Tidying up ‘downstairs’

[AbigailB]

Hi everyone, I’ve lost some weight and looking forward to getting away and being in a bikini for the first time in what seems forever.

Now downstairs I’ve only ever trimmed with scissors to keep it tidy, but I’m wondering if I need to try to shave or wax? I’d be really interested in tips and advice. I don’t think I’d be confident to wax and less so to go to a professional, but I’ll see what people say x

I find it an interesting observation that when o/p asks the question does she need to shave or wax, the answers are exlusively advice on how to, not whether she needs to.

it would seem that not shaving/waxing or removing hair is such an alien concept it doesn’t occur to people.

Eh? No it’s not. Op asked for tips and advice and that’s what she got. If she doesn’t want to she certainly doesn’t have to. Personally, I prefer not to look like a yeti so I have it done. I really don’t care what anyone else does or doesn’t do or actually what anyone else thinks of me for doing it, or not.

I use a trimmer to keep the length short. Think I have a babylis one that's currently about 10 years old. Then I use hair removal cream on my bikini line itself when I can be bothered or going swimming. Works fine and very rarely have any ingrown hair or irritation.

I do find I'm much more sweaty in that area when it's tidier.
