As a woman you are probably aware of how the standards of fashion always seem to change over time. Hair removal though appears as more than a fashion flick, but rather as a social requirement that is here to stay. This is the basic idea behind this site. Although I present quite a lot of temporary hair removal methods, we strongly focus on more permanent or at least long duration methods. Strangely enough, hair removal is anything but a new approach, but only relatively recently has entered mainstream. This change of perspective has brought many new hair removal methods, not all of them terribly effective and a few of them downright dangerous. It is important to know what is best for you and what you should stay away from.

The Generation Gap

The fact that hair removal has only recently entered mainstream culture is perhaps most noticeable when analyzed through the perspective of elder versus younger people. Walk on to a beach and the contrast will startle you. Young women take it as a normal thing, while some of the older women tend to be more… “natural”. Natural is fine as long as it doesn’t create the “creepy” factor. Of course there is also another side of the story as there are plenty of social activists that claim that hair removal is just another ridiculous constraint imposed on women. Here we strongly disagree with this point. Hair removal is not more of a constraint than washing your teeth after every meal. There is indeed a difference between the standards applied to women and men, but this barrier is fading, especially in the pubic hair removal area, as more and more men also employ it now, for obvious reasons.

Hair Removal – Between Wax And Lasers

The most important inhibiting factor that doesn’t make some women comfortable with hair removal is the fact that little has changed over time in the methods used and there is usually pain associated with this process. However strong this feeling remains, it is false nonetheless. The array of techniques for hair removal today is more than impressive. Cutting through this maze of alternatives can be difficult though. This is where we hope to help and we think that we will do a fine job at it. Take the time to read as many articles as possible, so you become an informed woman and always keep in mind that what may be the best for another woman, might not be the best for you. Analyze carefully your skin needs and how long your hair takes to regenerate. Also try to remember that if a deal looks too good to be true, than it probably is. If you will start to pull the hair off, it will hurt, no matter what ingredients are in there, so if you want a pain free hair removal experience it is for the best that you try a more advanced technique.

Hair Removal Deceptions

Hair removal is still largely seen as a field of casual cosmetics and quite often the true professionals are hard to spot. The problem with the cosmetic industry is the fact that it usually promises more than it can deliver. If all the cosmetic ads were right, everybody would be living in a wrinkle and pimple free utopia and would need no more than a single drop of cream to achieve that. The same principle applies to hair removal. Beware of those that claim to offer “permanent hair removal” and always ask yourself how much does “long lasting” really lasts. There are also techniques that are downright dangerous and forbidden in United States for this reason. Always keep a critical eye and do a background check on the various methods that are presented to you.

Why A Hair Removal Site?

I am dedicated to help you find the best hair removal techniques and products for all your hair removal needs through my web site.

I will be adding more content on beard, nose, ear, body, leg, arms, pubic, underarm, chin, facial, upper lip, and cheek hair removal in the coming weeks and months so please subscribe to my web site’s RSS feed for content updates.

I am sure not all girls shave their pubic hair. However, I do know a lot of girls who shave their pubic hair and that includes me.

Do Men Shave Pubic Hair?

The situation with men is quite similar to women. Not everyone likes to shave their pubic hair. Furthermore, men do not usually wear bikinis and thongs to the beach so they do not have as many reasons to shave their pubic hair like women do.

Should I Shave Pubic Hair?

This is a question that you have to answer yourself. Shaving your pubic hair is not a must but there are many reasons to shave.

Here’s a list of reasons why people shave their pubic hair:

• They want to look good in a bathing suit or lingerie
• Their partners prefer them to be shaved below
• They like the comfort of having little or no pubic hair
• Their religion requires them to shave their pubic hair
• They love to design and color their pubic hair
• They don’t like waxing, sugaring, laser and creams to remove their pubic hair

What Should I Use To Shave Pubic Hair?

You should always use tools that were designed for the pubic area. I personally use and recommend the Body Bare pubic shaver. Alternatively, you could also get a razor for shaving your pubic hair. Just make sure your razor was designed for the “intimate areas”. If you plan to use a razor blade, be sure to use specialized shaving creams for the pubic area such as the Body Shave Cream, Coochy Shave or Aveeno Extra Gentle Shaving Gel to prevent unwanted nicks and cuts.

What Are The Side Effects Of Shaving My Pubic Hair?

Improper pubic shaver almost always causes side effects like pubic razor bumps, pubic pimples and ingrown pubic hair, which can be both painful and itchy. To prevent these irritations, please use the proper tools as mentioned earlier. A good way to prevent ingrown pubic hair is to apply the Gigi No Bumps before and after shaving to help the new pubic hair grow out without curling back into the skin. You could also try the Bikini Zone Cream to get rid of the razor bumps.

Who Needs the Hot Pink Book?

This book is primarily for women but men may find some ideas on how to style their pubic hair. Bonus 3 is a style guide for men with some cute cartoon pictures of pubic hair designs for men. The other 2 bonuses are for both sexes, detailing some tips on how to create pubic hair design stencils and how to apply hair dyes on pubic hair.

What is the Hot Pink Book About?

The Hot Pink book is generally about pubic hair removal techniques like shaving, waxing, sugaring and cream depilatories . However, the authors do not recommend permanent pubic hair removal, epilatories and threading. The book contains a lot of tiny tidbits of “did you know” type of information on pubic hair. References to ancient men and women to modern day “Sex and the City” TV shows can be found throughout the book.

What Does the Hot Pink Look Like on the Inside?

The Hot Pink book boasts of 32 unique full-color photos of crotches. Some of the photos are very erotic while others are artistically taken. You won’t see the faces of the models most of the time, even if you do, the faces are quite blur. Even though there are lots of pictures of real female crotches and breasts, the 10 or so female pubic hair styles in chapter 2 were created in an illustrated format.

I also like the “resource box” at the end of each chapter because it has a lot of links to valuable products and tips. The authors call it the “Treasure Chest”. I can tell that the authors really spent a lot of effort to make this eBook look good. One of the best designed eBooks I have seen in a long time.

Here’s a Summary of the Things You Will Learn From the Hot Pink Book…

• 6 tips on getting a smooth shave without bumps
• 7 tips on how to have a long lasting and pleasurable waxing experience
• 5 tips on how to create your very own sugaring kit at home
• Why you shouldn’t apply deodorant on your pubic region
• Rejuvenating bathing rituals for you to enjoy the pubic hair removal process
• A women’s guide on the 10 types of orgasm how to get more frequent and more pleasurable orgasms
• The erotic art of grooming your pubes with your partner
• Over 15 pubic hair designs with “DIY” stencils for easy shaping of your pubic hair
• Interviews with experts on the topics of sex, body art, relationships and beauty

Final Thoughts…

I think the Hot Pink book really saves me a lot of time because it takes a lot of work to compile all this information in one place. I like the pubic hair style stencils and the illustrated pubic hair designs because I can print them out and show them to a professional pubic hair stylist to let them know exactly what I want.

Overall a great piece of work and art at a very affordable price. Grab yourself a copy of Hot Pink today to see what you’re missing out on.

When you order the Body Bare, it will arrive at your place in a discreet packaging with a description on the packing note that reads “shaving kit”. Mine came in a rather bulky UPS Express box. This is not the type of item a postman can stuff into your mailbox and you will have to personally sign for it to receive this package. I took as many photographs of the Body Bare, Ladyfair and Feminine products to let you see how the product really looks like and discover what you will be receiving when you get one. The official web site does not do a good job with their tiny pictures and it leaves you with a lot questions.

There are 3 packages for sale on the official web site:

1. Body Bare + Ladyfair ($59.99)
2. Body Bare + Feminine ($79.99)
3. Body Bare + Ladyfair + Feminine ($89.99)

Read on to find out which combination I believe is the best value for money…

Ladyfair Intimate Trimmer Review

This is the white product you see in the photos. This is the main tool I use to shave my pubic area before using the Body Bare to remove the smaller bits of pubic hair. You could simply use the Ladyfair on it’s own if you do not wish to shave it all off. You will have to purchase 2 AA batteries to run this trimmer because they are not included in the box. There are 2 sides to the Ladyfair - one side is flat for shaving flat skin surfaces while the other side is round for shaving curvy areas. You will need to apply some baby powder on your skin to make it smoother for the Ladyfair to glide across your skin. It will take 2 or more strokes to remove the hair from your desired area. I believe the Ladyfair is capable of trimming your pubic hair to a length of about 1 to 2mm or less.

I first tested this on my hand to see how it works and I must admit I did not read the instructions completely. I noticed that I got nicks and cuts if I apply too much pressure against my skin with this trimmer. Luckily I tested it on a pretty harmless area of my body first until I got the hang of it. I don’t think the Ladyfair is suitable for uneven surfaces of the genital area even though it works perfectly fine in the bikini line area and the pubic region. If you have a couple of loose strands of pubic hair on or around your genitals, I would recommend that you use a pair of tweezers to pluck them out instead. If not, you have to be extremely skillful and careful with this tool to trim the pubic hair off your genitals.

Feminine Intimate Area Trimmer Review

On PersonalShavers.com, the Feminine trimmer is silver in color and I was disappointed when mine came in a dull black color. This tool comes with a free AA battery and it works pretty much the same way as the Ladyfair, the only difference is you have to hold it like toothbrush and use like a paint brush. Try to visualize pointing the “teeth” of the Feminine in a 45 degree angle like how a sculptor would use a chisel and glide it across your skin as though you are brushing something. It will take a couple of strokes to trim the hair down till it is almost gone.

I made a mistake during my early days with this trimmer by pressing it in a perpendicular angle onto my skin because I thought I could split my pubic hair from the top and shape my pubic hair into a certain design. That is a big no no as it will result in cuts and nicks. Applying too much pressure also results in minor cuts and nicks. Baby powder is necessary to reduce friction and to provide a nice glide for the trimmer to do it’s work. Personally, I don’t think this trimmer is necessary if you are not too fussy about shaping your pubic hair as the Ladyfair does a pretty good job on it’s own.

Body Bare Personal Pubic Shaver Review

I saved the Body Bare for the last part because I wanted to explain the necessary trimming process before you can use this pubic shaver. On it’s own, the Body Bare can’t shave anything off your body if the hair you want to shave isn’t a stubble. A stubble in this context would refer to pubic hair that is 1 to 2 mm in length or shorter. Whenever I clean my Body Bare shaver, I usually see tiny bits of hair that are no more than 2 mm in length. That is how short you need to reduce your pubic hair length to.

The instructions says something about moving the Body Bare in circular motions around the area you want to shave. I find it necessary to tilt the Body Bare in a 45 degree angle to remove some of my hair because hair doesn’t grow out vertically 100% of the time. I even move the Body Bare in all possible directions to try to catch all the hair into the revolving blades. Firmly holding the skin around the area till it is taut helps a lot too if you experience difficulty in getting the right angle to remove the hair you want.

I bought the rechargeable version of the Body Bare and it comes with a standard USA plug to attach to the bottom of the Body Bare unit. I am not sure how long it takes to charge the unit completely. I usually leave the unit to recharge overnight and it lasts a maximum of about 10 to 15 minutes - the time required for a typical shaving session. If you have never shaven your pubic area, it will take quite a while to get used to these tools and the daily maintenance work required to keep your pubic hair short and neat. Pubic hair usually grows out in about 1 to 2 days after shaving and if you plan to keep your pubic region completely shaved all the time, it is going to take quite a lot of maintenance work on a daily basis. I prefer to keep things simple and remove the hair that may be exposed outside of my underwear and keep the the length short. Therefore, I only need to work on my pubic region about twice per week.

Putting It All Together…

The Body Bare and the bundled trimmers are not perfect and they require a little bit of learning curve to use them effectively. It doesn’t matter if you choose to shave, wax or use hair removal creams, there is always a very high chance of getting ingrown hairs in the pubic region when they start to grow back due to the curly and thick nature of pubic hair. With the Body Bare pubic shaver, I have been able to dramatically reduce the occurance of ingrown pubic hair compared to the time when I used my leg shaver and leg shaving cream to do the job. Fortunately there is a solution to ingrown pubic hair… I have been free of ingrown pubic hair ever since I started using the Gigi No Bump lotion before and after shaving. Somehow it makes the pubic hair grow out vertically and not sideways (Thank goodness!). In short, Ladyfair Intimate Trimmer + Body Bare + Gigi No Bump = A wonderful pubic shaving solution for men and women.

Women in particular, prefer to have a hairless body as this often is associated with feminine beauty. However, there are an increasing number of men who prefer to have their pubic hair removed for aesthetic reasons as well. The trend with men today is having a neat and well chiseled muscular body without hair. However, most people find that learning how to groom pubic hair is preferable to complete public hair removal many reasons.

What Is Pubic Hair Grooming?

Pubic Hair Grooming is basically keeping the hair in the pubic region neat and trim. Today, many women (and men) like to trim the pubic hair in different shapes because it also looks attractive. The most common shape is a neat inverted triangle followed by heart shape, standing rectangle, or just a plain thin line.

Initially, you might need the help of a professional to get the shape you require. Once you have acquired it, all you would need to do is maintain it regularly – normally every three to four days would be a good interval.

Please note that this would require a mix of complete pubic removal and trimming – in order to maintain the shape you would need to wax or shave the region outside its perimeters plus you would need to trim the existing pubic hair to maintain the desired look.

How To Groom Pubic Hair That Was Shaven

When you shave the hair in the pubic region, you would need to pay the same attention you would pay to any other part of the body where you shave hair, i.e. legs or underarms. The only exception with the pubic hair region is that it is very sensitive and it requires a lot of care and patience while doing so.

Pubic hair grooming after a total shave would need to wait until the hair has grown back (about a week to ten days) uniformly enough to be trimmed. Use only a pubic hair shaver like the Body Bare for the purpose to avoid the danger of nicks. Set these appliances to long length before using them. Ensure that the hair is soft and pliable before grooming by washing it with shampoo and extra conditioner so the grooming.

You could also groom the hair with scissors for which you will also need a large comb to straighten the hair and a mirror to keep track on how much trimming is okay.

How To Groom Pubic Hair That Was Waxed

Pubic hair grooming after waxing is no different than grooming pubic hair after shaving. You only would have to wait longer for it to grow sufficiently for grooming since waxing removes the hair from its roots. Where shaving involves a wait for 7-10 days, waxing would need to wait to for about a month.

Other Pubic Grooming Ideas

While many people primarily pursue pubic hair grooming in order to keep their pubic hair neat and trim, others look at it is a way to express their individuality in a unique way. Many people like to spice up their public hair grooming by creating different pubic hair designs in their public hair. Maybe you would enjoy trying a heart shape for Valentines day or a champagne glass for your anniversary? The shapes you can choose are limited only by your imagination and grooming skills.

Others like to introduce color into their public hair grooming routines. There are many safe pubic hair dyes that could be coordinated with the color of the hair (on the head) which can make you feel even better about the overall look of your body. If you are feeling really adventurous, you could even change the color of your pubic hair to something completely different from your hair color. Pubic hair dyes are specifically formulated for the sensitive skin of the pubic area so you can enjoy beauty without any pain or worry.

Now that you know all there is about pubic hair grooming you can have a neat look down there as well as great fun maintaining it so.

Pubic hair shaving is similar to other types of shaving, in the sense that it’s a method to maintain your skin’s hygiene and at the same time implementing fun or sexy designs. Much like a man’s face hair, your pubic hair can be trimmed and molded as you want.

But there are some parts of the body that need special care to be taken when shaving. The skin on your pubic area can be very sensitive, and therefore you should keep some things in mind when shaving your pubic hair.

Razor Blades

The answer to this is a little obvious: injuries. When you use a sharp blade down on your genital area, there is a chance you’ll cut your skin and experience pain. Worse yet, pubic area is more susceptible to infections, and injuries within that area usually take more time to heal. The genitals are not a plain surface; it is very difficult to use a sharp razor for pubic hair shaving and not get hurt. Besides, razor blades leave your skin irritated and uncomfortable after a shave.

Electric Shavers

Electric shavers are great tools for shaving a man’s face or a woman’s legs, but when it comes to pubic hair shaving this is not true. Electric shavers consist mostly in a set of blades on a rotated head, and when this head performs its action the blades trap single hairs and cut them. But when the skin that holds that hair is not strong enough to hold the follicle, the hair gets pulled by the electric razor and you feel pain. As your skin is more delicate down there, chances are that you will get your pubic hair pulled instead of cut. Also, the irregular surface of your genital area increases the risk of getting pinched by an electric razor when shaving your pubic hair.

Pubic Shavers

Pubic shavers like the Body Bare are specifically designed to gently eliminate your pubic hair while protecting your skin. Pubic hair shaving is a great way to keep your pubic area fresh and clean and pubic hair shavers treat your delicate areas carefully to minimize the risk of getting hurt. Besides, they allow you to be more accurate when shaving, which is great if you want your hair to have a special shape or design.

The Heart

As its name states, this pubic hair style design consists on shaving every trace of pubic hair but a portion with the shape of a heart. This one is very popular on Valentine’s day, and it’s a great gift for a hot night with someone special.

The Star

Similar to the heart, but the portion of pubic hair left is shaped like a star. Although technically there are several different pubic hair styles that represent stars, the most popular one is the regular five peeks star.

The Crescent Moon

This one is classy. A very tempting crescent moon that is very popular amongst teenage girls… and much appreciated by teenage boys too.

The Landing Strip

This pubic hair style is a classic. It’s been a popular choice since the very beginning of pubic hair shaving. It consists on shaving all pubic hair; except for a thin strip down the center of the pubic area.

The Triangle (Also Known As “Dorito”)

The Dorito (called like this because its triangular form resembles that of the famous snack) is a very popular pubic hair design too. It consists on a triangle of hair with the tip pointing downwards.

The Cockhawk

The cockhawk is a pubic hair style that somehow resembles the female landing strip, except for the fact that it is mostly used by men. It also consists on leaving a strip of pubic hair unshaved, but in this case is a little bit wider than the landing strip. Its name comes from the fact that it resembles the Mohawk hairstyle.

The Gaussian

This one is more popularly called “the bell”. It consists on shaving everything but a small bell-shaped portion of pubic hair right in the middle of the groin area. It’s called “Gaussian” because of its shape: in mathematics and probability, a “gaussian” distribution has the shape of a bell. Yes, I know; math meets pubic hair, go figure.

The Flaimhawk

The flaimhawk is popular amongst men. This great pubic hair design consists on shaving every piece of pubic hair except for a strip. Once this strip of hair is well defined, hair gel is applied to it to form spikes.

The Crew Pube

This pubic hair style resembles those flat-top, crew cut haircuts, often used by the military.

The Pullet

This pubic hair style consists on clipping the hair around the genitalia. Its name comes from the contraction of the words “pubic” and “mullet”.

The Boss Hog

The Boss Hog can be defined as the opposite of the landing strip. This is a female pubic hair style that consists on shaving just the vertical strip on the very center of the groin area, leaving hair on both sides.

The Hitlerstache

This pubic hair style consists on shaving the groin completely, except for a small square portion right above the genitals. It’s called Hitlerstache because it looks like the mustache Adolf Hitler used to wear.

Hair removal along the bikini line or above the vagina is different from removing hair along the sides of the vagina. This is because the area surrounding the vagina has uneven surfaces due to the position of your clitoris, labia and the general opening of the vagina. Any sharp object used to remove hair in this region would be dangerous because it may cause cuts very easily. You want to avoid cuts in this area in case they get infected and you don’t want to be in a position to visit a doctor because you have an infected vagina as it would be very embarrassing indeed.

Should You Use Razors to Remove Vaginal Hair?

Traditional razor blades and electric razors that were not designed for the pubic region are unsuitable for removing vaginal hair. They cannot provide you with a close shave, may lead to cuts and even ingrown pubic hair. That is why I do not recommend using leg shavers, facial shavers and other non-pubic region specific shavers to remove pubic hair. If you are willing to endure the pain of bikini waxing, you may use that as a means to remove the pubic hair around your vagina.

Choosing the Right Tools For Vagina Hair Removal

However, what I personally use and recommend is a simple pair of tweezers to pluck out any strands of hair on your genitals and the Body Bare shaver to finish the job. I believe this is an excellent combination for anyone who wants to shave their vaginas. It will provide you with smooth and sexy results and you will not have to experience the annoying vagina bumps that other methods may leave you with. You can do this in the privacy of your own home at the fraction of the cost compared to other hair removal methods.

Most electric pubic hair shavers today use a rotary foil system, which works in a two-step shaving operation. In the first step, the hair is lifted by the rotation of the foil and in the second step, the foil cuts the lifted hair as close to the skin as possible.

How Do You Use Pubic Hair Shavers?

There are 3 things you should take note of when using an electric pubic shaver:

1. Trim your pubic hair before you use the shaver. You can do it with a pair of regular scissors or by using the bundled pubic hair trimmers. This will allow the foils to work efficiently, obtaining smoother shaves and avoiding that painful feeling of a hair being taken out rather than cut.
2. The area to be shaved must be kept dry and smooth. Keep the area free of perspiration prior to the shave and apply some baby powder to create a conducive area for the pubic hair shaver to work.
3. After you have finished shaving, apply some moisturising lotion. This will help to close your pores and protect skin.

How Often Should You Use Pubic Hair Shavers?

Pubic hair shavers were designed for daily shaving. Of course, it also depends on how fast your pubic hair grows back on your body and how frequently you prefer to shave. This will vary from person to person.

Body Bare VS Seiko S-Yard 1080 Cleancut Personal Shaver

To help you understand the differences between the 2 pubic hair shavers, here’s a brief comparison between two of the most popular electric pubic hair shavers available: the Body Bare and the newly released Seiko S-Yard 1080 Cleancut Personal Shaver.

The Body Bare is the clear winner when you put it side by side against the Seiko S-Yard 1080 Cleancut Personal Shaver. Even though the Body Bare has less freebies than the Seiko pubic shaver, you could easily get some baby powder at home or oil to use with your Body Bare shaver. The warranty period of the Body Bare is double the warranty period of the Seiko pubic shaver and it even has a lifetime blade warranty. Furthermore, the price of the Body Bare is almost half of the Seiko S-Yard 1080 Cleancut Personal Shaver even with it’s superior reputation. This is why I will be sticking to my Body Bare shaver for now until I find a worthy competitor that is able to create a better pubic shaver to go beyond what the Body Bare has done.
