Female pubic hair removal has been a mainstream practise since the 1980s. Formerly the domain of prostitutes, porn actresses, exotic and pole dancers, people from all walks of life now shave their private parts for a myriad of reasons. Few do it for their sexual partners, some viewed it from health angles, while others simply want to feel "clean and sexy."
The three most common ways of female pubic hair removal are:
(a) Shaving - Before starting, that note that it is advisable to always use a fresh razor for each and every session. Using a blunt razor may cause injury. Thus, disposable razors, especially gender specific ones, are a good choice. Before shaving the genital area, use either scissors, electric razors or whatever is convenient, to shorten the long pubic hair. Once the "bushes" has been cleared, soak the cleared areas for about 15 minutes in warm water, such as by sitting on a bath tub. An alternative is to use a warm damp cloth, to soften the remaining pubic hairs. Once the 15 minutes is over, apply gel or shaving foam on the genital area. Don't put so much of it to the extent that you cannot see what you are doing. Now, you are ready to shave your pubic hair. Remember to shave in the direction to which the hair grows. If you shave it in the opposite direction, you are likely to suffer from ingrown hairs. Try not to shave the same area repeatedly as you risk scalping the skin or get razor burns. When shaving, do it slowly and gently, and never rush. Put just enough pressure on the razor blades so that you can attain a clean shave with every stroke you make. A good practise is to keep the skin taut. After shaving, rinse the genital area first and then use a mild gentle soap to clean the whole area. Be cautioned that some soaps, because of the ingredients it contained, can cause irritation. Hence, use those which works for you. Pat dry the shaved area, and apply moisturizer.
(b) Waxing - Two main reasons why some individuals prefer waxing to shaving are that waxed hair takes longer to grow back, and it's texture is also finer. Arguably the best known method of female pubic hair removal via waxing is Brazilian wax. It was introduced in New York in 1987 by several Brazil-born sisters. A word of caution about waxing: For novice, it is best to get it done by a professional for at least several sessions before attempting it at home. Only when one is sure how it is done can one attempt to do it at home by purchasing the appropriate waxing kits from supermarkets, chemist shops etc. Waxing basically involves applying hot wax on strips of cotton cloth, then putting the cloth on the area to be waxed. When it is sufficiently dry, the cloth is pulled off quickly - which literally plucks the pubic hairs from its roots. Moisturize the waxed area to prevent irritation. An important thing to remember is that instructions which come with the product should be followed properly. Also note that individuals with sensitive skin and low pain tolerance may have problems with waxing.
(c) Laser - Female pubic hair removal using lasers is fast growing in acceptance because the result is more or less permanent. This modern technology makes use of light beams to hit the pigment located in hair follicles. The laser pulses for only a fraction of a second, just long enough to vaporise the pigment, thus destroying or significantly impairing the hair's ability to regrow. Some people squirmmed when laser hair removal is mentioned simply because of the cost involved. Each session may cost up to several hundred bucks, and several sessions are required to achieve the desired results because of the way which hair grows.
