Hello. I was wondering could anyone help me with some useful advices. I'm 25 year old female and I have always cared for my self and my body hygiene.
About two days ago after showering I have noticed that hairs on my genital area are really big and I should schedule my self a depilation.
When I asked my best friend to go with me she has laughed to my face because she couldn’t believe that I'm wasting my money on this. She is shaving her genital area all her life and it looks great. But, I'm not sure I should because about three years ago I also tried this but I was disappointed with a not so clean shave, ingrown hairs and painful razor burn. Please tell me what to do!
Your friend was right. Depilation could be very expensive and you don’t have to waste your money on it.
But you should know some things about shaving genital area. Before you start with shaving you should soak in a nice hot tub for at least 10 minutes or place a hot wet towel over the pubic area to soften the hairs.
Than you must know that if this is your first shave, and your hairs are longer than 1/4 inch, you should first use some sharp scissors and trim the pubic hair to a “shaveable” length. With this you will avoid pain and possible bleeding. There is one big rule about this shaving and that is- don't try to cut costs here!
Choose a good quality shaving cream and some good, possibly expensive blade and results will be perfect.
I have been shaving my genital and anal region and last summer got my first skin tag in the area, now I have more around my anal region is this actually skin tags?, is this normal?, how do you get rid of them.
