Vajazzling, the latest trend in Swarovski crystal vaginal bejewelment, debuted on the national vaginal stage this January. And somehow, it has not yet retreated to the dark recesses of minor celebrity Jennifer Love Hewitt’s panties, from which it came. Vajazzling has reinvigorated Hewitt’s celebrity (”It shined like a disco ball”). Vajazzle specialists are popping up everywhere (”Aww, c’mon, this is gonna be great by the time you’re all done Vajazzling!”). Vajazzling has even caused one man, who we will call Jason, to look directly at a vagina (”It’s mesmerizing . . . This is probably the longest I’ve ever stared at a vagina”).
Vajazzling (or Vagazzling) is a crazy new trend in below the belt beauty that is stirring up some serious media attention, thanks to Jennifer Love Hewitt. Jennifer appeared on the George Lopez show in January where she revealed her love of vajazzling. She loves to vajazzle so much, that she wrote an entire chapter on this peculiar beauty practice in her new book “The Day I Shot Cupid”. Vajazzling is a form of Brazilian bikini wax where stick-on Swarovski crystals are applied to the skin after hair removal. Yep, you read that right; vajazzling is bling for your girl parts. I wish I was making this stuff up, but it’s true! Jennifer described the appearance of the bikini trend by stating that “it shined like a disco-ball” and went on to recommend that all girls should try vajazzling their “precious lady”. The strange beauty fad also made an appearance on the TV show, The Doctors, where Dr. Lisa Masterson described vajazzling as a fun and safe alternative to piercing. This bikini grooming trend isn’t for everyone, and most women, like myself, find it more laugh worthy than intriguing. But for all you brave girls out there who want to give vajazzling a try, here’s how you do it.
Step 1
Purchase a stick-on crystal body tattoo in your favorite design and color. Crystal tattoos come in designs such as hearts, stars and butterflies. You can find these in the makeup section of most stores, but to get real Swarovski crystal tattoos, you’ll need to order online. Swarovski retired their line of body crystals recently, so they are very hard to find. See the resources section below to find where you might can still get them.
Step 2
Start by shaving or waxing your bikini area completely. Be sure to clean the area very well after you shave or wax. Stickers stay on clean skin better than skin that has product residue or lotions on it. When finished, pat the area dry with a soft towel.
Step 3
Apply the crystal stickers to the upper part of your bikini area only. For instance, if your private region was represented by the letter V, you would only stick the crystals on the very top part of the V. Don’t go anywhere near the bottom part of the letter with those crystals!
Step 4
To remove the vajazzle crystals, simply peel them off gently. If they are too stuck to the skin to comfortably peel off, apply a little babyoil to dissolve the glue for easier removal.
Decorate your “down” area!
Jennifer Love Hewitt recently decorated her nether regions with Swarovski crystals, turning her naughty bits into — her words — a “pink disco ball.”
It’s called Vajazzling. Like Bedazzling, you know? That infomercial about putting rhinestones on your clothes? Only this is no denim vest enhanced by a handheld machine that you can get for just $19.95 if you call right now. With vajazzling, you go into a high-end salon, get waxed bare, and are bejewled below the belt.
You know, I’m not sure which surprised me more: That Hewitt did it; that she went on national television and told everyone about it; or that such an activity exists at all. But there she was on The George Lopez Show letting it all hang out. OK — not literally, of course. But she was talking all about it. She was so proud and giggly. She said she did it after a break-up to lift her spirits, and apparently it worked. Hewitt also shared her vajazzling tale on Chelsea Lately, The View and The Joy Behar Show. Girlfriend gets around.
The procedure goes something like this: You choose your design and they wax you bare as the day you were born. Then the design is hand-glued, crystal by crystal, or a crystal “tattoo” is applied. Generally, the vajazzling is done just above the, well, key player, as it were. Having it done any further down is not recommended, though from Hewitt’s description, it sounds like she went all out. Some women have a very small, simple design done high enough that low-slung jeans will reveal a glimmer. But the real thing is as low as you dare to go. Basically, where the hair was, now there are crystals.
Completely Bare in New York City, which claims to have originated the service and the name, offers a variety of designs starting at $115, including the wax. One design, a beautiful padlock on a chain, costs $750.
So, in the name of journalism, I decided I had to get vajazzled myself. Unfortunately, I don’t live in NYC and so Completely Bare wasn’t an option on such short notice.
After much research, I found a salon where I live in Dallas, Texas, that has just started doing the procedure. But after several failed attempts to get an appointment, I decided I had no choice but to do it myself.
You can order the crystal tattoos directly from Completely Bare spa or get them from a variety of other suppliers. But I – don’t laugh – happened to already have one. I stayed at a very sexy hotel in Paris called the Hotel Sezz, and body décor is one of the things available in the mini bar. The ones I had on hand were actually made by Bijoux Indiscrets for decorating one’s breasts. But the concentric circle pattern seemed like it would do just fine for vajazzling too.
So, after preparing my, ahem, canvas, I asked my significant other to give me a hand. Peel, position, press, and release. Viola, I was all jazzled! I have to admit, the whole idea seemed kind of kooky. But, you know what? It looks really great. Rather sexy, if I do say so myself. It certainly wasn’t how I expected to spend my Monday afternoon. But, hey, I’m all for an adventure. And my lover dug it too. The whole experiment led to a little fooling around, in fact, during which no crystals were harmed.
I’m sure going to the salon is a bit of a different experience. But having had a Brazilian wax a number of times, I feel confident saying that being vajazzled couldn’t possibly be more intimate or bizarre. It’s still a stranger you’re paying to tidy things up and make you look pretty in a spot the general public is not welcome to view. The process may be weird, but the result is worth it.
Plenty of people will – or do – take issue with vajazzling. But I can’t see why. It’s harmless, as far as I can tell. Does it objectify women? Nope. Only other people can do that, not a simple salon service. A few well-placed jewels accomplish pretty much the same thing as sexy lingerie. If it makes a woman feel good, I’m all for it.
I’ve been vajazzled for a few days now and the adhesive is still going strong (although the instructions say you should leave the decals on for only eight hours. Yikes). Completely Bare says its version lasts at least five days. My next trip to New York City, I am definitely paying them a visit.
Most of the day, I completely forget I’m vajazzled. But when I do remember, it makes me smile. Having those clandestine crystals makes me kind of feel like a rock star. Only I get to decide who can see it, and I feel – don’t laugh – a little bit like my naughty bits have super powers.

Vajazzling starts out with a standard bikini wax. You may be familiar with that process already. All of your intimate bikini hair must be removed.
Vajacial
After your Brazilian Bikini Wax, you will next go through the process of getting a vajacial. A vajacial is the pampering of your intimate bikini area after the wax and it’s performed in four steps.
Vajacial - Step 1
Your intimate bikini are is cleansed throughly with an antibacterial cleansing and exfoliation solution.
Vajacial - Step 2
The experienced waxer removes your ingrown hairs while looking for bumps and skin irritations to calm and cease.
Vajacial - Step 3
Applications of an anti-freckle, anti-acne mask and lightening cream are applied to prevent future irritation and remove any discolorations.
Vajazzling
After your Brazilian Bikini Wax and Vajacial while you are pretty much sterile and ready to be Vajazzed which takes just a few steps.
Vajazzling - Step 1
The application person will bring out a sheet of small Swarovski crystals that have been heated slightly. The bottom of each crystal has a tough adhesive that’s invisible to the naked eye. You’ll see large and small crystals to aid in your design.
Vajazzling - Step 2
The application person takes each crystal and applies it to your intimate bikini area. The larger ones are applied by hand while the smaller crystals are applied by a tweezer.
Vajazzling - Step 3
After all of the crystals have been applied, the application person uses their hand to press on the crystals for more adhesiveness to the skin. Once secured, they last on an average of about 5 days. You are not to engage in any vigorous activity so they won’t come loose. You can shower and bath with them on, just don’t rub hard on them to break them off from your skin.
Now that you’ve been vajazzled, you can go out and show it off to all of your friends. It’s perfect for the Summer and something so new and exciting, you’ll want to take pictures to put up on your social web sites. So go and get vajazzled.
