Personal hygiene is extremely important to ensure you have a clean and healthy body. By taking care of your pubic hair, you can avoid and prevent discomfort, bacteria and germs in the genital area.
Steps
Method 1 of 2: Keep Pubic Hair Clean
Step 1. Wash them using warm water
Soaps or perfumes can inflame or irritate the genital area. The pubic area has a specific pH and some soaps may alter it.
- Use a cleanser with a specific pH for intimate areas when you wash your hair if you still want to use a product. You can find this type of detergent at pharmacies without the need for a prescription; possibly, ask the pharmacist.
- Don't use deodorants, talcum powder, shampoos, or scented wipes; you may be tempted to use them especially if the pubic region gives off an unpleasant odor.
Step 2. Rinse the genital area with a damp towel or paper tissue
After using the bathroom, you should rinse the pubic area this way to keep it clean.
It is very important to regularly rinse the groin area after completing the physiological functions, to avoid the spread of bacteria. Hair in particular is a favorable environment for the proliferation of germs
Step 3. Keep the area dry
Moisture can cause irritation, while carefully dry skin prevents discomfort and the risk of bacterial growth.
- Thoroughly dry pubic hair after showering before putting on clothing.
- Wear comfortable underwear and avoid nylon, synthetic, or tight fabrics as they can retain moisture. This is especially important in hot weather and you tend to sweat easily.
Step 4. Cut them
If the fluff is too thick, it can trap germs or other dirt. By trimming the hair to a manageable level, you can instead keep the area clean with less effort.
You may feel ashamed or embarrassed if you have a lot of pubic hair. However, their presence is a sign of sexual maturity and the fact that they are very thick has no negative connotations. Keeping them clean and tidy is an important task in ensuring your personal hygiene and health
Method 2 of 2: Remove Pubic Hair
Step 1. Shave them carefully
If you decide to remove them, shaving is a less painful procedure than waxing - and it is also the cheapest option. To ensure a comfortable shave:
- Trim the hair before shaving it completely. Use a pair of scissors to shorten them as much as possible; by doing so, you prevent them from getting caught in the razor and pulling on the skin.
- Choose a specific razor for this area. Most of these tools are effective, but when you decide to shave a delicate and hard-to-reach area, like the one between the buttocks, a specific razor can save you nicks or cuts. For example, some models are equipped with a blade to shorten the hair or are covered with an emollient lotion.
- Take a bath or shower before shaving to open pores and soften stubborn hair. the pubic ones are thicker than the hair.
- Use shaving cream to protect your skin during the procedure. However, be careful not to smear the product on your genitals, as it may cause irritation and inflammation.
- Apply aloe vera gel or baby oil after you finish shaving. Do not use moisturizers that are scented or contain chemicals.
Step 2. Get a wax
You can remove pubic hair with a wax depilation at a beauty salon or at home; however, remember that this is a painful method. To ease the pain, take an aspirin or ibuprofen half an hour before hair removal. To ensure comfortable hair removal:
- Wait until the hairs are at least an inch long before plucking them with wax; in this way the product grips close to the follicle and removal is easier.
- Strictly follow the instructions on the packaging of the home hair removal kit. Some products come with a cup or glass that contains the wax that you need to heat and apply, while others come in the form of ready-to-use strips.
- Check the temperature of the hot wax before applying it to the pubic region; a burn in these areas is very painful. Check the temperature by applying a drop of wax to the inside of the wrist. The substance needs to be hot enough to smear it on your skin, but not hot enough to burn you.
- Wear cotton underwear and clothing after waxing to allow your skin to breathe and avoid irritation.
Step 3. Consider removing certain parts of your pubic hair
There are different styles and "hairstyles" for the hair of the intimate area. Here are the most common ones:
- Thin strip: the hair is removed so that only a thin vertical strip remains just above the genitals. The width of the strip is a matter of personal taste.
- Bikini: all hairs that would be visible when wearing a bikini bottom are removed.
- Brazilian waxing: all hairs are removed.
