ADVICE | How to Wax Your Sack

If you’re hoping for a hairless look around your balls you might want to opt for a waxing…

So if you normally shave your pubic area but you’re wanting a more long-term result you might want to try waxing. There are plenty of salons where you can get a professional to perform a back, sack and crack wax, however, these can tend to be a little expensive. Also, many men might feel intimidated or embarrassed to reveal all to a total stranger, so we asked waxing expert, Fardad Moayeri, the CEO of Parissa, for some top tips on waxing your ball sack in the comfort of your own home.

SPREAD YOUR LEGS

Unless you’ve had anti-wrinkle plastic surgery on your sack, the skin on and around your sack can be quite loose. Waxing loose skin can be painful so the key is to keep the skin extremely taught during hair removal. One of the best ways to do this is to lie on the back and spread your legs open (like a frog laying on it’s back). This will stretch the skin around your sack.

FROM THE OUTSIDE IN

Start waxing from the outside and work your way in. move your sack out of the way of the side you’re working on and flip it over when working on the other side.

AND STRETCH

Hold and flip your sac up for getting the hairs under the sack. When waxing your sack, make sure you’re stretching the skin as much as possible. Try holding your marbles and pulling the skin to one side or the other, this will help keep the skin tight. The tighter the skin… the less the pain!

LIFT AND PART

BLOOD?

Don’t panic if you see pinpoints of blood where your hair has been removed. Pubic hair is coarse and deep rooted. However, if you’re bleeding heavily, go see your doctor.

THREE THINGS TO REMEMBER

1) The key point that makes all the difference: press-on strips IN DIRECTION of hair growth. Zip-off in the OPPOSITE direction of hair growth.

2) The quicker the strip is removed the better the results.

3) If you’ve got long hairs…trim them to about 0.5cm.
