What is a manzilian wax?

A manzilian wax is a professional hair removal treatment for men that focuses on the private areas. This can include the penis, scrotum, area between the buttocks and the butt cheeks. The word “manzilian” comes from the “Brazilian” wax, which is usually for women. During the process, warm wax is put on the skin, left to cool a little, and then quickly pulled off to remove hair from the root. This leaves the skin smooth and hair-free for several weeks.

Male grooming has become more popular in recent years. Many men now want to feel clean, fresh, and confident and waxing is a great way to do that. Whether it’s for hygiene, sports, looks or just personal choice, more men are trying waxing. Unlike shaving, which can cause stubble and irritation, waxing gives longer-lasting and cleaner results. It can also help with sweat and body odor, especially in warm, sweaty areas. The process is fast, usually 30 to 45 minutes, and is done in a private, respectful setting. Licensed estheticians are trained to make you feel comfortable. You can also try waxing at home with products like our Plumeria Hard Wax. This high-quality wax doesn’t need strips and is gentle but strong, perfect for sensitive areas. Its smooth feel and light floral scent make it a great option for beginners or those wanting to improve their routine.

Benefits of manzilian waxing

One of the best things about waxing is how long it lasts. When you shave, hair grows back in just a few days, and it often causes itching or bumps. Waxing removes the hair from the root, so your skin stays smooth for three to six weeks, depending on how fast your hair grows. This means less time spent grooming.

Waxing also helps stop ingrown hairs. Since the hair is pulled out completely, it grows back finer and softer, making it less likely to curl under the skin. This is especially helpful if you have thick or coarse hair. Our Mae Mae Hard Wax is made to grab strong hair but still be gentle on the skin. It’s popular with both professionals and people who wax at home. Another plus is better hygiene. Removing hair in the groin area helps cut down on sweat and bacteria, which can cause smell or irritation. Athletes like runners or cyclists often choose waxing to reduce rubbing and discomfort while moving. It can also give you a confidence boost. Feeling clean and well-groomed can improve how you feel about yourself and make you more comfortable.

How to prepare for your first manzilian wax

Getting ready before your wax can make it more comfortable and successful. First, let your hair grow to about a quarter inch long - around the size of a grain of rice. This helps the wax grip the hair better. If your hair is too short, it won’t work well. If it’s too long, trim it a little to reduce discomfort.

Taking a warm shower before your appointment helps soften the skin and open your pores. You can also lightly scrub the area with  body scrub to remove dead skin and lower the chance of ingrown hairs. Don’t use any lotions, oils or deodorants on the area the day of your wax, as they can stop the wax from sticking. Wear soft, loose clothes after your wax to avoid rubbing or irritation. Cotton underwear or none at all for a few hours can help your skin breathe. Drink plenty of water, and if you’re feeling nervous, bring headphones to listen to music or a podcast to relax. If you wax at home, tools like our 5lb Wax Warmer help keep your wax at the right temperature, so you get a spa experience at home.

What to expect during a manzilian wax appointment

Your appointment will start with a short chat where the esthetician answers your questions and explains everything. You’ll take off your clothes from the waist down and lie on a clean table with disposable sheets. They’ll first clean the area, then put on a special oil to protect your skin. Wax is applied in small parts and pulled off quickly to reduce the pain. They might ask you to help by stretching the skin, it makes the process easier and less painful. Taking deep breaths and staying calm can really help too.The esthetician may use both hard and soft wax, depending on the area. Our Kai Hard Wax is often used for thicker hair like on the scrotum and pubic area. It sets quickly and grabs well while being gentle, which makes it popular among professionals. After waxing, they’ll apply a calming gel or oil to soothe the skin. You’ll also get tips for aftercare and may be recommended products to help your skin heal faster.

Does a manzilian wax hurt?

Yes, there is some pain, especially your first time. But the good news is it doesn’t last long and it gets easier with each session. How much it hurts depends on your pain tolerance, skin type and how skilled the esthetician is. Well-hydrated skin handles waxing better, so drink water the day before and try to avoid caffeine. The more often you wax, the weaker your hair grows back, making the next time hurt less. If you’re very sensitive, a numbing cream used 30 minutes before can help a lot. It’s also better to book your session on a calm day when you’re not stressed or tired. Most people feel the smooth results are worth the brief pain.

Manzilian waxing vs shaving or trimming

Shaving is fast and easy, but it has downsides. Hair grows back quickly, and the sharp edges can cause itching, cuts and irritation. Shaving also increases the chance of getting razor bumps or ingrown hairs. Trimming may reduce bulk but doesn’t give smooth skin or the same hygiene benefits. Waxing gives you smoother skin that lasts longer. It also works as a light exfoliation, taking off dead skin along with the hair. Over time, hair grows back finer, and you might even have less of it. For a simple and strong at-home solution, our Single Wax Warmer is a compact tool that fits into your personal grooming routine with ease.

Aftercare tips for manzilian waxing

Taking care of your skin after a wax is important to avoid irritation and help healing. Keep the area clean and dry for the first 24 hours. Skip hot showers, saunas, and tight clothes right after, as heat and rubbing can cause redness or bumps. You can wash gently with unscented soap, but don’t scrub. After two days, start gently exfoliating with a soft cloth or scrub to prevent ingrown hairs. Use a fragrance-free lotion daily to keep the skin soft. Avoid hard workouts for at least a day, since sweat can make irritation worse. If you’re waxing at home or want to try it, our Chocolate Hard Wax is perfect for sensitive skin. Its creamy formula and pleasant smell make the whole experience easier and more comfortable.

9. How often should you get a manzilian wax?

A good schedule for manzilian waxing is every 4 to 6 weeks. This gives your hair time to grow to the ideal length and ensures a smooth waxing experience. With regular waxing, your hair becomes finer, making future sessions easier and less painful. Over time, your esthetician can help make a waxing plan that suits your individual hair growth and comfort.
