Epilation of intimate zones is a procedure associated not only with external attractiveness, but also with the culture, hygiene and health of the human body. But not many people know how to properly remove excess hair without severe skin damage.
Opinions about whether to intimate areas of hair removal were divided. Some people are sure that the hair in these places protects the vagina from the penetration of bacteria and germs. But this is a lie. The vegetation in this area creates an excellent environment for the life and functioning of microbes. In addition, hair in the intimate area is the main cause of the unpleasant odor.
Shaving
The most affordable, instant and easy method to remove unwanted hair. Modern companies producing razors do not cease to amaze with the assortment: some differ in the number of blades, others with a strip with moisturizing components that facilitate the sliding of the device.
Epilation of intimate areas with a razor should be done after steaming the pubic area and pre-cutting long hairs. Next, a special tool is applied and the removal of excess vegetation begins. To avoid irritation, shaving hairs need growth. At the end of the procedure, the pubic area is rinsed with cool water and baby oil is applied.
The advantages of shaving include an affordable price, ease of execution, speed and painlessness of the procedure. The disadvantages of the method are many: the formation of irritations and cuts, a short-term effect, the gradual formation of bristles and ingrown hairs and, finally, the inability to conduct deep hair removal (the area between the buttocks).
The use of creams and reviews on their effectiveness
Chemical hair removal of intimate zones is represented by the use of special creams, gels and aerosols. Each remedy consists of a substance that provokes the breakdown of hair protein. As a result, having separated from the bulb, it falls out.
- Cream Veet . Any cream for hair removal of intimate areas in its composition should have soothing ingredients. For example, vegetable extracts, oils, cooling components and vitamins. Veet products fully comply with these parameters. But the cream gained popularity due to its effectiveness, economical consumption (the agent is applied in a thin layer) and the ability to slow down hair growth.
- Velvet Intim . Despite the low cost, the tool is no less effective than the previous one. The unique formula allows the product to take into account the features of the intimate zone, thereby protecting it from irritation and redness.

Epilator application
Epilation of the intimate zone at home is often carried out with an epilator equipped with small tweezers that grab and tear the hairs from the root. The procedure is very painful, and in the bikini area for several hours there is a strong redness. But, fortunately, it goes away, and the effect of smooth skin lasts up to 4 weeks.
Intimate hair removal of a bikini zone using an epilator is an unpleasant and painful procedure, and to reduce pain, modern manufacturers equip devices with special cooling devices.
This method of hair removal has several advantages and disadvantages and is suitable only for hair removal on the pubic area. The advantages include saving the result for a long time, the ability to carry out the procedure at home and independently.
According to women, the main disadvantages in using the epilator are pain, a big waste of time, the appearance of ingrown hairs and the high price for a high-quality epilator.
Waxing (Waxing)
Before the waxing procedure, hair in the intimate area grows to a certain length. Waxing is of three types: warm, hot, cold. More about cold waxing will be discussed later, but now we will consider the first two types.
Warm wax is preheated in a water bath. It is applied in the same way as all types, that is, in growth, and removed against hair growth. After epilation, the treated skin appears to be tight. It's all about the remnants of wax on the epilated area, it is he who causes discomfort.
Hot wax is heated to 42 degrees in wax and applied with a spatula. The steaming effect makes the procedure of hair removal of intimate places less painful and quick.
Electrolysis
Electrolysis is one of the most painful, but effective ways to remove hair in any area, including in the intimate. During the procedure, a needle electrode is inserted into the hair follicle. The main disadvantage of this method: the possibility of scarring and scars.
Photo and laser hair removal
Laser and photoepilation according to the principle of action are similar, since in both cases the effect on the skin is performed using light fluxes. In the first case, the beam affects the melanin that is part of the hair, damages the follicles, thereby provoking their loss. For processing 2 cm of skin, one flash of the epilator is sufficient. Laser hair removal is most effective for fair-skinned brunettes.
Full laser hair removal of intimate areas is limited to 5-7 visits to the beauty parlor with an interval of 6-8 weeks.
Epilation of the intimate zone at home
Of course, the most reliable and familiar way to remove vegetation in the bikini area is to use an epilator. But he has a significant minus - a very painful procedure. You must admit that not everyone can inflict such suffering on themselves, and sometimes you don’t have enough time or money to go to beauty salons.
In recent years, shugaring has become a popular way to remove hair in the intimate area. This method is old, less painful, reliable and affordable. Shugaring can be done by women with sensitive skin and various types of stiffness of pubic hair. In addition, sugar is hypoallergenic and has an antimicrobial function, therefore, during and after the procedure, there will be no inflammation or irritation.
Male hair removal of intimate zones
The procedure for removing hair in delicate places is in demand not only among the fair sex, but also among the strong. Removing vegetation in an intimate place in men differs in that the hair in this area grows faster and has a dense structure.
Male hair removal of intimate zones is carried out by the same methods as for women. But since the stronger sex is prone to fear of getting pain (especially in such a delicate place), in most cases, preference is given to the old and proven method - shaving. But from here the following fear arises: the possibility of injuring the skin or getting irritation, after which the hands will constantly ask there.
Therefore, dear men, in order to make the intimate area clean and neat, contact a beauty salon. Forget about shyness and discomfort, because you are an ordinary client for the master, and there’s nothing wrong with that, and even less so shameful.
