Aesthetically their swimmer for shave to pubes

Waxing can sting a bit while it's being done, but the last longer than with shaving or depilatories. Also, shaving makes the hairs come back thicker and darker.

Before using a depilatory on pubic hair, read product labels to find one that says it's safe to use on the bikini area. I am 13 years old and I am finding that my pubic hair is a bit embarrassing. Just be sure to use shaving cream and a sharp razor.

A cloth strip is then applied and quickly pulled off, taking the hair root with it. The hair that shows when you wear a bathing suit is what hair-removal products politely call the "bikini area. You can shave it.

It takes longer for the hair to grow back because the hair is removed at the root, below the level of the skin. With waxing, a sticky wax is spread on the area of skin where the unwanted hair is growing. You can buy home waxing kits in drugstores and beauty supply stores, but if you've never had waxing done before it's best to visit a salon so you can see how it's done.

If you want to avoid the stubbly look you can get from shaving, you can use depilatories or wax. A depilatory is a cream or liquid that removes hair from the skin's surface.

The good news about shaving is that it doesn't actually make hair thicker or darker, it just looks that way. But some people have an allergic reaction to the chemicals in the depilatory, which may cause a rash or redness. Depilatories work quickly, are available at drugstores and grocery stores, and are painless.
