As a beginner, you might think that shaving your vagina is as simple as picking up a razor and going to town, but trust me, it’s a LITERAL jungle down there, and you don’t want to end up looking like a badly-trimmed hedge.
I’m serious 😬
Now, shaving your vagina wet or dry has it’s own claims and benefits. So, for you, I tried to do both. Stay with me.
Shaving Your Vagina Wet.
Girllll, it was a struggle trying to beat the damp and slippery part of the wet shaving.
Anyway, I took a warm shower to soften up the hairs, rubbed my shaving cream, and used my new razor.
Well, let’s just say I didn’t quite come out of that jungle feeling good…
Fresh out of the shower, It felt like I did a smooth job. But, my shave wasn’t as close as I had hoped, and I was left with stray hairs and razor bumps.
Not impressed, I dried myself off and decided to give dry shaving a go. I’ll admit, I was a bit nervous.
Shaving Your Vagina Dry.
The dry shave was certainly a wilder ride. The lack of lubrication made it a rougher shave, but I kept going. And I actually got a pretty close shave to what I wanted.
But, as they say, no pain, no gain, my skin wasn’t happy with me. I ended up with redness and irritation, which isn’t what I was looking for.
But hey, at least I can say I’ve experienced the best and worst of both. So, which should you choose?
Should I Shave My Vagina Wet Or Shave It Dry?
Try it yourself. The answer will depend on your personal preferences and your willingness to deal with the discomfort.
From my experience, dry shaving is better. But if you’re more worried about avoiding irritation, wet shaving is the safer bet. Of course, there’s always the option of waxing, which can provide longer-lasting results but comes with its own really painful set of ouch!
Some Shaving Tips.
What ways can you keep your vagina regions looking and feeling their best?
- Always Exfoliate: Gently scrubbing away dead skin cells can help prevent ingrown hairs and keep your skin smooth and soft. You can use a loofah or a gentle body scrub to get the job done.
- Moisturize: put on some lotion or oil after shaving to keep your skin hydrated and happy. Coconut oil is a good popular choice because it’s gentle, moisturizing, and smells good.
- Use A New Shaving Stick: Your razor is your help here, so make sure it’s up to the task. A sharp, clean razor can help prevent those nicks and irritation, so change it regularly. You can even put a good amount of shaving cream or gel on your shaving stick. It will it help the razor move smoothly and it will also provide some much-needed moisture.
- Do It Gently: Take it slow, and be mindful of the direction of hair growth. Shaving against that grain will give you a closer shave, but it can also cause irritation, so be careful. And remember to rinse off the razor frequently to prevent hair buildup it.
- Safety Razors: These old-school razors aren’t like the usual ones so they take a bit of practice to really know how to use, but they will give you a good shave with less irritation.
- Irritation: avoid shaving when your skin is already irritated or dry. Also, try to avoid shaving right before or after a workout, when your pores are open and your skin is much more sensitive. And if you do end up with some razor burn or ingrown hairs, try applying a cold compress or some witch hazel to soothe your skin.
