New Jersey is drawing the line when it comes to bikini waxing. The state Board of Cosmetology and Hairstyling is moving toward a ban on genital waxing altogether after two women reported being injured in their quest for a smooth bikini line. Both women were hospitalized for infections following so-called "Brazilian" bikini waxes; one of the women has filed a lawsuit. Genital waxing can be dangerous in that the hot wax can irritate or tear delicate skin in the bikini area, resulting in infections, ingrown hairs and rashes. Despite such risks, millions of American women - and some men - choose to have the hair down there ripped away. Spa owner Linda Orsuto estimates that most of 1,800 bikini waxes performed at her business last year were Brazilian-style. She said many customers would likely travel across state lines to get it and some might even try to wax themselves.
