Shaving or Trimming...?

I want to start shaving or trimming my pubic area, but I want to know which way is easier, quicker, and possibly less painful.

Could you also explain how to trim or shave? I've never done this before, so tips are helpful.

Thank you so much!

    Personally, I would stay away from razors. You don't want to end up with razor burn or cuts down there. Besides, when it grows back, it will not be soft, and it will be itchy.

    I would recommend laser (if you can afford it). The results (if well done, so do some research first) will be great and last for a long time. Though the initial investment is costly, overtime you will save a lot of money.

    Another option I would recommend is waxing. For the first few times, don't try to do it yourself (it could end up in a disaster). Go to a salon and get it done professionally. It hurts, but the pain is totally worth it. Besides, if it is done properly, the pain isn't that bad and it's really quick. The results will be amazing... Soft, smooth skin, and you'll be hair free for weeks. When the hair will grow back, it won't be as hard as if you shaved.

    You could also try one of those hair removal cream. Make sure you take one for sensitive areas. Try a little bit on your arm/wrist first to make sure you don't react to it, and follow the instructions.

    If you want to trim, grab a pair of scissors, clean them (use alcohol wipes), and just cut the hair as short as you want it. Don't forget to alcohol wipe your scissors afterwards too. If you can, use a small pair of scissors, as it will be a lot easier to manoeuvre.

    You might want to do it in the shower (or right before) so you can easily clean yourself after you are done. You might also want to use a mirror, especially if you've never done it before. It will allow you to see what you are doing.

    To trim use blunt end scissors & trim until it looks neat,use a small battery shaver to shave the bikini line ie:the straddlers that poke out of your pantie line above the waistband & the leg line,never use razors in case of nicks & rashes on this delicate area use aloe vera gel or vit E oil after to soothe.If you want to shave all of it do the same as the bikini line but be very careful around the inner labia & near the vagina opening. Just be sure everything's hygienically clean.Or if you are really brave used wax strips or get it done professionally.What ever you decide proceed with caution.Hope it helps,good Luck.

    well shaving is a little bit easier but it has a few steps in it .

    as far as trimming that is pretty easy but in order to trim you need to have longer hair down there.

    shaving is kind like shaving your legs but you don't use shaving cream on your pubic area the best way to shave your pubic hair is to first get the area wet like when you take a shower would be easier

    and then just use a clean new razor for sensitive skin and shave your pubic area but don't push down with the shaver let it glide across your skin but be careful you don't cut your self and always after shaving put lotion on that area you shaved so your pubic area between your legs and your thighs .

    the lotion will help moisten the area because the hair down there protects the skin down there and you might get red bumps the first time you do shave down there .

    if you hair is longer down there you want to first trim it as low as you can with a sharp clean scissors.

    some times if you have a boyfriend it is fun to trim each other like you trim him and he trims you

    Well i am a male so it should be just as frightening to shave such a beautiful area as it is to shave your balls which is Not so sexy.. but you need a clean almost new razor each time, you cant use a rusty or old razor. Never share razors either. Next you must add soap, shampoo, or shaving cream. Never shave dry or else you will cut yourself. DOnt be afraid if you have a good ammount of soap.

    For me, I like to just shave it all off. It's faster and it feels better. (to me anyway) But if you do shave, shave down, do not shave up. You will get ingrown hairs and it is really painful.

    Trimming is okay, but it takes longer if you want it to be right. Just take special scissors and go to town. Just be careful.
