i shave it all off sometimes... well... on two occasions now lol. i actually prefer it when it is about half a centemeter long. so its just past the prickly stage but still short. so there is SOME protection for my poor parts rubbing on the seams of my jeans lol. i've been contemplating using my epilady to tidy up the edges. perhaps doing more than just the edges quite gradually over time... but i'm a little worried about lumps and bumps and ingrown hairs. it does a good job on my armpits but i do need to be careful about pulling the skin really taught or it munches up my armpit in the tweezers :-( wouldn't want that happening down there :-(
this is above the waist but i actually got up the courage to epilate my arms the other day. mostly because of of the girls from work was saying that she didn't want to take her jumper off because she needed to wax her arms. so we talked about hair removal on arms and seems more women do that than i had thought... i've always been really self conscious about the long, fine hair on my arms. didn't want to shave, though, because people quite often touch my arms. epilation worked pretty well except... i have to be careful to remember not to scratch my arms (they do feel a little itchy) otherwise... my arms break out in bumps all over. sigh. no perfect solution, i guess... |

Wax is the only solution.
Unles you'e cool with the laser stuff. Never shave your bikini. Wax is the best beacuse it slows down hair growth a lot. Must get beautician that puts the wax straight onto the skin - no gauze or strips. Less pain and less aggrevation of the hairs (meaning they don't grow back as fast). I cannot be bothered with anything but my beautician; she knows how to do it a lot better than I do, and she sees vaginas every day so I am not embarrassed even though I don't really like ppll touching me |

Yep, I'm all for waxing!!
I don't get it all taken off. Just narrowed down to some "racing stripes" and the patch in the front. Waxing hurts, but that only really lasts while I'm getting waxed. By the time I get in the car to go home I don't even notice. It helps to take an Advil or Aleve or some sort of pain reliever about an hour before you go. Not only do I stay smooth longer, the hair isn't coming back as thick.. I do have to pay my beautician to do it for me. I tense up too much if I'm the one doing the pulling 'cause I KNOW when it's coming. Not so bad if someone else does it. I do still shave my pits, and I trim what's left over down there. __________________ They don't ever lock ya up for thinking crazy - they only get ya for actin' crazy! And just 'cause I'm paranoid doesn't mean they aren't really out to get me... |

I have started using the epilator and it is working out really well. It HURTS LIKE HELL - don't get me wrong, but then my pits did to start with too. My pits are GREAT now. They feel really smooth and soft (and not stubbly prickly like they used to when I shaved. And the hair all grows back at different rates so it isn't painful to just touch them up every four days or so (and it actually takes me less time than shaving). But initially... I had to do just a tiny little section at a time and then knock it off for a day. Same thing with this, basically. But I'm looking forward to it all being smooth like my pits :-)
I think a racing stripe looks weird... But then I think all off looks weird too... But the closer I get the more I worry about my epilator munching things it really shouldn't... So... I'm going with all off at this stage... But... It is weird, yeah. And if bf's beard is scrapy then it will have to grow back... |
