikini line is the lower half of your pubic area. Specifically, the skin around the pubic region is typically covered by your bikini bottom. It’s that zone where your upper thighs meet your pelvis—prime real estate for serious grooming action!

Generally, it starts where the waistband of your bikini or underwear sits on your hips and extends to where the outer edges of the garment meet your skin. The exact boundaries depend on your personal grooming choices and can vary from person to person, making each bikini line uniquely yours!

Bikini line hair removal tips and grooming tricks

When it comes to bikini line hair removal, it’s best to wear your bikini bottoms to see where the hair would be exposed and use that as a guide for shaving or waxing.

It's important to note that the hair in this area is typically coarser than elsewhere. Additionally, the skin here is thin and sensitive, making it more susceptible to irritation. For aftercare tips and advice on preparing for bikini line hair removal, explore Veet’s article, Step-by-step guide to waxing your bikini line.

Bikini line hair removal can be achieved with different techniques and products tailored for every style. Whether you're team waxing or prefer the quick and easy depilatory cream, Veet has something to make your grooming routine a breeze.

Waxing - Waxing is all about saying goodbye to hair from the roots, giving you a smoother and longer-lasting result compared to other hair removal methods. When you wax with Veet^®, you can enjoy that smooth finish for up to 28 days, giving you more time to soak up the sun.
