Do you shave or wax your private (or not so) parts? And if so what are your reasons for doing so?

I use a bikini trimmer on my private parts, a disposable razor for my underarms and an epilator everywhere else. Why? because fuzz is attractive with dresses.

I've stopped shaving because, quite honestly, my body hair's an extension of the hair on my head. If I need a change I'll do it.

Sometimes I do trim to spice things up, but for the most part, it's out of boredom/sick of monotony.

I have shaved and let it grow out too. Either way my husband loves it. I find the shaved vag is sexy and I love to touch it more.

When in the West... wax.

when in the East... shave.

I have real oily skin, and I find that removing the hair helps prevent skin complications for me. Plus I find that it is cooler (temperature) with no hair as there is no air conditioning in the city.

Shaving for sure. I don't trust myself with wax, and I hate burns, but I love not feeling furry downstairs.

I shave sometimes, but not enough to let my girlfriend get used to it. Shaving is just so annoying and uncomfortable, and waxing is agony.

I use VEET shower, and use Vasaline to keep the delicate parts from getting burned. It works great and leaves me with 0 ingrown hairs. I do it for myself...it's good to cool off in the summer haha

I have the same issue. I always used to get irritation and clogged pores especially in my more sensitive areas because I have oily skin and it seemed like the hair trapped the oil down there. I've started shaving completely and I now have markedly less problems like that. I do get the occasional razor burn or ingrown hair, but as long as I shave carefully these usually aren't a huge problem.

I shave. I just like the feel of bare skin down there a lot better and it's what my boyfriend prefers.

Waxing is better because it is smoother and not as itchy when it grows in

I wax myself, and I prefer to go bare. Sure, the waxing process sucks, but it lasts so much longer than shaving or using chemicals.

In case you consider it again, I know people who have used Coochy Cream or Kama Sutra's Honey Dust and it gets rid any irritation. Exfoliating gets rid of those ingrowns

I get brazillian waxes. I did not like shaving because of the irritation and the hair grew back quickly because shaving just cuts the hair rather than pull the hair from the root. It grows back spikier. When I go for a brazillian, it is quick and thorough. Over time, hair grows slower and less. The reason my partner prefers brazillian is because he can get to more areas better during oral sex.

I shave when the mood strikes. I like to switch things up. Sometimes I have a full bush, sometimes a thinned triangle, and sometimes I shave everything. I tend to keep my labia shaved though; I just prefer it that way.

I would be willing to at least try getting waxed.

I use electrolysis at home, but honestly it's showing no results now. After a while it has sucked! It's a waste of money! But I hate hair so badly!

I also use depilitory creams, but I did that 2 nights ago and burned my cooter! The creams cause a lot of pain. I waxed at home once and whoa! It was excruciatingly painful!

I've also plucked one by one when I was doing the electrolysis. Plucking really kept them gone for like a week! I loved it, but it takes all freaking day. I'm now saving for a better at-home electrolysis system.

kendra; Wow - that's a lot of effort. We've tried a lot of these things too. But I've actually found that like shaving my face, over time it get's easier and I have fewer hassles with ingowns etc. Good luck - let us know if you find something that works!

Personally, I love to wax. The 20-30 minute appointment hurts, but it hurts less and less each time. Plus, it grows back thinner and thinner. If I don't keep up with the grooming, it starts to feel odd for me. I don't do it for my partner, I do it for myself.
