One piece swimsuit
Could it be something to do with a one-piece swimsuit? Having said that though, this still does not sound familiar in the context of hair removal.

Brazilian bikini depilation, removal of hair along the (full) bikini line
Just a quick note to say that with a cream, you ought to use "depilation" rather than "epilation", the latter being removal from roots, ie permanant, which is not the case with a cream.
“epilation” is for hair removal with the root of the hair (electrolysis etc.)
“depilation” is for a more superficial removal (creams, sprays, mousse etc.)
Hair removal is much more commonly used.
However, “bikini line” is just that, removal of the hairs which appear beyond the bikini.

However, “intégrale” means complete removal of all unwanted hair whether it strays beyond the lines of the bikini or not, removal of all, or almost all, pubic hair. You can chose from a variety of terms :
- complete bikini line
- pubic hair removal
- Brazilian depilation
- Brazilian bikini depilation
- A Brazilian wax
