Full bush, trimmed pubes or no pubes at all—your pubic hair preference is a personal choice. However, if a clean-shaven V-zone is your jam, we’ve something to tell you. Shaving might be the most fuss-free, painless hair removal method ever. But if done recklessly, it can irritate your sensitive genital skin. It can also mar the hair follicles and lead to painful, pus-filled boils and abscesses. Ouch!
In fact, grooming-related injuries such as cuts can also get infected by bacteria from sweat and dirt buildup, sexual contact or sanitary pads/tampons. If the toxins released by the bacteria enters your bloodstream, it can cause instant death due to the toxic shock syndrome (TSS). Relax! The chances, however, are bleak. But why take a risk when you can simply prevent these dangerous consequences by following these five safety tips while shaving down there. Scroll down to read them all:
Get Wet
We mean, just get in the shower or take a dip in the tub before you start shaving. This can loosen the hair follicle. Not to mention, wet pubic hair are soft and easier to remove. A warm bath can further help your case as it can open up the pores and make hair removal seamless.
Use A Shaving Barrier
Moving a razor through thick and coarse pubes can create excessive friction with the skin. This in turn can cause irritation, burns, and cuts. However, using a shaving barrier can make the razor glide on smoothly. We suggest you use a clear, foam-based cleanser instead of a shaving cream for the job. That’s because shaving creams can irritate the skin and make visibility an issue. Enter Sirona’s Refreshing Intimate Wash to the rescue. Made with natural ingredients like olive and jojoba oil, it is gentle on your skin and hydrating too.
Always Use A Sterile Razor
Your nether regions are way more sensitive than the other parts of the body. So, you’ve got to make sure that you always use a sterile razor to prevent infections. Also ensure that the razor blades are sharp and can remove the hair with minimum glides so as to reduce friction and irritation.
Guess what? We have a product in mind that can accommodate both these needs: Sirona’s Aloe Boost Twin Blade Razor. It’s a disposable razor, so you can pick out a clean, new one for each grooming sesh. Secondly, its Swedish stainless steel blades and moisturising aloe vera strip can help you get a close shave while keeping cuts and burns at bay.
Keep A Small Mirror Handy
Rather than bending in all possible directions to access the further corners of your intimate area, you can sit with legs wide open and use a mirror while shaving. It can really save you from the extra labour and of course, the cuts.
Your Freshly-Shaven Skin Needs Some TLC
Once you’re done shaving, rinse off your privates with water and pat them dry with a clean towel. Apply Sirona’s Post Wax & Shave Gel to help you get relied from any irritation or redness. Its healing ingredients like aloe vera and green tea can instantly soothe the skin and help keep ingrowns at bay.
Moisturiser For The Win
Moisturising the skin after shaving can help soothe any irritation or burns. In fact, it can rehydrate the genital skin post the process. We recommend you massage Sirona’s Moisturising Intimate Oil gently after shaving. Made with ingredients like buckthorn and coconut oil, it can help restore the moisture of your genital skin.
That’s all you need to keep in mind while shaving your pubes, folks! Trust us, you’ll never have to deal with painful cuts or burns post your grooming sesh. Happy shaving!
