Word on the street is that depilatories (another name for hair removal) can also help to make your hair grow back softer with consistent use (although some studies say that they actually increase the amount of hair follicles in mice). Since it’s painless and even removes hair right beneath the surface, this method typically lasts longer than shaving. PROS: If you want a pubic hair removal method that is fast, inexpensive, and easy to do yourself, another option is going with a hair removal cream like Nair. The Pros & Cons of Using Hair Removal Cream for Your Pubic Hair Another con? If you decide to remove all of your pubic hair this way, the growing out process can be a mutha. You can avoid this by never going against the grain, applying gentle pressure as you shave, and re-wetting your razor every 2-3 strokes. Plus, if you want an extra close shave and you decide to go against the grain, that significantly increases your chances of experiencing razor bumps and the scars that can come from them, which can be a low-key nightmare. Just make sure to dampen your skin, apply a shaving gel or cream first, or, if you’d prefer a more natural alternative, go with something along the lines of coconut or olive oil or even some aloe vera gel.ĬONS: I still shave my legs (not really sure why, now that I think about it I should probably get those waxed), and while it’s cool for the most part, the most annoying thing is how fast the stubble starts to come back same point applies to shaving pubic hair. It’s something else that’s relatively easy to do at home and, so long as you get a really good razor (word on the street is Schick Women’s Quattro Razor Exotic Violet Blooms is a great one), it can have your bikini line looking and feeling baby soft smooth. PROS: If you want to clean up your bikini line completely and you want to do so while keeping some coins in your pocket, shaving is a way to go. The Pros & Cons of Shaving Your Pubic Hair Also, if you’re gonna go with an electric trimmer, you should make sure to oil the blades before and after each trim otherwise, you run a high chance of the blade snagging some of your hairs or nicking you - and trust me, both really suck.ĭefinitely rinse the blade thoroughly to reduce the risk of bacteria and bumps (especially if you’re going for a close trim) and replace the blades on your trimmer every 3-4 months that way, they don’t get dull. You can do it from the comfort (and privacy) of your own home at any time you feel the need.ĬONS: As someone who trims sometimes in between appointments, one con is it can be hard to see what you’re doing not only that, but feeling around can take for-e-ver. PROS: So long as you have the proper tools (either some facial hair shears because they have rounded tips that are safer or an electric trimmer that’s specifically designed for pubic hair), probably the greatest pros with trimming your pubic hair is that it’s cheap and convenient as all get out. The Pros & Cons of Trimming Your Pubic Hair And since there are a few different routes that we all can take in that department, I want to share some of the options that I told my girls - with a heads up to their mamas, of course - about, along with the benefits and potential challenges that come with each of ‘em. Yet just because I’m all about keeping the hair that naturally grows in that area around, that doesn’t mean that I don’t think that some intentional and consistent grooming shouldn’t be going down in the process. It can even intensify sexual activity since pubic hair tends to carry pheromones. It can reduce the transmission of bacteria if you happen to have tiny abrasions around your vulva (the outer part of your vagina) or pubic mound. It makes sex more comfortable by reducing the sometimes uncomfortable friction that comes from intercourse. And, for whatever the reason, a burning topic right now has been pubic hair - whether to keep it and/or what to exactly do with it. And, for better or for worse, I am at the season where a lot of mine are either preteens or full-blown teenagers (Lord, where does the time go?!), so here come all of the random emails, texts, and phone calls. One thing about being a "godmommy" and "love auntie" (which are nieces who came through love, not blood) is your “girls” will be asking you all kinds of stuff that they may not necessarily feel comfortable asking their mom about.
