Shaving

[Guest carly54]

I want the only place there is hair to be my head. I am 14 so I can't drive to get my own razors though. Any advice? I also have a question, why do people shave their pubic hair? Any advice for that? Any information would be great.

HI Carly

whats about amazon or online shops (hm 14 years old, that could be hard to buy something online), is this so difficult to buy razors where u live. i can go outside and there are more than 10 shops where i can by them. you are mtf so why not asking your dad to buy some - lets say for your fuzz (hope thats the right word) that young boys (sorry for that) have, is that an option?

why do people shave their pubic hair, good question. i was 15 when i started shaving me there because i don't like it, in my view it looks so - how to say that *bäh*. as i know many of my friend are shaving or trimming their hair. some for a smooth feeling like me, other for hygienic reasons or that their genitalia looks bigger. you see there are many different reasons for people to shave their pubic hair.

i hope this helps a bit

Hey girls - advice from an older gal here. Shaving your private areas seems a good idea at first (probably because it makes most of us feel sexy and feminine for some reason - bikini line and other real or imagined effects).

But the stubble is both unfeminine and terribly itchy a day or two later. I suggest doing what most natal females do when things get too... well... bushy 'down there'. Trim the hair a bit, just thin it down with a razor comb or scissors (I don't need to mention to be careful - yikes). Leave hair down there - girls have hair down there, they just keep it neater.

Ah, a neatly trimed... area... will help your panties fit and really looks good.

Just an idea.

As to razor accessibility for you very young, ask your dad. Also you may want to rummage around in drawer for any extra disposable razors. Don't use someone elses as it is unhygenic - and the darn thing is probably as dull as a brick if it has been used.

Hi Carly, I would suggest waiting until you just can't stand the hair any more. After the first time you shave your hair will start growing back thicker and faster.

As far as buying the razors if there is a convenience store near your school you can buy shave cream and razors there. Just know that ones you start it will be uncomfortable to be in Gym class or anywhere else that requires wearing shorts. If you are ok with smooth skin and the kids noticing it than go for it. As far as pubic hair goes as was already noted there are several reasons including just wanting to.

[Guest carly54]

Thanks for the responses guys. The closest store to me is a mile and a half away so having a reason to go that far out of my way is a problem.

[Guest Frank67]

sorry for the stupid question carly, but why is that a problem to go for walk to the store, why is that so far out of your way?

[Guest April63]

I cant' say more than what has already been said. Ask your dad, or walk to the store. Maybe you can get some from a few friends. I tried shaving my legs, but then I decided to stop. It felt like it was just a waste of time and razor blades. So I hope you know what you're getting yourself into.

america. i don't live there, but from what i've picked up it seems they have to drive.

[Guest Frank67]

@silverpetals

eh, sometimes i visit my relatives in america, and i know they like to drive all the time, 500m by foot - no way, but what is wrong to walk?

if i like i go for walk to my parents or friends and this is about 5km or 3,1 miles and carly is so young she can go if she want, but i don't think that this is the problem.

hm??

[Guest April63]

Europe was made for walking, America was made for driving. But there's normally public transportation, such as buses or trains.

What exactly do you mean by "trim" it? Do you mean basically wait until it feels too long and cut it rather short with scissors? If this is TMI, just ignore it.

Thanks,

Emily

[Guest April63]

Yeah trim it with scissors. An electric trimmer is really the way to go, but I don't have one. They cost around 50 dollars I think.

April

would this mean basically as close as you can or just a little every now and then?

Sorry im asking so many questions, im just not exactly sure what you mean.

Thanks,

Emily

[Guest April63]

There's no set in stone way to do it. So just try it someway, and if you like it, keep it up. If you don't, try something different or just don't do it.

[Guest Dutchie]

In case you are wondering, yes, there are people making a form of art with the shaving and trimming or pubic areas.

From an artistic point of view, some were actually very nice. Others were just plain funny. Anyway, you get the idea.

As April already said, you can cut/trim/shave it the way you want it.

[Guest Elizabeth K]

Trim it? Well, its hard to find, but Ebay shops usually have them, a razor comb. They cost $1 (plus a huge amount of postage so get a bunch at the same time). They are basically a plastic double sided comb with an old fashioned razor blade inside. I suspect they were originally made for people who were too cheap to go to the hair care places for a trim between haircuts (guys mainly). They are great for -uh - private trims. They also work great for reducing hair on arms and legs if you aren't completely shaving those areas (hiding the shaving) but want to clean up a bit.

Be careful as they will take off a bit more than you may want (do not try to thin eyebrows for example).

Hope this helps

[Guest Frank67]

as Elizabeth wrote be careful.

Don't remove your pubic hair completely when you start shaving it, your skin needs some time to get used to it. It can be very itchy. For the first time you can use a pair of scissors to shorten it, and after a while try to shave it, but if you have a sensitive skin and there are little red pimples please stop for a while.

1. never shave without shaving foam in this region you should use creams for females for your skin typ

2. shorten your hair with the scissors and your pubic hair should be as short as possible

3 to avoid pimples take a shower first or just wash this region with warm water and soap

4. you can try it with wet or dry hair, i prefer moist hair

5. use a lot of shaving cream

6. try to straighten the skin with one hand, and gently shave it with the other hand

7. move the razor with the direction of your hair, never against it

8. after you are ready, wash that region again with warm water, no soap!!

9. for the aftercare use a lotion with aloe vera or baby oil

10. don't buy the cheapest razors, the best thing is to buy razors for women if you can

hm, i hope i have forgotten nothing and this helps

you can give your pubic hair any form you want to, a little triangle, a heart (hihi) or a little vertical line

good luck

sorry for the stupid question carly, but why is that a problem to go for walk to the store, why is that so far out of your way?

I'm American but have lived in Europe before. For us, 1.5 miles isn't often considered "walking distance". It's not just about being lazy either. For example, in my neighborhood, it isn't safe to walk up to the grocery store. There's no sidewalk and the road leading up to it is narrow and curvy. I also find that Americans are often not looking out for pedestrians and cyclists because they don't expect so see any. When I lived in Berlin, drivers always seemed to be courteous of cyclists and pedestrians.

Yeah...so depending on where you live, sometimes driving is more of a safety thing than a lazy thing.

Hi Emily,

[Guest Kelly Ann]

Hello again Emily,

The electrics are NOT the big jobs that you use on you hean...I have two different ones and theyre re-chargable with all sorts of different heads that twist on and off. This is the way to go...ingrown hairs are such a bummer...when you shave it off and the hair grows in instead of out...and they can get infected too.Double the yeow thanks.The heads that came with mine all allow to cut from really close to about 3/4" and it's good enough...for me...plus you only have to trim once a month or so...using a razor is a daily proposition with lots of drawbacks...nicks especially are difficult to stop and put 'blood spots' in ahem...hard to explain places. Keep smiling girl...it'll catch on, Kelly Ann

[Guest Frank67]

Hi all

forget this question, as I wrote it is a stupid one!

I'm not meaning that someone is lazy and you are right driving can be safer than walking. I visited so much place and towns is America, up the east coast (I was 24, 7 weeks only for me, yeah), up and down the west coast and a little bit between (2 years ago with my brother) and all I can say it is possible to walk there (just visited the bigger cities and/or points of interest), for example in picayune where some of my relatives are living there are no sidewalks, that's right. In my opinion Americans are the better drivers, hm why - i never heard a horn if I made a mistake. I think the drivers are more calmer and in picayune when I went to the mall (yes - on my own feet hihi) every second driver asked me if he/she could help me. I walked the Las Vegas Boulevard (7,4 miles 2 times ) and this is a thing i will never do again *ouch my feet*.

But we should stop now, it's not our topic it's Carly's and for this reason i wrote nothing about this the last days.

[Guest Emily1]

nicks especially are difficult to stop and put 'blood spots' in ahem...hard to explain places.

Just say your having your period, lols. that would be rather funny
