Removing pubic hair

[bluedabadeedabadoo]

Good morning all. How is everyone removing pubic hair nowadays (all of it).
I usually use removal cream but I’m overly sensitive and have come out in lots of red spots.
Shaving brings me out in red spots.
I don’t fancy waxing. Are there any other options out there?
Perhaps the electric shavers? What are they like, do they offer a close shave?
Home laser treatment- how does this work with public hair?

I trim it short with an electric bikini trimmer.

Laser?

Wtf. People are entitled to remove their own hair if they want to.

Bush balm!!!

The OP said her pubic region is sensitive and covered in red spots from her hair removal technique. But it’s common for many people for most/all hair removal techniques.

I don’t want to be “perfectly smooth like a dolphin”. Is that aspirational? Also unless you have laser removal, it just regrows. Isn’t that worse than just having the hair? I don’t find the hair annoying.

My legs, I don’t shave. Sometimes epilate. I don’t find it painful, there is no ongoing expense, there is no damage to my skin. But I’m not that bothered about hair removal tbh. Children don’t have hairless legs anyway!

"paedo" - check
Just need "internalised misogyny" and "The Patriarchy" for a full house :)

I get this argument, and OP has a choice and a right to advice.

However...lets not pretend that it is a healthy or natural way to be. Porn has driven this and im so glad i was a young woman in the 80's when men were just glad to get some action?
Mind you have been single a long while, so if this is the expectation now I think i may be too much for a man now..in many ways!!😆

Same, I prefer a little length as it’s just easier to maintain. Occasionally epilate the bikini line.

Why? Because that’s society’s expectation now?

"self harm", give over.

It's not my personal tastes but if the OP wants to take it all off, who cares?

OP I second Bush Balm for the spots. I shave or use hair removal cream to keep tidy downstairs and swear by it for getting rid of them.

Ewww at comparing a bald fanny to a dolphin.

As someone in their 50s, I think it would only be weird to me because I’ve never done it iyswim.
if you’re used to have hair somewhere (let’s say arm pit), still removing that hair when you’re 50 is just normal.

@bluedabadeedabadoo I have and still am using an epilator for the sides. Done so for about 20+ years. I’d say a proper waxing (with hot wax, not strips) is much less painful.
i can’t imagine doing a full epilation with it.

I only recently discovered it and it really helps with the bikini line. No irritation whatsoever and judging my reviews it’s the same when used all over.

I don’t think I’m brave enough to whip it all off but enjoy a little topiary 😂

More likely because thats what the OP is used to. Just like many women find it nicer to have their underarm waxed (or shaved etc…) too.
Sometimes, it’s not that deep.

The conversation as to why would women wax there is 20 years too late. Just like it would be weird nowadays to ask why a woman wax their legs or under arms.

Ok so why is she used to it?

Invest in laser treatment in the profesional salon, did wonders for me :)

No, because I feel more comfortable 🙄

I used to always hot wax, but I’ve switched to IPL and been really happy with it.

Also good luck to you, this topic always brings out the people who apparently misread it as “please vote on what I should do with my own body.”

I use a bikini genie as I’ve never found a way of going full bald that doesn’t make me go red and spotty either. Following with interest! Ignore the people telling you to leave it alone, your pubes your choice.

Just make but I may try woo woo. I don’t always get red spots unless I don’t leave enough time between uses or shave on top (If it hasn’t quite removed it all or want to shave it after a few days of re-growth).

I invested in a Philips Lumea because so many people raved about it on MN and I have to say I'm not that impressed. I'm persevering with my legs but it's still hot wax at a salon for the pubes!

Hot wax every 4 (or maximum 5) weeks. The key is to not let the hair get too long as that’s when it’s painful.
Waxing isn’t exactly relaxing but after a few times it doesn’t hurt particularly, it’s just annoying that it’s quite expensive at a salon and not really a DIY project.

indeed. It gives me the willies just to think about it!

Again, why?

I'm like this, I've really tried with all different kinds of razors but as soon as it starts growing back the itching and soreness is unbearable. I epilate my legs when I can be bothered but that's it these days
