Removing Unwanted Hair - Bikini area (intimate area) (2024)
Bikini trim (removing pubic hair)
Shaving with a razor:
1. Start with a good razor with a curved edge, like Bikini Plus. Don’t use a disposable razor! The blades are cheaply made and will be too harsh for your sensitive skin. Secondly, do this is a well-lit room. You must be able to see all angles of your intimate area to be able to see and shave all the hair you want to remove. Finally, you must not be shy about touching yourself. You will get to know your intimate area intimately in this process.
2. If this is your first shave, first cut your pubic hair short with a scissors. You can’t shave long hair with a razor.
3. Soften your skin and your pubic hair by taking a hot bath or shower, or by pressing a hot washcloth on the area. Keep your skin wet and add a softener to your hair. I like to use hair conditioner to soften hair I want to shave. (This is a good tip for your legs and underarms, too. I tried all brands of shaving foams but I find hair conditioner to be the best preparation. The thing I like best about using conditioner is that it does not clump up in the razor’s blade.)
4. Hold the skin taut and shave in the same direction as the hair’s growth. IGNORE ADVICE THAT TELLS YOU TO SHAVE AGAINST THE GRAIN. Shaving against the direction of your hair’s growth will hurt and will not make the shave any smoother. Smoothness comes from using a sharp razor. The skin in this area is so delicate that I urge you to use a new razor every time you shave.
5. If you use conditioner as your softener, you can shave repeatedly over an area to get a close shave. Use short strokes and be gentle. Pressure will not make a closer shave.
6. You can decide how much you want to remove. If you’re shaving to please men, my experience is that most men like a totally nude look. I also found that it’s easier to shave totally than to maintain a “Mohawk” or “landing strip” like you sometimes see in men’s magazine photos of naked women.
7. I like to apply aloe afterwards to soothe the skin. I recommend Key West Aloe, which is 94% aloe. Go to www.keywestaloe.com to order. (I am not paid for this endorsem*nt, nor do I get any commission from them, nor do I know anyone involved in the company. I do not own stock, nor have I ever worked for them. I just love their product. It’s good for soothing any skin irritation.)
8. Some women need to use a moisturizer to kept the skin soft after shaving, and some women need to use a talc to keep the area dry after shaving. It all depends on your environment (tropical? Arctic?) and the clothes you wear (natural fibers? Synthetics? Tight panties?)
Waxing your intimate area:
I don’t wax my intimate area; I shave. Therefore, I cannot personally vouch for this section. I’m passing on this information from my colleague who uses wax. In order for your hair to be long enough to embed in the wax, it must be about 1/4 to 1/2 inch. That’s too long for me to wait, which is why I shave.
1. Your hair will have to be dry and not softened in order for the hair to embed in the wax. Therefore, don’t bathe or shower or soften the skin or the hair.
2. As with any chemical product that touches your skin, test a small area first to be sure you’re not allergic or that it’s not too caustic. Be sure to use a wax specifically made for the bikini area.
3. Heat the wax as instructed on the product’s label. The wax should be pliable (mushy) but not thin (watery).
4. Make sure you skin is completely clean – no softeners, no moisturizers, no lotions.
5. Apply the wax in strokes that go in the same direction as the hair growth, then pull it in the opposite direction of the hair growth. My colleague says don’t pull it at a 90 degree angle – pull it more like 180 degrees. (Who knew you need to know geometry to wax your bikini area?) Repeat this until you’ve removed all the hair you want to.
6. Remove any left over wax with a warm washcloth. My colleague says you won’t need to treat the skin with Key West Aloe afterwards. (That’s my second plug; see step 7 under “Shaving” for information on my favorite skin product.)
7. A day or two after the waxing, you’ll need to use a scrub of some kind to polish the area. It seems the waxing encourages your hair follicle roots to close, which will increase your chances of ingrown hair. This scrub will have to be abrasive, not gentle.
8. Don’t wear restrictive clothing for two days after waxing. Too tight clothes will trap moisture, which can also increase your chances of ingrown hair..
Some people don't do anything with their pubic hair, leaving it to grow naturally. Some remove hair when they'll be wearing a bathing suit, and some remove hair regularly. No health benefits are linked to removing pubic hair, so choose what feels right for you.

During your appointment, your doctor will numb your pubic area with numbing gel.Then, they will take a laser and hold it against your skin, using the laser to kill the hair within the follicle.

As mentioned above, pubic hair serves a protective function by trapping pathogens that could otherwise enter your body. Removing pubic hair may therefore make a person more susceptible to common infections, such as UTIs, vaginitis, and yeast infections.
