Question Posted Wednesday December 5 2007, 6:44 pm
OH MY GOSH. Alright so I tried waxing down there because I absolutely hate hair, and it was terrible pain. I don't like shaving because it gets itchy and they grow back in like two seconds. How can i get it to hurt less, or like numb it or something. I mean it's terrible pain. I'll take any advice I can get. Thanks soo much (:
In long experience with girls who like to maintain things downstairs, shaving is a terrible idea. Stubble sucks. It really sucks. Really really really sucks. It doesnt feel good for either party.
The same time... well personally I do not like a "natural" bush. I trim myself and I expect my girlfriend too (shes like you, hates having hair down there)
Our solution was a beard trimmer. With it, you can shave down below and get the majority of the hair out of the way. But at the same time, a beard trimmer is not going to get all of the hair off. What it does, is it cuts most of it off and you have tiny hairs left.
These hairs are long enough to be soft and non-irritating. No ingrown hairs or anything like that. No razorburn. But they are short enough that they do not get in the way at all.
Doing this has solved all of our problems in this regard. She keeps it short and manageable and avoids all the unpleasantness of a razor downstairs, I get a girl who is well groomed. Everyone wins.

There is a type of 'dry' wax that doesn't stick to the skin but it sticks to the hair. It still hurts, but it is significantly less painful. It also helps with the redness afterward. I wish that I could tell you what it is called, but it kind of looks like dry candle wax if that helps at all. I'm really sorry that I couldn't help more with that part. There is also dipilatories(sp?) but they can irritate the skin and can be harmful if gotten into too close of contact with your vagina. I always found that they made me itch like crazy, even worse than when the hair was starting to grow back from shaving. Hope this helps somewhat. [ Ashumms's advice column | Ask Ashumms A Question ]

Don't wax when you have your period or a few days before if you know when you're gonna have it because it'll hurt even more. You might want to get a professional brazilian wax, but some places spray some lidocaine to help numb the area. You can also buy smoothing lotions drug stores or wherever probably sell next to waxing kits. Check your local aisle. Also, make sure the hair is around 1/4 to 1/2 inches long because shorter hair is harder to grab at and hurts more. [ hotpotato's advice column | Ask hotpotato A Question ]
