I use a man's hair clippers (I bought my own) and keep it short - about 1/4-1/2 inch. I had a bad experience with scissors once; will spare you the details! I also get waxed a few times a year but I usually procrastinate too long and the wax ladies hate me for it. I've been talked into shaving completely for an ex, but I won't do that again - the itchiness when it grows back is unbearable. I don't do shapes, but I suppose if I were in the dating scene and someone was into it, I'd consider getting a shape waxed.
