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

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.

Question

How can I clean without seeing it?

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.

If used as directed, all Nair will do is remove hair. It won't change the color of your skin.

Laser hair removal is expensive and often needs several visits to remove all of the hair, but it is the only real method of removing hair permanently.

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

How do I reduce the growth of hair on my bikini area?

Waxing can aid in this. The more you get waxed the less the hair will continue to grow back.

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.

Waxing will last longer, but it's more painful. Nair will be painless (if done correctly), but won’t last as long.

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.
