Hair....... Help

Well I know this probably sounds stupid
but it drives me nuts. Shaving your pubic
hair. Should it be shaved completely,
partially what????? It really bothers me
because I haven't had sex yet and would
like to soon. This is the only thing that
holds me back. I have shaved it all off
before but shaving everyday is an
irritation and it hurts to shave like my
skin is sensative. Also shaving down
there isn't really easy. I don't know
i've never talked to anyone els about this
before but if you can please help. Also
what should I use to get a really close
clean shave. Thanks

Close clean shave = new razors and shaving
cream.
Shaving is a preference, so it would be
whatever you like. Some people don't like
it at all, other people go completely
bald, still others have a trail to
happiness. Do whatever you want.
Also use a little hydrocortizon cream to
keep those shave bumps away.

Just another opinion. I have completely
shaved down there and I love it!! I did
it for my bf because he wanted me to once
and I said ok one time. I was really
worried about irritation so I bought this
shaving cream called coochy (i think you
can get it at www.Erotica.Com) but
you probably can get it at any store
(online or what not) that sales "intimate"
stuff. Anyhow I also dont shave it every
day. I have sensitive skin too and if I
shave it too much I get red bumps. So I
shave it when I know that my bf and I are
going to get to be together (if I have the
chance) and let it grow when we arent then
shave it again. It is really important
that you use a brand new razor every
time... I found that this helps reduce
the irritation (another reason I dont
shave everyday!!$$$) and dont shave
anything that doesnt have shaving cream on
it (so dont shave a spot then go over it
again with out reloading on the cream) one
last thing.. Its easier to do if you are
in the bath instead of the shower. Hope
this helps you...

I shave it all..!!I cant stand hair..But
anyways..I shave everyday..If I skip a day
I find that my skin gets irritated..And I
have the "red bumps"..Which are ingrown
hairs..I always use shave cream and
condictioner...(that goes in your
hair)..And it always helps my skin..If I
dont use it ..I always itch and have razor
burn the next day...Everyone is different
but try shaving everyday and see if it
doesnt take the pain and itch
away..Because I use to shave like only on
weekends..But then I started shaving every
night and its so much easier and way more
comfortable!

Not all guys like the totally bare look.
It reminds some of them of little girls
which is just gross. Why not just trim
it close but don't go bare. Or wait til
you have someone special and let him do
the honors.

My bf like it all gone and he prefers to
go down on me when its all gone I did it
once but it made me feel like I was a
little girl so I just keep it nicely
trimmed and he still goes down on me so I
guess its totally up to u and what u like
and what is comfortable on u

I do a close trim too, and shave on the
inside of y thighs, keeping it short on
the labia and the mons. I like that
little triangle of hair!

Shaving bare is a hassle really in my
opinion, and my boyfriend doesn't like it
either really. I just trim the mons and
shave below that. It's easier and it's
not as irritating as long as you use a new
razor and shaving cream. I've noticed
when I do that I don't even have to worry
about razor burn the next day.

You will have to un-capitalise all of the
letters in that link though. Ehealth has
auto-capitalise on!

Yeah, I never really know what to shave
when I do. I don't like a ton of hair,
but I shaved it all once and felt like a
child. Normally now, I just shave mostly
when my bf and I are going to be together,
and I normally shave most underneath so
it's decently short and then trim up
everything else. But I always get the
bumps along my bikini line. I hate them
they are so embarassing. I use
conditioner too! Glad i'm not the only
one!

I have gone bare-not for me. I have also
done the straight line-that was cool. I
think the best of all is the triangle.
It's definitely the easiest, because you
just have to shave parallel to your
thighs-you can make as big or small as you
want and it looks clean, pretty, simple,
and natural all at the same time. Its
definitely up to you, but thats my
opinion.

I shave bare, but my skin is very
sensitive and I have a lot of irritation
no matter what. I'd like to get a
brazilian but i'm too scared... I had my
legs waxed once, and the pain was
terrible. Anyone here get brazilians who
could offer some input? Does taking
ibuprofen beforehand really help?

I reccommend don't do anything until you
have someone your going to have sex with
and see what their preference is. Guys
like different things, some don't care
about hair, others hate it.

To those who shave and complain of
irritation, you are not supposed to shave
"against the grain." you are supposed to
shave in the direction of hair growth (ie
so your pubic hairs grow "down," then you
shave down). This will prevent the bumps
and most of the irritation. You won't
have as close of a shave, but I find it
preferable to the itchy bumps!
Additionally, using a shaving cream for
sensitive skin is better...Even better if
it has no added fragrances, and make sure
to let your pubic hairs soften up in warm
water for a few minutes first. So try
shaving at the end of your shower or bath.
Use a fresh razor each time. Pat the
area dry, do not rub, and make sure it is
completely dry before dressing -
preferably in cotton underwear, and looser
fitting pants - tight pants restrict air
flow, causing moisture to form and
bacteria to build up...Very bad for a
freshly shaved area!

I use either bikini zone shave gel or hair
conditioner to shave, and afterward, even
though it hurts like h.E.L.L I use the
bikini zone after shave. Keeps the
irritation at bay.

um as I said in an earlier post I have
been getting brazillians since I was
16.... So hopefully I can help... I have
honestly never thought that brazilians
hurt that much at all... Yes they are
uncomfortable and a bit awkward until you
get used to them... But the pain I find
no worse than a leg wax.... But then
again some people have different pain
thresholds so u may have a low one...
Then I guess u could try taking panadol or
something before but I cant help u with
that cos ive never tried it
