Hair Removal

The only truly permanent form of hair removal is electrolysis. Unfortunately, it's painful, slow and expensive.

I went the laser route. For years I plucked my pubes but as I got older I found it harder and harder to get at some spots. Because I plucked I didn't have that much feeling so the laser didn't hurt. Two years later I am pretty smooth now but when I go in for a touch-up I can feel the japs. The cost isn't really too bad, about $1,500 over three years.

Through lots of experimentation (ooooh, ah, mmmm, and ouch) here's what works best for me...

First, the biggest mistake I made was trying to do everything at once. My body was used to certain things so the most important thing I learned was to take it one step at a time, wait, get used to it, then take the next. Being very worked up when I decided I was going to shave prevented this from happening several times. That night was a lot of fun, but work the next day, or just life in general sucked. Anyway, for me...

1. Cut with scissors / shears for a couple weeks. Get it as close as you can without pulling the hair.

2. Flip top on an electric razor - go over the area ONCE. Do that for a couple weeks.

3. The regular end of the electric razor - use new blades and go over it gently, ONE time. Again, a couple weeks.

4. Go over it a little bit more the next time you do it. Keep getting more hair off every couple weeks. Go slow and if something isn't getting cut do NOT force it. think about it and tackle it again the next time.

Before taking these steps, get some Bikini Zone or something similar and put it on every time after you shave.

You can do the same thing with a regular razor, but I'd suggest getting disposables and using a new one each time. Take the same first step as above. Then take only one swipe only each time. Wait a 3 or 4 days then do it again. As your body can accommodate it, increase the frequency and number of "swipes". Always put antibump cream afterwards. Always go WITH the hair for at least a couple months. Only when you get no bumps and all of the hair off you can going with the grain should you go against it. I know it's frustrating as hell. You're soooooo close. "if only I could go against the grain, it would be baby smooth". It will be but wait a few weeks. When you're ready, get very good disposables to use the first few times. ONLY one swipe per time, blah, blah, blah. Use very warm water, use PLENTY of shaving cream. Pat dry, don't rub, and use Bikini Zone. Baby power or Vaseline during the day helps as well.

It took a long time for me, but now I'm very smooth and it hardy takes any time. Just gotta keep up with it.

Best of luck!

I have posted to other threads concerning hair removal but it is worth while to comment again since this is an important issue for me.

I trimmed for a while and then shaved some of the hair while leaving some. Overall shaving left me with very irritated skin which did not look healthy and was not smooth because of the razor stubble. I never really ever considered waxing because it is costly and the hair would grow back and the stubble would return.

So I looked into laser hair removal. About 10 years ago, the prices were astronomical and not worth the price. But recently I checked again and found an entirely different situation. The lasers have improved greatly making them much more efficient and thus less expensive.

I am in the final stages of my treatment and it has been successful. BUT this is a long process that will span probably at least 8 months for most people. You can continue to shave or wax during the treatment period so you don't have to have hair during treatment.

If you want to be rid of the hair for good and end up with smooth healthy looking skin, laser treatments are the way to go.

I get along quite well with my Norelco 3100 Bodygroomer. It's an inexpensive rechargeable designed for "below the neck" grooming. I'm pretty sure it was less than $30 when I bought it.

Unlike shaving with a conventional razor, I didn't experience the itchy stubble. You obviously want to use some caution, but I've been using it regularly for a few years on my penis, balls, and ass without any nicks. And being older, the surfaces I'm working on aren't all taut and smooth as a younger person's might be. It helps if I get myself semi rigid where my sack starts to draw up tight.

I also use the depth comb attachments to keep surrounding areas trimmed down to about 1/2". I prefer to use it dry, but it is 100% waterproof if that is your preference.

It takes me less than 5 minutes clear everything and it leaves me with just a bit of a tingle for a few moments.

I'm not a model by any means - but if you want to see the results AND don't mind seeing an old man with an enema hose in his ass… here is a picture.

I have been having my pubes waxed for a few months now. Previous to this it has been years of shaving, which has been fine, but my GF and I really love the waxed look and feel. There have been no ingrown hairs due to Betafusin, an anti inflammatory cream I use after a bout a week and half. I go every month for a treatment. My "waxer" is also my massage therapist and I have shared my love of enemas with her too.

I've got incredibly sensitive skin (to the point that nowadays I just go au naturale). The only thing I found for hair removal that didn't end in tears, terrible rashes, and healing salve was an epilator- it looks like an electric razor but instead of blades it had a bunch of rotating tweezer heads (it's less terrifying than it sounds). It gave me the benefits of waxing and removing hair at the root but let me avoid the wax taking off the top layer of my skin. I also really liked that I could do it at my own pace in privacy, and my epilator cost around what one Brazilian was at a nice salon did. Like waxing the first few times were the worst, after that the touch-ups were pretty painless. I bought this model and loved it (not affiliated with the company or Amazon), but there are a bunch of brands around. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000NDTO5G/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Pro tip- trim hair to 1/4 inch or less before using for a less painful experience, and pull the skin taut when doing loose/wrinkly bits. Hope this info is useful to someone, and happy hair removal!

I have tried shaving, and depilatory creams,but have come to prefer the epilator.

Shaving,(I have to do me myself), is very awkward in the crack around the anus, and behind the ball sack. Depilatory creams do a good job, but leave a clear and distinctive tell-tale odour, inconvenient when one is sharing a bathroom!

Trimming first as suggested by Bainne is important, 3 to 5 mm works best. Also, be very careful to hold the skin tautt when working on or near the scrotum. Else the loose skin can get pulled and wrapped around the epilator head. Painful enough to stop the session right away!

I'm currently at this point trying to make the same decision. I have been shaving for over 10 years. I shave probably every 3-4 days. The consistency isn't the problem.

I have very course curly hair. And my pubic area though looks very nice and smooth the first day. A couple days later is riddled with bumps and razor burn. It's the most aggravating thing ever. Let's not even talk about ingrowns.

I'm currently considering waxing. But I really would rather have something I could do in the privacy of my own home whenever I wanted.

I can barely sit down for my favorite show every week. Showing up for a painful waxing appointment once a month just doesn't sound like i could be consistent with.

Just have it lasered off. I used to have the problem. I always got razor burn. Now it all gone with no stubble, ever!

I shave my groin every morning in the shower and have done it for years. Think my skin has accepted the treatment since I never get any bums. It has been a routine and I never think I have to do it. I started out slowly and expanded the area bit by bit. Works perfectly for me.

Little lady,

Sometimes when people get razor burn in the days following shaving, it is because they need to apply a small amount of talc-free baby powder to the pubic area after they get out of the shower and gently pat the area dry. Then when you use the powder after a few minutes when you are dry, spread the powder in the direction that the hair grows, not against the grain. Repeat the process each time you get out of the shower for the 3 days after the day you shave.

Do you have a routine like that on the days after you shave? It could also be that when you take a shower you are using a soap that irritates the area. I recommend Dr. Bronner's Unscented for a body wash that does not have irritating chemicals and fragrances (I have no affiliation with the company, by the way).

There are so many variables in hair removal that cause irritation, whether you wax, shave, or epilate. But on the other hand, you can always research whatever method you choose and find out how to remove the hair with as little irritation as possible.

I wondering if someone have ever tried the epilator on genitals...

I'm interested in women and males genitals. Someone is able to use it on the balls!... of on the penis bar... and some ladies is able to go done without to many problems...

At the end of the story I'm using in on my belly hairs and the results is not so good, some are extracted other broken... but i'm confidend that after some time I'll be able to extract all the hair correctly and to leave the skin silky as by wax.

ps.

I'm speaking about silk-epil (braun, philips ....) etc .... I know that most of you will suggest the wax... but I'm not interested for this topic

"how use epilatro for genital depilation" .. consedering also the sado aspects

It was the most painfull thing I've ever experienced! not for me!

Schedule shaving about once a week for us.

So did you try ozzy10?

what happened?

Dado, not only did it rip the hairs out excruiatingly, it ripped up my scrotum too! I think it might be ok for thicker skin like legs, but not for thin skinned genitalia!

Hi I'm a man aged 59 but very fit in good shape. I absolutely hate body hair, it ages me beyond belief so remove it all . I am totally hair free and it looks great.

What do you think of men who are hair free?

I find consistent daily shaving with a cheap plastic razor and shaving cream works for me. My ball sack has always had little bumps and I was afraid that I would cut into them, but never did. It seams now, I'm addicted to shaving my balls. I get hard every time I shave which is good because I also shave the lower shaft and with the left over cream I use it a lube for my now erect penis......

I shave my pubic hair 2 times a week, On every Wednesday and Saturday

I have a question about shaving pubes. This may have been a topic in the past, but I haven’t seen it. My wife said I looked a little “prehistoric” down there, and I admitted she was probably right, but I never got around to solving the problem. One day, when I was getting ready to shower, she stopped me with a pair of scissors in her hand and asked me if she could give me a little trim down there. I acquiesced and spread my hairy legs and about half the length trimmed off the first time. Eventually, it brought about some other real changes to our lives, and I wonder about other readers and what they think about this rather strange idea.

I wonder about other readers and what they think about this rather strange idea.

Strange? Pubic shaving has been considered normal in many different cultures since the beginning of recorded history. It goes in and out of fashion according to the whims and whams of collective notions of beauty and/or hygiene. But there is nothing strange about it. We were now simply in a period of upswing for the fashion.

I'm pretty new to this but here goes. My wife and I both have very soft genital hair, and to date, we have never shaved, but we cut to within 1/4 of an inch. We do each other every two or three weeks. Perhaps this is a blond thing but our hair is soft and not prickly at all. I doubt we will ever shave as it's nearly invisible anyways. I think it's sexy and I love the feeling. Also, I disagree about it making a woman ugly. It also makes a male's penis appear larger, in my opinion. Perhaps it's because part of the penis is not hiding in the bush but proudly visible from the stem. We use quality scissors and sometimes a trimmer on an electric razor to do the upper legs or around the penis shaft.

Also, I disagree about it making a woman ugly.

Who ever said or wrote that? Good grief, perish the thought.

I have shaved trimmed, went for 5 laser treatments- that is very expensive and after five treatments it just thinned it out, That would require thousands of dollars. They recommended waxing, I have done that for several years, but now I mostly just shave, it works best, cheaper and I can shave or trim as much as I want to change it up

Well I would like to say that after years of shaving I pulled (literally) out the stops and had electrolysis. no regrowth, stubble or maintenance of any kind. Always smooth.

I go to a lady that shave it all including the rosebud and anywhere else you need, no sheet, doesn't provide a hand job or anything sexual.

Last week I found a new lady that does hair removal and massage but she highly recommended sugaring,it was kind of painful in the first 2 pulls but after that I got used to it - she did offer a hj. The final product after the sugaring was incredible, oh and if you into cfnm it's a bonus

Babies do not have pubic hair, why should adult babies have pubic hair? I am shaved bald as a new born baby but my problem is, how do I keep the hair from coming back. I want to remove it permanently. So how do I ?
