Want to try Brazilian wax but don't want a stranger dripping hot wax in “this place”? If you shave thoroughly, you can achieve the same effect. And shaving is less painful. Here are the instructions on how to become a pro and shave your bikini area completely, safely and easily.

Steps

Part 1 of 3: Shaving the Front

1. 1 Decide what your pubis should look like. Choose the option that makes you feel as feminine and sexy as possible. You have several options:
   • Shave it all off... If you completely shave your pubic hair, you will do absolutely no harm to your health. The main thing is not to cut yourself.
   • Use a stencil... You will place a stencil, such as a heart shape, over your pubic area. Then you shave off all the hair around the stencil, leaving the heart-shaped hair in the pubic area. Stencils can be purchased at most adult stores or bought online.
   • Create a runway... This is the hairline that runs from the labia to the navel and you can make it thick (good for thick, unruly hair) or thin (for fine, sparse hair).
2. 2 Before you shower, trim your pubic hair with scissors. Leave 6 mm. Your razor may be gelled or have more blades than a child can count, but you still need to be careful with it.
   • To trim your hair in the most efficient way, take a small section of hair and cut it off. It is not necessary to cut straight, the main thing is that they are short.
   • If the thought of bringing your scissors ... there ... makes you feel hot, use electric trimmers that don't have rotating blades. Rotating trimmers can cut your skin.
3. 3 Take a shower and moisturize your hair. You can even soak in the bath for a while before shaving. If you soften the follicles, it will be easier to shave off the hair the first time. If you are going to wash your bikini area, do so before shaving to avoid irritating exposed areas later.
   • If there is no shower nearby (perhaps you are on a desert island), take a damp towel and place it on the bikini area for 5-10 minutes. The effect will be the same.
4. 4 Get rid of dead cells. You will surely meet people who will tell you that it is imperative to follow the order - first apply foam, shave, and only then peel. But if you want to become a pro in pubic shaving (and who doesn't want to ?!), then know - you need to cleanse the skin before and after. Thanks to the peeling, the hair will "fall" in one direction, which greatly facilitates the shaving process. The exfoliation will also remove excess dead skin cells for an even smoother shave.
   • Use a regular hard washcloth or bikini sponge. Take a sponge and run it over the desired area - do the same as usual!
5. 5 Soak your bikini area with warm water and apply shaving gel. This is a prerequisite. Never shave your bikini area without lubrication... If you do not use shaving cream, then do not be surprised by severe irritation, sores and swelling.
   • It is best to use a non-scented shaving cream, especially for the bikini area. If you have sensitive skin, test on a small area before applying. Sometimes people have allergic reactions.
     • Buy a clear, non-foamy shower gel so you can see what you are doing while shaving.
6. 6 Lightly dampen a new razor. The more blades, the better - the fewer blades (and the older she is), the more times you will need to razor (not counting the time to reapply shaving cream). For best results, buy one of the trendy lubricated razors.
   • If you take good care of your shaver, you can reuse it. When you're done, wash it, but don't leave it wet - water breaks down the metal, oxidizing and dulling it.
7. 7 Shave with long, slow strokes in the direction of hair growth. Place your hand on your belly, just above the pubis, to make sure that your skin above the pubis is smooth and taut.
   • When shaving, let the blade work. Avoid pressing on the skin. Try to minimize the movement of the shaver, each new movement also removes the surface of the skin.
   • If you have thick, curly hair and little time to shave, try using an electric razor to trim it even further before using a regular razor for the finishing touches.
   • Rinse the razor in between if it gets clogged with hair.

Part 2 of 3: Shaving between the thighs

1. 1 Bend at the waist and lift your first leg. Try starting on the opposite side of your dominant hand (for example, if you are right-handed, start on the left side). In general, this side is much easier and faster to shave. Bending over will help you see the area you want better. Place your raised foot on the side of the tub or sink, if necessary.
   • The process of peeling the skin for this area is no different from what is described above. However, cuts and ingrown hairs are much less likely here, so the hardest part is over.
2. 2 Moisten the area of ​​your skin and apply shaving gel. Be careful not to get any gel or other shower products between your lips. If you feel that the gel is rinsing off with water, then you will need to reapply it.
3. 3 Shave with smooth, horizontal strokes from outside to inside. For example, if you shave the left side, shave from left to right. Use light touches. Stop in front of the center end of the lip. Rinse off any remaining gel when you finish shaving the first side.
   • You may want to open your legs so that the skin is taut and taut when shaving, so you don't have to work on folded and wrinkled skin.
   • Following this technique, shave the opposite side of the labia.

Part 3 of 3: Preventing Irritation

1. 1 Exfoliate again. You might be thinking, "Again?" Yes. Again! Repeated exfoliation helps get rid of dead cells that your razor has stirred up and straightens the follicles, preventing ingrown hairs (worst of all).
   • In this case, a sugar scrub can work wonders. If not in your bathroom, make a baking soda paste to make your skin soft to the touch. This will give you a first-class result.
2. 2 Dry your bikini area with a soft towel. Don't rub your bikini area too much, especially if you have delicate skin. Otherwise, irritation may appear.
   • If you notice any remaining hairs, grab a pair of tweezers and finish the job. Sometimes you can spend almost hours shaving, but still, in the end, skip a few hairs.
3. 3 Use something without fragrances as they can irritate freshly shaved skin. Scarlet Vera or baby oil are standard remedies and both are very good.
   • Also avoid dyes. If you are using lotion, buy the simplest one. If you want, you can perfume the shaved area with something later.
4. 4 Apply some baby powder to the pubic area. You can also apply baby lotion to reduce irritation. Just don't overdo it! Applying too much products will prevent your skin from breathing, lead to acne, and so on. Make sure nothing gets into your vagina!
5. 5 Take a few days off between shaves. Want to avoid having to shave your pubis every time? Then consider waxing or laser hair removal. Otherwise, you need to shave periodically. But between shaves, it is imperative to take breaks of several days.

Tips

• Always use shaving gels, soaps, and lotions that your skin won't react to. Do not use an untested product on the bikini area.
• If you are afraid to shave your entire bikini area, then try to start by shaving your bikini line.
• Thick underwear or trousers can cause irritation after shaving, while cotton underwear and loose trousers can help avoid chafing with lumps and ingrown hairs.
• Apply coconut or olive oil to your bikini area for about half an hour before showering. This will make your hair softer and easier to shave off.
• Always shave in the shower, not dry. If you are unable to shower, apply a wet towel to the bikini area for 5 minutes before shaving.
• Try coconut oil and a few drops of tea tree oil. Coconut oil moisturizes, while tea tree oil prevents irritation and swelling that usually occurs after shaving.
• You may feel itchy as your hair grows back. But itching can be prevented by using a new razor and shaving the bikini area with gentle, slow strokes. Fortunately, the itching will go away after a few times.
• Pay attention to red bumps that appear in the next few days after shaving. You can apply a special ointment to remove any swelling in the bikini area. Look for such an ointment in pharmacies or supermarkets.
• Aloe vera gel is a great shaving aid. It can also help relieve irritation and itchiness after shaving.
• Many people believe that baby powder leads to ovarian cancer. So you better refrain from using it.
• Before you shave, trim your hair with a trimmer, then shaving will be less painful and take much less time.
• Don't shave the same spot over and over again! This can lead to ingrown hairs, which is painful and ugly!

• Do not use unknown shaving creams.
• Do not shave against hair growth and in areas where irritation has already appeared.
• Don't shave dry. Once again, don't shave dry!
