Thought You’d Seen It All, Along Comes the Va-J-J Visor!

Lorna was Editor of Consulting Room (www.consultingroom.com), the UK's largest aesthetic information website, from 2003 to 2021.


Marketed as "the world's first vaginal shield for safer hair removal and tanning protection", the Va-j-j Visor is currently being promoted by Australian Bodycare UK Ltd to UK aesthetic clinics offering laser & IPL hair removal treatments.

Originating from America (where else!), the Va-j-j Visor, which we’re reliably informed by its creators is actually pronounced “Va-jay-jay”; not my initial pronunciation I have to admit, has been developed with assistance from a well-respected U.S. gynaecologist.

Believe it or not, and I dare you not to laugh, the creators are very proud of the name that they finally chose for the device, stating:

“We settled on the name after rejecting other possibilities like The Clam Shell, The Beaver Dam, The Bonnie Bonnet, The Hoo Ha Hoodie and The Sister Hood, because we had long referred to this area of our anatomy as our Va j-j.”

So still chuckling? Thought so...

Retailing to the public for approximately £4 for a set of 3, the device is also available in professional salon pack quantities of 125 individually wrapped visors.

Available in 3 colours: hot pink, lime green and purple - yes my first question was why too!

The device is also produced in an opaque white version specifically designed and approved for use during laser/IPL hair removal to avoid any colour absorption from the light wavelength into the rubber which could otherwise cause heating.

So at a time when we’re all supposed to be obsessed with the spread of bacteria and infection; is this really the “perfect hygienic accessory for both therapist and client” or simply another consumable to add to the cost of treatment?

Is such a device even necessary for laser/IPL bikini line hair removal treatments?

Is it just a gimmick, more for client privacy than protection?

Has anyone out there tried it?

Is anyone already offering this product to clients coming for hair removal treatments in their clinic, whether for traditional bikini waxing or laser/IPL sessions or seriously thinking about offering it to clients?
