Just lately I have been receiving a lot of adverts for pubic hair removal creme on social media.
It’s almost as if they can read my mind, as I don’t think you could invent a more awkward shape (or more sensitive place) to shave than male genitals, and I really need a better way of doing it than struggling on with an electric trimmer/shaver.
So I would like to hear other people’s experience of hair removal creme, or any other advice they may have.
But my quick input: many electric (safe) shavers to use, I personally recommend the Braun body groom. I don’t believe the hype of the ‘lawn mower’ advertising being pushed everywhere
I’ve done veet before… works fine but make sure you use sensitive areas stuff and be careful of timings (10 mins max for me)
Lately me and Mrs have moved onto home IPL (use the braun brand again) and I only have paise for it sofar!
I used the hair removal cream and it’s brilliant.
Can’t face shaving / trimming again after clipping there before and it hurt so much, and kept bleeding, as I always knocked it.
10 mins of the cream is enough to take it all off, just use a plain soap in the shower as it does sting if not plain.
Creams can burn like Hell, so be careful, now I just use a razor and a good shaving gel ever 2 or 3 days while in the shower, takes minutes and as I am doing it regular … no bad itching
I happily trim mine with an electric trimmer on the 6mm attachment so it’s not fully smooth that it causes irritation but short enough to feel fresh
Then My balls I shave in the shower.
I’ve known a few guys to use veet cream which they like for there areas but I personally wouldn’t attempt it as I’m prone to ingrown hairs and many guys when they go fully smooth get rashes and spots.
I have mine waxed, it lasts OK with return visits every 6 weeks. I have tried creams that were hit and miss on what hairs they would target. I have also shaved and also plucking however the waxing is the simplest hassle free way.
If your worried about discomfort then personally I dont find it hurts, this may be down to the professionalism of the waxer though.
I tried creams - major burning!! Like others, i use a 5 bladed razor every few days, keeps me beach ready!
Use Nair on my legs and chest though, works a treat once a week.
Im interested in the ipl thing too, do you all use it on intimate areas?
I have to say that some of these replies to my post sound horrific.
I was really hoping the creme would solve it, but I will give that a miss. As for razors with blades: that is an accident waiting to happen, and even if it is a small one, it’s enough for me to give it a miss. And I just can’t get my head around waxing if it includes balls.
In the end, I am just too impatient and squeamish, so I will have to persevere with the electric trimmer/shaver, but it’s such a palaver.
My husband trims his bush down to shaveable length then I shave him smooth. He keeps me smooth as well from spring to autumn. We usually shave every few days to scrape the stubble and we alway apply a moisturiser afterwards.
I use a hair trimmer to do the main bulk & do my balls and shaft with a wet shave. I prefer a slight stubble on my pubic area and clean shaven main appliance
I use a good shaving gel with venus blades but only use them once I suppose its all depending how thick the hair is and re growth I am very hairy that’s why i use the razor once
I use IPL on full brozillian. - pubes, shaft, balls and butt.
its a slow and steady home treatment, but im 4+ months in and now on the once a month lasering, im pretty much hairless on the pubes butt and shaft, just the balls taking longer due to darker skin. IMO its the best thing ive ever done for hair removal
It started a few years ago. I’d be watching tele at home (alone - daytime, different work schedules). The initial goal was to remove hairs around the base of my shaft, to show off more length.
The next day I’d yank out more … and more … and kept going until I finally had basically nothing but short regrowth.
Today all I have to do is pluck out regrown hairs around my shaft every few days, and grab any hairs that have got a little long. The whole shaft is bare, everything else very lightly covered with hairs no more than about 2cm long.
I’ve found showering well first, including an exfoliating scrub/shower-puff has really helped avoid ingrown hairs etc. I barely have any issues.
Purely in the interests of research I tried one of these crystal hair erasers this morning.
Fortunately I tried it on my arm first. It did remove the hair eventually but it’s also removed patches if skin and left most of my arm red and blotchy. There will definitely be scabs. I did the other arm with the razor.
My husband didn’t even trim or shave when we got together over 20 years ago and he had a lot of pubic hair. He did start to trim and then shave and at some point a long time ago shaved it all off which he really preferred and maintained. He started to get it waxed for a while but then decided to get it lasered about 2-3 years ago. He did about 8 treatments and has been completely smooth since then.
I am so jealous I really want all my pubic hair gone forever!! do you get smooth skin or does it still have the slight chicken skin texture after you have had it all lasered off??
