Surprising DH with no pubic hair!

[SunSeaSand55]

So I'm too chicken to get a wax done but would love to be completely bald down below out of curiosity and the surprise element I suppose.
Can I use hair removal cream all over to get it off?
Do others like hair, no hair or don't you care?

I use an electric lady shaver to take it all off. I can imagine a wet shave very painful. I prefer no hair personally and it feels cleaner. DH hasn't ever mentioned a preference but that's what I prefer.

My wife uses a standard wet razor, I think it's a Venus, seems to work well.

the problem with shaving is the itch when it grows back, hair removal creams can really cause skin irritation even the ones that say they are for sensitive areas. Waxing is not as bad as you think especially if don’t by a professional.

like you I did it as a surprise for my husband, I’d never done anything to my pubic hair before I met him. Now I have had IPL, and only need to top it up every 6 months or so.

We have an IPL machine
my wife used to shave or get waxed
the IPL stops the growth for a lovely smooth area
works best on dark hair not cheap but a permanent solution so works for us

Looking at myself in the mirror, I can’t remember what l looked like with pubic hair. I’ve been all off since my late teens, I’m in my 40s now!

i’ve gone full circles more than once from Veet to shaving to regular waxes and back again.

Reactions from those who have seen it have been mixed. But this is me!

Veet Sensitive works for some but you MUST do the spot test first. For example l can use it but my sister (same parents) reacts badly to it. Others find it is not effective. You may have to do a little coaxing of the hair with a razor.

Shaving is another option. If you do it as part of your daily shower routine and use hair conditioner as opposed to shaving gel etc, any itch vanishes after a few days and from my experience do not return.

Waxing works best, gives the smoothest finish and is longer lasting, but you have to put up with the regrowth. Take 2 paracetamol the first time and don’t have sex the same day. But after a few times, once the body is used to it, it’s a walk in the park.

Whatever you do, it is far more comfortable in the warm weather.

I just use a venus razor. I've always shaven bald, its just what I prefer. Some of my partners said they enjoyed hairy but thats just tuff 😂

Thanks all. It's the hair in awkward places I don't think I'd be able to shave! Might end up bleeding haha. I've ordered some woo woo cream. Will defo do a spot test first. Let's hope all goes well. We're away this weekend so would you recommend doing it the day before or more?
Let's hope he likes it!

I would be careful first time around as I struggled badly with itchy growback and ingrowing hairs. Maybe do it the day before? Obviously everyone is different but I was covered in itchy red bumps a few days after I first did it. I used to have to dry brush the area regularly to cope with the itching. I have now abandoned the creams and do a mixture of waxing and shaving and I use Tend Skin regularly.
I hope it goes well!

Anything new to the body allow at least 2 days!

More importantly than any man liking it is that you like it! I’m a great believer in us loving our own bodies.

Finally, the underarm is a different area but a reasonable indicator, and usually one familiar with hair removal, as to how the body will respond.

Similar to @StarlightLady my pubic hair has been gone for a long time. I started to trim and shave not long after I got it and did that for a few years, although it is always itchy and grows back quickly. It was all gone by my late teens and I preferred his and started to get it all waxed, which was much better than shaving but not without pain and regular trips to my waxer,

I got it all lasered a few years ago, which if you do prefer being hairless down there or having quite a lot of it removed is definitely the way to go.

Skin calm (anti insect bite cream) is good for shaving rash.

Was laser removal painless/easy?

I went hair free years ago...started similar to you as a surprise and he just loved it and still does....always compliments me still

I've tried all, although not woo woo. Shaving was pretty effective but regular maintenance....didn't have itch really. By far best is waxing for me and is a regular part of my beauty regime.

Go for it girl...he will love it however you get there!

Let us know how it goes

I vary, I sometimes take it all off and I use Veet as I hate the re-growth and ingrown hairs from waxing. I find I feel a lot sweatier without hair though, and I don't like the sensation of clothes against my bare skin there (neurodiverse sensory thing). However, I'm on the kink scene and I guess it's kind of expected for most people, male and female, to be hairless. My DH loves pubes (one of his partners shaped hers into a heart), he doesn't like it at all when I get rid of them, but he's not my only partner so I vary according to who I'm meeting with. One thing I don't touch though is my armpits and leg hair, I love having hair there (not that many people can tell as it's blond and fine)

Having recently tried hot wax (Lycon) I can never go back to any other way. It barely pains (and I have an extremely low pain threshold). I even look forward to it now 😳

In my 50s and mostly hair free for 30ish years and tried everything.
With shaving, I get uncomfortable stubble within 48hrs. Unless I shave all but daily, I'll be uncomfortable for ar leastca week.
Creams didn't work for me. They just didn't get rid of the hair very well.
I tried an intimate epilator, but the results weren't great and the risk of getting painfully pinned was high.
Self waxing was a PITA.
Getting waxed was a revelation. It took some getting used to, and I can be a little tender for 24hrs, but only a very very little. The effects are way smoother, way more comfortable and last for 2-4 months. I've only hand an ingrowing hair a few times in 20+yrs of waxing as i use exfoliating gloves daily when i shower for the first couple of weeks.
And having been in a sexless marriage for a decade and now single, I only do this for me, I like it, but would love it to be appreciated by someone else.

i have posted in this thread previously.

what did you decide OP?

I just wet shave - trimmed down first with scissors

There are a whole variety of options available these days for those of us who prefer to be without body hair, so the main thing is to experiment until we find something that works. For example I find public hair rather thick and tough so if I leave the various creams on long enough to dissolve it, it makes me sore. Though I'm aware that others find them excellent. For day to day hair removal I find shaving works best. Over time skin adapts to the various things we do to it, so whilst I remember getting spotty occasionally in the early days, I don't have that problem now, even if I go 'against the grain'. I have one hand on the razor and the other to gently spread the skin and stretch it out so I can get at what needs to be tackled. Now I've been doing it for years, shaving my intimate areas is no more difficult than doing my knobbly knees!

Use Veet sensitive skin. You can use Aloe Vera as a cooling/soothing agent.

I have been bare now for nearly 20 years. I think used to be very expected and when I met DH he was equally very happy I was bare. He much prefers so I have maintained it. Can’t really imagine having hair below and frankly would maintain it for myself now as I like how it feels clean and also sensitive. Also makes me feel feminine which I know would send some on MN into a spiral, but it does 😊

@hellohellothere Yes very easy and almost painless, so much less painful than waxing. 6-8 treatments is usually what is needed for full, long-term removal but it started to reduce and not grown back after the first or second treatment for me. I did 6 initially and then 1 the last 2 years but nothing has been growing back and I have not had to shave at all. I much prefer how it feels and looks and it is just very convenient not having to shave or get ingrown hairs etc.

It's a good wax for me, all off & much cleaner and neater, masts much longer.

My beautician comes to the house and gets right down to the back so that it's a FULL wax.

It is painful (more when I'm due on period) I just take paracetamol & ibuprofen an hour before and that helps.

OP hasn't replied if being smooth was a hit or a miss with her DH. Maybe she's too deliriously happy to reply or too embarrassed, hmm. Though I haven't met a man yet who doesn't like a smooth lady.
