Among the many topics of women's intimate care, shaving of private hair has always been a topic of great interest. Some women believe that shaving pubic hair can reduce odor and bacterial growth and improve the cleanliness of their intimate areas. Other, women choose to shave because they find pubic hair aesthetically pleasing. Still other women shave their pubic hair because of their sexual partner's preference or athletic demands. But is this behavior really necessary, and what are the potential risks and benefits? Today we will explore private hair removal and provide some tips for safe hair removal.
What's the deal with pubic hair?
In both men and women, pubic hair is used as part of the secondary sex characteristics. Usually during puberty, elevated levels of sex hormones (such as testosterone and estrogen) in the body stimulate the growth of pubic hair. In keeping with the idea that existence is rational, the existence of pubic hair has its scientific basis. Like our nose hair and eyelashes, pubic hair keeps our pubic area warm and moist, and protects our delicate skin from friction during sexual activity. In addition, pubic hair absorbs and disperses sweat during excessive sweating, helping to keep the vulva dry and comfortable. Secondly, pubic hair provides a layer of protection against foreign bodies, bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms, thus reducing the risk of infection.
For the most part pubic hair protects us and there is no physical or medical reason to remove it. However more and more women are choosing to remove their pubic hair for a variety of external reasons. Of course there is nothing wrong with you choosing to do so, it's your own body. But for the sake of your health it is necessary to choose something appropriate and safe.
Our Recommended Hair Removal Methods
Trimming
Everyone has a different level of lush pubic hair growth. If you just don't want your pubic hair to leak out when you wear a bikini, then a simple trim will do the trick. It's aesthetically pleasing and doesn't pose a threat to your health. A pair of scissors can be used at home or you can buy a special trimmer for your pubic hair. One thing I should warn you is that trimmed pubic hair can be a bit prickly and once you trim it, you will have to trim it more often as it will grow faster and thicker.
Shaving
If you prefer a bare pubic area, you can shave it flush like a beard. But this faces this set of problems, which is likely to hurt the tender skin of your pubic area, causing rashes and follicular infections. If your boyfriend shaves, he probably understands the feeling. You can use his shaving foam or create some lather with soap and apply it to your pubic hairs to soften the texture of the hairs so that they can be shaved more smoothly and are less prone to injury.
Depilatory cream
If you have vaginitis or vulvitis yourself, the vulvar part can be congested and sensitive, and the presence of pubic hair can add to the irritation. In this case, you can opt for a depilatory cream to remove the pubic hair. Of course you need to be careful when choosing a hair removal cream, choose one that is designed for sensitive skin and follow the instructions. Hair removal creams may cause skin irritation or allergic reactions, so always skin test before use. And carefully clean your skin after use. After treating pubic hair, watch your skin for any discomfort or allergic reaction. If symptoms such as redness, swelling, pain, or itching occur, discontinue use immediately and consult a physician.
Laser hair removal
You can't do laser hair removal at home by yourself, you need specialized equipment and a licensed professional to do it for you. Laser hair removal works by stopping or slowing down the growth of pubic hair by using a laser to destroy the hair in the follicle. The professional will choose the type of laser based on the color of your hair, which is the most expensive type of hair removal. There will be a more intense burning sensation during this time, but they will use a specific gel cream to alleviate the pain. And it is normal that you may experience swelling or redness for a few days after hair removal.
Hair Removal Methods We Don't Recommend
Waxing
In this method, hot wax is applied to the pubic hairs to uproot them similar to deflowering a chicken. The advantage of this method is that it is very efficient but there are serious health threats and the process is very painful. The key is that it creates many small cuts in the plucking process that are difficult to see with the naked eye, risking burns and wound infections. In most cases alone using this method of hair removal, your hygiene is difficult to meet.
Tweezers
Plucking with tweezers works on the same principle as waxing, which involves uprooting pubic hair in a very painful process. Not only is it time-consuming and laborious, but it is also dangerous to the skin. This only applies to a handful of hairs that have escaped.
Wrap up
Overall, the benefits of pubic hair outweigh the disadvantages, and we don't recommend removing pubic hair if you don't have a specific reason to do so. If you want to remove pubic hair for sport, aesthetic or personal reasons, that's fine, it's up to you. However, when removing hair, take care to choose the safe hair removal methods we recommend to avoid harm.
