I have public hair growing down on the
inside of my thighs. I have to shave it
off daily and I get red ingrown hairs.
I've also used Nair. Therefore I try not
to wear a swimsuit. I have thought about
shaving my whole pubic area and around the
anus too but am afraid I will cut myself.
Anyone got any ideas?

I had a bit of a giggle when I saw you
typing error: ‘public’ hair. Yes, that
is ultimately what it is when you don’t
shave. I have the same problem. The rash
is as good as a neon sign saying: guess
who shaved in a very private place
yesterday?
I used tea tree oil on the effected area,
and it helped tremendously, but I had
laser therapy that solved the problem
eventually.
Ps. Not a good idea to shave everywhere.
The hair will only grow back darker and
courser.

second time round its easy so dont be put

ooooooooo NO! i too got tired of shaving
down there...i bought myself some Nair
wax....OW OW OW OW OW...that was the most
painful thing EVER! If you do it, go get
it done..I would advise you not to do it
yourself...i left one wax strip on for 15
minutes bc the first one was just SO
painful to me and i just didn't want to
pull it off...leaving it on for that long
wasnt a good idea..it just prolonged the
agony...i will never..ever get anything
other than my eyebrows waxed again..period
I personally stick to nair and the razor,
i just make sure I have plenty of shave
cream

I'm all about waxing! Been doing it for
years and would never, ever go back to
shaving. To say the first time is
painful, is an UNDERSTATEMENT! LOL It
kills. But the more you go the less it
hurts. I'm to the point now where I only
have to go ever 8 weeks!! The hair is
much thinner and softer. Almost feels
like peach fuzz : )
If your uncomfortable with waxing and
still want to shave........ try TEND
SKIN.
YOu should be able to find it at any
higher end salon that does waxing. Put
it on every day after the shower. You
will see a HUGE improvement!!!
Good Luck!!

Try an emjoy, that's what i use (electric)
Or waxing. It's better than shaving. It
lasts longer too. Or you could go for
electrolisis (laser hair removal like
Beline)which is a fantastic idea and I
hope to do it someday.

I shave it all!!!! For some reason, I have
always thought it disgusting to have hair
anywhere down there. I refuse to wax
because I had my upper lip done once and
left thinking the salon ought to be
brought up on charges of torture! I had
several friends who had laser therapy
done... I've had my first treatment and
look forward to the next 3 or 4. I can't
wait for the day I am hair free. YIPPEE
However, it is not
pain free either. It is quick though and
does not linger like the sting from the
waxing.
