STICKY SITUATION
I’m a bikini waxer & we can tell your secrets when you come in – we know when you’ve been getting frisky, here’s how
And yes, they can tell if you haven't been following the aftercare
WHILE some of us like to embrace the natural bush down there, others prefer to have a more smooth and softer feel.
But did you know your waxer can tell an awful lot about you, including what you've been up to the night before, simply by looking at what's hiding under your panties?

That's right, according to one beauty whizz, Jessica Normanton, there's no hiding any secrets when you're popping in for a bikini wax - and they even know if you've been enjoying a pre-sleep romp.
Taking to TikTok, the 29-year-old blonde, from Halifax, West Yorkshire, spilled the beans on clients' secrets and the vital clues that give it all away.

''If you come to an appointment the night after having sex, we know,'' she chuckled in .
''During an intimate wax, you don't wear knickers. So if you've done sex the night before your appointment and there's some kind of leakage, we're gonna see that.

Shaving in-between visits
By now, most of us know that you shouldn't shave in-between your wax appointments, as it can lead to uneven hair growth, ingrown hairs and even skin irritation.
But if you've gone behind your waxer's back and have reached for that razor, there's no fooling the pro - they'll be able to tell.
''Don't tell us 'No, no, I've let it to grow since the last wax'.

''You haven't! Why is it now stubbly again? Why is it thick and why is it coarse? You shaved.''
To get the ultimate smooth finish, the blonde stunner urged beauty lovers to ditch the razor in-between the appointments and ''let the bush grow''.

Not following aftercare
We all know that life gets busy sometimes and it's difficult to keep on top of things - but looking after your lower half after a waxing appointment is essential.
As well as exfoliating between three to four times a week, the expert advised to moisturise every single day.
''If you tell me you've been doing that and I can see dry, flaky little patches on your skin, I know you're lying.
''Just do the aftercare.''
Why women should wear bikinis no matter their age or shape
IF you think you should hide your body this summer - think again!
Fabulous Magazine's Fashion Director, Tracey Lea Sayer has
Times have changed since 2015 when Protein World spent £250,000 on an ad campaign of a slim 20-something bikini clad model asking the reader “Are you beach body ready?” The uproar that followed about the objectification of women was global. Branded offensive, irresponsible and harmful, the verdict on the campaign and the social media uproar was well documented, and rightly so.
Now, I am happy to say that all sizes of women are represented in swimwear across the media landscape. Brands like JD Williams, In The Style and New Look, to name just a few, all work with models of all sizes and ages to promote their swimwear.
My social media feed is also full of ladies of all ages and sizes looking Fabulous in their swimmies. What started out as a trickle of shy bikini-clad selfies has now become a body-positive movement that makes us all feel good to get into our swimwear.
And why shouldn’t we! Our bodies are all completely different and we should be celebrating that fact.
At 53, I love bikinis, I love having an all over tan in the summer with as few white bits as possible. I don’t want to dumb myself down as I get older, I want to celebrate that I am still here! My aim is to keep on wearing bikinis well into my 80s if I am lucky enough to get there.
I have learnt to love the aging process. I will never look like I did in my 20s again, but I do enjoy looking after myself way more than I did back then. A better diet, more exercise and a lot of self-care makes me feel good on the inside as well as the outside.
I love that other cultures like to celebrate their elders. I think we should embrace this in western society instead of just fetishizing youth.
Aging isn’t something to be feared but embraced.
Wear the damn bikini, I am going to!
Jessica found herself homeless at 16, with no money and no parents to support her.
However, she turned her life around after she was fostered and decided to follow her dream of owning her own successful business.
Sharing advice to others, she said: "If you want to do something but you're a bit too scared, and it's a bit of a risk and a bit scary for you to put yourself in that environment, just do it.
"Just do it because I can tell you now, you will sit back and look and think, I'm so glad I did that, I'm so glad I took that risk.
"I have gone from being homeless to now running a business that I love.
"I love my job. I never get up and think, I've got to go to work and I'm not even just saying that, I genuinely do.
