How Do I Shave My Brazillian?

If you’re wondering how to shave pubic hair, you’re not alone. There’s noticeably less info out there for shaving down there than there is about shaving other body hair.

When shaving pubic hair, you’re dealing with a sensitive area so you’d definitely want to keep a few tips in mind. In the interest of making sure you’re shaving safely and effectively, here’s a step-by-step guide for how to shave pubic hair from start to finish.

1. Trim your pubic hair

Shaving your pubic area is easier when you’ve already trimmed off any excess hair. Grab a pair of small scissors or a hair trimmer and cut your pubic hair so it’s only a few centimeters long.

2. Exfoliate the skin

Use a loofah, washcloth, or exfoliating sponge to gently exfoliate your skin before shaving. Exfoliating will remove any dead skin and allow you to shave the hair as near to the root as possible. Harsh exfoliants aren’t necessary and can actually do more harm than good in your pubic area. A simple scrub-down is all you need.

3. Apply shaving cream

Apply a generous amount of shaving cream to the areas you want to shave. It’s best to use fragrance-free shaving cream on the area, as creams with fragrance can irritate the delicate skin.

4. Shave in the direction of hair growth

Pull the skin taut and shave in the direction of your hair growth to avoid irritating the hair follicle.

5. Rince away the cream

Rinse away any excess shaving cream with warm water and gently dry off.

6. Oh wait... yes ladies, everyone has butt hair

Let’s get one thing straight, EVERYONE has butt hair. Once puberty hits, hair begins to grow in all kinds of ~specific~ places (like on your underarms, legs, pubic area, face, and, yes, butt). Yes ladies, your neighbours, your crush, your best friend all have but hair. MOST people have butt hair on the butt cheeks, in between them, or both.

7. So how do you shave down there anyway?

SQUAT AND SHAVE! squat, bend, lift & pull. Use a hand held mirror. Or call MLL.

8. Wait, why's it so darn itchy down there now?

Sneaking scratches through your bikini bottoms is not a good look. But it helps to know that The Dreaded Itch is probs caused by prickly dry skin or some sort of inflammation, which itches like *cray* as it heals. If you’re shaving with soap, try switching to shaving cream, since it’ll moisturize your skin a little more. And to prevent the tiny bumps and micro-nicks that cause aforementioned irritation, use a brand-new razor and warm water.

9. What's with all those little bumps?

So you shaved… and now it’s like your bikini line is breaking out on you? That’s likely folliculitis, aka razor burn, and it happens when bacteria get inside those little hair follicles and inflame them, causing those prickly pink-and-white bumps you’re seeing.
