is it just me, or is shaving your pubic area overrated?

i mean, keep it trimmed sure. but shaving it gets to be a pain in the puss. literally. just about everytime i shave (and ive been doing it for years) i always get ingrown hairs. sometimes they get infected and are very painful. who else has this same problem? has anyone been left with ugly scars once the bump has healed? be nice please... just hope im not the only one that goes thru this

    As I man I have to say that I don't care for the shaving. I really don't even care if you trim it. I'd sure rather lick a coochie that is hairy than one with hair bumps. In any case hair is sexy. It implies that the woman is an adult....

    I know men like it, but I do think it is a major pain. I have to do it every night or it's itchy and uncomfortable to touch, but then no matter how well I use lubricating gel, there are always ingrown hairs and bumps. I mean, trimming is one thing, but shaving just seems like a lot of work. I tried a brazilian wax, but it was nearly $100 and only lasted for about three or four weeks - then it was back to shaving. Is there anything else that really works?

    why don't you just get waxed or lasered? it's much lower maintenance. also, i think the appeal of being bare down there will be lost if the area is covered with puss-filled bumps and scars. if you are going to keep shaving maybe you need to exfoliate more often and use a single-blade razor to help prevent ingrown hairs.

    it is probable from shaving and then the area being aggravated by rubbing up against the lads once you had intercourse. in case you shave lots, waxing is definitely a greater effective thank you to circulate. it is going to reason much less inflammation and final longer. in case you extremely do no longer desire to wax, there are shave gels and additionally some creams you may get that are particularly for that area which will help cut back inflammation. yet once you are going to have different intercourse companions, you certainly could initiate utilising risk-free practices on account which you on no account be attentive to...you may get an STD which will injury your existence or you may get pregnant and not additionally be attentive to who the daddy is. think of roughly what your existence is worth...i'm particular it is not worth intercourse and not utilising a condom.

    I had this happen too. And whenever I shaved my legs I kept cutting myself really bad, so I tried a hair remover, both on my legs and public area along my bikini line. This avoids the problem of infected follicles and pain. I recommend you try a hair remover. Also when you condition your hair, be sure to condition your legs and public area after you use the remover, this will prevent itchiness.

    I shaved a few times when I was younger and hated it! Now I just leave it alone. I am married and my husband doesn't care one way or another as long as it's clean! Not worth the itching and bumps to me!

    Well, as long as you are clean...it doesn't matter if you shave or let it grow out.

    I guess shaving makes it easier for the person you are with to go down on you...other than that, no worries....:)

    No matter what it is very yummy!!!

    Yeh, it's over rated. if you don't have to do it, don't.

    Not all men like a smooth pus.sy. I like a great bush, nice and clean. I love to go face down in it. A nice trim is fine, but leave the bush. It's yummy!
