Throughout history, to be bare or not to be bare down there has been a personal choice, both hygienically and aesthetically. Interestingly enough, some of the same methods used centuries ago are used today, but they have evolved throughout history. Art connoisseurs will tell you that both male and females depicted in art from all eras have pubic hair not only removed but also designed into shapes such as hearts or stars!Shaving is one option that has changed dramatically over the years. From the days of using straight razors on bare skin to the days of using men’s razors and homemade soap for shaving (Ouch on both methods!), pubic shaving has definitely made strides. Use these tips when choosing shaving as your affordable and safe option for removing hair "down there".
Scissors first, if you’re a first-time shaver, or it’s been awhile, make sure to use scissors for a quick trim. This ensures that long, matted hair doesn’t clog or dull your razor.
Secondly, pubic hair is coarse, so it’s best to take a long hot soak in the tub or a leisurely shower before shaving, allowing the pubic hair to become supple and softer.
Third, consider creating a design in your pubic hair. Use a stencil shaped like a heart, triangle or happy face before shaving.
Fourth, choose a quality-made razor with a new blade. Razors made for women usually work best for both males and females, as they’re generally designed to flow with the natural curves of the body.
Fifth, and probably the most overlooked aspects of shaving the pubic area is making sure to use products that are designed especially for pubic hair. Never use traditional shaving cream. One of the main reasons for choosing shaving over other hair removal options is that it gives you control over exactly how much hair you remove. With regular shaving cream, all you do is cover the hair, which means you can’t see where you’re shaving. Choose a gel for optimal visibility and make certain it features added moisturizers for an incredibly smooth shave. Such moisturizers will also protect you from cuts, nicks and painful razor burn.
Sixth, just because you’ve finished shaving doesn’t mean you’re finished. Use post-shaving soothing lotions for preventing ingrown hairs, irritation and itching. Moisturize with a soothing cream that contains natural ingredients such as aloe and Vitamins B and E in caring for your shaved pubic area.
Follow these pubic hair removal tips and purchase products made for the delicate area "down there" and you are guaranteed to have a pleasurable, smooth and sexy shave.
