It’s kept in containers like wax is and heated by the esthetician’s hand. Nothing gets in the container.
I find it pretty painless but I have a really high pain tolerance. I tried a Brazilian wax once and almost jumped off the table. Some people say it’s the opposite for them.
I guess if you call your clit an almond 
When I had my balls waxed a while back they used the sugar wax stuff, was like sugared walnuts rather than almonds!! I have nothing to compare it to, I think my waxing rather than shaving days are over…
I love OH shaven but lately she has decided she doesn’t want to be totally bare and started growing the hair above her pussy but still shaven around it and hard as it is makes it look even sexier
My wife had a full bush when we got together but started shaving and found she liked it much better with it all shaved off underneath. With just a bit of trimming at the sides, she had a large neat square patch on top and smooth underneath which was her style for quite a few years and now this has become more of a wide landing strip.
As we are fortunate to live close to the beach she wears a bikini much more than back in the UK and it seems completely bare is what most do. She’s had a lot of it lasered now so it’s very smooth, but still has her landing strip on top.
Smooth is best when it comes to having your OH sitting on your face grinding away, love watching her cum drip down her smooth pussy 
Au natural along with hairy pits.
My wifes vulva is uncharacteristically unshaved at the moment and as we are heading off on holiday, I will be required to do the needful.
May visit a nudist beach , so that will make it all the more necessary.
I don’t have a one off preference, bald, trimmed, landing strip, little triangle as long as its not a full bush and the anus is hair free.
@paulsballs…Noooo !!! cant be doing with a hairy bottom..
I try to keep it short and neat as I feel self conscious when it’s wild. I shave, but the absolute worst is when the hairs start growing back 
I’ve never tried hair removal cream down there but if it prevents the cactus effect I’ll try it 
I have to say I probably prefer a very neat trim on my wife’s pussy. She has never shaved it, and I have never experienced a bare one, so I can not compare. I often remind her to tidy things up, because she forgets to do it often. And when she is trimmed I greatly love the look and feel of it, no wet bush to work through. And I suppose, for each individual, the texture and quantity of the bush can make a difference. Some pubes are soft and curly, others are more thick and dense. My own habit is to shave just the shaft of my cock down to my scrotum, not below. I find even the few hairs that grow along the shaft create some friction. And when it is shaved, it feels more smooth and glides better, even when doing self pleasure.
@Latestr8 it’s good to know there’s someone else out there with a hairy shaft, mine’s hairy right to the end. I use hair remover on my shaft. After removal my cock is a lot more sensitive and I find I enjoy masturbating more.
I am not really that hairy. I get some growth for about the first 1-2 inches up from the base, and have just a few random hairs, maybe a dozen, up the shaft, which are of a finer texture. So I shave it all down to the base to keep it smooth.
Sorry I seem to have steered this conversation from hairy/shaved vulvas to hairy/shaved cocks!
Just as an aside I’ve found one potentially funny disadvantage of epilating the anal area is that my farts now sound as if I’m talking to Donald Duck.
My OH is neatly shaven and I’m completely shaven I want to shave my chest but she like my chest hair she has been talking of getting her pussy lasered
I like them hairy
I love my pubic hair its very thick and blonde, would never consider shaving or trimming it
Both ways!!! And everything in between
Definitely shaved for me
