In the past, swimmers were often the only men who regularly scheduled waxing. However, “manscaping” has since become a common practice for guys who want to look and feel their best. Many men note how attractive and clean they feel after waxing, while also enjoying the time-saving benefits. Routine hair removal services mean less time spent shaving not only because the hair takes longer to reappear, but because it grows back thinner. If you’re thinking about waxing, here are four areas to consider.

4 Waxing Options for Men

1. Back & Chest

While plenty of men keep their chest hair, it can still benefit from deliberate grooming. Waxing the chest is especially popular among swimmers, as well as surfers, bodybuilders, and models. Keeping the back hair-free is a personal grooming goal that many males strive for. It improves their confidence, whether they’re on a date or at the beach. 

2. Nostrils & Ears

As men age, dihydrotestosterone (the hormone that causes male pattern baldness) can cause hair growth in their noses and ears. These vellus hairs are coarser, longer, and darker. Waxing eliminates awkward nose and ear hairs to help men feel extra confident about aging in style.

3. Arms & Legs

Some men have naturally hairy arms and legs, and grooming them through traditional means like shaving can be tedious. Waxing reduces the amount of hair on these extremities over time, so there is no need to feel self-conscious even if growth is present. Much like chest and back hair removal, leg and arm hair elimination also reduces the drag swimmers, runners, and many other athletes wish to avoid.

4. Buttocks & Brazilian

Removing hair from the backside is yet another possibility, including hair from between the buttocks. Other “down there” grooming options include the Brazilian, which isn’t just for women. Many men schedule Brazilian waxes to keep their lower bodies well-groomed, which their partners can appreciate as well.
