Shaving *down there* (TMI)

I think i`ll practice first on my legs and get the hang of it first lol! I have a friend who worked at a salon doing nails and another girl there taught her how to wax and she does her own. i`ll get some pointers off her! thanks elmo.

Ooh beautyjunkie be careful! I`ve heard of horrible accidents from people waxing themselves down there! Particularly if you haven`t used hot wax before…! Just be careful ok!
For exfoliating I use an exfoliating cloth I bought from my beauty salon, and just use it with shower gel. For moisturising I use the Mancine tea tree oil lotion at first, then I switch to vaseline aloe vera moisturiser after a couple of weeks…

Soo, I`ve never waxed down there but am thinking of doing it myself with how wax (maybe just my bikini line to start with) and then hopefully will be game enough to go to a salon for a full one!
What exfoliants and moisturisers do u guys use down there?

hahahahahhaha, that`s great FB. i bet that kid copped more than it bargained for and will probably not work in the beauty industry. hehehehehehehe, thanks for giving me a giggle.

I`m a waxing addict – I have a lovely irish girl who does it for me at a local spa, and she`s so much fun I forget that she`s poking around down there!! However, once I was laying on the table in a very un-dignified pose, when she looked under the table and screeched “”GET OUT FROM UNDER THERE!!!”” Turns out the spa owners 8yr old girl was hiding under the table!!!!!!!!

As everyone has said, I can`t stress the importance of exfoliation! I used to have a lot of problems with my skin down there, both before and after waxing – I would get ALOT of ingrowns that would turn into alwful lumps, and it was pretty nasty. So I decided to treat the skin down there just as I would the skin on my face, so now I have a beauty regime for my face and one for down there! I start with a quick exfoliation with a body brush, then hop in the shower and exfoliate AGAIN with an exfoliating body scrub, then apply either baby oil, body butter or baby powder.

Hmm, I`ve always wanted to get a wax, I`m not scared of the pain factor as I have 7 piercings and wax my own bikini line (Satin Smooth wax strips – work perfectly). I`m just wayy to embarassed!
As everyone`s already mentioned, exfoliate, use a cream, moisturise after and make sure your razor is sharp and clean.

just make sure you exfoliate before hand and afterwards then moisturise, NEVER just shave with nothing the surface must be moist, i do it in the shower the warm water and body wash makes it easy to shave, then make sure ou exfoliate & moisturise

SHAVING TIP: Apply a shaving foam to the area and shave in the SAME direction the hair grows to prevent ingrown hairs.
WAXING TIP: Always ensure you exfoliate the area two days after your treatment to ensure it stays smooth and pain free.

i`ve shaved down there. it doesn`t hurt but growing back is annoying. i think i will try waxing one day but really scared of the pain! and embarassed because i look so young :S

I wouldn`t shave down there coz you will end up very itchy and with lots of in-grown hairs.. not hot.. go for a wax instead..
