What we do recommend for any hair length, however, is to keep your pubic area moisturized.
We like Quim’s Happy Clam Everyday Oil.
Instead, opt for a razor with safety features from Billie.
Razors have come a long way, and replacements are less expensive than they used to be.
The more blades the razor has does not always mean the razor is better.
It is also important to clean the blades frequently to help remove buildup.
“Our favorite razorsinclude Billie, Joy, and Flamingo.
Garshick recommends Eos Shea Butter Sensitive Skin Shave Cream.
It was shown to be safe to use even in delicate areas.”
The hairs also tend to be more coarse," say Shirazi.
We told you those scissors would come in handy.
And likely you already know how bad of an idea that is.
warns vaginal health expert Lindsay Wynn.
“Its best to wet the hairs and skin prior to the start of shaving,” echoes Shirazi.
Use a Fresh Razor
First, grab a fresh blade.
For a close shave, rinse the blades with water after each stroke to avoid clogs.
“Apply light pressure and avoid going over the same area multiple times.
Dry the Skin
Rinse the skin thoroughly and lightly pat dry with a soft towel.
“Avoid rubbing,” says Shirazi, as this can further irritate the skin.
A light, preferably unscented product is the best choice.
Wynn suggests Momotaro’s Tonic, which is pH-balanced.
“You may apply it three times a day for three days.”
We also suggest Fur’s Ingrown Concentrate to help with bumps, redness, andingrown hairs.
The Final Takeaway
Yes, shaving pubic hair is a time-consuming task.
But if it’s done correctly, you’re able to maximize the time between shaves.
Finally, shaving can only remove hair that’s even with the skin.
Waxing will remove hair from the root and keep it away for weeks at a time.
In this case, you may want to consider aBrazilian wax.
