Its fact, that shaving pubic hair is just as popular as that of brushing the hair on your head. Is shaving pubic hair the "in thing to do," well this all depends. It's understandable why folk trim their pubes to keep up with the latest trend; however, never a wise "thing-to-do" if not sure about the good and bad reasons why you should or shouldn`t shave pubic hair.
Men, if not more than women remove their pubic hair; however the biggest majority feel lost in the female dominated world of pubic hair removal. There are many solutions for removing pubic hair, however not all ideal for man as they are woman. Brazilian waxing in some waxing salons can be more expensive for men, why the extra charge for treatment is beyond me, but if the mind is allowed to wonder then we have the answer why. Waxing is something women accept as part of their beauty package, whereas men find the prospect of showing their John Thomas extremely embarrassing. The pulling of hair from the ultra sensitive skin of the testicles isn't a good idea and painful too. You may over time have seen or heard that an electric beard shaver can be used for shaving pubic hair; well you heard right, nevertheless common sense should prevail. What was created for the face is not ideal for the genitals also. There are specially devised gadgets for this. A face razor used down below without proper sterilization afterwards is very unhealthy indeed.
Shaving pubic hair can be done in quick easy steps. Still not a job to be rushed
- Cut long pubic hair before shaving begins. This prevents constant snagging pubic mass.
- Bathe targeted area. Warmth opens the pores, making shaving easier.
- Use shaving cream or shaving gel. Check for a cream best suited to your skin. Some products may include ingredients you are allergic to. Shaving creams for sensitive skin should be considered. Avoid soap if possible. If soap is to be used then a mild non scented product is your best bet.
- Shave in direction of the way hair grows; avoid repetitive strokes over the same area as the skin can become dry and scraped causing irritation and razor bumps. If you taut the skin it will help you get at awkward spots.
- Exfoliation sponges are advisable for cleaning shaved areas. Exfoliating the skin will remove any dead cells
- An essential part of the process is to moisturize. Regardless of what body part, treating it with moisturizer will have you thank yourself later in life. Baby oil and moisturizers containing Aloe Vera is best.

Creating your own pubic hair design - Follow instructions accordingly:
1. Let us assume you have your desired pubic hair design and an art stencil kit
2. Print the design directly onto heavy paper. If not possible use regular paper and, using scissors, cut out pattern leaving about one inch of white border round sides. Using glue coat the back of the design, be careful not to touch delicate parts with sticky gummed fingers. Once the back is glued attach it to paper and leave to dry.
3. Your first attempt at styling your own pubes should be kept simple. Complicated designs can complicate matters worse. For a simple shape use an X-acto knife to cut around the edge of the design. Use a ruler or straight edge as a guide for cutting straight lines.
4. If you prefer to use a depilatory, then you will need a laminating sheet. Peel off the protective back to reveal adhesive side, now carefully stick the stencil over pubic hair. Smooth petroleum jelly round the edges to "seal" this is done to prevent the depilatory from slithering under the stencil. Gently remove the sticky stencil. If still sticking and painful to pull then, soak off using warm water.
5. Another alternative way is to remove hair from inside the design rather than from the outside. You need much pubic mass for this. Make a larger stencil piece, take the design shape away from the middle to create a mask, and then remove the hair that shows through cut-out shape. If at any time you experience difficulty it is wise to stop what you are doing.
After time removing your pubic hair and styling gets easier - so no more " hairy scary" moments.

Top-level comments on this article: (3 total)Kacy,I do appreciate your articles. They are all so informative!I do see that you failed to mention something in this one.When using a razor not only should one be concious to clean the area before shaving and be mindful to using a clean razor, but also; while shaving with a blade be careful not to knick any pimples, Genital Warts or other skin eruptions.If you do knick an affecte area stop using that razor immediately and grab a new sterilized one and continue on your de-hairing process. If you continue to use the same razor you will spread germs and virus' and cause outbreaks in other areas.
Thank you Priestess for your comment and your helpful information that I missed out. Nevertheless as you pointed this out for me it will help other readers take note of these important issues.Keep wellKacy
I actually can't believe that there was soo much involved with trimming the pubic region. Have you thought about putting a column on Twitter?
