going bare ..... getting into all the folds and such

[Reba67]

My boyfriend hinted that he'd like me to shave my pussy for him. Things went pretty well. The first attempt didn't get it all, but my pussy had had enough razor strokes, so I left it alone until the next day. I've got some bumps and such, but from my searches on here, those improve with more shaving, so so far I'm taking a few swipes daily since I started this on I think Saturday.

Today I tried again, just cleaning up some of the rougher spots and spots I completely missed. I thought I was doing really well in terms of hair being gone. But, I still have hair in the folds of the vulva.

What are good ways to get that off? I can't see it well obviously. I don't want to be too rough with a razor, obviously. Tricks? Tips?

Perhaps sitting down on the side of the tub and spreading your legs would help. You can see better than if you'd be stand and you can rest your arm on your thigh, keeping it steady.

If you like and want to continue the look, I suggest that you go the waxing route. The hair grows back softer, finer and sparser with each wax and the aesthetician will make sure that every hair is pulled.

I haven't decided yet. He surprised me by being bare this past weekend when he came over, so I asked him if he wanted me to do the same. I'm not sure how I like it just yet, but I'm trying to get past the itchy stage.

I don't have a tub. Hmm, I'll see if I can figure how to do this seated somehow or perhaps leg up on the counter. Hmmm.

Um, shaving ...right?

 

[pstephens]

uh maybe like one of those hair remove lotions like nair.

I just kind of crouch down in the shower a bit and use my free hand to pull the skin taut on the area I'm shaving. It gets really quick and much easier the more you do it of course and I haven't had any issues with itchies in years. Then again I shave every day. One note, while the skin on skin contact is amazing the repeated shaving can toughen up the skin a bit for some people leading to decreased sensitivity. I haven't had this problem, but I always rub myself down with baby oil or some type of lotion made for sensitive skin afterward just to be safe.

Like others have said, you have to spread your legs really wide. You can also get special bikini razors that are much smaller than regular leg shaving ones. They can get into the harder to reach places. You can also get clear shave gel that doesn't foam or become opaque so you can still see what you're doing. Always shave in the direction of hair growth rather than against it and invest in an unscented/hypoallergenic moisturiser to rub into the skin when you're done. I'd also recommend not shaving more often than every 48hrs or you're more likely to wind up with rashes and ingrown hairs.

I have extremely sensitive fair skin and can't use waxes or creams at all. I have no trouble with shaving however, now I'm in a routine.

I think there is special "genital area" cream. I'd not be game to use nair!


Try buying a 'personal' electric shaver - you can get a cheap one from ebay. It's small enough to get into the nooks/folds of skin, and gentle enough that there is minimal (I never get any) rash.

Try washing with a little salt water. I used to get very bad shaving rash - while the salt bath hurt a little, it reduced the severity of the rash.

 

[littlebabyclit]

If you trim the genital hair down a lot with scissors, can you shave off the rest with an electric razor the very first time?

 

[girly_dew]

do each other

I don't shave, so I may not know what I'm talking about, but if your bf appeared bare, and encouraged you to follow, it sounds like an opportunity for you two to enjoy doing each other. Shaving, I mean.

True, but that brings up the specter of things going badly wrong. After all, if poor Reba is having trouble navigating around her etc with a razor, imagine how much worse it could be if her boyfriend was trying to do it.

Well, he would have the advantage of not being folded in half like Gumby to try and reach it. I can reach it all, I just can't bend around and see most of it, especially the bits underneath. The mons pubis was easy. It's the vulva folds that are a challenge.

 

[tinawill77]

Have you thought of getting professionally waxed? It's not that expensive and you don't have to contort your body to reach all the spots.

While I"m sure he would feel horrible if he cut her, it could be easier for him to do it while she is laying back and spread than if she is trying to shave herself bent over or something.

Personally I'm more for waxing than shaving. Had to shave every couple days when I shaved there, but have been getting waxed and like it better.

 

[thatgirl2136]

I didn't read all the replies so I'm not sure if this has been mentioned. Since you don't have a tub, like me, I laid a towel on the floor and laid down then leaned up with my legs open and it worked better than anything I've tried before.


Only thing that you need to do is get up more often to rinse your razor.

 

[ayrton]

I saw a segment on the Today show, of all places, and they featured a small mirror with suction cups that is made for seeing in more intimate areas. It can be mounted anywhere. Maybe that would help.

 

[peachydreams]

I am one of the lucky ones......he does it, enjoys doing it for me, spread on the bed with a towel underneath. Of course, after a quick shower then he is always ready for me...

 

[miaction69]

opt for the lazer allover - but go to a doctor not a beautician - doctors have stronger lazer machines and it's permanent - beauticians are different rays and the result is no different that waxing
lazer is a purrrrfect solution

Isn't that quite expensive?

 

[miaction69]

I got it about 3 years ago - $500
but gone gone gone - well worth it - no scars dots ingrown hairs nuthin- just smooth

 

[newlegz]

Dont use Nair!!! Think about now close that chemical is to an opening of your body, risky!

I would recomend the little razors someone else mentioned as a great little inexpensive invention.

I'd also recomend Bikini Zone or a similar product. Basically, its a creme w/ Lidocaine in it (sometimes found in after sun products, a topical anesthetic) to help with itching. Also exfoliate your bikini line to cut down on ingrown hairs (I just use the same astringent I use on my face). I also know some people swear by baby powder.

 

[chrisj52363]

I ALWAYS shave my wife. It's so much easier for me to do it than her. Also, NAIR is a NO-NO skin is too sensitive... may end up with inflamed tissue - OUCH!!!!!!

Bikini zone is good if you want, but not if you want to play right after shaving.

I dont know about me being bare, but I LOVE the feeling of my wife being bare and she does too!

dear god no. do not put nair on your genitals.

Bless you! ... and sorry for the long reply, but maybe I can help someone.

*jumping-on-my-soapbox*
In the mall and even in corporate offices, I've noticed so many women wearing high-heeled, platform shoes that up until 10 years ago, would have been the exclusive domain of strip club stages. 10 years before that, thong panties were only available in specialty stores. One might argue that completely bare, smooth, hairless genitalia - for men and women is in this same category. Once, only for strippers and porn stars, now the accepted mainstream standard. On the beach too, men with hair on their backs and even chests are becoming an oddity, and considered personal grooming-challenged. In my opinion, this is my favorite fashion trend in 30 years. It looks better, feels better, and is just so much nicer to be close to, so I applaud you for your willingness to please him, and I hope you come to appreciate it as much as he does.
*stepping-down*

As for keeping and caring for this look, there has been much written about the subject. Yes, laser is probably the most preferred, but it can be expensive, and since it works according to pigment coloration, it may only be effective on particular skin tones and hair color. Electrolysis is another option, but time-consuming and expensive. Waxing is probably next, stays soft and smooth for up to weeks, and grows back softer. And yes, before you ask, it hurts -a lot! But really, there are things you can do to make it hurt less (pain reliever an hour before and over-the-counter topical antisthetics -use them, it doesn't have to hurt), and after the first time or two, it really does hurt less. Also, a professional is going to be able to "get into all the folds and such" better than you can. Depiliatory creams and lotions, there are various products on the market, but yes, this area is very close to tender areas, so proceed with all caution before introducing chemical burns to some place you really don't want chemical burns! Tweezing... really? this is like taking the biggest downside to waxing, and making it go on and on.

Your question was directly about shaving. (This is my wife's preferred method because of the convenience of being able to take care of this quickly while she's in the shower. You might try different razor types and a mirror. Try and use new, clean, sharp blades as often as possible. Yes, using Bikini Zone creme afterwards may help with razor burn and/or discomfort, but not for itching and razor stubble. And yes, I have tried shaving my wife -once, about 10 years ago, and no, I won't do that again.

Personally, (man's perspective) I have tried most of these methods. I shaved for a while, I never plan to do that again, mostly because the razor stubble and the regrowth is the most uncomfortable (for me and for her) from this option than all of the others. Waxing - I was unbelievably frightened and embarassed the first few times I went to waxing salons. It took me a long time to even get a haircut anywhere but a traditional, men's barber shop, any kind of "salon" I thought of as female domain. I mostly got over that, but I did find a couple of estheticians that work out of studions in their homes, and that was easier (for me). It's expensive for men, though. Depiliatory creams- I would guess that these are actually a better option for men than for women, but I can't state that with any medical expertise. I have used a couple of them, and for convenience and cost and results, I have found this to be a very reasonable solution. Guys, if you're listening, you have "openings" to stay clear of too. I once got too close to my anus with this and it hurt to walk and sit for a week!

As for the itching, the regrowth, and 'bumps,' this is a potential issue with almost all of these approaches, and the one thing I would emphasize is buy some kind of scrubbing or exfoliating cleanser and use it all the time. Nothing will help more than this to make your skin clearer and softer and help protect you from ingrown hairs. The one I like is St Ives 'invigorating' or 'fresh skin' or 'apricot scrub,' it's available almost any pharmacy, grocery, or mega-store. This will allow you to keep the skin and pores very clean without using a cloths and scrubbing 'things' which may grab hold of razor stubble and really hurt. Again, your actual mileage may vary.

Well, the verdict is that he really likes it, despite the fact that I still have a bunch of red bumps. I'm not sure yet if *I* like it, but we shall see. I hear it gets better once you get past the initial weird stage.
