  • Question
    Doesn't it say on the bottle not to use it on vaginal/genital areas?
    Community Answer
    It does, meaning the actual internal part. It's safe to use it on surrounding areas, as long as it doesn't get inside.
  • Question
    What happens if you get it inside your vagina - is it dangerous?
    Community Answer
    It's not really dangerous, but it could cause some irritation. Be careful.
  • Question
    Will it make my hair grow back black?
    Community Answer
    Your hair should grow back whatever color it was before.
  • Question
    Where can I buy Nair?
    Community Answer
    You can buy it online, or you can go to a drugstore which should have Nair.
  • Question
    Does Nair remove hair permanently?
    Community Answer
    Nair does not remove hair permanently; however, hair takes longer to grow back if Nair is used rather than just shaving.
  • Question
    Will hair removing cream stop the growth of hairs for a longer period of time?
    Community Answer
    After using Nair, the hair will grow back more quickly than if you waxed it, but not as quickly as it would if you shaved it.
  • Question
    Why does my vagina itch when my hairs are growing back?
    Community Answer
    Because it's prickly. When the crotch, armpit or any other sensitive place is shaved, the hairs growing back are tiny and pointy, they act like itching powder. Don't forget all methods for hair removal also attack the skin to some extent, so micro lesions can itch. You need to keep the skin very clean (but don't irritate it with too much soap or it will get worse) and let it heal, maybe apply a hydrating cream.

    Community Answer
    You could try using a mirror for shaving for the first few times. It also helps to use one hand for shaving and the other hand for touching the bikini area, and feeling where there are still hairs left.
  • Question
    If I use Nair, will my bikini area become black?

  • Question
    Does Nair work on girls?
    Community Answer

  • Question
    What age do I have to be to use Nair?

  • Question
    Does Nair work on all skin and hair types, or is it possible it will leave a lot of hair behind?
    Community Answer
    For coarser hair, leave Nair on for a few extra minutes and make sure to exfoliate.
  • Question
    If I used Nair on my bikini area and it didn't remove all the hair, can I do it a second time?
    Community Answer
    I would recommend waiting at least a day or two before repeating the treatment. If you do two Nair treatments back to back, it could be very irritating for your skin.
  • Question

  • Question
    How do I reduce the growth of hair on my bikini area?
    Community Answer
    Waxing can aid in this. The more you get waxed the less the hair will continue to grow back.
  • Question
    Will it be more effective each time I use it?
    Community Answer
    It will be equally effective, but you will get more used to it, so it might not cause as much irritation.
  • Question
    Can I shave after using Nair?
    Community Answer
    As long as you are not doing it immediately or within a week's span of removing the hair with the product. Nair makes your skin sensitive, and shaving immediately after can cause further irritation.
  • Question

    Community Answer
    You should follow the instructions listed on the bottle, but be careful not to use too much or use it incorrectly because it could really irritate your skin.
  • Question

    Community Answer
    Yes, teenagers can use this.
  • Question
    What should I do first if I've never tried this before?
    Community Answer
    Shave first to get into the groove of shaving, and about 3 times after shaving, you can try the Nair.
  • Question
    Would you recommend using Nair for genital hair removal or waxing?
    Community Answer
    Waxing will last longer, but it's more painful. Nair will be painless (if done correctly), but won’t last as long.
  • Question
    Why do I get bikini bumps after using Nair?
    Community Answer

    Will this work for thick hair?
    Community Answer
    Yes, but you might have to go over it more than once.

  • Question
    What can I do to feel less nervous about shaving?
    Community Answer
    Try asking a parent, friend, or sibling about it to get some useful tips, including explaining how to do it safely. If you feel uncomfortable asking them, then look on YouTube and watch some videos that will show you how to do it and give you the confidence to try for yourself. However, remember that you also don't need to shave if you don't want to. For example, this article shows you how to use Nair instead, or you could decide to not remove the hair at all.
