What Makes Good Profile Pictures on WAX
Photos are central to almost every profile. You can upload up to six pictures in your public gallery, one of which becomes your main profile photo. You only need one photo to join chat groups, but members with more photos tend to make more connections.
Here’s how to make those six photos count:
Show your face Your first photo should ideally be a clear picture of your face. People connect more easily when they can see who they’re speaking to. Avoid hats, sunglasses or heavy edits that obscure your face — these may lead to your photo being removed.
Include a full‑body photo A full‑body picture helps others get a sense of your style and personality. Indoors, outdoors, dressed up or relaxed — choose something that feels natural to you.
Smile Smiling helps you appear approachable and friendly. It makes your profile feel more welcoming.
Show your interests Include a photo that reflects something you enjoy — travel, cooking, fitness, art, nightlife, or any hobby. Shared interests make great conversation starters.
Express your style WAX allows more freedom than traditional dating apps. If you want to include a photo that reflects your personal style or identity, you can do so in a way that feels comfortable and appropriate for you.
Photos with others (with consent) You may include other people in your photos as long as you are also in the picture and they have given explicit consent. Any image that appears non‑consensual may be removed without explanation.
What Not to Do
Before you finalise your gallery, avoid these common pitfalls:
Avoid sunglasses in every photo Make sure at least one photo clearly shows your eyes. This helps build trust and connection.
Skip group photos Keep your gallery focused on you. Partnered accounts may include both partners. Pets are fine — but expect compliments.
Keep explicit content appropriate Nudity above the waist is allowed for all genders — #freethenipple. Highly explicit or pornographic content should be kept to private chats or community groups where permitted. Anything considered NSFW will be moved to connections‑only visibility. The public feed must remain SFW.
Memories and Stories
Memories stay on your profile grid until you delete them. They form part of your long‑term identity on WAX.
Stories appear at the top of Explore and last for 7 days, unless you delete them sooner. They do not stay on your grid.
Anything you post to Explore will also appear on your profile grid, unless removed.
Final Thoughts
Building your WAX profile should feel enjoyable and expressive. Your photos help people understand who you are, what you enjoy and how you connect with others. A thoughtful gallery makes your profile more engaging and helps you form meaningful connections across the community.
