Any help given will be appreciated! I am afraid of sharp things near my nether regions. The area around my C section scar is completely numb so I have to be careful that I don't cut myself.
Six laser treatments 6-8 weeks apart and the vast majority of my hair there should be gone. YAY |
Hey, ...um...not sure the best way to compliment shaving your pubes, but...good for you!
I've been shaving my pubes for several years now. Probably since middle school/freshman year. It's really not that hard and I shave wherever there is hair.
The way I shave is that I shave it all off once a month or two so there is a decent amount of hair to shave off. It's alot different from shaving your legs, but it's not rocket science. Yes, I get knicked when I shave, but it's no big deal--doesn't sting, just a little blood, nothing to worry about. Expect to be shaving for a half hour to 45 minutes since you are new to shaving your pubes and expect to go through one to two razors. Be patient, it can be a little frustrating due to all the hair. Shave while showering so that you can rinse off the razor and the bikini area. The hardest part for me is the labia because it is harder to see and you need to pull the outer and inner labia out so you shave it evenly. You can stand or sit in the tub while shaving. I end up doing both for different parts I'm shaving.
So...how to shave? I am an avid Girls Life reader so that is where I learned to shave. Let me go and pull up the article for you...brb...
edit: the article is in one of my many magazines and I'm not gonna go searching for it...
I just googled how to shave pubic hair and this popped up. It's straight forward, i would skip number 2 because I don't use special scissors for the pubic area and I do not use shaving gel because hot running water is just as effective. Good luck!
