Thread: safe way of pubic hair hair removal?

There are many and various ways of removing hair and some can damage your skin permanently. Like 95 % of all adults (according to Gillette) I do the hair removal thing both professionally as well as personally. If you use the correct shaver and it must be a personal shaver with a specially designed foil this is the least expensive and most effective way of getting smooth skin. Laser can burn and discolor the skin permanently and multiple EXPENSIVE procedures are needed. Epilators damage the skin by ripping out the hair roots and exposing the damage hair follicle to bacteria which can get infected and may cause scarring. Epilators cannot remove all the hair at one pass either as they often miss some. The cremes are a caustic preparation, normally calcium or potassium thiogylcolate which destroys the proteins in the hair follicle and smell really bad. They can also damage and discolor the skin permanently and should not be used by the fair skinned or at "certain times of the month".

There are abrasive powders and pads which allow you to "sandpaper" your hair away. Sadly it also removes your skin and not in a good "exfoliating" way.

I am currently looking into this. I just heard about Sugaring. It is supposed to hurt a lot less than waxing. It's a sugary paste that is actually edible. Not that you would eat it, but because you can eat it it means that it's safe for your body. I'm going to go have a brazilian done with the sugaring technique. I'll let you know how it goes!

yes you can, but please be careful and use it on your arm or in an inconspicuous spot to make sure you aren't allergic to it. I am planning on using veet tonight for the first night because my pubic hair is so long that it shows out of my underwear and I just trimmed a week ago. It is embarrassing!!!

This post was towards anybody mentioning the safety of Veet for use of pubic hair removal

Ok, Nevermind on Veet, it just burns through your skin. I shaved my pubic hair for the first time last night, and I must tell you, Veet was painful as it started burning through my skin. Please use a razor, but please exercise caution when you shave, go with the grain of the hair to get the longer stuff then slowly shave against the grain. You may get timy cuts but the don't really hurt

OOoo, i was gonna warn you about Veet and stay away from Nair also.. Once you start shaving on a regular basis you can go against the grain right off, shave every three days..

Oh and look into getting a venus razor, it's worth it..

I love Venus, I have a Venus Divine even though it has three blades, the baldes don't need to be changed often. I used veet for a bit, but it didn't get all of it and left a mm of hair everywhere, then it started burning through my skin, I said oh no and shaved using my razor, so now i have some burn spots but they are small scabs, they aren't as bad as when I burned my leg.

i have a venus embrace razor, prolly close to the same thing..
