Shaving pubic hair is a sexy trend for a growing number of men and women, but it does require some finesse to do it well. Whether you're male or female, the process is pretty much the same— lose the hair and avoid the irritation. To get going down there, skip to step 1.
Step 1: Pick the right shaving cream
Pubic region is one of the most sensitive parts of the body hence you should be very careful while choosing the shaving cream. Soaps do not form sufficient lather and foams or creams used by men for shaving may not provide sufficient lubrication and protection for your sensitive private parts. Use shaving creams or gels that contain moisturising agents such as aloe vera or vitamin E.
Step 2: Choose a proper razor
It is extremely important to choose an appropriate razor for shaving pubic hair. A cheap disposable razor with a single blade is likely to cause you cuts or nicks on your most sensitive parts and may hurt you immensely. It is recommended that you use multi-bladed razor with a moisturizing strip on its head to give you a smooth, close shave.
Step 3: Trim long hair
To make shaving easier, a good idea would be to trim down pubic hair longer than a quarter of an inch with scissors. Cutting it as short as possible means you will have to deal with less hair while shaving. This will make the shaving process less painful and less messy.
Step 4: Take a warm shower or bath
Always remove pubic hair after a warm shower or after soaking yourself in a hot tub for a few minutes. This will help to open the pores of the skin and soften hair follicles, making it easy for you to remove hairs from the root. Removing pubic hair following a bath also prevents the growth of ingrown hair, a problem women frequently encounter when shaving pubic hair.
Step 5: Exfoliate the skin
Experts also recommend exfoliating to remove dead skin cell to facilitate a closer shave. Use a mild exfoliate or a body wash with a washcloth or loofah sponge on your pubic area.
Step 6: Use a shaving oil
For extra smooth shaving experience, you may apply some shaving oil. This will help razor glide easily over your skin and prevent razor burn, general irritation and ingrown hairs.
Step 7: Apply shaving cream or gel
Apply a generous amount of shaving cream or gel on a damp but not wet skin. You may also use a shaving brush to work up a good lather to ensure a smooth shave.
Step 8: Ready to shave
Using a fresh blade, first move the shaver in the same direction of hair growth and then in opposite direction. Use one hand to pull your skin taut and the other to glide the razor.
Don’t go over the same area too many times to avoid getting a cut. Remember to rinse the blade after every couple of strokes. A clogged razor will not work well. After shaving, rinse pubic area and pat dry with towel. Use cool water to rinse, as it will help to close the pores and follicles, reducing the chance of irritation.
Step 9: Moisturise
Moisturise the freshly shaven pubic area using baby oil, vitamin E or aloe vera. This will help to soothe your skin after the shave and reduce the chance of pimples or razor burn. It is best to avoid moisturizers that contain fragrances and colours, as they may cause irritation.
Some useful tips on shaving pubic hair
• Some women suffer from increased genital sensitivity during menstruation. They must avoid shaving during this period
• You may consider using a small mirror to see well if you are taking off most of your pubic hair
• Moisturise and powder the area daily to avoid irritation
• Try to wear cotton underwear and to stay away from tight fitting pants. The lack of air circulation and friction of tight cloths may lead to in-grown hairs
