She began by explaining that women may unknowingly be wiping incorrectly, which can result in stool being transferred due to not properly cleaning their private areas.
Women are generally taught to wipe front to back to prevent this, but Rachel claims that not everyone seems to follow this advice.
She says this is the most common issue she encounters, noting that it not only creates a foul-smelling experience but also increases the risk of a urinary tract infection (UTI).

Rachel also mentions that some clients leave traces of toilet paper behind, which adds to the problem.
She adds that if you are 'sexually active' with your partner before your appointment, 'chances are high that we know.'
Rachel explained that clients often tense up during the procedure, which can cause bodily fluids to be released. She urges people to be 'mindful' when preparing for these services.

How to prepare for a bikini wax
IF you're thinking of booking a bikini wax, here's how you can prepare.
Choose the Right Time:
Schedule your appointment at least a week after your menstrual cycle when your pain threshold is higher.
Exfoliate:
Gently exfoliate the bikini area a day or two before your wax to remove dead skin cells and prevent ingrown hairs.
Trim Hair:
Ensure hair is about 1/4 inch long; if it's longer, trim it down for a smoother waxing process.
Avoid Caffeine and Alcohol:
Steer clear of caffeine and alcohol on the day of your appointment as they can tighten pores and increase sensitivity.
Take a Pain Reliever:
Consider taking an over-the-counter pain reliever about 30 minutes before your appointment to help minimise discomfort.
Wear Loose Clothing:
Opt for loose-fitting clothes on the day of your waxing to avoid irritation post-treatment.
Communicate with Your Aesthetician:
Don't hesitate to discuss any concerns or questions with your aesthetician before the session begins.
Stay Hydrated:
Drink plenty of water leading up to your appointment to keep your skin hydrated and more supple.
