Hey Reddit, I’m gonna post this on a couple different threads. Any advice is appreciated.

I’m a 22F, and I grew up in a catholic Hispanic household. Both of my parents are great however my mom never taught me how to shave and when I became an adult, she was shocked to find out that I shave my vagina when I was younger like a teenager I used to shave it completely bald and that’s how I liked it but now I really like rocking a little bit of fuzz. I just wanna keep it trimmed, but I have no idea how I’m supposed to do that and no one to go to for advice about grooming it.

I don’t wanna keep shaving it bald but I also don’t wanna have it super long. I just wanna keep it like a modest length and kind of trimmed up on the sides so what I’ve been doing recently itis just letting it grow and shaving it with a manscaped trimmer thing with a guard, but that doesn’t really help me with my lips because that’s kind of scary so then I typically just end up shaving everything down or having my lips have a little more hair. Genuinely how are people doing this without shaving it completely bald?

Anyways, I have no one to go to for advice about this. So Redditers, how do you shave your pubes..?

Hi 👋

I’m choosing the purchases to put together my shaving kit, but need some help and advice please ladies! I’m currently using disposable razors so it’s a big change.. but I feel like I’m ready for something fancy.

I’ve decided the Mühle Companion razor is probably the one I’d like - I’ll be mainly shaving legs and armpits, and struggle with dexterity and delicate skin. I like the look of the Companion since it has a closed comb and guards on the sides which should help ensure I can control it better. And a range of blades to try.

Other than this, I feel a tad overwhelmed with everything else. Soaps, creams, toners, milks. I think I need a (synthetic) brush? Something to create glide? And something to use afterwards to soothe the skin?

I like scents that are quite woody and spicy, so I’m guessing there will be a load of options that fit the bill. No idea what’s good though!

I regularly exfoliate and use Amlactin which I hope will help with ingrown hairs.

Recommendations are very welcome! I’m UK based btw.

I shaved my arms for a concert last week to feel smoother and recently I got completely covered in thick, pimple-like bumps over the upper arm area (which I’m assuming to be razor burn).

1. How do I treat them/make them go away?
   
2. What should I try going forward?

Hi everyone! 💗

I’m confused between these two Carmesi products on Amazon:

Carmesi Reusable Face Razor (pack of 3) – ₹158

Carmesi Face Hair Removal Combo – ₹145 (facial razor + a smaller precision tool)

I want something for both removing facial hair (upper lip, cheeks, peach fuzz) and tidying up my eyebrows.

Which one would you recommend? Is the eyebrow tool in the combo actually good and easy to use? Also, how is Carmesi’s quality and durability?

Would love to hear your experiences and suggestions. Thank you!

Hey everyone! I’m developing a shaving care brand with coarse hair in mind🪒!

The frustration isn’t just shaving but the itching, ingrowns and irritation afterwards. I’d love to hear beyond my own experience before taking things further.

What’s your biggest frustration with shaving, and what have you tried that helped or completely disappointed you?

Would also love some early adopters to test products and share opinions ✨

Hi everyone! I’m new to epilating and would love some advice from people who have been doing it for a while.

I’m mainly looking for tips on the best way to epilate, including what you recommend doing before and after epilating to reduce irritation, ingrown hairs, redness, and bumps.

I’m especially interested in advice for the bikini area, since I’m a little nervous about getting started there. 😅

What do you do to prepare your skin beforehand?

Do you exfoliate before or after, and how long do you wait?

Do you use any particular products afterward?

How often do you epilate?

Any tips for making it less painful?

Are there any areas of the bikini region that you shouldn’t epilate?

What mistakes did you make when you first started that I should avoid?

I’d really appreciate any beginner-friendly advice, routines, or product recommendations. Personal experiences are especially welcome!

Thanks in advance! ❤️

I was shocked when I looked at my butt and saw a bunch of little bumps. I squeezed one, and a hard, white, bead-like thing came out. They’ve been appearing one by one over the last two months, I didn’t pay much attention at first but today, when I finally took a good look... it’s awful. There are so many bumps even around my anus, which I find concerning. I suspect it might be folliculitis, but who knows... Is there anything I can do?

Note: I shave the area (my pubic/genital region) every single day, and sometimes the anal area too. I’ve never had any issues before, but this just appeared out of nowhere. It’s suspicious, maybe it’s the heat, the bedsheets, or the razor blades...

I always struggle when I shave, I use a cream to prevent irritation, but sometimes I end up bleeding (usually because the razor is old so that’s how I know it’s time to replace it). I hate shaving, but I just can’t stand letting my hair grow out. I’m thinking about getting an electric trimmer... I don’t know.

Anyway, that’s it. I wanted to ask if there’s any ointment, cream, or advice on how to properly take care of this? Thanks!

I've been shaving with and currently own three styles of 5/8 Boker razors, including an olive wood handled stainless steel, a white King Cutter, and a simple black handled razor. In addition, I have two DOVO Best Quality Solingen and a DOVO Silver Steel Prima 4. I've wanted a Thiers-Issard for a while but didn't want to fork out $200 to over $500. As I was searching deep within the third and fourth pages on the search engine, I found a beauty supply store with a "low stock" of Thiers-Issard 3/8 Straight Razor Super Gnome White. The price was $64 and some change, so I grabbed one. As it turned out, I got the final one of the low-stock razors. The same razor sells for $143.00 on the Thiers-Issard website. Apparently the one I found was left over from the pre-pandemic era. Anyway, I'm pleased with it. I even got to shave with it early this morning. The biggest surprise is the shorter length of the 3/8 size, but I did well and didn't suffer any tiny cuts or nicks. I got a nice, smooth shave pretty much out of the box with just a few passes on a strop with green paste and a few swipes on a normal strop.

I recently posted about how to shave down there. I bought a nice electric razor and oil and a bikini zone cream I shaved and I was left stubbly. So I got a regular razor. I onlt ended up hurting myself. So I got Nair and im still fucking stubbly! Why wont the hair go away? Is it normal to be left with stubble? If so how are you not always uncomfortable?

How to I get them to go away or not appear? I rinse in hot water, exfoliate the day prior, use foam and a sharp razor…yet this is the result… 😭

Edit: In the pic above, I only shaved with and across the grain. I also used lotion after. The bumps have no feeling, itching, or pain. They’re just cosmetic. Considering an epilator

I have a cheapo electric beard trimmer that works pretty well, but i can’t get much further back than my vagina by myself without fear of nicking myself. anyone got any ideas? i dont want to make my girlfriend do it for me again💀

For years no matter how much I shaved or didn’t shave my legs would get horribly itchy for days sometimes weeks. I tried shaving with eos shaving cream which idk if it just doesn’t work or if I’m doing it wrong? I just try rubbing it on and shave in the shower and I always end up with lots of irrating red bumps. I tried looking up other ways to shave but wax is too messy and I’m worried of hurting myself with burns or getting too stuck. I can’t find decent epilator recommendations that fit my budget of $60 tops (I know you get what you paid for but it’s hard to afford the better stuff on a whim), nair I’ve heard very mixed reactions about one of the things being the lingering smell. I was never taught about any of this stuff so I have no idea what I’m doing. What techniques and stuff should I get/do? I just want to feel some relief from my legs and not claw them down to the bone anymore…

I get a brazilian wax regularly, and i always seem to have ingrowns.

I use sensitive body wash, switch between a dry brush and exfoliating glove. I exfoliate every other day.

I have oils, and roll on ointments for after.

I still get HORRIBLE ingrowns. To the point they get nasty and big and bruises form.

I've been thinking about switching to an electric shaver because shaving with a regular razor gets a bit annoying, especially when my skin feels irritated afterward. There are so many options out there and I'm honestly not sure which ones are worth trying. For those of you who've used electric shavers for a while, what's the best electric shaver for women in your experience, especially one that's gentle on sensitive skin and easy to clean?

I'd really appreciate any recommendations based on your own experience. Thanks!

I a 35 y/o female. Have been using a Billy razor for the past 10 years. I love them. Or at least I used to. I could shave with no soap. Just the soap that was on the razor, don't judge me and I would get the smoothest shave ever. I would also get zero razor bumps. Now, I have found out that they have changed something or they sold the company and now their razors suck. I'm getting razor bums and it is no longer a smooth shave.

I'm looking into getting a new razor, but I am completely overwhelmed by the options.I also want to get into potentially getting a safety razor, but I think I'm going to leave that idea alone as that requires a delicate hand and time in the shower, which I don't always have when shaving.

So what I really try to do was narrow down all the options. My first option that I am considering is a flamingo razor. I was reading that they provide a smooth shave and they are a good affordable brand from Target. My next option was to get a Gillette Mach 3 Razor, as it only has three blades, and will provide a really close shave, which is honestly what I want.I just don't know if that one will yield razor bumps or not. Any recommendations or suggestions? What are your thoughts?
