Razor for intimate area

Question for the ladies here - is there a razor that you’ve found to be better suited for shaving around your intimate areas? Do you use a razor or do you use an electric trimmer / shaver?

Looking around for other options. I currently use a Gillette Venus but wondering if an electric trimmer may be easier and as effective

The important thing when you use any blade is to shave the area moving the blade in the same direction as the hair grows to avoid rashes.

Going against it may cause you to have those red rashes that will be itchy.

If you really want a better and longer lasting result, then go for waxing or even better lasering.

@Stephie ^this!! It took me several failed attempts to figure this out. I still find myself with an occasional nick or cut which is leading me to ask about an electric trimmer. But you’re probably right, waxing may be the better choice. Is that uncomfortable?

@FLAme42 Well, waxing can be painful, mainly the first few times until you get used to. Just make sure that the hair is not too long or too short. If it is too short, the wax may not adhere too well on the hair and may fail to get the roots out.

I use an electric trim tbh
You can change the settings to how close ya wanna go
Its much less itchy for me! And easier as you dry shave then wash off after rather than running shower water

@FLAme42 waxing is 100% better but i couldn't deal with the pain
I have darker hair which is coarse. If you have fair hair its probably your best option

@Gangstress my hair is darker as well. So waxing is not comfortable and easy? That has been my hesitation all along

@FLAme42 no hun i hated it. Did it twice and the lady kept saying itll get better every time. I just couldn't face it after the 2nd go lol

I usually wax but if I need to shave Ill use Gillette Venus as well.

I use the Venus, but also wax

FLAme42 · 41-45, F

@KallieGB I’ve never waxed but am considering it. How often do you do that?

If you're brave you could use nair, the lotion type. Ive used it and it works great. But you gotta rinse with cold water. I put on gold bond powder afterwards just in case. Minimum burning. Much better than a razor

@ffony Because a few people are educated and use the proper term and the majority is objectifying the female body

I've heard from women that the Venus razor is good.
