Bikini Line Hair Problem - Your Guide To Pubic Hair Removal

Unsightly pubic hair can be a real problem, get rid of it the easy and effective way

Shaving
This is the most common type of pubic hair removal. It is cheap and effective, if not a bit dangerous. Most women use a razor and if you decide to do the same, remember to use a safety razor designed for bikini line hair removal. Electric razors are more expensive but are less of a hassle to use and a slightly safer.
Most women find shaving a quick and convenient short-term method of bikini line hair management but frequent pubic hair shaving can be both painful and inconvenient. Side effects can include razor bumps/burns and other skin irritations and stubble growth between shaves can lead to itching and ingrown hairs. Not to mention the whole beaver effect.
Bikini Wax
Bikini wax is a good long-term option. As hair is pulled out from the roots, it won't grow back for four to six weeks. Not surprisingly, the treatment can be seriously painful, and many women are reluctant to use this method of pubic hair removal for this very reason. It's worth remembering though that the pain should be less with every treatment as you get used to it. Sometimes this is also referred to as the Brazilian Wax treatment.
Epilators
These are electric

devices that when applied to the skin pull hair out by the roots. Hair may not return for up to four weeks so they can be quite a good long-term method of pubic hair removal, similar to waxing. These devices used to be painful to use but current products are reportedly less so as they numb the skin as they work by charging some electric to deaden the pain receptors before the pulling the hairs. Very short hairs can be removed too so stubble and ingrown hairs are less of a problem.
Depilatory Lotions
Please note that the depilatory lotions are strong chemicals that can take as little as ten minutes to dissolve hair. Most are designed for bikini line hair removal but should used with caution. Never use them on the pubic area other than along the bikini line as the chemicals can burn the skin or cause severe allergic reactions. Always carry out a skin test on a small patch of skin before using a depilatory cream. Don't use products designed for removing hair on the face: the pubic area is more sensitive and thus the lotion is less abrasive.
