How often do you shave or trim down there? It's itchy when it grows in but I'm tired of shaving! Do men really care, u think?

Do you think the more you shave, the more prickly it gets?

I personally like it smooth. I know the packaging says not too, but I use hair removal cream. Mild burning once in a while, but well worth it.

I think if you don't have a partner you can just leave it..unless you're going swimming..then getting rid of the bikini line hair would be in order.

In the winter I don't really bother with shaving my armpits or legs....i'm a a lazy mare at times. Def not high maintenance.

I'm lucky and don't have a lot of body hair(if only my upper lip would get with the program ). So mine isn't too bad no matter what I do or don't do. I always leave how I groom it up to my partner.

Been with my hubby for 8 years and he prefers no grooming. And I quote "You are an adult woman. You are supposed to have hair. Adults with no hair is just creepy." It freaks him out that my legs don't grow hair. I mean I almost never got hair on my legs in the first place but about 6 years ago it just stopped altogether.

So I guess the answer to the question is I never do. If he dies and I get with someone else it will be up to them.

I use a trimmer to keep it looking nice. I trim it whenever it starts to look unkempt or bush-like.
Thanks for this!

doggiedo, your post made me smile/laugh! The things we do as women can be exhausting! I am all for keeping it neat and trimmed girl! Single or married it matters! so for your answer I shave almost every day and for the other areas weekly landscaping is imperative!!!

I use it every other week or so. Do NOT use shaving cream with your trimmer! It is completely different from a razor. I got mine for $20 on amazon and you can find some cheaper.

I cannot shave or wax down there as I break out horribly no matter what I apply to it and how I do it... bumps. So I use hair removal cream lol, it doesn't break me out. Most of the time though I keep it trimmed because I like the look of it

I try to do it every 2 days. If I do it every day like I used to I got some blisters very uncomfortable.
