Intimate design originated in ancient times, for example, the Egyptians made intimate places with patterns using henna, and the Romans dyed pubic hair.
In Europe, the art of intimate design appeared in the 60's and has been gaining popularity ever since.
Nowadays, there are many ways to decorate an intimate place, but how safe is it? Let's figure it out together.
Wajazling
The newest fashion trend. During this procedure, after waxing, the bikini zone is decorated with Swarovski crystals. Unfortunately, to keep shining pebbles just a day or two, slowly falling off, so a few days half-asleep picture is better to wash off.
How dangerous is this? It is not known how your tender skin reacts to the glue for the rhinestones immediately after waxing. Allergic reactions, rashes and redness are possible. Some doctors advise you to spend more on sexy underwear than to experiment with your body, and even in such a place.
Painting
You can not remove hair in the intimate area, and even vice versa, paint them. The palette in this case can be chosen any.
How dangerous is this? The skin on the pubis is much more sensitive than on the head, so if you decided on such an experiment, try to find a master who will perform the work with natural colors, and be sure to test the reaction to the paint by applying it to other areas of the skin.
Whitening or discoloration
How dangerous is this? First, the idea itself is not the smartest, let's say it's fair. There are other ways to surprise a partner in bed. But some women still resort to this service. If you are also thinking about this, then be careful! This procedure can cause irritation and even chemical burns to the skin.
Brazilian hair removal or just brazilian
Deep hair removal in the bikini area. The name this procedure received from the place where such removal of unwanted hair is the norm. This is understandable, because every year we see bright carnivals of Rio de Janeiro, where girls dance in tiny pieces of cloth called panties.
How dangerous is this? In the first place, it is very painful. Not every man would withstand such agony, but what can you do for the sake of beauty? The most innocuous thing that such a procedure can entail is irritation. Further - better: skin injuries, ingrown hair and infection. Choose the salons where the procedures will be held, very carefully, because first of all you risk your health.
Piercing
Usually the hood of the clitoris is pierced, but the fashion for puncturing the external and internal labia is also common.
How dangerous is this? Puncture of any part of the body is always risky because of the possible infection in the wound. Be sure to react to redness, swelling or swelling after the procedure and immediately consult a doctor if you notice something is amiss.
