The dangers of using a razor for the delicate skin of intimate places have been discussed not so long ago. The reason for this was the experiment of French scientists, which made a real revolution in the field of cosmetology. It turns out that using a shaving razor can lead to negative consequences such as:

- The appearance in the groin area of \u200b\u200bmolluscum contagiosum - a skin disease that occurs due to an acute viral infection (smallpox group).
- Development of genital warts. This is another type of viral infection that fans of hair removal in intimate places with shaving are most often susceptible to.
- Skin irritation resulting from the removal of the upper layer of the epidermis along with the hairs. Slight swelling of the skin, red pimples, periodic itching and soreness of the skin - all this gives a woman a lot of inconvenience, and it does not look too beautiful. Moreover, second shaving only increases the area of \u200b\u200birritation.
- Ingrown hairs.
- Over time, your pubic hair will grow faster, which means you will have to shave more often.
- Another equally important drawback of shaving is its fragility. Some girls have to repeat the procedure every two to three days, which, you see, does not add optimism.

Why you can't shave intimate parts - any

tortuous theories.

There are two interesting concepts that urge humanity to leave its body in its original form.

Pheromones concept. Some scientists believe that pheromones (volatile substances responsible for the appearance of sexual desire) tend to accumulate in the genital area. By shaving off the hair, we automatically get rid of potential sexual partners.
Barrier concept. Hair in intimate places serves as a kind of protection against infections in the environment. In addition, they protect the female genitals from the cold and possible bruises.

Should we follow these theories or not? That's your business!

Are you so used to the machine that you cannot refuse it even despite all of the above? Then be sure to consider the following points, which will allow you to negate all the dangers of shaving your pubic hair.

Tip # 1... Prepare your skin for a hair removal procedure. Take a hot bath to open up your pores and make the process less painful. As a last resort, dampen your skin with hot water, apply shaving agent to it and leave it on for a few minutes. Foam or gel will leave your skin and hair soft and pliable. But it would be better to refuse soap, it dries the skin very much.

Council number 2... Choose the right shaving razor. Many girls use the same razor for their bikini area as for their legs or armpits. This is a glaring mistake! Such machines are only suitable for flat and fairly large surfaces, to which the groin area does not belong in any way. In addition, the foot razors are equipped with special guides designed to protect you from cuts. When removing pubic hair, they will only interfere. When choosing a machine, carefully read the labels on the packaging. Give preference to the one that is designed specifically for intimate places. It should also have a protective strip with additional gel or cream. A good alternative to this "model" would be a quality razor for men.

Tip # 3... Under no circumstances use other people's machines. The same goes for old, rusty and dull blades, the use of which can lead to skin injury and inflammation and irritation.

Tip # 4... Use foam or gel that lathers well enough.

Tip # 5... Learn to shave properly. Get into a comfortable position with a mirror in front of you. When removing hair from intimate areas, do not forget to gently tighten the skin. Use the razor only in the direction of hair growth (top to bottom). Keep your movements slow and smooth to avoid cuts and ingrown hairs. At the end of the procedure, be sure to rinse off the remnants of the product with warm water and gently wipe the skin with a soft towel.

Tip # 6... Keep your shaver clean. After use, it must be thoroughly washed, dried and placed in a special container.

Tip # 7... Do not neglect after shave skin care products (creams or gels). Choose those that do not contain even a drop of alcohol, otherwise you will have to experience all of its power. Apply a small amount of cream to your skin and let it fully absorb.

Skin care in the bikini area is an exciting issue for many women, and this is not surprising: the skin here is especially delicate, but you want it to look well-groomed and neat! The duration of the effect is no less important: for example, before going to the sea, you want to make sure that body care does not take up your free time.

There are various ways to remove hair from the skin, but problems are also likely: ingrown hairs, irritation, flaking and itching. There are some of the most common ways to get rid of hair in this delicate area.

Photoepilation

This is a relatively young way to remove hair. It is based on the interaction of the hair with the heat of the light flux. As a result, the hair follicle ceases to receive nutrition and falls out. The effect lasts for several years if you do three to six procedures. The main disadvantage of photoepilation is its cost - about 2500 rubles per procedure - and a whole list of contraindications.

Among them are such common problems as varicose veins, wounds, scars, skin diseases, hypertension and all kinds of tumors. Photoepilation is contraindicated for minors and pregnant women. This procedure is also not recommended for blondes and gray-haired people: due to the specifics of its effect (interaction with the hair pigment), photoepilation will not give them the desired result.

Only a dermatologist has the right to do photoepilation, and therefore you should contact a specialized clinic, and not a beauty salon.

Laser hair removal

The principle of its action is similar to the previous one: the laser beam "burns" the hair using the same hair pigment. The sensitivity of the device is adjusted in such a way that the skin without pigment will not be damaged. Contraindications for use almost completely repeat the list of photoepilation, but there is one more significant "but": laser hair removal is very painful.

The degree of inconvenience depends on the pain threshold and the individual sensitivity of the patient, but average data show that the procedure can be difficult to transfer. Anesthetic ointments and gels are used to relieve pain.

But the result is pleasing: the laser beam penetrates deeper, processes the hairs more efficiently, and after a few procedures they become thin, brittle and fall out. But getting rid of hair with a 100% guarantee in one procedure is physically impossible. The laser affects only those hairs that have already grown, and their number is only 40% of the total number of hairs. To guarantee, procedures are required for two years, it is during this period, on average, that a person's hair grows back completely.

Photo and laser hair removal can cause irritation and slight swelling on the skin, which lasts about a day.

Wax depilation

A much more affordable way to remove hair. A special adhesive mass is applied to the selected area of \u200b\u200bthe body (today, in cosmetology, the choice of such substances is very wide and pleasant). After the applied mass hardens, it is removed with a sharp movement using special strips, "stuck" hairs are removed along with the strips. For the procedure, the hairs should grow slightly and reach at least 0.5 cm, which causes some inconvenience.

The effect of the procedure will last for two to three weeks, but the interval between sessions can be increased. To do this, use creams that slow down the rate of hair growth. Over time, the hairs become thinner, and it becomes much easier to remove them.

The main disadvantage of wax depilation is its soreness; after the procedure, irritation may remain on the skin for a period from one hour to a day.

Depilatory cream

The cream is applied in a uniform layer to the selected area of \u200b\u200bthe skin and after a while is removed using special devices.

Although the effect of the procedure is short-lived - only three to four days - the depilatory cream has many supporters: the procedure is absolutely painless, it can be used even with a low threshold of pain sensitivity.

The result of depilation directly depends on the uniformity of the application of the cream; after treatment, hair "bushes" may remain on the skin. Therefore, you have to choose between pain and cleanliness of the skin treatment.

Shaving

Shaving, despite the large number of alternative methods, remains the most popular method of hair removal. But often it is accompanied by unpleasant consequences such as itching, irritation, ingrown hairs. And if irritation, for example, after photoepilation passes in about a day, then shaving can leave a "memory" of itself for several days, and sometimes weeks. For safety and comfort, follow the rules:

1. 1. Choosing the right shaving machine is the key to a successful procedure. The best are male reusable razors designed for shaving coarse hair that grows in hard-to-reach places (in depressions and bends). Women's looms dull much faster. They are designed for shaving legs, it is inconvenient to use them in the bikini area: special restraints, created in order not to injure the skin, obstruct the view, and the blades - even new ones - are not sharpened sharply enough. An alternative for combining form and content is the men's razor cassette inserted into the women's Venus.
2. 2. It is not necessary to choose a special shaving product in the intimate area, any, even a moisturizing gel or soap will do (please note that male products can have a pronounced “male” aroma). If the skin is very sensitive, soften it with a bath with essential oils or foam with oils. It is recommended to apply shaving products a few minutes before the procedure, they soften the hairs, making them more pliable. So shaving them will be much easier.
3. 3. Shaving position - an individual choice, the main thing is to maintain a full view of the intimate area and be comfortable. Most often, the bikini area is shaved while sitting, spreading the legs to the sides, or standing, taking one leg to the side and lifting it (a stool, stand or bath rim can be used for this). When shaving the intimate area, a correctly exposed ordinary mirror can provide invaluable assistance.
4. 4. Shave hair follows the growth of the hair, stretching the skin. When shaving against growth, there is a high risk of getting cuts and wounds, and with systematic improper shaving and ingrown hairs.
5. 5. When you finish shaving, treat the shaved area with a moisturizing and softening aftershave lotion. Please note that only the pubis can be treated with such means, avoiding contact with the inner surface of the genitals. You can apply a hair growth retardant. If wounds appear during the procedure, wash them with peroxide before applying cosmetics.

Intimate haircut

Let the hair grow back a little, at least 2 millimeters.

• Choose a drawing that will become the basis for a haircut, it should not contain small details: when cutting, they will become invisible, and the drawing will lose its meaning.
• Apply with a pencil or pen the selected pattern to the hairy area and gently shave everything around, leaving only an island of hair in the pattern.
• The resulting haircut can be dyed in an unusual color, such as red or white. To do this, use regular eyebrow and eyelash tint. To avoid irritation, apply a greasy cream to the surrounding area.

Hair in the intimate area must be looked after no less carefully than on the head. They need nourishment and hydration: soaps and shower gels can cause irritation, itching and dryness on the skin.

Today there are several methods of hair removal in the intimate area, each girl can choose her own. Someone cannot bear the painful sensations, so they refuse wax, the laser is a rather expensive method and is also accompanied by unpleasant sensations. In this case, shaving in intimate places remains the only option available.

Pros and cons of the procedure

Shaving a delicate area has its own characteristics: greater skin sensitivity and a tendency to irritation. There are some tips for eliminating these symptoms:

• before the procedure, be sure to take a shower and peel, so the hairs are better removed;
• it is absolutely impossible to shave on dry skin - it will only harm, lead to irritation and injury;
• before the shower, in about 30-40 minutes, the bikini area should be treated with coconut or olive oil - the hairs will soften and shave off easier.

There are advantages and disadvantages to using a shaving razor for bikini waxing. The pluses include:

• the low cost of this method - any woman can afford to buy a machine;
• with the correct procedure, you can shave the intimate area very quickly;
• everything is done at home, at any convenient time, there is no need to visit the salon.

Cons of using a shaver:

• the biggest drawback of the method is skin irritation, it is rather difficult to deal with it;
• hair will grow back quickly - the effect will last a maximum of a couple of days, while shaving too often is not recommended;
• the appearance of ingrown hairs.

Advice. If you shave your bikini area regularly, the irritation will gradually decrease.

Shaving hair in the intimate area is important during pregnancy, when other methods cannot be used, but you want to stay beautiful. In addition, this procedure is mandatory before childbirth.

Choosing a shaver for the intimate area

To make hair removal with a razor as comfortable as possible, you need to choose the right machine. Modern instruments have moisturizing strips for more comfort of the procedure and shave hairs almost completely. They can be both disposable and reusable. But this kind of machine is designed for shaving the legs, for the delicate skin of the intimate area may not be suitable. The best option would be a razor for men - there are sharper blades and more opportunities to reach hard-to-reach places.

In any case, it is better to choose a machine with a dampening strip and several extremely sharp blades, no matter what it will be called. The floating head will allow you to shave your hair faster and more accurately. Dull blades can damage your skin.

With all the variety, the criteria for choosing a machine can be as follows:

• Disposable or reusable - the first option assumes several pieces in a package, each for a small number of times. Disposable machines are inexpensive but quickly deteriorate. Replacing the blades is impossible due to the fact that this design is one-piece, they have to be thrown away. Reusable razors have a higher price, but last longer, you can purchase replacement cassettes if necessary.
• The number of blades - the more there are, the easier the procedure will be. There will be no need to carry out several times in the same place, which reduces irritation. The disadvantages of a machine with a large number of blades include high cost and an increased risk of cutting yourself.
• Additional options include a lift comb for a comfortable shave or gel pads for sensitive skin.
• Convenience - the machine should fit comfortably in your hand, even if it is in soap. The movable blade head allows you to reach hard-to-reach places.
• Brand - here you need to select a razor individually, someone may also fit a budget version of an unknown brand.

Interesting. After shaving, hair becomes coarser and darker, it seems that it grows faster, because the tip of the hair cut off by the blade turns out to be blunt.

• BIC. This brand has models with platinum-plated blades. They are disposable, but they last long enough. The line includes a machine designed specifically for depilation of the intimate area BIC Miss Soleil. It has 3 blades, which provides a softer glide and a better shave - the hairs are cut to the very base.
• Dorco. This manufacturer also has the Dorco Shai Sweetie Ladies Shaver. The machine is equipped with 6 blades, which will provide a thorough and safe shave. The rubberized handle and plastic head allow the shaver to fit comfortably in your hand and follow the curves of your body. Such a machine is quite expensive, plus you need to buy replaceable cassettes for it. Additionally supplied with a strip with vitamin E, aloe and lavender.
• Schick. The Schick / Wilkinson Sword Quatro for Woman Bicini razor is specially designed for women. It is equipped with a 4-level trimmer to remove long hairs. The machines are reusable, there are replaceable cassettes. In the manufacturer's lineup there are razors with a 3-way movable head and diamond-coated blades to extend their life, they are equipped with the Protector 3D Diamond inscription.
• Gillette. The famous brand of men's shaving razors has a female model Gillette Venus in its line. It is equipped with all the convenience options: a comfortable handle, a reduced risk of cuts and a movable head. The machine is quite expensive, as are the replaceable nozzles, while it remains sharp for a long time. Equipped with a soap strip, available in 3 and 5 blades.

In addition to the usual machines, there are also electric shavers. Such a device will cost significantly more, but will last a long time. Many have the function of rounding the tip of the hair, which makes the uncomfortable sensations much less. The hair removal technique is the same as when using the machine, but only on dry skin.

Gotta understand. It's just shaving again, the vegetation will reappear quickly enough.

Which shaving gel is better

There are many shaving products on the market today, not only for men, but also for women. It will not be difficult to choose the most suitable one, which will relieve the discomfort when removing hair in the bikini area.

When choosing a shaving product, you should consider the following nuances:

• products from the line for men will not work - women's skin is softer, it can react with irritation or allergic reactions;
• do not use soap - it will badly affect the condition of sensitive skin.

The best option would be a shaving foam or gel, designed for women with high sensitivity. This product provides a thick foam that helps eliminate damage from the machine. After the procedure, you need to treat the skin with a special lotion, preferably of the same brand.

Grooming intimate places is a spicy question for many people. Someone does not like hair in causal places, someone has nothing against it.

And what do the doctors say about this, is it necessary to shave the intimate area, or is it just a matter of aesthetic perception of a person's own body?

Shave or not shave: pros and cons

What should a modern person do, shave or not shave the pubis? And from what considerations do you need to start this process, or leave everything as nature intended?

Interesting! From time immemorial, different peoples have had their own traditions of intimate haircuts. In the eastern countries and India, since ancient times, a completely hairless body (except, of course, hair on the head) was considered the standard of attractiveness. The inhabitants of ancient Rome and Egypt also removed their hair.

The ancient Egyptians also shaved intimate places

The inhabitants of the Slavic and northern countries considered this hair inviolable and looked after it like the rest of the hair.

Here are the basic pros that you can follow:

• The aesthetic side. Not everyone, of course, likes a shaved intimate area, but the overwhelming majority of men and women have long ceased to "cut" their eyes;
• The unpleasant smell that accumulates in the pubic hair during the day will simply stop appearing;
• The penis looks smaller in the "thickets";
• You will feel more comfortable on the beach or in the pool;
• Both sexes are more willing to perform oral sex if the private area is clean-shaven.

The intimate area should at least look neat

Here are the "against" clauses that doctors and psychologists put forward:

• Psychologists say that the dense vegetation on the male pubis from ancient times was an indicator of courage and more aroused women;
• Hair creates an air cushion that prevents the genitals from hypothermia in cold weather and overheating in heat;
• Pubic hair in women creates microflora that reduces the risk of fungal diseases;
• The pheromone substances produced increase sexuality, but they - when shaving clean - simply have nowhere to linger.

Now you have an idea if you need to shave your intimate area. If you do decide to remove your hair, then it is worth considering what is the best way to do it.

The better to remove hair

Tired of shaving the intimate area, can you do without it? Of course you can! You can not only shave your hair, but also go through the procedure of epilation, depilation, shugaring.

Epilation is a complete hair removal, that is, together with the bulb... Distinguish between laser, wax, sugar and photoepilation. In one such procedure, you will get absolutely even skin, but not everyone thinks that it is worth it.

Sugaring is one of the methods of depilation in the intimate area

The procedure of waxing, for example, is expensive and painful, and not every master can remove everything correctly and not injure the skin. Laser hair removal is less painful, it is much more expensive, but after several such sessions the hair can be so injured that it will stop growing at all.

Depilation is the removal of visible hair

It is produced, in addition to shaving, also with the help of a special cream. It is applied to the skin, and after a while it is removed with a special scraper. It does not hurt, the effect lasts a long time, and the procedure is inexpensive. There are also disadvantages: depilatory creams have a specific smell, are not very convenient to use, and contain harmful and allergic substances. You need to choose a cream very carefully, it is better to consult an allergist before that.

Thus, shaving is the most popular method for getting rid of hair. Unlike previous methods, it is completely painless, cheap and easy to use.

The advantages and disadvantages of shaving

The benefits of shaving, in addition to the above, are also fast and affordable. The shaver doesn't take up much space. You can use it both at home and on vacation without unnecessary expenses.

The disadvantages, on closer inspection, are not so significant. The blades need to be changed regularly, and the razor is different from the one normally used for underarm shaving. Should I shave my intimate area only with a special razor? Not at all, it's just more convenient to do it small.

Disadvantages are also hidden in the fact that you can cut yourself, bring in bacteria, hair can grow in, and the procedure has a short-term effect. Despite the flaws, if you learn to shave correctly, then you will not have any irritation or ingrown hairs.

To shave well, you need to adjust. This can take dozens of attempts, or it can work the first time. To always work well, you need to know some secrets.

Shaving your intimate area

Important! Any shave starts with choosing a machine. To shave the intimate area, you need to choose a small machine without a special strip. The machine should in no case be disposable, blunt and the one used for the legs. The leg rams have a special soft strip that makes it easier to shave your legs, but makes it difficult to see when shaving the bikini area.

If you have the financial ability, then it is recommended to purchase a trimmer... This device will help you quickly shave off excess hair. However, it doesn't matter if you have a trimmer or a machine, the main thing is that you feel comfortable holding it in your hand.

How to shave correctly

It turns out that there are a number of rules for shaving an intimate place:

• Many people ask: is it necessary for the skin and hair to be wet when shaving the intimate area? Necessarily! It is best to sit in a warm bath for a while before shaving. The pores will open and the hair will be easier to remove;
• It is important that the skin is not dry. This does not mean water, which simply makes it wet, but shaving foam or hair conditioner - with moisturizing properties for the epidermis;

Shaving hair in intimate areas is necessary in the direction of their growth

• Before shaving, if your hair is long, it is best to trim it and apply a scrub. Use a mild scrub like homemade sugar. This will remove dead skin particles. Such manipulation is required only when shaving the pubis;
• Shave in the evening. This is important not because intimate intimacy is most possible in the evening, but based on physiology. In the evening, it is easier for the body, in particular for the skin, to relax and part with hair;

Shave in the direction of growth

• If you shave against hair growth, you run the risk of irritation and ingrown hairs. Doing this is highly undesirable;
• Use a sharp razor. Ingrown hairs appear precisely because the razor is dull. Change the blade after 2-3 uses;
• Do not hurry. If you are short on time, then try to postpone the case. You risk not only getting a poor-quality result, but also earning irritation, cuts;

Do not wear underwear after shaving your intimate area. It will be enough to put on a bathrobe

• After shaving, it is undesirable to wear underwear (another reason to shave at night). The skin should recover, it will take several hours. If you urgently need to put on underwear, then choose the softest and thinnest available.

These tips will be enough to get you a good shave in your bikini area at home.

Here's how the procedure should go:

1. Get your tool ready;
2. Warm up the bikini area with water, preferably lie in the bathroom;
3. Apply shaving gel, foam or conditioner;
4. Shave in the direction of growth. Stretch the skin slightly to shave off any hairs.
5. Rinse the blades with clean water after each shaver.
6. If you feel comfortable, you can squat while looking in the mirror. Just be careful not to fog up the mirror;
7. Rinse your skin with cool water;
8. Blot gently.

Shaving your bikini area is dangerous without prior preparation.

As mentioned above, you need to use additional products for a smoother shave: cream, foam or conditioner. Beard shaving foam is fine, but stores sell separate products for girls.

The shaving foam should be free from alcohols, menthol and glycerin.

Skin care after the procedure

Do I need to somehow take care of the skin after shaving the intimate area? Of course, this is a prerequisite for a good result!

Firstly, after shaving, it is better not to injure the skin. If you're shaving at night, it's best to sleep without your underwear. In the future, choose thin cotton or lace underwear with minimal use of synthetics and dyes. It is undesirable to wear beautiful underwear made of artificial materials, but an hour or two will not do much harm to please a partner. Try not to choose tight pants or tight skirts the first time after shaving.

Underwear made from natural materials will allow airing of the bikini area

For the first 12 hours, avoid sunbathing without a bikini and swimming in salt or chlorinated water. If you are flying to the sea, it is best to shave after the plane, but before the first swim.

An intimate haircut is the choice of every person. It is important to monitor the condition of the hair not only on the head, but also on the pubis. Having the right hair length can dramatically improve your sexuality and your intimate life in general.
