Like childbirth - pubic hair removal can sometimes be excruciating but usually the results can be well worth the effort
By HairstyleQuestions.com | October 13, 2007
Many people of all ethnicities ages and backgrounds remove pubic hair. Modern day religious sects, like Hindus and Muslims, shave to signify purity when observing fitrah. While purity may not be uppermost in the minds of Hollywood stars, ugly hairy chests are definitely a thing of the past. Hairy backs that resemble a bear on the loose, are also not regarded as particularly cool. Smooth skin is very much in vogue today. You have only to look at Brad Pitt’s arms to see that the bare look is a must. Some may wonder whether the bare look continues below his waist - only Angelina Jolie knows for sure. Many people of all ages, also remove their pubic hair because it is easier to keep the skin clean and odor free. Odor causing bacteria can hide in hair growth which can be a great turn off.
Methods of hair removal and shaving
The oldest method of removing unwanted hair is wet shaving. Even today this means scraping the top layer of skin away with the shaved hairs. The disadvantage in doing it this way is that the blade cuts the tops off the skin surrounding the hair follicle and causes the telltale rash and lumps and bumps. Cutting hair this way can also produce very painful ingrown hairs and cause an unsightly and painful skin infection.
Wet shaving can also cause the skin to swell and wrinkle as you will have seen if you stay in the bath or swimming pool too long. This makes it impossible for the shaver blades to cut as far down the hair shaft as possible. When the skin dries out, the follicle pulls back and exposes a length of unshaved hair shaft. So you never get a smooth shave and have to shave more often.
Depilatory cremes are mostly made of calcium thiogycolate, which is very caustic to the skin. It works only on the “vellus” softer, peach fuzz type of hair, but not on the thick curly “terminal” hair in the pubic area and under the armpits. This chemical raises the PH balance of the skin and attacks the protein in the hair structure to dissolve it. It can also attack and damage the skin and cause allergic reactions, acne, discoloration and skin irritation. You would be ill advised to use this on sensitive skin around your bikini area. It is also a poisonous chemical when ingested and not the best thing to have round the house if there are children. The terrible smell of the active ingredients, is also a very unpleasant reality and not calculated to enhance any romance. Added to this is the fact that hair re growth occurs in just 2 to 5 days
Epilators look similar to shavers but they just trap and pull out the hairs by the roots. Very painful! Annoyingly they also tend to miss a few hairs which means you have to repeat the process or you might have to get out a trimmer to mow down those elusive hairs. Not all hair types are suitable for removing with an epilator. Epilators cost about the same as electric shavers but do not manage to achieve the same even results
Waxing either at home or having it done professionally is a good alternative but as with epilators, the pain of ripping out the hair by its roots and possible skin irritation does not make it a great alternative. The repeat visits to the beauty salon too, can also be a great cost disadvantage and time consuming.
Laser hair removal would perhaps be the ultimate answer for unwanted hair growth were it not for the cost in the $1000’s depending on how many hairs need to be zapped. There is also the need to make multiple appointments to treat primary, secondary and tertiary hair growth and the process can be about as enjoyable as having little needles pricking the skin. Once again not all types of hair will respond to laser treatment. Laser treatment can also cause PERMANENT discoloration or hyper pigmentation of the skin which is something that laser hair removal salons will only tell you in the small print, which nobody reads.
Electric shavers and razors are the most frequently used for hair removal and they are the most cost effective and safest. There are two basic types of shaver. A reciprocating shaver has the blades vibrating from side to side underneath a foil or cutter blades. The other type is a rotary type in which a circular blade or blades revolve underneath the foil(s). Both variations come in rechargeable or disposable battery form with the rechargeable version being an obvious better choice. However these ordinary face shavers are not meant for sensitive skin and can cause razor burn and rash. They have long slots or aggressively large holes in the foil to get at the hairs, but the downside is that it lets the blades get too close to the skin and shaver burn results.

Tips and hints for using the Hair eRazor™ Personal Shaver
Always shave before washing and ensure the skin is completely dry and free from perspiration. When wet the skin swells and the hair shaft gets covered. Once the skin dries out and contracts, the hair reappears. This is why wet shaving cannot produce the smoothness that most people desire.
Some use baby powder or cornstarch on the area to be shaved. This will dry the skin and provide a lubricant between your skin and the razor as well as keeping the skin dry. Unfortunately these powders can blunt the blades of the shaver as well as cause very uncomfortable internal yeast infections in the female intimate areas. We recommend another product that works extremely well by softening the hair, namely a silicone based shaving lubricant called
SINSATION™
