If the advantages are mainly related to aesthetic reasons and psycho-physical well-being, it is good to know that the disadvantages of total groin hair removal mainly concern health risks:
- Increase in infections : pubic hair, in fact, acts as a real barrier against external bacteria thus preventing them from coming into contact with the vagina, causing unpleasant infections.
- It requires regularity : whatever method is chosen, you must remember to be constant and shave very frequently.
- Bacteria proliferation : the feeling of cleanliness, in fact, is only visual and mental. The hair, in fact, protects the vagina and keeping them is essential to respect a natural balance.
- Attention to the method : the methods of hair removal of the intimate area are different, but if they are not chosen carefully or if they are done without care, there is a risk of various annoyances such as folliculitis, infections or cuts that could become infected, increasing the probability of contracting genital herpes and papilloma virus .
The best methods
What are the best methods of total groin hair removal
The classics are always valid, but to understand which one is right for you better focus on each one individually:
- Waxing : to be done at home or by expert hands, waxing allows you to remove all hair but by acting on a particularly delicate area it could cause micro trauma to the skin. In this case, our advice is to use a sugar wax which in addition to being more delicate also slows down regrowth.
- Razor : always demonized, actually the razor respects the skin (especially if used together with an ad hoc cream) l. The only problem is that, by cutting the hair cleanly, it will make its growth more annoying and itchy.
- Depilatory cream : it is a chemical formulation that suffocates the hair at the root making it fall out but, by not extirpating the bulb, the hair removal takes very little time. It can also be used without problems in the intimate area, but pay attention to the areas to be treated .
- Laser or pulsed light: both are versions of total and definitive hair removal. To be carried out at a specialized center, being an irreversible and expensive method, it is better to evaluate the matter in the best possible way and to discuss with a specialist to ensure the success of the treatment.
Do it yourself, how to do
Total intimate hair removal can be done without problems even with the do-it-yourself and, to do it, it is better to opt for one method of hair removal rather than another.
- Razor , is the do-it-yourself method par excellence. If you choose to use it also for total groin hair removal it is important not to forget a shaving gel and, while doing it, pay close attention to the areas. Always remember to change the blade and carefully remove all hair during the treatment.
- Waxing : if you are familiar with hot wax you can also make it yourself in the pubic area. If you are a beginner, on the other hand, prefer cold waxes, those already ready on the strips, and try to keep the skin taut during the tearing: less pain and better results.
- Cream : use it without fear, but avoid the most delicate and intimate areas.
