Regardless of beauty standards and what it was in the past, pubic hair can tell a story about self-love. So make sure it's something personal and genuine. Not sure you want permanent hair removal? Whether you just want to groom it, wax it, shave it or let it grow naturally, taking care of your pubic hair is very important! Because there is a risk of infection and irritation when using chemical substicks. In any case, we have 7 tips for you!

Beware of depilatory creams

Chemical epilation is a convenient and easy-to-use method, but it can cause allergic reactions and quite serious irritations, which makes it unsuitable if you have sensitive skin. Before using such a cream, do a test on a smaller area of the skin. And avoid using chemicals near the vagina at all costs!

Underwear is important

Yes, especially since "sexy" lingerie is mostly made of synthetic materials. Tight elastic bands are not good for your intimate area either. Why? Because the skin can't breathe, which means there's a risk of irritation or ingrown hairs, especially when wearing a synthetic material after waxing your groin. The solution is to choose 100% cotton underwear that allows the skin to breathe and heal.

Use only 100% organic cotton menstrual products

Speaking of cotton, the same applies to menstrual products - but organic cotton. While conventional products (made from a cocktail of chemicals and synthetic fibers) cause a host of problems (from hormonal imbalances to irritation and allergies), organic cotton products prevent infections and keep bacteria in balance to let's not talk about hormones anymore.

Avoid perfumed products

Scented moisturizers are never a good idea after pubic hair removal! Because they are full of chemicals that can seriously irritate sensitive skin. And as much as you love that body lotion, it's also loaded with fragrances—and therefore not a good option for your vulva and vagina.
And yes, scented gels or soaps also fall into the same category. Choose the natural versions, without fragrance and chemicals.

Change razor blades regularly

Make sure you have clean razors and razors handy when you're going to remove pubic hair. Prepare the area and use a new blade. The old ones may be ineffective and give you a rash. Moreover, you can risk having ingrown hairs under the skin.

Avoid using the razor on dry skin

We all have an emergency - and we don't take the time to prepare. But this is a bad practice for your skin. You may wake up with irritation from using a razor on dry skin. Best tip: make time for grooming, make it a ritual, and choose a time when the pores are open and the skin is softer (for example after the shower). Always use a foam so that the blade glides better and avoid the risk of cuts or irritation.

If you let it grow

Then you have nothing to do! Pubic hair grows to a short length, so don't worry, you won't have long hair down there! Sure, you can try Brazilian waxing, you can cut it short if you want, or shape it, as long as you use special tools, a trimmer, or barber scissors, and make sure you disinfect them before and after every use. It is not recommended to use these tools except in the pubic area, and above all, do not use them together with other people, to prevent infections.

Instead of concluding, our advice is this: no one should tell you what to do with your own body - including your private area and how you wear (or don't) your pubic hair! It's your choice if you remove it, wax it, give it a shape or let it grow naturally!
