Change razors often to avoid nicks, which happen when the blade gets dull. Using shaving cream also may help protect your skin from cuts and irritation. If you're nervous about cutting yourself, you can try an electric razor instead. There are some downsides to shaving.
First, there are obvious risks. Using a sharp razor means that you could cut yourself. Then there's the regrowth stage: Shaved hair grows back after a couple of days, and when it does it can be prickly or itchy.
Nazarian also says not to be fooled by razor companies that advertise more blades as better. Because of this, both Dr. Wechsler and Dr. Nazarian also agree that perhaps the most frustrating part of any shaving activity would have to be the emergence of ingrown hairs, which can be especially uncomfortable and painful when they appear around your pubic area. Wechsler explains. Dull razor blades and tight clothes are contributors. If you do end up with an ingrown hair, treat it gently with products specifically formulated to exfoliate the area, like the European Wax Center Smooth Me Ingrown Hair Serum.
If you nick or cut your pubic area, Dr. Wechsler urges you to apply gentle pressure on it to stop the bleeding and to make sure the area is clean by washing it with soap and water. In the same vein, Dr. Nazarian suggests following up the cleanse with Aquaphor to prevent the cut from getting infected.
Wechsler agrees that there's no need to get every single strand of hair — and that removing hair around the labia should be done especially carefully, if at all. Go slowly, be gentle, and do not blind-shave. Previous surveys show similar results for grooming with men also shaving their pubic hair, but at less than half the rate that women do. Is it really cleaner, sexier, empowering and all the other things the survey respondents believe it to be? In fairness there have always been grooming fashions, with ancient Greek urns depicting hairless women: in ancient times, women allegedly plucked their pubic hair or used lamps to burn it off.
Your pubis is your own business. But pubic hair was put there to protect your genitalia from friction and infection. The vagina is internal. So, to shave or not to shave? Here are five things to consider. While removing pubic hair is becoming more common, it is still not as typical as removing leg and underarm hair. This might tell us something about the social pressures we face when it comes to our body hair: the more visible the hair, the more likely we are to remove it.
Social norms about body hair can sometimes make choice feel impossible. But there is also a growing wave of young women taking to social media to talk back to these pressures. They celebrate our natural diversity and difference, and embrace their relationships with body hair.
