Are there any razors without blades for removing bikini hair?

All razors have blades, regardless of what they are used for. You may want to look at another method of hair removal, such as waxing.

Question

How do I prevent razor bumps when I shave my bikini line?

A few things you can do are: exfoliate; use a new razor, not an old one; do it in the shower, as the heat helps soften skin; moisturize after shaving.

Question

Can I put moisturizer cream on my bikini area before shaving?

Community Answer

Yes, you can. If anything, it's better to moisturize before and after shaving! Your skin won’t be as dry and irritated after shaving if you do both.

Question

Do most people go for the Brazilian wax or do most people only shave their bikini line?

Community Answer

It depends completely on personal preference. A lot of women have removed their pubic hair significantly or completely for the past twenty years or so, but it’s becoming more common again for women to just shave their bikini line.

Question

What age should you start and how do you tell your parents?

Community Answer

You can start whenever you feel comfortable with the idea. Try sitting in the shower and visualizing yourself reaching “down there”. As for telling your parents, you can just casually tell your mom, “Hey, sometimes my hair in the bikini area bothers me and I’m considering shaving it. What do you think?” You should not be ashamed to tell your mom/parents you want to take care of your body!

Question

What's the difference between hair removal cream and shaving cream?

Community Answer

Shaving cream is a soft foam that you shave with. You have to use a razor in order to use shaving cream. If you don’t want to shave, you use hair removal cream. Usually you put on the cream, wait a few minutes and wipe it off. It really depends on your preference. You also don’t have to use shaving cream. There is shaving foam, shaving gel, and you can even use conditioner.
