Take a deep breath for intimate area shaving for a woman

Patience is the key to good intimate shaving for ladies. No, this is not something Confucius said. But it‘s important nevertheless: Take as much time for your intimate shave as you need. You should especially play it safe to avoid irritation or cuts.

Choose a shaver with a flexible head that conforms to your contours. Find a model with more than one blade and clean it thoroughly before intimate shaving. This way you avoid bacteria spreading on the blades and settling in your pores and stops shaving pimples from forming.

1. Before pubic hair shaving: clean skin, clean results

The cleaner your intimate area before shaving, the lower the risk of an infection afterwards. Shower or wash with warm water and a mild shower gel. If the water is too hot, it can irritate your skin. A little warmth however makes your skin smoother and ensures that your hair follicles – and you – can relax.

Instead of shower gel you can also use a pH neutral wash. It removes dead skin cells that clog your pores and may lead to ingrown hair. Afterwards pat yourself dry with a clean towel so you can start with trimming and shaving of the bikini area.

2. Less is more: trimming hair and shaving the bikini area

Make sure to trim your pubic hairs first. This way you can see better when you’re shaving afterwards. It’s also better for your shaver. If your hair is short while shaving the bikini area, they won’t get stuck in the shaver. That saves you an uncomfortable pulling feeling and your skin potential irritation.

It’s best if you use a tool that has been developed to protect your sensitive bikini area. The SatinShave Prestige from Philips has a trimmer attachment with rounded tips and an additional protective frame. This way it avoids scratches and ensures an all-round comfortable trimming.

Afterwards it’s onto the bikini area. Make sure your skin is tight. One way you can do that is by placing your foot on a stool and turning your leg outwards. For uneven areas like the bikini line, it pays off to use a shaver with a flexible head like the Philips SatinShave Prestige. Along with its shaving head for the bikini area and the bikini area trimmer comb, its flexible joint ensures optimum skin contact.

3. How do I shave my intimate area? A clever woman proceeds like this ...

Now it’s time to shave the really sensitive areas. You know what we mean ladies, it’s time to shave the vagina. That, of course, is optional. If you are happy with a cleanly trimmed intimate area and shaved bikini line, great. Your skin will thank you for it.

If not, make sure you are standing in the light and can see everything clearly. Pull your skin taught while shaving to avoid scratches and achieve a smoother finish. First shave in the direction of hair growth, then, if necessary, against it. Ensure you don’t go over a particular area too often. Then you thoroughly rinse the area with lukewarm water and pat it dry. Voilà!

4. The best for last: after the intimate shaving of a woman

Now you can apply a mild balm that’s especially made for the intimate shaving of ladies and indulges your intimate area with soothing aloe vera or tea tree oil. Keep your tight synthetic underwear in the drawer for now. Cotton enables your skin to breathe better and doesn’t irritate it.

If you are tired of having to shave every few days here’s a solution for you: hair removal with IPL (Intense Pulsed Light). The Lumea Prestige for example has a bikini area attachment with which you can work precisely on the area and achieve weeks of smooth skin. A pain-free, skin-friendly alternative that lasts considerably longer than a smooth shave of the bikini area. Sounds like paradise? It is!
