Removing hair in the pubic region is important if you planto wear a bathing suit or a revealing item of clothing, such as shorts or a mini-skirt. It can be difficult to know the best ways to get rid of unwanted pubic hair. There are many methods you can use, each one having its own benefits.

Shaving is the old standby that allows you to remove hair around the pubic area quickly and effectively. Shaving is relatively painless, and can be accomplished in a very short time, making it the perfect solution for removing hair on short notice. Make sure to soak the area to be shaved in warm to hot water at least 10 minutes prior to shaving, and use a skin conditioning shaving gel. This will reduce and prevent irritating shaving rash from developing.

Depilatory creams and lotions remove hair by chemically softening and melting the hair shaft. Depilatory creams work fast and eliminate the risk of razor burn and razor bumps that can occur from shaving. These creams can be extremely strong, so if you decide to use a depilatory cream for your pubic area, make sure only to use the cream along the side of the pubic region, being careful not to get any cream onto the delicate skin on or around the genitals. Carefully follow the directions on the depilatory package.

Waxing pulls the hair out by the roots, is wonderful if you want to remove pubic hair less frequently. The hair that is removed takes longer to regrow, thereby giving you more days of hair-free skin. For a professional waxing, you can visit any beauty salon or spa that offers waxing around the pubic area. You can also purchase an at-home waxing kit that will allow you to wax your private areas in the comfort of your own home.
