Shaving - women?

BinaryPulsar

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.

You must be a lot more flexible than me. :laugh:

:flowerforyou:

I am very flexible. :flowerforyou:

How YOU doin'?

I'm a send you a FR, but only because I'm secretly after your husband. I have some time travel theories and formulas I need him to proof. :laugh:

I have to say that I love that guys are chiming in on this! Although, if I think if I tried a different razor I'd probably slip and cut myself and die a horrible death in the shower.

This post made me laugh so hard! Thanks I needed that.

Ps: I feel the same way

This shaving thread has taken many more twists and turns than I could have anticipated.

I get waxed and would highly recommend it if you can handle the 10 mins or less of pain.

After the fifth post, we're just supposed to go off in any direction, right? :laugh:

However, to keep with the shaving theme....

I don't shave my legs. I don't shave my armpits. I don't shave my...you know...down there. I haven't put a razor to my face since the company Christmas party, and even then, I had the barber do it (I use face clippers weekly to keep from looking like Bigfoot). With all that said, women, do what you want. Wanna go hairless? Fine. Wanna be one with nature? Also fine. Something in between? Good too. But whatever you do, do it for you. To hell with us men who say you have to do this to be pretty when some of us can make a coat out of our back fur.

Oh wow! I wouldn't go that far with it! Sexually repressed? smh

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 agree about the books being crap; I've found them hard to read, purely on the basis of literary merit, or lack thereof. As for real life, whatever fantasy games are played between consenting adults is all good.

I'd rather shave; I never have any detrimental issues with that, and I already have enough pain in my life not to go looking for more, much less spending money to do so.

i don't.

nair.
threading.

that's it.

I briefly experimented with not shaving all the time at one point in college (since it was common not to). It didn't lose me any admirers. But, I do prefer to shave.

All this talk of shaving; people still do that? There are lots of more painless methods that don't leave rashes or create ingrown hairs etc. More importantly they are permanent solutions, and I'm not just talking about expensive Laser treatments.

Totally IN for the Chewbacca armpits

I don't know if anyone has mentioned it yet, but I use men's razor. The blades are just as expensive as women's multi-blades. I tried my boyfriend's Mach 3 razor one day and realized it was much better than the Venus thing I was using. I don't know why, but they seem to work better for me.

I'm allergic to the hair removal creams. I had a horrible chemical reaction to Nair which took me to the ER. Fun times! lol

I shave my legs with bar soap (Lush's porridge is my fave), then gently exfoliate with Lush's Buffy bar (if I use it before I shave then my legs are too oily and won't shave properly). Afterwards I just slather my legs with body cream ( Bath and Body' Works True Blue Spa Shea Butter Super Rich Body Cream).

I have dry legs and this works for me.

Who shaves? Wax

Venus Razors. A nice smelling foamy shower gel, take your time and cocoa butter for afterwards.

Honestly Venus Razors are the smoothest ones I have encountered. Good luck!

This.
They are the best. Is it your technique perhaps?

I personally don't have much hair being white caucasian but don't like any hair ...in my special place I usually wax every now and again but do it myself; usually does the trick

epilators errrmagad I used that once and was in so much pain and I think some of the cremes just sting and encourage infection.

I personally don't shave, except my armpits in the hottest days of summer. My friends, however, use home-made sugar and swear by it. Making your own sugar is very easy and cheap, you can just make a big batch and store it.

1 cup of sugar
approx 2 tbsp of water
a squeeze of half a lemon or less (about 1-1.5 tbsp)
about half a tsp of salt

Mix all together in a saucepan or a regular pan while mixing constantly. It will turn into a caramel color and have a consistency of syrup.

Wet a ceramic or polished granite countertop with some water, then pour the mixture (never try that with a wooden countertop). When it starts to thicken, gently fold the the edges in with a spoon and continue folding until it forms into a mass. Wait for it to cool just enough to handle (don't wait too long) and keep working it with your hands, stretching, playing with it, wetting your hands every now and then until it's nice and pliable (it turns into a whitish color). It can then be wrapped with a plastic bag and stored in the fridge.

To use, you microwave it for a few seconds and then work it and stretch it with your hands until it's pliable enough to use. To use, you spread it WITH the grain, and pull fast AGAINST the grain like you would with wax. The same piece can be re-used until you finish an area, say both legs up to the knee, before you have to discard it.

What's nice about it is that it also leaves skin pretty smooth as if you have exfoliated. Apply some lotion or oil, and you're done.

Downside: the hair needs to be long enough for it to work or else the hair won't catch in the sugar.

Wax. It's not as terrible as it's made out to be. Been waxing 10 years now, and I've gone from an orangutan to a baby's bottom. And yes, I have very sensitive skin, but I can handle a rash or two for a couple of hours if it means I'm done with de-hairing for the next month or two.

I couldn't be shaving every day. I have used an epilator for years, but the ingrown hairs & growth in between plucking is a pain.

I just started laser hair removal & I'm so pleased with results so far that I'm planning on getting full package (legs, underarm, bikini). I have wanted this done for years & got a really great deal with a good clinic.

I shave pits, legs and lady parts every other day. I actually have extremely sensitive skin but don't really like body hair (on me, it's ok on my hubby) so make the effort.

I found that exfoliating helps, a quick scrub with a dry body brush before the shower and I use some homemade exfoliating body scrub after shaving if I have the time.

I also use oil to shave, which I blend with some essential oils to smell nice. I found this to be way better than any creams of gels bought in the shops. I used to get a rash or ingrown hairs all the time when using shaving gel. Hardly ever a problem now and that is shaving every other day. If you wash before you shave too, it softens the hairs and can help stop ingrown hairs. Also if you use oil and you wash before shaving, you are left with a thin coating of the oil on your skin that you can just rub in after and you don't need to moisturise.
