shaving down there
CrystalRenee06 answered Thursday August 18 2005, 2:11 pm: Ok, well first of all... How old are you? Lol. OK, I think that shaving "down there" is something that you do to make your self feel clean... You know. You can ask your mom, for her advice, but you know it is your body. When I first started shaving, I asked my mom and she told me to do what ever I wanted to do. So you know, it is your body. Shave it if you want to, and doctors don't have a problem with that. That is your choice you know. If your going through puberty and you don't want hair down there, then get rid of it. It's your choice completely. It's your body. [ CrystalRenee06's advice column | Ask CrystalRenee06 A Question ]

I use the Gilette Mach 3 razor for both of us. I also use the Skintimate shave gel. Make sure your razor isn't dull. The first few times there were some red bumps that were a pain, so be prepared for that. It will also probably itch (sometimes a lot) as it grows back when you first start. But I've been doing it for a while now, and the itching really isn't a problem anymore.
If you choose to use a depilatory cream (veet, nair, and the like) be very careful when you use them. This is a very sensitive area we're talking about. If you leave them on for too long, there is the chance that you could have a slight burn or irritation. Also be very careful not to get them to close to your vaginal opening (assuming you're a girl). Imagine the slight burn and irritation being an internal event. That's something you just don't want to have happen.

Doctors don't say anything about that, this is your body, and theres a problem and you want to fix it, then fix it. You don't have to talk to your mom about it, shaving your legs is important to talk to your mom about because its your way of letting her know that you've started shaving. She doesn't have to give you permission to shave in that area, by now she may think that you've been shaving there already.
ASLMYISTSHA answered Tuesday August 16 2005, 10:13 am: you can shave down there but you might get razor burn the first couple of times but most stores have creams that remove hair without you even having to shave down there...all u do is apply the cream and in a couple of minutes take a wash cloth or sumthin like that and wipe it off and the hair is gone...i hope i helped!

BabyScorpio answered Tuesday August 16 2005, 12:48 am: girl, about 70% of women shave. you NEED to shave. We HAVE to shave haha you dont want to have sex and your guy cant see where's putting his penis cause its a jungle down there haha.
Nothin bad will happen if you shave, its proper for a female to shave, just like shaving your legs. When you do shave (and i hope you do) use shaving cream (i recommend Suave, Nair smells bad and makes u itch). A shaving cream will make your skin smooth. When you shave, u will get razor bumps, but dont be depressed haha its ways to get rid of those. google it. Annd...make sure you do a cute lil triangle or something, try a look that your happy with, dont jus shave it down cause you want it all gone, get creative, its your body. And it does grow back HELLA fast. Just keep that razor clean babe. Good luck love. :-) [ BabyScorpio's advice column | Ask BabyScorpio A Question ]
sunnyville answered Monday August 15 2005, 11:20 pm: What I can tell you is that you should be very careful on where you're going to shave and you could decide if you want to shave there it's your body it's not there's so if you want to just do it but shave properly.Try not to cut yourself shaving.
