Shaving

My hubby has asked if I would consider shaving, all off, smooth. I keep myself trimmed and tidy. I have a question which may be silly but how do I shave and see what I'm doing? Do I use a normal razor and shaving gel? I know these sound like silly questions but I don't wanna give myself a nasty cut etc.

I recently shaved it all off, as I’ve got a new bf (first relationship in years) and I decided to just go for it. Definitely feels sexier and glad I did as bf also shaves it all off. I bought a bikini trimmer and used that at first but now I just use shaving gel and a razor. It’s quite hard to get all of it, I can just about see if I move my belly out of the way! It can be a little itchy but it’s not as bad as I thought and I’m going to do it all the time now. Also just remembered the main reason I shaved it was because in my mid 40’s I started to get grey pubes! Definitely no

Good ideas, thank you, I'm gonna try shaving if I like it I'll look into more permanent solutions

Woo Woo hair removal cream is specially formulated for removing pubic hair and works quite well.

Oh the stubble after a few days!
Once you start you’ll have to keep it up or face the unromantic if all that stubble and itch. Noooooooo! 🥴

This. I'd never shave again for anyone!

I shave and have done for years. I leave a small amount as don't like it all gone. I use normal razors and have no problems.

Idontknowhatnametochoose · 25/01/2023 21:40

Apparently with waxing it becomes difficult to hold in wind when needed due to the lack of hair. Don't quote me but that's what I read.

NaatQ968 · 25/01/2023 21:40

I've always shaven it all off, once you get the hang of it, it's an easy upkeep.

KangarooKenny · 25/01/2023 21:42

Is he shaving lol of his off ?

I second this. It's great, and really easy to use. I've had a reaction with veet before but never with woowoo.

I usually just shave with a ladies razor. Never had any problem with cuts.

Epilator 💪

How on earth do you bare the pain?!?

Hohofortherobbers · 25/01/2023 22:05

I epilate the sides as far as I can bear, then clippers to go short on top, veet for the undercarriage and behind, keep it well away from minora area, burns like hell if it gets in there, I BLED when I accidently got veet inside Shock, a chemical burn that put paid to any fun times for a week or more

Ohnobloodysnow · 25/01/2023 21:19

Do you have hair on your clit?

Pretty near, and the way I'm made there's no way of avoiding unless I physically separated my bits for the waiting time? Is that what people do?

I would wax it's not as painful as you think- hot wax at a salon will be a million times better than the itching and ingrown hairs from shaving! Good luck!

What's wrong with looking like an adult female human?

Haha, I like how he has his but if I asked him he would give it a try.

It's really good unless you put it near a c section scar. Then it stings!

I'll have a look for woo woo cream

Just what I was thinking.
Why would a man what his partner to look prepubescent?

Maybe! Ive never got veet on mine but maybe my hair doesn't go as close.

Dery · 26/01/2023 00:23

“What's wrong with looking like an adult female human?”

This is my thinking, too. For me, adults have pubic hair. I wouldn’t want my DH hair-free in that area either. But i am well into middle age and really no-one is interested in gazing at my pussy!!!

SkiingIsHeaven · 26/01/2023 00:25

Use his electric beard trimmer but be careful

Yeah. I don't get that either, does he watch too much porn and want that look?

CombatBarbie · 26/01/2023 00:34

I use coconut oil and find it gives smoother finish and the regrowth itch isn't as bad.

Got2besoon · 26/01/2023 00:41

Sorry another vote for Why?

It gives me the ick if a man wants you to look like a young girl or porn star.

I used to shave back in my teens and the regrowth itch was horrendous.
