Best female at home pubic hair removal methode?

Question

I've shaved my pubic hair for a long time but a day or two after it's already growing back. I've been considering waxing for a while and want some different ways that I can do it myself at home. I'd really prefer a homemade wax too. I've seen a few that had sugar and lemon juice in them and was wondering what is best. Also since it would be my first time waxing I'd love tips/tricks/instructions on how to do it. I have the general idea on how to do it but tips would be extremely useful. Thanks!

Safe Easy Way to Remove Pubic Hair

By Andrea Griffith, eHow Contributor



Remove pubic hair safely and easily.



The safest, easiest and wallet-friendliest way to remove pubic hair is to simply shave it. Although electrolysis will permanently remove the hair, it can be extremely costly and maybe years down the line you'll wish you hadn't gotten all of the hair removed; waxing can remove the hair for a few weeks and is only a little expensive, but terrible infections from dirty tools and old waxes can ruin your body. To be safe, shaving the pubic hair is the way to go. And if you do it correctly, you shouldn't have any razor burns or ingrown hairs either.

Things You'll Need

Bath tub

Hot water

Brand new razor blade

Shaving cream for sensitive skin

Cortisone cream

Hydrogen peroxide

Cotton balls

Breathable underwear



Instructions



1

Fill up your bath tub with hot water--but not hot enough to scald your skin.



2

Soak in the bath for about 10 minutes. This will help to soften your skin and open your pores.



3

Place a new, sharp razor blade into your razor. Sharper razors will help to prevent razor burn and give your a closer shave.



4

Lather some shaving cream onto the bikini area. Shaving cream will help to protect your skin from nicks and cuts.



5

Hold your skin taut with one hand as you shave the bikini area with the razor. Always shave in the same direction as the hair growth to prevent razor burn and ingrown hairs.



6

Rinse off the bikini area completely when you're finished. Step out of the bath tub and pat dry the pubic region.



7

Apply cortisone cream to the area to help prevent ingrown hairs, razor burn and irritation.



8

Pour a small amount of hydrogen peroxide on a cotton ball. Apply the peroxide to the bikini area, as this will help to prevent ingrown hairs and infections.



9

Wear breathable underwear like cotton or silk. These fabrics will help prevent skin irritation.

As for home waxing recipes, save you money. They just make a mess and do not remove hairs.



Waxing, epilating, threading or sugaring at home or in the salon are bad for the skin though many people do it. As well as being painful & expensive, these leave a hole in the skin where the hair once grew and this can fill up with bacteria like staphylococcus aureus to cause painful infections & permanent skin damage or discoloration. Waxing the skin can be bruised, torn or lose elasticity causing premature wrinkles later on.

Sadly many confuse shaving with a safety razor and lather-in-a-can as being the sole method of shaving. Many years ago this was true but these days a good quality electric shaver with a foil/guard designed for sensitive skin is the best, cheapest and most convenient answer to any body hair removal or trimming. The smoothness also lasts longer than wet shaving



It is a fact that any razor blade or safety razor, whether made for men or women, scrapes away not only the unwanted hair but also the top layer of your skin - the epidermis - from which the hair grows. This wet shaving damages the skin and causes shaver rash, bumps, lumps, ingrown hairs and also discoloration of the skin which can become permanent.



Also a razor used "with the grain" trains the hair to bend & lie down against the skin. The blade then slices the end of the hair shaft diagonally and not straight across at the base. If this is cut close to the skin, the thin jagged end can bend inwards & downwards growing into the skin where it can become ingrown and infected. The razor blade also strips away not only hair but precious natural skin oils, which leads to skin dryness, rash and bumps called follicultis barbae.



NEVER SHAVE WITH ANY NAKED RAZOR BLADE.



The explanation for the myth that many believe - "shaving & other hair removal methods, cause the hair to grow back thicker" - started out becauseeveryonee shaved with a razor blade or so called safety razor. The water used during razor blade shaving, gets absorbed by the skin cells though a biological process called osmosis and so they swell up with water. You will have seen this effect if you stay in the water too long and your skin gets the wrinkled "prune" look. This makes it impossible for a blade to cut the hair close to the skin. This water absorption causes the skin surface to puff up and the swollen skin cells ride up the hair shaft, concealing the base of the hair so that the blade cannot reach it to cut it low down and next to the skin for a smooth long lasting shave. Once you finish shaving the skin dries out & the skin cells deflate as the water evaporates. This causes the thicker uncut portion of the hair to "magically" reappear making you think it has regrown thicker or faster which is just not true. Any doctor will tell you such increased hair growth is not biologically possible and is simply an old wives tale. See http://www.bestbodyshaver.com/shaving-myths/ for a renowned Mayo Clinic doctor's advice. The real cause of this illusion is an imperfect cutting of the hair and the skin drying out. It makes no difference to the smoothness of the shave if you apply a ton of lather or skin conditioners or use a new razor blade each time.



If you want to avoid shaver rash, bumps and a poor shaving result - use a rotary shaver like the Bare It All to shave DRY. This has has a well designed foil that allows the hair to be cut close to the skin but without the blades touching the skin. Then you will get a longer lasting shave without pain, bumps, rash or discomfort. You won't have to waste money on repairing your damaged skin after having shaved, using expensive salves, conditioners and bump treatments. This can be a big money saver.



The adverse effects of wet shaving with a razor, are really what has driven everyone to seek the Holy Grail of alternative methods of hair removal. This is now a multi billion dollar a year industry, but there is too much hype and hoopla an deceitful promises. Some tout that various procedures are permanent when they are not and obscures truth from myth.



See if you agree.

Answer 3

personally i do shave, my bf likes it also. I don't really like the feeling of being hairy down there and when he goes down i don't want for it feel like he's in the jungle :P lol but he doesn't mind when it's a bit fuzzy just when it's just growing back, but he likes it bald also. and i don't like his area completely smooth, i think it's a bit to much but he keeps it trimmed. I don't even know how but i don't wanna ask. it's just enough, it's not too much yet not to little. It's different with everyone so that's just what i like.
