You have many options for hair removal in your bikini area, but shaving is the most common. It's fast, inexpensive, effective, and painless (if done right). With a few preparation steps, a good razor, knowledge, and attentive care, your bikini area will be as smooth as a petal. Note that it's not just women who have biniki hair! Men wearing sports swimwear (such as "Speedo-style" triangular swimwear) or any type of small swimwear should pay attention to trim the bikini area.

Steps

Part 1 of 3: Prepare to shave

1. 

   Use a sharp razor. Bikini area hair tends to be coarser than other body hair, so it will be difficult to shave off using a razor that sells 10 sticks per pack. Instead, choose a high-quality razor designed for sensitive skin. Use a new knife with a sharp blade, as if you use an old item that is worn out, it will scratch your skin and ingrown hair.
   • Men's razors are great for shaving bikini areas. They are sturdy and have many blades, unlike women's razors. They shave clean while not affecting sensitive skin. (You can tell by color. Men's razors are usually white. Women's knives are usually pink or pastel color.)
   • Avoid using a razor with only one blade, unless it is a very sharp and safe one. Single-blade razors make it difficult to remove bikini hair. Look for one that has 3 or 4 blades so you can shave closer.
   • A brand new razor that has never been used before is sharper than a used one. If you have to use a shoddy one-time razor, use a new one every time you need hair removal for best results. You can use a used razor on the skin under the arms and legs.

2. 

   
   
   Use a soap or shaving cream. It doesn't matter what cream or soap you choose, as long as you use them. You can choose from: shower gel, shaving cream, or even hair conditioner, all of which are fine.
   • Aromatherapy soaps and creams can sometimes irritate sensitive skin. Pre-test the product on other less sensitive skin areas before applying to bikini skin.

3. 

   
   
   Decide how much hair you want to shave. Try looking in the mirror and determine how much you want to shave. Every girl's bikini area is different, but most of you will shave the exposed hair when wearing swimwear. Includes upper thigh hair, groin and below navel hair.
   • For an example of a simple shaving tutorial, put on your underwear in the bathroom. Wear them when shaving. Any hair coming out of your pants needs to be shaved. (Note: this works best when the bottom of your underwear is similar to your swimming shorts).
   • If you want to shave more hair, see How to Shave your genitals.
   • You might consider a Brazilian wax wax if you want to completely depilate it.

4. 

   
   
   Cut the hair close to about 0.6 cm. If your bristles are too long, they will get caught in the blade and create a mess. Prepare by using scissors to cut the hairs about 0.6 cm or less. This step will make shaving easier.
   • Gently pull the hair out with one hand and carefully trim the hair with the other.
   • Be careful not to pull the stab into the body. Trim hair in a well-lit bathroom.

5. 

   Take a hot shower or bath. A hot bath softens the skin and hair, making it easier to shave. Let the hair shave after you shower, after you wash your hair, and finish everything you need.
   • If you're not going to shave in the bathroom, prepare your bikini area by moistening it with a warm towel as well. Skipping this step will cause skin irritation and inconvenience.
   • If you have time, exfoliate your skin. This will prevent ingrown hairs after shaving.

Part 2 of 3: Shaving

1. 

   Lather your bikini area with shaving cream or shower gel. It is essential to make sure the hair and skin are well lubricated before shaving. If not, the razor will hurt you. Heavy lubrication is never superfluous, so just rub a lot of soap into the area. Keep the lubricator bottle close, just in case you need more.
   • While shaving, continue to add cream or shower gel to make the shaving process easier.
   • You may want to wash it off in the middle of shaving to see how much hair you've got, then keep lubricating and shaving.

2. 

   Shave the hair downward in the direction of growth, not backwards. Experts say shaving down the direction the hair grows will cause less skin irritation. Use one hand to hold the skin tightly to make the razor more effective, the other starts to shave, just apply a little pressure to shave close enough. Continue shaving until the area is clean.
   • Many people often start off by shaving below the navel or the groin area first. It's up to you to do whatever makes the job easier for you.
   • Many people find it difficult to shave close if they shave down the direction of the hair growth instead of upside down. If you find it difficult, shave on the side of the hair growth direction. Shaving is just the last resort. There are other ways to prevent skin irritation.
   • Don't overshave. You do not need to shave again and again. If the area is free of hair, let it sit; otherwise, you will cause skin irritation.

3. 

   Put on your swim trunks to see if you have shaved spots. (If you're satisfied, you don't need to do this step, but if you're shaving the first time, check to make sure.) Put on your swimwear and check, then go back to the bathroom and shave any residue if any.

4. 

   Exfoliate your skin. Use a washcloth or mild exfoliator to remove exposed dead skin. This simple step will help prevent ingrown hairs and other effects of shaving, so don't ignore it.

Part 3 of 3: Skincare afterward

1. 

   Prevent skin irritation. For people with sensitive skin, a few more things should be paid attention.
   • Many people find using witch hazel or other soothing toners to help reduce or prevent irritation. Use a cotton ball or clean washcloth to dab witch hazel or other mild toners on the area you just shaved. This will help reduce swelling and keep the skin as smooth as new. (Note that this step will burn or stinging if you accidentally scratch your skin when shaving. Be careful.)
   • Drying. Drying out the bikini area will help prevent or reduce the swelling of the hair follicles. Use a medium or low open hair dryer to blow dry. If the device only has a hot setting, be careful to keep it away from your bikini area - you won't want your skin to be burned by the hot air. If you don't have a hairdryer, (or don't want to have to explain to others why you dried your bikini area), drying with a towel is also effective.

2. 

   Moisturizes the skin. If the skin gets dry or flaky, it can leave you uncomfortable or burning. This also increases your risk of unpleasant lumps or ingrown hairs. Apply moisturizer to the shaved area and moisturize it for a few days. The following types of mild, natural moisturizers are the best choice:
   • Aloe vera gel
   • Coconut oil
   • Argan oil
   • Jojoba oil

3. 

   Avoid wearing tight clothing for a few hours. This causes skin itchy and swollen skin, so it's best to wear loose fitting underwear, comfortable skirts or shorts until the skin is less sensitive.

Warning

• Don't borrow someone else's razor. This will infect skin diseases, or blood sugar diseases (albeit very rare), even if the knife looks clean and has been washed with soap and water.
• Don't leave the razor on the ground. Even if the incident of stepping on a securely designed razor is only a little uncomfortable and not an emergency room, it's not a good idea to leave the razor on the ground.
