Hey...For anyone having problems shaving
their bikini area, a great thing to use is
hair cholesterol. It works so great! The
venus razors also work awesome for shaving
down there. You can get cholesterol at
any grocery store or beauty supply store,
it's really cheap for like a tub of it.
It works great for shaving legs and
underarms too. Just put it on and leave
it for a few minutes after a hot shower
and then shave. You can shave the entire
area, if you know how to contort yourself
so you can reach! Sure, you use a lot if
you shave every day, but it's cheaper than
shaving cream and the shave lasts longer -
it doesn't have any alchohol or soap in
it. Trust me ladies, try it! I know
there are a lot of girls (including me)
that hate pubic hair and having razor burn
and stuff - this relieves it a lot, for me
at least, and I have pretty sensitive
skin. So good luck for anyone that wants
to try it.

Hair cholesterol? Where in the store
would it be? That sounds awesome! I
have not found anything so far that really
worked for me. Thanks for the tip! :d

Hey I have another question. It may
sound crazy, but we don't have an
african-american section at any of our
local walmarts. I tried to look online
for hair cholesterol and cannot find it.
Can you tell me who makes it or anything.
I don't mean to be a pain, but I really
want to try it and I cannot find it
anywhere. Thanks!

I googled 'hair cholesterol' and all I
found was a brand of conditioner called
hair cholesterol, and it was a deep
therapy stuff... So maybe thats all it
is?

That could be....I may just have to look
harder. Plus, I forgot she said you
could get it a sally's. We do have one
of those. I will have to look.
Thanks cherry.

to Shave Or Not to Shave Posted: 05-05-04 03:24am
Okay, on a related topic...What proportion
of women out there shave/wax etc?
I've managed to live most of my life with
just the occasional tidy around the edges
during bikini season, maybe a trim every
few weeks to keep things neat (and once I
bleached it, just to see how i'd look as a
natural blonde!).
Now, my current partner is very insistent
on having things bare. He's very keen on
providing oral sex, so I do like to keep
him happy down there! But he's implied
that most women he's been with have shaved
or otherwise depilated. That hasn't been
my experience -- none of my friends do the
totally bare thing, and when i've been in
the changing rooms at the gym, i'm sure I
never noticed any either. Personally, I
think it looks pretty weird shaved -- sort
of prepubescent and naked. And the
stubble is bloody irritating, so I have to
do it all the time! (and I ain't gonna
try waxing for no one!).
What's the view on this????

I shave it all most of the time. It's
scary and takes time, but my hubby prefers
that it be all gone. I don't like to do
it with a new razor, so most of the time I
just shave my legs first and then clean
up. I thought it would be harder than it
actually is though. I like to have it
neat, but with 3 kids I don't always have
the time. But my suggestion is...Don't
use cream or anything, use a lubricated
razor, and shave in the shower.
Good luck,
~jennifer~

Its not actually an african american
section but if you look down where they
keep all their hair products, you will see
it. It is a tub and it will have a black
woman on it lol anyway I use some products
like that too. I use lusters pink sheen
spray I love it. Its like conditioner in
a spray and mostly black women use it for
like dry hair. I have naturally curly
hair so when I dont have time to wash it,
I just spray a lil and it makes it sooo
soft and helps tames my frizzies. And
that cholesterol does work great my sis
uses it and its awesome it makes
everything extremly soft. I almost
forgot about it but thanks for bringing it
up now I can get some cuz I like to shave
down there but then somtimes I dont cuz I
hate the razor burn I get I have very
sensitive skin. Its gettin kinda hard to
shave down there lol cuz of my preggy
belly lol its hard to see what im doing
and im scared ill cut myself. ~ erica.

Be careful with that, erica. You bleed a
lot more down there when you are preg.

Poopoo, i, when I was like 18, my fiancee
wanted me to shave down there. I told
him if he wanted to be with an eight year
old that he could go find himself an eight
year old.
Well, needless to say a couple of years
later I ended up shaving it because I am
very hairy and no matter how much I shaved
of my bikini line it was just never
enough.
I love it! I will never go back.
However, it is a pain in the rear end to
shave it. I get razor burn like crazy.
It is bumpy and itchy and drives me nuts.
But, I am going to try to find that hair
cholesterol and see if that helps.
Someday when I am rich, haha, I am going
to have it removed permanently. That
would be heaven!

So basically a hair conditioner works
better than shave gel? Or just those few
types thats been mentioned on here (hair
cholesterol, lusters pink sheen)? Ive
been shaving everything for a few years
now, but I can't do it more than once a
week or I get razor burn so bad, and
eventually many ingrown hairs. I would
like to keep everything nice for my
boyfriend all the time because I know he
prefers "bushless" ( )
but with shave gel I just can't.. And
having sex with a few days growth does not
feel so good .
So would any conditioner work, or just
some specialty ones that I probably won't
be able to find anywhere here because the
city I live in has nothing for shopping?
Thanks all!

Hi i'm from canada also, you can get the
cholesterol thing at zellers and some
pharmaplus' (well depends where you are I
guess) and the stuff definitely works much
better

Well I checked at walmart... Notta thing,

know our zellers, they won't have it
either. But i'll still check.
