Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear. Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair.These days No One wants to be Fuzzy Wuzzy "down there"? Bare in mind, the best to remove that hair would be to take a trip to your local salon or spa. Although, that has some drawbacks. Not everyone has a local salon or spa to do the deed, or for that matter the funds. Maybe you're uncomfortable disrobing in front of a total stranger and having them rip out your pubic hair with hot wax. Fair enough. If a salon isn't for you then there are a number of at home options to try. Depilatory Creams Depilatory creams are available at your local pharmacy. Essentially, these creams generally contain two chemicals (sodium thioglycolate and calcium thioglycolate) that when combined, dissolve keratin, the substance that makes up hair. In most cases, you simply apply the cream (you'll need to apply a fairly thick layer for pubic hair), wait a few minutes and rinse the cream off. Be sure to wash all of the cream off when you're finished, and don't use anything that would dry or irritate the skin further (like soap) for several hours. You'll be super smooth, as the hair is removed down to the root. Most likely your results will last for two to three weeks. But, be careful, the chemicals in depilatory creams can easily cause irritation, which none of us want, down there. And if the cream drips to the "wrong place," oooh exactly, and please do a patch test on the hair on your arm or leg first to make sure you're not going to have a reaction to the cream itself. You need about a quarter inch of hair for depilatory creams to work best, so you'll most likely have stubble in between applications. Home Waxing or Sugaring Follow the manufacturer's directions for heating the wax or sugar compound. Apply the hot wax or sugar to the desired area and cover it with the included cloth strip. When the wax has cooled, pull the cloth strip off in the opposite direction of your hair growth, pulling the hairs out by the root. Remove stray hairs with a set of tweezers. Again, because your hair is removed to the root, you'll be super smooth for weeks. Obviously, there's some pain involved, which can make it difficult to do on yourself. Waxing can also be hard to do alone if you're trying to remove hair anywhere beyond your standard bikini line. Position yourself in front of a mirror if possible. Better yet, enlist your partner for another pair of familiar hands and eyes. You need about a fourth of an inch of hair for waxing or sugaring to work, so you'll need to re-wax every two to three weeks with some stubble in between.
Shaving with a Standard Razor Shaving is the most popular method of keeping pubic hair under control. Always use a sharp blade. If you have long pubic hairs, first trim them with clippers or scissors. Electric clippers are good for this purpose. On the first stroke go, with the grain, to remove most of the hair. Then another stroke, against the grain, for a smooth, close shave. Shaving with a traditional razor shaves off a layer of skin around the hair follicle, which causes red bumps, tiny nicks and ingrown hairs. You can minimize the effects by applying shaving cream a few minutes before shaving to soften hairs. Also taking a warm bath before shaving will soften your pubic hair. You can shave everyday if need be. So if you just can't stand ever having stubble, this solution keeps your skin smooth and free of hair more conveniently than any other. It's also low cost and low effort compared to the other options. Just be careful down there with that blade!
Shaving with an Electric Razor Just like shaving with a traditional razor, but with the good old electric razor. There are some differences though. Instead of shaving off a layer of skin, like a traditional razor does, an electric razor just pushes down the skin near the hair follicle, reducing your chances of getting red bumps and ingrown hair. Your re-growth should also be a little softer than it is with a razor blade. You'll need at least a quarter inch of hair for an electric razor to work, so you can't smooth down every day. Also, be careful with electric razors and bathrooms full of water. Because shaving leaves the hair's root intact, your hair will grow back faster than it would with waxing or depilatories. You'll also need to wait for some re-growth for your hair to be long enough for the razor to work, about one week. Hey Guys, pubic hair removal is not just for the ladies. Women don't like flossing on pubic hairs anymore than you do. Maybe waxng isn't your thing, you don't have to take it all off. At least consider a close trim with a pair or scissors or clippers. Clean things up a little down there. Especially if your a sweaty fellow, with less hair down there, you'll have less hair to hold the sweat and odor. Warning: Letting hair grow out after shaving your pubic area can be a temporary hell. The sharp hairs combined with the sensitive skin will make you realize just how much you move that area each day. People with sensitive skin may wish to avoid depilatory creams and shaving altogether. Instead opting for a close trim, waxing or sugaring. If you chose to shave, consider shaving cream made for sensitive skin and use a hypoallergenic moisturizer afterwards.
