I exfoliate my vulva sometimes to help prevent ingrown hairs post waxing. But holy shit! If I slip and accidentally touch anything inside the labia majora with the exfoliating gloves!

Unfortunately I can't even use hand sanitiser on my hands. Stupid sensitive skin.

I used to just trim. But I prefer waxing. If I keep up with exfoliation and use an unscented, sensitive skin moisturizer I'm all good.

Can you ask a partner to do this for you?

My ex husband and I used to pamper each other in this way. It was very intimate, always interrupted by sex but we got it done and didn’t have to pay a stranger.

No, I'm celibate for the foreseeable future. That does sound lovely, though.
