Shaving?

[SarahS2404]

Hi Everyone!

I'm currently 24 weeks and struggling to shave down there while in the shower so looking at getting a lady shaver that I can use.

Does anyone have any recommendations as I have no idea where to start??

Thankyou :)

I wish I had kept it up! I'm at 38 weeks and it's got too wild! I'm sure if I had kept it up from the start then I wouldn't be in this situation

I left it for a couple of weeks but got to the point where I can't stand it 😫

I'm sure if I had a bath rather than just a shower it wouldn't be too bad haha!

Could your partner maybe help?

I really recommend Phillips one blade.
It's for men's faces really but is really really very good. It doesn't pull or anything and you can choose the length you like. X

weeblueberry I was just thinking of a way to do it without mithering & incase he's out one night when I feel like pampering myself and doing it all.

feedmyfacewithbattenburg Really? I've seen them but didn't think I'd be able to use it on my "downstairs area" :)

I have one but I still can't really shave because I can't see past the bump...

Get a wax!

@SarahS2404 I use it all over!
My skin is so sensitive so I can't clean shave, but it's perfect for a close enough shave no one notices!!

@FeedMyFaceWithBattenberg perfect! I'll definitely look into one then. My skin can be very sensitive at times so it sound like a good buy :) Thankyou!!

Got DP to assist with trimming (results weren't great ) and then just got a wax at 31 weeks. Hoping that will see me through and less for him to keep trimmed!

I know I'm pregnant and people will see my bits when I'm giving birth but I'm not sure about going to get it waxed & don't know what to expect :/

I have mine waxed all the time! Honestly it's not as scary or as cringe as you'd think!! I just think these girls see down belows at least 4/5 times a day so mine will be nothing new to them it stays hair less for about 6 weeks, amazing!! I've already booked in mine for 2 weeks before my due date hehe x

And not knowing what to expect they cover you with a towel and only move small sections of the towel, you're never fully naked

Hair less for 6 weeks sounds amazing haha!!
I don't know why I'm so worried when in a few months when I'm giving birth the whole world will have seen it (or atleast I imagine that's how it will feel)

That's a bit close to your due date laurenann - baby could come anytime so could end up not getting done in time (crisis!) or baby arriving shortly afterwards and believe me you don't want to add potential soreness and irritation down there even if you're used to it. I'm going latest 36 weeks to be on safe side

Honestly who cares. Your baby certainly won't.

Sounds like a good plan chicken I'll push it forward two weeks too 👍🏼

Well obviously people do care Kenneth or they wouldn't ask the question - I can't see how anything that makes me (or anyone else) feel more clean and comfortable is for anyone else to care about or not!

I'm not doing it for my baby or the nurses. I'm doing it for myself. I prefer to be hairless than hairy!

Nick husbands beard trimmer.

As for keeping hair trim, I'm sure baby and midwives won't mind but I don't particularly want long hair getting matted with lochia

I went for a brazilian at 38 weeks. Never usually get waxed but it was a great experience. The salon uses Lycon wax which is sensitive and as low pain as possible. But we've got to get used to pain down there so i didnt mind! It was a wild bush down there after leaving it so long and she made light work of it. Feels amazing and ready to share with the world during labour now!!
