What We Call A BROzilian?

What “BROzilian” Means

A BROzilian is a male-only Brazilian-style hair removal service that includes the entire intimate region, not just the front. When performed correctly, it is a front-to-back service, delivered clinically and professionally.

Clients choose a BROzilian for hygiene, comfort, aesthetics, athletics, or medical reasons.

How BROzilian Differs From European and Bikini

Clear terminology matters. These services differ by coverage and gender, not just name.

BROzilian (Male Only)

A full intimate service, front to back.

Includes:

  • Pubic mound and pelvic region
  • Penile shaft
  • Scrotum (sac)
  • Perineum
  • Perianal area
  • Buttocks, including both cheeks

Anything less than this is not a full BROzilian.

European (Male or Female)

A European is an intimate hair removal service for males or females that excludes the buttocks.

Includes:

  • Pubic mound and pelvic region
  • External genital area
  • Scrotum (male) or labial area (female)
  • Perineum
  • Perianal area

Does not include:

  • Buttocks or buttocks cheeks

A European is front and underside intimate hair removal, without buttocks coverage.

Bikini (Male or Female)

A Bikini service is a contour and clean-up service, not full intimate hair removal.

Includes:

  • Hair visible outside swimwear
  • Hair along the upper inner thighs
  • Hair that extends out the sides when wearing a bikini or speedo

Does not include:

  • Full pubic mound removal
  • Genital clearance
  • Perineum or perianal area
  • Buttocks

This service focuses on edge definition, not clearance.

Areas Included in a Full BROzilian

To be explicit, a complete BROzilian includes:

  • Pubic mound and pelvic region
  • Penile shaft
  • Scrotum (sac)
  • Perineum
  • Perianal area
  • Buttocks, including both cheeks

Anything less should be clearly labeled as a partial service.

Pain Varies by Area, Not Courage

Pain during a BROzilian is anatomical, not psychological. Nerve density, skin thickness, follicle depth, and hair type matter more than tolerance.

Most Sensitive Area

Pelvic / pubic region

  • Thick, deeply rooted hair
  • Dense nerve endings
  • Highest friction and tension

Consistently the most uncomfortable area, regardless of method.

Moderate Sensitivity

Perineum and perianal area

  • Thin skin
  • High nerve awareness
  • Sensation varies widely person to person

Often more tolerable than expected with proper pacing.

Typically Less Painful Areas

Penile shaft

  • Softer skin
  • Lower follicle density
  • Brief, manageable discomfort

Scrotum (sac)

  • Thin, elastic skin
  • Easier hair release
  • Usually milder sensation than the pubic mound

Buttocks and cheeks

  • Thicker skin
  • Lower nerve density
  • Typically the least painful part of a BROzilian

Discomfort here is more related to positioning and post-treatment friction than removal itself.

Why This Pain Pattern Exists

  • Thick hair hurts more than thin hair
  • Deeply anchored follicles hurt more than mobile skin
  • Skin under tension hurts more than skin that stretches

This is why the pelvic mound is hardest for most clients and buttocks are usually easiest.

Should You Trim or Shave Before Your Appointment?

It depends entirely on the method. Hair length affects effectiveness and safety, not pain.

Pain comes from the follicle and surrounding nerves below the skin, not from the hair shaft above it. Trimming or shaving does not reduce discomfort.

Hair Length by Method

Waxing

  • Leave hair at its natural length
  • Trim only if excessively long

Wax needs length to grip. Over-trimming causes breakage, more passes, and more irritation.

Electrolysis

  • Hair must be trimmed short but visible
  • Do not shave

Each follicle must be seen and isolated to be treated. Shaved hair cannot be treated until it regrows.

Laser Hair Removal

  • Shave clean to the skin 24 hours before

Surface hair absorbs heat and increases burn risk. Shaving protects the skin and improves accuracy.

Method Still Matters

  • Waxing: Sharp pain highest in the pelvic region, usually milder on buttocks
  • Laser: Heat sensation peaks where hair is densest
  • Electrolysis: Cumulative discomfort highest on the pubic mound

Technique and pacing matter more than tolerance.

Managing Pain Effectively

Pain should be managed, not endured.

What helps:

  • Proper preparation
  • Controlled pacing
  • Ice and cooling
  • Good sleep and hydration

These reduce inflammation and improve tolerance across all areas.

Final Thoughts

A BROzilian is a defined, male-only, full intimate service that includes the buttocks. European and Bikini services are male or female options with more limited coverage and should not be confused with it.

Pelvic hair removal is the most uncomfortable.
Perineal and anal areas are sensitive but manageable.
Penile shaft, scrotum, and buttocks are typically less painful.

Hair length should match the method, not pain myths:

  • Leave length for waxing
  • Trim for electrolysis
  • Shave for laser

Clear definitions, correct preparation, and anatomical understanding remove fear and improve outcomes.
