It’s important to wait at least 24 hours after getting a Brazilian wax before having s*x or receiving oral pleasure for several reasons, primarily related to skin health, hygiene, and avoiding complications:
1. Skin Sensitivity and Irritation
•Waxing removes hair from the root and also exfoliates the top layer of skin, leaving the area extra sensitive, raw, and more prone to irritation.
•Friction from s*x can exacerbate this irritation, leading to redness, chafing, or discomfort.
2. Increased Risk of Infection
•After waxing, hair follicles are open and exposed, creating a pathway for bacteria to enter.
•Sexual activity introduces bodily fluids and friction, which can increase the chance of bacterial infections, folliculitis, or even s*xually transmitted infections (STIs) if the skin barrier is compromised.
3. Inflammation and Ingrown Hairs
•The process of waxing can cause temporary inflammation. Adding more friction too soon can worsen it, possibly leading to ingrown hairs or prolonged redness and bumps.
4. Better Healing Time
•Giving your skin a full 24 hours helps it to calm down, close up the pores and recover enough to reduce the risks mentioned above.
