onelifetolive Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Ladies, what is the best way to shave down there. Like 100% front part, underneath, everything! What will get it the smoothest? Does Nair or any kind of those products work? If so which ones? Thank you! Im going to the store soon!! lol Link to comment
doityourself Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I dont know if you've ever tried Veet before but it works great, I dont even use the little razor looking thing they give, I use a washclothe to get it off. Very simple, but the results dont last as long as shaving or waxing. Link to comment
ohdammm Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I wouldnt use any type of product down there to be honest. Nair even specifes not to. Your best bet is to shave. I shave every three days. If i shave everyday it doesnt stay smooth, but every three days it does. Really just depends on how coarse and how much hair you have. You just need to be careful if you do decide to use any type of product because "down there" is a sensitive area and you dont want to risk getting any type of infection. The reason we have hair is to fight off bacteria, so using chemicals could put you at risk for a yeast infection... and we know you dont want that! Link to comment
doityourself Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Oh yea and Veet stinks pretty good to. Link to comment
Cognitive_Canine Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Are you a guy? If so, don't shave down there. Just use an electric razor to "cut it back". Some girls prefer shaven. I definitely don't. Link to comment

ur02111222 Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I've used the bikini nair on the top area and the sides, but anything closer, I use the razor. Shave the direction of the hair, use a new razor, and find shaving gel that doesn't irritate you. I generally always get a few ingrowns and bumps though. Blegh. Link to comment
onelifetolive Posted October 1, 2009 Author Share Posted October 1, 2009 what about like underneath? lol ..sorry to be graphic but im always too scared to shave there bc its kinda like..under everything! and a tight space! Link to comment
ohdammm Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 what about like underneath? lol ..sorry to be graphic but im always too scared to shave there bc its kinda like..under everything! and a tight space! umm lol if you want the hair gone your going to have to shave it.. the best way i found to do this is to lift my leg up on the wall and bend over.. if you still have a hard time seeing then maybe grab a mirror? usually putting your leg up on the wall and bending over is good though.

Catdancer Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I shave it all. And underneath is really hard until you get used to doing it. I do it by feel. And above poster is right, always use a new razor and get some good shave gel. I use an extra moisturing one that helps prevent break outs. I havent tried Nair or Veet. About 20 years I tried Nair and it sucked. I may have to tru it again. I have some friends that use the Nair Sensitive and they swear by it. Link to comment
CatsMeeoow Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I use the Body Bare.... love it.... works wonderful! link removed Link to comment
Amberelise Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I don't shave because I can't stand the razor bumps. I use a beard trimmer on the shortest setting and shave everything. I've never had a complaint. I've also gotten brazilians done, and obviously they're the best option, but expensive. Link to comment
TechResQ Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I use the Body Bare.... love it.... works wonderful! link removed Oh HAHAHA...I was just on that website and it was making me laugh..."Bush", "Bite" ...sorry, just found it kinda funny. I think I might get one though!! Looks awesome! Link to comment
PsychGirly Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 If you're asking how to shave your labias, just put one leg up on something to support it, and with two fingers, spread one labia & shave, then spread the other one & shave. You can also do it laying down with your legs spread, whichever you prefer. I usually put lotion all around that area before I get in the shower. It makes your skin smooth & prevents razor irritation. Link to comment
pinkelephant Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 i swear by the skinimate sensitive skin shaving gel and just shave it. first, in the direction of hair growth and then by the end, if i still want it to be smoother, i put a little more gel on and do against the hair growth. my skin is really sensitive but i don't get razor burn this way. some people i know swear by hair conditioner? in my opinion, that's a pretty expensive shaving cream... but maybe it'll be better for some? i tried it with my redken soft hair conditioner and i was better off using skinimate.

diamond78 Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Ok, don't think I'm crazy, but I actually got this idea from a man who has coarse hair. He uses conditioner instead of gel to help soften the hair and skin. So, what I do is let my hairs and skin soften up by placing a warm towel in that area or by having a nice warm bath first. Then, I place the conditioner (I highly recommend Tropical Coconut by Suave) on the hairs. Let it sit for a few....the hairs and skin will soften. Then shave with a nice sharp blade...I use the Venus 4-blade. I run some hot water on the blade first...and then I go to town. Sometimes you might have to lather more conditioner on the hairs throughout. The love nest area will fill so soft and smooth after you're done. Of course, be careful to not get anything up inside the ol' hoohaa or you're asking for a yeast infection. I actually shave while in the tub and I'm a girl with some extra meat on her bones, so if I can contortion enough to get all up underneath I'm sure you can figure it out too... hehe Conditioner is the way to go. I've converted alot of people to it, especially those with sensitive skin. Link to comment
ohdammm Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 ahh conditioner.. i never thought about that.. good idea. Link to comment
Jd1983 Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I usually sit down on edge on my bathtub and "spread em". lol First wet the area, and then apply shaving gel (I usually use skintimate). You start from the top and work your way down. Link to comment
vertigoxo Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 I shave everything down there. Everything. However, I'm always annoyed with getting nicks and cuts here and there, and get ingrown bumps and crap. :S I am thinking of getting this product soon; link removed Does seem to have a lot of good reviews, so why not? Also, is it safe to shave every 3 days? Is getting a professional wax (to remove everything) really worth it? Link to comment

I've been doing it for years. Just that the hair seems to grow faster when you shave. I got a brazilian wax once and never got it again. I spent $70 on it, and it was the most painful feeling ever. Worst than my tattoos. I literally had tears rolling down my eyes and I was sure thankful she was done. I agree it may look a bit sexy, but I can shave myself in a matter of 5 minutes.

shera Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 don't shave-wax...smoothest, softest part of your body right aftwerwards! feels amazing!!! Link to comment
onelifetolive Posted October 2, 2009 Author Share Posted October 2, 2009 thanks everyone...if anyone has any other ideas let me know! haha...i need helpp lol Link to comment
Bella20 Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 I get waxed.... everything, and that works really well for me. First, I don't have to worry about doing it for around 20/25 days (this may vary a little when you take into account how fast your hair grows), and I mean, yes, it hurts for about 10 minutes, but then that's it, I forget about it. That's what I'd recommend. Link to comment
