To ask advice on drastic pubic hair removal- how do you do it?

[Verygentlydoesit]

I realise it is not to everyone's taste, but I have decided that I would like to remove most of my pubic hair. I've read several threads in the subject, and I realise how controversial it is, but it's what I want to do.

I'm naturally pretty hairy, currently shave around sides, trim the rest.

I definitely want to remove everything 'underneath'; most, if not all of front, and I have a tricky 'between buttocks' bit to deal with.

I'm not sure whether to wax, shave or use cream- or maybe a combination.

I would really appreciate some advice from MNers who do this- what method do you use, how often do you do it, any other tips.

So the older you are the bushier you are, I must be 125.

sonly it's cheaper and quicker than a facelift only slightly less painful though

It's only a general rule, but pubes definitely have fashions. You were meant to have a ridiculous poker straight thin strip when I was 18/21ish. Then we had vajazzales and the world became unknown to me so I stopped caring.

I remember reading as a teenager (I'm 36) that a straight landing strip would make you look thinner! It was absolutely unheard of when I was at school to remove all hair, known as a "shaven haven" and the preserve of porn stars and prossies. I think it's much more normal now, especially among those younger than I. I read an interview in mid-2000s with Gwyneth Paltrow saying she'd had a Brazilian and it had changed her life, I was intrigued! I must say it has changed my life entirely for the better in that small sphere so, thank you Gwyneth!

Talk about shallow.

Laser hair removal, without a doubt. I shaved for years but couldn't stand the regrowth and little spots etc, so tried a wax, only to discover I'm allergic to it. (You can't imagine what my armpits looked like after that, or the pain). Anyway last month I finished my laser treatments and I'm over the moon with the results, my best investment in years.

Snoot... This just goes to prove ...' You don't know what you don't know'. Just googled silky mitts ..I'd never heard of them before. Not sure if they do pubic versions as all this rubbing in circular motions one way and then the other might be a bit much down there! but definitely going to get for her legs ... Thankyou
