A Hairy Situation: Part 1. Shaving
A Hairy Situation:
Part 1. Shaving
Over the last few years, I’ve definitely noticed the trend of shaving starting to take off. At first, it was only women, and mostly trimming, leaving a triangle, or what some fondly refer to as a ‘landing strip’. As time marched on, the amount of hair left over got smaller and smaller, until the popularity of the completely shaven look took over. Even men got into it; they decided to grin and bare it in hopes of making their little friends look bigger, getting more loving from their partners, and because they liked the look.
At first, I was anti-hair removal. As a feminist, I went through the stages of “anyone who likes hairless women must like little girls” and “I’m not changing my body for anyone”. However, after reading some books and articles that suggested that a woman might get more, or at least a different sensation, from shaving, I decided to give it a try.
I thought that starting with trimming would be a good baby step for me, so I went and got me some snazzy scissors, and gave my vulva its very first hair cut. So far, so good. I enjoyed my new ‘do for a few weeks before I decided to go all the way. I read up online about all the different ways to shave, and all the styles one could do. After much consideration, I decided to go for it all, as I didn’t think I had the artistic talent to be doing designs in my pubic hair. 30 minutes and a shower later, I was as bald as any run of the mill porn star, and trying to figure out how I felt about my mons-pubis resembling Daddy Warbucks’ head.
It took me a while to get used to it, and I definitely had some razor burn for a few days. It’s very important to learn the right way to shave your naughty bits, or else those red bumps will have you itching and dancing the jitterbug instead of enjoying your hairlessness. My process of figuring out the proper method was a long one; it took a few months. Hopefully, yours will be less complicated, and I’m going to give you some tips to help you out.
Firstly, water is your friend. Lots of it. NEVER try to shave dry… you wouldn’t do it to your legs, why would you treat your precious vulva that way? I find that it’s best to do my shaving at the end of a bath or shower, when all the hair follicles have soaked up the most water and are a little softened. Next, uses LOTS of shaving cream. Keep reapplying as you go. If you think you might need more, you do. I like the shaving gel myself, but as long as you’re lathered up, you should be good to go. Now that you’re finally ready to put metal to petal, use a NEW razor blade, not the one that’s been sitting there since the last time you had to wear a skirt. Lastly, it’s go time. Shave WITH the grain. This can be kind of tricky, because I know my hair down there grows in different directions. Take a look at which ways it might go, and try to go with it, even if you have to go a few different ways. Start slowly, and from the sides, and work your way in. It took me a few times before I decided to go all the way down to the lips; you only need to shave off as much as you want to. Do it for yourself, and what you look like; don’t let someone else or the TV tell you how hairless to go.
Now that you have joined the ranks of the bald vulvas, make sure you moisturize. I like to use a fragrance free, sensitive skin lotion, just to keep it happy, health, soft, and most importantly, razor burn free. Some of my friends like you use a powder, baby or otherwise. The choice is up to you. Try out a couple of things, and see what works best for you, and go with it.
How often you’ll have to shave (if you decide to keep it up) depends on the length you go with, how fast your hair grows, how much free time you have and a few other things. I would love to shave twice a week or so; unfortunately, I don’t always have as much time I need. I know some people that shave every time they hop in the tub, and others only for special occasion. Some people try it and hate it, other like me have converted to it. It has many benefits for me personally; I love the feeling, easier to wear swim suits, and I can now buy mesh underwear without worrying about how it’ll look with my hair. It’s certainly a personal choice, and only to be done for yourself, but if you decide to try it, I wish you the best of luck, and hope my advice helps you out!
