A shaved pubic region is supposed to be prettier, more attractive. The research done in Australia confirmed that the removal of hairs improved the sex life of many women. Many western women decide to shave their pubic region completely, despite the fact that gynaecologists warn against it. Shaved pubic regions are not only troublesome for gynaecologists, but psychiatrists also wonder what leads women to willingly shape their bodies according to the Barbie doll asexual ideal. They find it quite alarming that modern women no longer accept their own natural signs of maturity.

Shaving your vagina #2: What do surgeons think about it?

There are always two sides to every story. Cosmetic surgeons disagree and say that hairs are a nuisance without any real role and represent an obstacle to women who just want to truly relax and enjoy their sexuality. Some even think that shaving your vagina cab be a better therapy for you  than any pills or conversation. Women, who had them permanently removed, are more confident and more successful at finding (sex) partners.

Let us leave the scientists to their various arguments. There is surely a grain of truth in every argument. In the end it is you who will decide whether to remove the pubic hair or not, despite their arguments. You are being helped by a vast array of methods and products, which differ depending on their efficiency and the level of pain they cause.

Shaving your vagina #3: Do it at home!

Razors, wax, depilation creams, epilators are some instruments which provide mid-term removal of hair. They are still quite widespread.

Shaving your vagina has some advantages – it is relatively fast, painless and cheap. If your hairs are rather long or you are shaving them for the first time, you can cut them first – you will save some razors this way. The usage of shaving cream will additionally ease the task. Start shaving your vagina in the direction of their growth. Ingrown hair can be prevented if you wash immediately after shaving and softly rub the area – you should be really careful, skin is very sensitive at this time. Many women are soon fed up with shaving as pubic hair seems to grow stronger and faster.

Shaving your vagina #4: Permanent removal

More painful ways usually provide a longer lasting removal (hair will not grow up to two weeks), while less painful methods are a short-term solution and provide up to three days of complete smoothness. Electrolysis is slightly more painful and takes quite some time, but it removes the hair permanently. Electrolysis for home use also exists, but is supposedly not as efficient. Laser hair removal   removes approximately 90 % of hair.

Women, whose hormonal imbalance makes their hair grow extremely fast, felt quite relieved when a new cream, which hinders their growth, was introduced.

Shaving your vagina #5: Brazilian depilation

It is the removal of hair by hot wax and strip – all of the hair (except for a line or two) in the pubic area and anus. This procedure is carried out in many cosmetic salons and on a monthly basis, the hair grows back after 14 days, sometimes sooner, depending on the person. Brazilian depilation hurts the most immediately before or after menstruation, so choose another method at that time.

We will not mislead you – it is a painful procedure, especially if your hairs were accustomed to razors and thus became even firmer. It should be less painful and there should be less hair each time it is done. But beware, many women say that after the depilation their hair is often ingrown and causes blisters. Even when you stop with depilation some hairs never grow and also hurt. The procedure is also awkward because in some salons you have to kneel doggy style. Be sure to check first with your friends where good depilation is being carried out. Ask about the type of wax – the amount of pain depends on it. Nevertheless, many women praise the Brazilian depilation and would never give it up. The decision is yours.

More and more men also take care of their pubic region

If you think that pubic hair removal would improve your sex life, do it. For starters try a less permanent way, in case you find out that it does not suit you. Considering the fact that pubic hair shaving is no mystery to men anymore, you can do it together. Let him shave you, and you him – it will surely add some spice to your sex life. Many cannot speak highly enough about the way it makes them feel when completely smooth genitals rub against each other and copulate at the peek of arousal.
