How and when to shave? *13 year old girl*
Ok so my names Melinda Grace but everyone calls me Gracie. Anyway, Im 13 and I jus got my period but a little while before that I started to grow hair under my arms and on my private part and I wanna know how to shave without like hurting myself or getting bumps. And how often should I shave under my arms? The hair there is annoying. And on my vagina I have hair but it's not really alot. Should I still shave or wait? Aren't girls suppose to shave there and how often?

Hi Gracie,
Shaving is a personal choice, so the answer to your question is when you feel comfortable.
Get a new razor (Venus is a good brand) and shaving cream/shave gel. They sell all this at the drugstore.
For your under arms, put a small amount of shaving cream and then spread it on your armpit. Make small strokes downward, slowly. You can even watch yourself do it in the mirror to get a better view. After you finish, rinse and check to see if you missed any hairs. Try not to shave upwards, or against the growth of hair, because that causes bumps.
As for your vagina, I wouldn't worry about shaving it right now. No one will see it, and it's a big hassle to shave it all the time. It grows in thicker after you shave and its easy to get razor burn there. Not all girls shave that, it really is a matter of what you want.
You can shave your bikini line if you don't want any hair poking out of a swimsuit or underwear. Do the same that you do with your underarms. You might want to try the mini razors they have made especially for the bikini line. Be very careful and go slowly, stroking the razor downwards.
You might want to ask your mom or an older friend how they do it for more advice. Don't stress about it, practice makes perfect.
Good luck,

Hello, to start off..nice name XD It's really nice.
When you shave bother areas under the arms, and your pubic hair make sure you use shaving cream..you don't HAVE to use shaving cream on your underarms but I do, because I get really bad burning.
I shave under my arms everyday, but that's just me. I think you should wait though to shave the hair on your vagina, you don't need to just yet...when it comes to the point when it really bothers you, than you can shave. It really gets annoying down there, when you start shaving down in that place... and than you always end up getting bumps..you can't really avoid that.
Take scissors when you do decide to shave down there, trim first than shave.. use a razor with 3 blades.. it works the best.. if you have aloe vera cream/gel use that down there to..so it won't bother you when the hair grows back in.
Be careful though, use a lot of shaving cream..don't want to hurt yourself down there O.O.
I hope I helped,
Emily <3
