How to Shave the Pubic Area

Shaving the pubic area is merely done by choice. Some people want a clean shave for the sake of hygiene or comfort; while others prefer trimming than shaving to at least protect the surfaces of their private parts. Pubic shaving is quite a challenging thing to do, especially for beginners. Careful handling of the razor on the skin must be observed to avoid cuts or razor burns (red skin irritation). Here are some useful tips on how to properly shave the pubic area.

How to Properly Shave the Pubic Area

1. Produce the proper kind of products. Buy a razor blade that is of good quality. Remember that you are using it to handle your private part, so at least sacrifice a little. Purchase a shaving cream to go along with your shaving. Using soap is not helpful in promoting an easy glide.

2. Cut your pubic hair short. Use a sharp scissor with a blunt tip to prevent you from accidentally poking your skin. Gently pull your pubic hair taut and carefully clip on to the hair as short as possible. Trimming the pubic hair short provides an easy access for a clean shave -- you can clearly see what you are doing, preventing you from cutting yourself.

3. Go to the shower and soak your pubic hair with lukewarm water for a few minutes before proceeding. Pubic hairs are coarse and bushy, so it will help when you soak it up with warm water, to make the hair softer and finer for an easy shave.

4. Apply ample amounts of shaving cream on your pubic area. This will help soften the hair even more and helps in keeping the hair stand up for a cleaner shave. Also, shaving cream or gel protects you from having nicks, ingrown hairs, or razor burns, since it provides proper moisture that will enable you to glide easily on the surface without friction.

5. Begin shaving by pulling the hair taut with one hand, and then shave with your other hand. Now carefully shave upward, opposite to the direction of hair growth. Do not apply too much pressure when you shave. And rinse the razor after doing a couple of strokes to avoid hairs from accumulating on it and clogging it.

6. Continue to shave on the more sensitive areas. For males, carefully go on shaving on the shaft of the penis and around the testicles, in a smooth upward motion. For females, use one hand to roll the loose skin of the labia, and then carefully shave going up along its edges to remove tiny hairs. Observe extra precautions when shaving along these tender parts.

7. Rinse the pubic area carefully with warm water and double check your work to make sure that you haven’t missed any part of the surface. If you are satisfied with the outcome, dry the area with a clean towel and move on to the last step.

8. Apply some baby oil on the shaved area to keep it moisturized and protect it against skin irritation and itching.
