\nWhile waxing can help slow down\u00a0hair growth, it’s\u00a0much more painful. Shaving is equally as effective when it comes to cleaning up your bikini area and can be done at home<\/a>.<\/p>\n
\nThese pesky little bumps aren’t dangerous but they can be unsightly. Using a hair removal cream made specifically for the\u00a0bikini area can\u00a0help you avoid ingrown hairs from popping up. You can also purchase products<\/a> to apply to the area to lessen the appearance of your bumps after shaving.<\/p>\n
\nYour pubic hair<\/a> acts as a barrier between your lady parts and bacteria — just like how\u00a0your eyelashes protect your eyes from dirt. If you insist on going totally bare down there, make sure to keep the area clean at all times.<\/p>\n
\nIf you don’t want to take the plunge directly into shaving or waxing, you don’t have to! Trimming or lightly shaving the hair around your bikini area can help effectively tame it for the months you’ll be spending in a bikini.<\/p>\n
\nIf you haven’t shaved before, it’s best to test the waters before going full on Brazilian. Start with shaving the sides near your bikini line. Next trim longer hairs or opt for a landing strip which is the hair just down the center part of your labia. Still not impressed? Feel free to\u00a0take it all off<\/a>!<\/p>\n
