We remove hair with a razor in the most sensitive area

Today you won’t surprise anyone with the words “epilation” or “depilation”. Girls are used to taking care of themselves, including their bikini area. But sometimes irritation and redness of the skin appear. We will talk about how to avoid this.

Methods for removing hair in the bikini area

Today there are a lot of hair removal methods. Even the procedure itself can be divided into several options - depilation and epilation. Depilation is hair removal, which in addition to the hair length itself also removes the subcutaneous part of the hair. Thus, hair stops growing in that treated area. Epilation is hair removal that does not affect the hair follicles, leaving them deep in the skin. This type is less durable. Therefore, most girls get tired of constantly taking care of their bikini area after a few years, and they prefer to get rid of hair forever through depilation.

Depilation is carried out only in salons, since it is impossible to completely get rid of the subcutaneous part of the hair at home. But there are now so many products for hair removal in stores that it can be safely done at home.

Shaving- the oldest method. But the cheapest and most understandable. In addition, there are no contraindications for pregnant women. The biggest disadvantage of this effect on the hair is irritation from improper shaving. And when removing hair in the deep bikini area, it is very difficult to use a razor. It is better to abandon such an idea.

Lotions and creams- a relatively simple method. It’s very easy to choose the right product for your wallet. Many creams are designed for sensitive skin. Also, some of them contain components that somewhat slow down hair growth. It is best to do an allergy test before use.

Waxing- this is what wax hair removal is called in salons. Some suggest that Cleopatra herself used this method. The main disadvantage of this procedure is pain. It will be very difficult for girls with a high pain threshold to endure the whole “torture”. But wax guarantees the cleanest epilation than any other product.

Electrolysis– the procedure is carried out only in salons. It is even more painful than waxing hair removal. But you can get rid of hair once and for all. In addition, there are no restrictions due to skin or hair color. It is worth noting that the cost of this procedure is quite high.

You can choose any hair removal method for yourself

Photoepilation– will remove your unwanted hair in several procedures. But remember that you will have to shell out a round sum. To completely remove hair, you will need about 10 procedures, and the break between each of them will be about two months. If you need to get rid of hair right now, then you should look for a faster option.

Laser hair removal– a virtually painless procedure, and its duration is only 5-10 minutes. It is worth taking this decision seriously. After all, laser exposure refers to hardware cosmetology, and such “pleasure” is not cheap.

Popular hair removal products for the bikini area

Razors. If you have the means, it is best to choose a special machine for hair removal in the bikini area. The best of them are Venus. If the high price is not for you, then take a regular men's machine. Inexpensive and high-quality Gillette will do just fine. Why male, you ask? The fact is that razors on women's razors are not sharpened as sharply as on men's razors. And if you use a sharp razor together with some product, then there will definitely be no irritation.

Depilatory creams. Here you should choose a product depending on your skin type. If it is dry, then choose products for sensitive skin. So, most often girls buy depilators from the following manufacturers - Veet, Eveline and Opilca. I would also like to recommend the cheap but high-quality Velvet cream. Its cost ranges from 50-80 rubles. You can choose a regular cream for sensitive skin, or one that slows down hair growth.

Wax strips. Probably every girl has heard about Veet wax strips. This is the highest quality company in the hair removal industry.

Preparing for hair removal without irritation

The skin must first be steamed. To do this, take a hot bath or shower. This will make the procedure much easier and painless.

It is worth preparing for hair removal in advance

Prepare in advance the product you plan to use to remove hair. If you want to use a razor, then use regular hair balm as an assistant. Our mothers and grandmothers also used this secret. No special shaving cream or foam will help as much as hair balm. It will soften the hair a little and the razor will go smoothly. And you, after the procedure, will not receive any hint of irritation.

If your hair is long, then first you should shorten it using regular scissors. This will make shaving or waxing with cream much faster.

How to shave your bikini area without irritation

So, the purchase and preparation for the procedure are over. Now is the time to act.

If you choose a shaving method, remember a few important tips:

Never razor against hair growth. In this case, you will get irritation and redness. Also, rinse the blade from time to time to remove stuck hairs. Hold the skin lightly with your finger, but do not stretch it to avoid cutting yourself. Only as a last resort, when very short hairs remain on the skin, can you run the razor against the hair growth, but very carefully!

It's a little easier with creams and lotions. Usually, the package comes with special scrapers or spatulas, which are then used to remove softened hair. Apply the product with your finger along the hairline. Don't skimp on the cream. Distribute it evenly. As a rule, the cream lasts 10-15 minutes. So be patient and wait. After this time, pick up a scraper and, again, carefully run it along the hairline, removing any remaining cream. Most of these products can be used to remove hair from a deep bikini. So, to make your skin perfectly smooth, you can take a mirror and help yourself with it.

When using wax strips, you should initially have patience and endurance. First, take out one strip and rub it well in your palms. Next, divide the strip into two parts and place it in the desired place. Smooth out until no air remains. Now brace yourself and quickly rip off the glued strip. The wax on the strips may stick several more times. So don't waste all the money at once.

Skin care after hair removal

After the procedure, you need to take a little care of your skin. Take a warm, but not hot, shower. Then apply a special aftershave for the intimate area. Even if you are sure that this time there will be no skin irritation, still do not neglect the advice. The fact is that such creams really soothe the skin.

It is also worth remembering that creams with menthol, mint or lemon balm are not suitable for skin care in the intimate area.

Do not put on panties immediately after the procedure. Give at least ten minutes to rest. This way, the skin will receive the oxygen it needs, and irritation will not even appear.

Traditional medicine for skin irritation in the bikini area

If you somehow miraculously managed to get irritated, then don’t panic. Simple and effective recipes from traditional medicine will come to your aid. Each of them is effective and efficient in its own way. Many of these tricks were also used by our mothers and grandmothers.

Also, instead of special creams after shaving, some girls use simple baby creams. They will come in very handy in case of irritation.

On the first day after shaving, you need to pay attention to your underwear. It is best to choose panties made from natural material. Also on this day you should not experiment with the style. Sensitive skin can react very strongly to contact with synthetics.

Among medicines there is also one miracle. Panthenol will very quickly relieve you of irritation and discomfort in the bikini area.

If small pimples appear at the site of hair removal, you can get rid of them using a simple chlorhexidine solution. Soak a cotton pad in the solution and apply it to the problem area of the skin. The advantage of this drug is that it is completely odorless.

And if the irritation with pimples is severe enough, an ancient remedy - tea tree oil - will help.

If severe irritation overtakes you after shaving, then it is best to abandon this method of hair removal. Next time try depilatory creams. And remember that it is best to use depilatories with a special inscription “for sensitive skin” for the first use.

As you can see, there are a lot of hair removal products without irritation. You just need to choose the one that will perfectly match your skin type. Don't be afraid to try and find something new. And our advice will always help you get rid of irritation if something goes wrong.

Currently, it is customary to get rid of unwanted vegetation not only in the armpits and legs, but also in the intimate area. Smooth skin looks more aesthetically pleasing than thick hair, which also often causes discomfort. Many girls, even after trying modern methods of depilation in the form of sugaring and waxing, return to standard shaving. This is a proven, painless way to remove hair from any area of the body, including the bikini area. To avoid the irritation that is often associated with shaving delicate areas, it is important to know and follow the rules for performing the procedure and subsequent care of the treated skin.

If everything is clear with depilation of the armpits (nowadays it is impossible to imagine a girl with thick hair in her armpits), then with the bikini area the situation is not so clear. Is it worth giving in to fashion trends and completely shaving off the hair in intimate places, or does it make sense to leave the hair on delicate areas?

Proponents of natural beauty claim that hair is provided by nature and is intended to protect organs from the penetration of dangerous infections. Others say that these same bacteria and viruses, lingering in the hair, create a favorable environment for the proliferation of pathogenic microorganisms and the development of diseases. Therefore, shaving intimate areas is a necessary hygienic measure for a woman.

As usual, the truth must be found somewhere in the middle. Deep depilation, affecting all areas of the bikini, is not always justified: the procedure is not only difficult to perform, but also leaves the intimate surface truly without natural protection against bacteria and viruses. But removing hair completely in the pubic area or exclusively along the panty line, so that the hairs do not protrude from under the underwear, is an understandable aesthetic measure that does not interfere with the proper functioning of the intimate organs.

Some girls do not completely shave off the pubic hair, leaving a thin strip of short hairs. This type of bikini depilation is called French. In addition to the strip, you can perform any other intimate haircut.

Which machine is suitable for depilation of intimate areas?

Before you begin the procedure of shaving hairs in intimate places, it is important to choose the right tool for this type of depilation - a machine. It largely depends on this whether the procedure will be as safe as possible: without cuts, as well as subsequent irritation and inflammation. It is important that only you use the purchased machine (for hygienic reasons).

To remove hair in the delicate bikini area, do not use disposable machines that have a stationary head. The blades used in such tools are not of high quality. To perform the procedure efficiently, take a special razor designed for women and with a floating head. This will ensure easy shaving of hairs on the uneven terrain of the intimate area. And the protective strip on reusable machines will make the session more comfortable and safe.

Use razors with at least 3-4 blades. With the help of such machines, you can quickly remove hairs without the need to repeatedly pass the tool over the same area, which often causes irritation on delicate skin.

Currently, there are a large number of razors available, which vary in cost and ergonomics. Below, in ascending order of price, are the most popular and well-proven women's machines, including those used for depilation of the intimate area.

Table: women's razors

Name	Description	price, rub.
	The rubber handle and flexible head make it convenient to use the tool even when depilating deep areas, and the presence of 5 blades improves the quality of the procedure. Can be used for any skin type.	300
	The ceramic coating of the triple blade and the ergonomic handle ensure the most comfortable procedure. The machine is equipped with sliding strips impregnated with vitamin E and aloe vera.	350
	A special system with four blades with a unique three-layer coating and a protective grille that prevents the formation of cuts. At the top of the machine there is a sliding strip with a moisturizing complex, and at the bottom there is a rubber insert for soft shaving of hairs. Additionally, the machine is equipped with a trimmer that has 4 height levels and allows you to model hairs.	500
	A reusable razor equipped with a comfortable rubber handle and a flexible head with three blades. Thanks to the presence of gel pads built into the machine, when using the razor you will not need additional cosmetics: you just need to moisten it with water.	750

Make sure that the blades are sharp: it is recommended to change them after 6-7 times of use.

In addition, for a comfortable shave, it is important to purchase a high-quality gel, rather than using regular soap, which does not protect the skin from cuts and irritation. A special product will make the hairs softer and more pliable, ensuring that the blades glide easily over the surface.

A proven product is Satin Care gel, which is ideal for depilation of delicate areas. It simultaneously softens, moisturizes and cools the skin, nourishing it with healthy vitamins and oils. This is a very affordable product - the price of one package starts from 200 rubles.

How to shave your bikini area without unwanted consequences

To shave intimate areas without the risk of irritation and inflammation, it is important not only to choose the appropriate machine and gel for soft gliding of the blades. No less important is the technique used: running the razor over the skin in any direction will make the procedure unsafe and reduce the quality of the result. There is a proven technique for properly shaving hairs that must be followed.

However, first you need to prepare the intimate surface for the upcoming procedure, which requires the following steps:

The day before the planned procedure, scrub the skin in the bikini area - this will help remove the stratum corneum so that the hairs are shaved as close to the roots as possible.
If the hairs in the bikini area are too long, then trim them with scissors with rounded ends to 5–7 mm.
To steam the skin, take a warm shower (10–15 minutes is enough) or use warm compresses soaked in an herbal solution. As a result of the procedure, coarse hairs will soften and will be easier to remove with a razor.

The procedure will take place without cuts, redness and irritation, as well as the risk of ingrown hairs in the future, if you follow the shaving technique:

Wet the bikini area with warm water and apply a gel designed for treating the skin during shaving.
Lather the composition and wait until the composition is absorbed into the skin and softens the hairs - 5 minutes is enough.
Place the razor under running water or dip it in a container of warm water to improve glide.
With one hand, slightly stretch the skin, and with the other, move the machine. Perform movements sequentially: first along the hair growth line to avoid ingrown hairs, and then in the opposite direction for maximum smooth skin.
Rinse the blades from time to time to prevent hair from collecting between them.
As needed, add the required amount of gel to cover the entire bikini area.

Shaving movements should be as smooth and soft as possible. Avoid applying excessive pressure or running the razor over the same area multiple times to avoid cuts. If you do get injured, immediately treat the damaged area with Chlorhexidine or hydrogen peroxide.

Once you have completed the procedure, take care of proper care of the treated surface. This will minimize the risk of irritation and redness. First of all, do the following:

Rinse the intimate surface with warm water and gently pat the areas dry with a towel.
Treat the skin with an antibacterial agent - Chlorhexidine, Miramistin or hydrogen peroxide are suitable.
Apply a soothing moisturizer to smooth skin.

Do not rush to get dressed immediately after the procedure - allow your skin to rest for 10 minutes.
Do not rub or massage the treated areas for 2 days after depilation, and also avoid using alcohol-containing lotions to treat the surface before and after the procedure.
After 2 days, deep cleanse your bikini skin with peeling. In the future, exfoliate at intervals of 2 days to prevent the risk of ingrown hairs.
Over the next 3 days after the procedure, avoid wearing underwear made of synthetic materials and tight to the body.
Do not start shaving if there are pimples and other inflammatory manifestations, as well as skin lesions in your intimate areas.

Choose the evening time to perform depilation so that the skin can fully recover during the night.

In addition, you should not subject your delicate skin to daily depilation. Allow the surface to recover after shaving for 2-3 days. It is better to start the next procedure when the hairs have grown a little, otherwise the skin will react with the appearance of red spots, irritation and itching.

How to deal with irritation in the intimate area after shaving

If irritation occurs, it is important to immediately treat the skin with special products, otherwise there is a high probability of developing an inflammatory process. The worsening of the situation is indicated by the appearance of small pimples, increased sensitivity of the surface and the occurrence of itching. In this case, you should postpone the next hair shaving procedure and begin proper treatment.

Cosmetic and pharmaceutical compositions

If there is slight redness, you should lubricate the treated areas daily with the following cosmetics:

Floresan cream. Not only promotes skin regeneration, but also slows down the appearance of new hairs with regular use.
Klorane cream. It has a pronounced moisturizing effect on the delicate surface, reducing irritation and itching.
Cream-gel Velvet. Quickly eliminates irritation in very sensitive areas, disinfecting the skin.
Gel GreenMama. Thanks to the inclusion of arnica and aloe in the form of extracts, it reduces the intensity of discomfort after shaving and accelerates skin healing.

Creams, ointments or gels should be used until the surface of the bikini is completely healed.

In case of increased irritation and the appearance of severe pimples, it is necessary to use antiseptic pharmaceutical preparations, since ordinary cosmetics are no longer sufficient. The most popular are:

Salicylic ointment. Helps soften the dense layer of skin, preventing increased inflammation and ingrown hairs. The ointment must be used with caution, as allergic manifestations may occur in the form of itching or a slight burning sensation. Used daily to treat damaged areas.
Zinc ointment. An inexpensive pharmaceutical product that dries out inflamed areas. Helps quickly relieve burning and reduce itching. Distribute over problem skin several times a day (no more than 3 times).
Cream Bepanten. Helps reduce inflammation by disinfecting and softening the surface. Apply in the morning and evening daily in an even layer.
Cream Vagisil. It is a product with herbal ingredients that is designed to moisturize the skin after each depilation procedure.
Cream Boro Plus. Suitable for use on sensitive areas: it has a pronounced healing effect due to the content of natural ingredients. It is best to use it in the evening and leave it on the surface overnight, since the cream has a greasy texture.
Gel Traumeel S. Used for severe inflammation, as well as in the presence of edema. Apply to irritated areas about 3 times a day.

Remember that before applying cosmetics or pharmaceutical products, you must cleanse your skin.

Traditional methods

As a complement to ready-made products that can be purchased at pharmacies or cosmetic stores, try applying herbal compresses. They will help you quickly cope with inflammation, red spots and itching.

To prepare a herbal compress, use a popular recipe:

Place the dried herbs of sage, chamomile, mint and celandine in a small container (it is enough to prepare 1 teaspoon of each ingredient).
Pour 1 cup of water over the herbal mixture and place on low heat.
Cook for about 6-8 minutes.
Cool and filter the prepared broth.
To treat irritated areas, take a soft towel that needs to be moistened with liquid.
After 15 minutes, simply pat your skin dry using a dry towel.
Conduct sessions for at least 5 days in a row.

To treat inflamed areas, you can prepare a regular chamomile decoction by pouring 2 tablespoons of dried flowers with 1 cup of boiling water.

Parsley infusion, prepared according to the following recipe, has a strong antibacterial effect:

First chop a small amount of parsley so that you get 1 tablespoon of chopped leaves.
Pour a small amount of boiling water over the prepared parsley (1 cup is enough) and wait 25–30 minutes.
Strain the resulting infusion.
Dip a napkin into the liquid, which must then be applied to the inflamed area.
Leave the compress on for 10–15 minutes.
For best results, carry out the procedure at least 2 times a day.

Aloe, which can be found in almost any home, is also used for healing and antiseptic treatment of intimate surfaces. If this healing plant does not grow on your windowsill, then you can purchase aloe juice at the pharmacy and treat problem areas with it daily. The leaf must be cut in half and applied to the skin with the fleshy part for 10–15 minutes.

If you notice that your skin is very dry after shaving, you can prepare a moisturizing composition with sour cream:

Prepare a mixture of 1 teaspoon of thick sour cream and 0.5 teaspoon of olive oil.
After thoroughly mixing the resulting composition, spread it in an even layer over the skin in the intimate area.
Wait about 10 minutes.
Use a dry cloth to remove any remaining mixture.

Among essential oils, tea tree essential oil is best suited for relieving inflammation. Just don’t use it separately - before applying, be sure to mix the essential composition in the amount of 2 drops with a tablespoon of base oil (olive, almond or other). Wipe irritated areas with the resulting mixture every day.

Use folk remedies regularly until the surface is completely restored. The time it takes for tender areas to heal depends on many factors: shaving technique, proper care and individual characteristics. The slight redness goes away quite quickly - within about a day. If unpleasant symptoms persist or worsen over a longer period of time, consult a professional (preferably a dermatologist).

As you know, every woman always tries to look beautiful. Every part of the body must be ideal and meet modern standards of beauty. Therefore, it is important to pay attention not only to open areas of the body, which are always in sight, but also to intimate parts for beauty, cleanliness, and hygiene.

Why should a man shave his groin?

Many men have a stereotype that a shaved groin is the prerogative of gay boys. It is not true! Masculinity and personal hygiene are completely different things.

There are many reasons for getting rid of vegetation in intimate places:

Hygiene. The genitals are an excellent microflora for the development of bacteria, which is why you need to shower and wash thoroughly every day. Sweat, dirt, and dead epidermal cells collect on the hair, which provoke the growth of bacteria. The result is and may cause itching or a rash. Especially in the summer, when it is already hot, the eggs sweat a lot due to the hair covering. You can read more about why else here.

Appearance. Manhood looks much more beautiful when there is no hair. And even the penis looks bigger. If the visual size is still not satisfactory, you can use.

Hair removal methods

To get rid of excess vegetation in intimate areas, there are several ways:

Cutting hair with a trimmer. You can shave with a trimmer to make the hair shorter and complete the procedure. And the second option is to shorten the hair in order to continue removing it using other tools. To properly shave your hair with a trimmer, you need to make short, smooth movements towards the base of the penis.

In this area, it is better to stretch the skin with your free hand, this way it will be safer.
Chemicals to make shaving easier. The following hair removal can be done in several ways: with a machine or cream. Depilatory creams are sold in all cosmetic stores, but they have a fairly chemical composition.

If you decide to use such a cream, then you should know that it is applied with a special spatula (it is sold along with the product) for 10-15 minutes. Then use the same spatula to remove the cream from the hair and rinse thoroughly with warm water without using soap or gel. Then the skin is gently blotted with a soft towel and a softening cream is applied. Some depilatory products include cream included. The disadvantage of this method is that the hairs grow quickly, but at the same time they are thin and do not prick. And the advantage is painlessness and lack of irritation.

Step-by-step instruction

For the safety of shaving with a machine, we offer you step-by-step instructions so that everything is “smooth”:

Take the correct position. To make shaving as comfortable as possible, you need to take a comfortable position. Here everyone has their own. It is better for some to shave while sitting in the bathroom, for others - standing, for others - lying down. You need to experiment to find out which position is best for you to do this. Many men claim that standing is more comfortable, since you can turn around and put your leg back if necessary, and it is convenient to hold your testicles when shaving your scrotum. A comfortable position will protect you from cuts.
Application of foam. When you have taken the position in which you will shave, you need to apply shaving foam or gel to the groin area to make the hair softer. It is advisable to choose a product that is best suited for your skin type, so that there is no burning or pain later. Leave the foam or gel for a minute to act. Then you can move on to the procedure itself.
Shaving the groin. Now let's get down to the process itself. It is important that the machine is very sharp, preferably new. When choosing a razor for shaving hair in the groin area, it is better not to skimp, but to purchase an expensive, high-quality item. This will greatly reduce the risk of cuts and poor shaving. You can start with the pubis or scrotum - whichever is more convenient for you. The main thing is not to be afraid if you are doing this for the first time. There is nothing terrible, if you follow the instructions, then damage is excluded.
Above the penis. First, you need to thoroughly treat the pubic area with the machine, using smooth movements from bottom to top. The machine should not be pressed down too hard, this way you will avoid cuts. It is best to shave against the direction of hair growth. Then the effect is smoother and lasts a little longer. The penis needs to be pulled down a little to tighten the skin. Then the machine will slide smoothly, removing unwanted hair. Don't forget that hair also grows on the penis, at the root. Pull the skin of the penis towards the head and shave the hair using upward movements. If “interesting sensations” arise in the process, that’s even better. An erect penis is easier to shave.
On the sides. To thoroughly shave off unwanted hair on the sides, you need to move the penis in the opposite direction. Then hold it with your free hand and shave off the hair. Place the leg from which you are shaving slightly to the side to allow the skin to stretch. This will make it more convenient for you. It is most comfortable to shave the side area while standing. Remember to constantly rinse the razor and remove hair from it so that it does not clog and shave well. The same must be repeated on the second side. Shave against the direction of hair growth, this will be more effective and the results will last a little longer.
Scrotum. The area between the scrotum and penis, as well as the scrotum, must be shaved very carefully because the skin there is delicate. Do not use the machine to cover too large an area. By shaving in small increments, you will achieve a smoother result. First, you need to lift your penis up and shave towards the bottom of the scrotum. Do not forget to rinse the machine after each movement, because it quickly becomes clogged with hair. In this way, a little at a time, stretching the skin, you need to completely shave the scrotum and the area around it.
The washing up. Upon completion of the procedure, you need to wash the shaved area well under running warm water. Too hot water can cause irritation. It is not recommended to use chemical products immediately after shaving. The thing is that the blade slightly “ruffles” the upper layer of the epidermis. Soaps and gels contain fragrances and dyes, which, if they get on damaged areas, can cause a burning sensation or an allergic reaction.
Dry yourself. Dry thoroughly with a soft towel. You should not rub, because after the blade the upper layer of the epidermis is slightly damaged and additional irritation can cause discomfort and redness.
Reduce skin irritation. To reduce skin irritation, use an antibacterial gel or aftershave lotion. Such products usually have a cooling effect and prevent redness and irritation. After a few days, when the stubble begins to grow back, itching may occur. This is due to the fact that after the razor blade, the hairs have a pointed end. To relieve the burning and itching a little, you can use emollient oil or milk. It should be applied daily after shower. Your hair will become much softer and you will not experience any discomfort.

Tips for removing hair in the groin area:

In conclusion, I would like to note that shaving in the groin area for men is a personal matter for everyone. The article describes the advantages of shaving and its disadvantages (itching, irritation). Why else can be read here.

If you follow all the rules, you can achieve smooth skin without irritation. A shaved groin sweats less and does not provoke the growth of bacteria, which cause unpleasant odors. As for irritation, there are now many cosmetic products that will help avoid it. If you have never shaved your groin, try it, you will like it and your partner will be delighted.

We don't want to get any more itching and redness. We wish you to cope with the problem of shaving the most sensitive and demanding area painlessly and get the desired result - velvety skin without irritation. Therefore, girls, let’s delve into the tips and secrets about shaving, do everything quickly and simply and enjoy an excellent result.

Everything you need for the procedure

Should I shave my bikini area? Firstly, the taste and color, as they say. Some people like the design or haircut, while others want a perfectly cleaned surface in the intimate area. In any case, your intervention is necessary to make everything look aesthetically pleasing.

Many people prefer shaving. But when you remember what an incorrect shaving procedure entails and what the need to repeat it often means, the desire somehow disappears by itself. And for some, going to a master causes psychological discomfort. In short, let's focus on the shaving process, which you can do at home with your own hands and get an excellent result.

First you need to select accessories for the shaving procedure. You need a razor, shaving product, aftershave.

As for the razor: a disposable, inexpensive shaving device with two blades will not suit you for this purpose. Even a women's machine with a moisturizing strip and 4 blades will not work, since it is intended primarily for removing hair on the legs and armpits. In addition, all the assurances from marketers that with a machine with 3-4 blades you will get less irritation are not entirely true. In fact, with one movement, the surface receives 3-4 (depending on the number of blades) contacts with the blade, they just happen without interruption.

What to do? Buy a men's machine. You heard right. The fact is that the blades in it are harder, sharper, and the moisturizing substance is much more effective. And most importantly, it is designed for shaving in hard-to-reach places: the curves of the neck, cheeks, and around the lips. Plus, the handle of such a machine is ergonomic, the blades themselves will last much longer. So why shouldn’t it serve for the benefit of the beauty of another hard-to-reach area? It should be noted that the first time you may not be able to select a razor with optimal rigidity. Girls, we advise you to steal (just not from the store) a man’s machine and try it quietly. Men, if you see this, it’s your imagination.

Now about shaving products. We recommend paying attention to gels rather than foams. Or creams. Foam does not fill the space near the follicles well enough and does not soften the hair along its entire length, since its structure is very porous (like a porous chocolate bar). It’s better to use a gel, but you shouldn’t choose a product for sensitive skin, as its effect is too delicate (it won’t soften it enough). If the area is very delicate, it is better to use an aftershave with a significant soothing effect.

Men's shaving experts say it's best to use regular soap lather. But in our case, pay attention to shaving creams. There are ordinary creams that need to be applied to improve the glide of the razor. And there are depilatory creams that you simply need to apply to the problem area and after a certain period of time remove along with the hairs. At the same time, the follicles also remain healthy and strong, and vegetation soon begins to emerge from them, just like after a razor.

After shaving, apply a special soothing lotion if you do not want to get small itchy red dots all over the treated surface. You can make a bath of calendula or chamomile, and then apply a small amount of baby cream (which is applied under the diaper). This cream contains soothing and healing ingredients, and the smell is pleasant and light.

Shaving procedure

Without proper preparation, there is no high-quality and painless depilation. Let's take this for granted and get acquainted with some aspects of such preparation:

Before shaving your bikini area properly, remove any excess hair. You can use manicure scissors or just small, comfortable, sharp scissors. The optimal length left is 5 millimeters. Just be careful.
Place the razor in hot or warm water for a few minutes. The blades will become pliable and soft, this will help avoid cuts.
After this, moisten the problem area with warm water. It’s better, of course, to take a shower or even a bath so that the dermis softens. But sometimes there is no time for this. So you can simply wet the area, or better yet, apply a thick towel soaked in warm water for a few minutes.

If you decide to take a bath, you should not lie in it for a long time - after 15 minutes the skin will begin to swell slightly, which will complicate the process.

If you have them, you can use a fine body scrub to remove them and subsequently cut them off along with the rest.
Afterwards, apply shaving product liberally (we agreed that it would be a cream).
Wait at least 3 minutes, even if such a recommendation is not indicated in the instructions.
Grab your razor and start the process. We move in the direction of growth, otherwise irritation, itching, and even cuts will appear. In addition, the risk of ingrowth will increase.

But here you should experiment. If both the cream and the razor suit you, you can shave against the grain, and in general, in any convenient direction. This will make the surface smoother.

Watch for irritation. You can only lightly touch the razor, glide gently, do not press.

To make things easier, stretch the skin before going over the razor. This will give you a cleaner result and reduce the risk of cutting yourself.
If you do cut yourself, treat the wound with a disinfectant before applying lotion to the area.
Rinse off any remaining cream with cool water, pat dry with a soft towel or paper towel, and apply lotion. Wait a few minutes for its active ingredients to take effect. Remains can be removed with a paper napkin.

If you choose a depilatory cream (which removes hair itself), then everything should be indicated in the instructions. But you still have to clean and steam, and finally apply a balm. In this case you get benefits:

there is no risk of cutting yourself - the spatula fits snugly, but is not sharp at all;
This shave is cleaner. The main thing is to apply the cream in a thick layer and go over the entire area with a spatula;
the cream is enriched with vitamins and nutritional components.

Develop the habit of doing everything in the correct sequence. Over time, the entire shaving process will take you no more than 10 minutes, and will not be associated with something terribly painful and terribly unpleasant.

Troubleshooting, alternative solution

Usually, everyone makes the same mistakes when shaving. For example:

we move against growth on an unprepared surface. Because of this, micro-cuts, itching and severe irritation most often occur;
we don’t want to waste time applying the balm;
we don’t want to spend money on a high-quality shaving machine with optimal sharpness blades, an oval moving head, and a moisturizing strip;
If we use a simple disposable machine, we forget to change it during the process. A dull blade is the best friend of pimples and cuts. In addition, it injures the epidermis and promotes ingrowth. If we take into account that manipulations with a razor need to be carried out quite often, and sometimes, under particularly favorable circumstances, every other day, then we end up with a coarsened, wounded, rough dermis.

If you have tried this and that, and are still unhappy with the result, try other, alternative methods of depilation. Or even hair removal.

We recommend starting with the simplest and most inexpensive home method of getting rid of unwanted vegetation - sugaring. Our website describes the sugaring process in great detail, but let us remind you just in case.

To make a sugaring paste: mix 10 tablespoons of sugar with a tablespoon of lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of water. Then put on low heat and stir for 3-5 minutes. We do not change the heat, as soon as the sugaring liquid has become caramel-golden, remove it and let it cool.

We prepare ourselves to get rid of vegetation using sugaring: clean, trim, dry with a paper towel. We take the sticky sweet cake and apply it by spreading it onto the hairs in the opposite direction of their growth. Immediately we sharply cut off the growth. Or we simplify the task: first apply sugaring paste on (for 150 rubles you can buy 200 pieces), glue it and tear it off, as with waxing.

Advantages of sugaring: hair does not grow much longer, it is inexpensive, if everything is done correctly, the skin will be smooth and healthy for 2-3 weeks. There are no cuts after sugaring.

Should I shave my bikini area? There are other methods available to us to get rid of hair: waxing, depilation with a thread (however, it is difficult to imagine performing deep depilation in this way), the use of salon methods (but this is done through a specialist and is not so cheap). But shaving is always available if you need to get yourself in order quickly and without help. So all self-respecting women should definitely learn the correct technique for shaving their delicate area, master the art of quickly improving their body and creating a favorable impression on the beach. And not only.
