    Women; You do NOT need to shave your pudenda. No reason to, there isn't a man in the world who will throw you out of bed for being natural, and even if a guy would prefer it bald, so what?. It's your body and your convenience, not his. If for some reason you do want it shaved, don't waste the money on waxing, etc., just hand your SO a bowl of warm water, a Venus razor, and a smile, and he'll be more than happy to do it, and probably both of you will have fun with it afterwards.

    I legitimately enjoy getting waxed and the cost isn't an issue for me, plus it stays smoother longer than shaving. The thought of having my lady parts shaved by my partner doesn't appeal to me at all, honestly.

    As far as keeping things bald goes, I do take my man's input but I would keep it that way even if he didn't have an opinion on it because I like it that way :drinker:

    I completely agree with you, its not about what he wants at all..I prefer things shaven/waxed ..just seems cleaner..and more comfortable. But i couldn't imagine having my partner do it for me...

    ^^ Don't knock it until you try it. There are some areas that are simply easier if someone else is doing it for you.
    I would not allow my fiance to do it. He has some issues understanding that lady parts are more sensitive than manly parts.

    There's a scene in one of the 50 Shades novels where the stalker shaves the insecure, simpering idiot's lady parts and some other simpering idiot with a blog who loves those books wrote about that scene and was absolutely scanalized over it.

    I am not a woman, but have swimmer's habits after competing and coaching.

    Anything I need to shave is first trimmed with electric clippers to the bare minimum. Skin is then soaked (hot shower etc.), a clean blade on the razor and one stroke with, then one stroke against the grain removes it all. I don't use shaving cream* because I honestly find it makes it harder to shave, but I apply aftershave to my face afterward, and moisturiser elsewhere as it helps to prevent ingrown hairs.

    Edit to add: *I just use hot water.

    i understand that can be sexy and erotic but i would have to be blitzed out of my mind on black tar heroin to allow someone who isnt a dr to be that close with a razor down there

    You aren't helping your case any with this post! :laugh:

    i didnt realize i was trying to make a case

    also awesome you posted the burn pic for someone using a word whose meaning she had no clue what it meant, so i guess youre in the same category as her...

    Uh I actually use conditioner or body wash to shave with - goes on smooth, never use shaving cream. I'll use dove soap if I have to. Razor blades I just use any type really, but I like Gillette Venus Sensitive disposable razors.

    I don't shave except for special occasions *hippie*

    Ditto.

    Except my armpits. I can't stand having hair there. But, it takes less than 10 seconds to dry shave the area in the morning, so it's worth it. Everything else? Meh.

    See, and that's the opposite of me. I shave, except my armpits. I have psorasis, so I can shave them if I go through an hour-long routine and then say a prayer, so like, maybe every couple of months or so.

    I haven't read that book. Mine would never get shaved if my sweetie doesn't help me with it.

    It's a horrible book. I don't recommend it. :-)

    What I found hilarious, though, was this same blogger was saying anyone who didn't like it was sexually repressed and a prude.

    get rid of the shaving creams and soaps and shave with coconut oil(what I use) or baby oil, it gives a super close shave and keeps the skin soft enough that ingrown hairs don't develop. In addition, disposable razors are only good for about 3 shaves after that they're too dull and don't cut the hairs well enough, which also leads to ingrown hairs.

    Here's the thing, this woman was married, 30-something and had kids. She had never heard of a partner shaving the other and found it quite scandalous and totally out-there sexually. She loves the books.

    I think the books are the worst pieces of crap I ever saw printed on paper and I was actually participating in such things when I was 22. But I'm repressed and she's enlightened. lol

    I used to suffer from a similar problem when I was younger although I fortunately grew out of it (although not until my 30s). Back then though, I used to get by through sugaring and moisturising with a moisturiser designed for preventing ingrown hairs afterwards. I'd take a bottle along with me to my appointments and apply it there (:

    Sugar waxing is pretty neat! But the only problem is you have to wait a bit for the hair to grow! =(

    I don't want my husband to shave my lady parts. I will do that myself. Except when I was 9 months pregnant, I needed help because I couldn't see because my belly was in the way.

    Did that once with an old GF. She wanted me to do it, I didn't want to, but the little head talked me into it. I was so scared that I was going to nick her, we never did it again.:laugh:

    Try using a sugar scrub to exfoliate your skin before shaving

    I use hair conditioner instead of gel to shave. Makes a HUGE difference for me. Worth a shot!

    Pulsated light hair removal (photoepilation) for me, so I hardly need to worry about it these days. In 6 months or so I'll probably need to do another session just for maintenance. I suffered almost my whole life with waxing, shaving etc. just like you, but thankfully where I live (Portugal) it became the standard procedure in most beauty studios (is that how you call them?). It's not very expensive (about 50€ a session for the whole body - usually it takes around 6 sessions to get rid of all the hair, once each month), it's painless and extremely effective. A life changer, really.
