A well-groomed girl is impeccable in everything. Even in places you can't see. Let's talk about what is epilation and what are the methods of elimination of hated vegetation in hard-to-reach places.

The essence of the procedure

Shaving intimate places is, of course, easier and cheaper. But the result of such a procedure does not last long. In order for the skin "there" to be smooth, it will be necessary to shave every day. Due to the frequent use of the machine in the bikini area often irritated and inflamed.

• if you regularly do hair removal, when growing back, the hair does not prick, as it becomes thin and soft;
• even in the first days after intimate epilation, there is no effect of goosebumps.

Methods for removing hair in intimate places

In addition to the usual razor, there are different means for removing hair in intimate places. Some of them are completely painless, others require patience and endurance. Some will help get rid of hair for a while, others - forever. Each girl can choose the way that suits her the most.

Waxing

When removing hair in intimate places with wax, special strips are used. The wax is heated in a wax maker, then applied to the body with a cosmetic spatula. The strip for epilation is tightly applied to the skin and with a sharp movement tear it off against hair growth. The action is repeated until all unwanted hairs are on the strip.

Sugaring

This procedure involves getting rid of unwanted vegetation with the help of sugar fasting. pasta you can cook at home, or you can use ready-made mixture, softening it first to the desired degree. You need to remove hair in intimate places with shugaring in the direction in which they grow.

Painless hair removal in intimate areas

Chemical depilation is a much less painful way to get rid of hair. Many different creams, gels and ointments are produced, which then used to remove hair all over the body, including in intimate places.

All that is required is to apply the product to the area you want to make smooth, wait certain time specified in the instructions, and clean the surface of the skin with a special scraper, which usually comes with the preparation.

Complete hair removal in intimate places with a laser

The only one how to get rid of unwanted hair forever Yes, it is laser hair removal. To remove hair both in the area of ​​​​intimate places and in other parts of the body, in this case, a mechanical device is used - a laser.

Depilation is the removal of hair from the surface of the skin, and its most famous methods are shaving and the use of a special cream that softens and removes hairs. Depilation does not affect the hair follicle and does not destroy it, unlike epilation - hair removal along with the bulb. Depilation of the intimate area is simple, painless and quick - the procedure usually does not take more than 5 minutes.

Peculiarities

Depilation of the intimate area is not to the liking of every girl or woman - some are afraid of pain and irritation, others are quite satisfied with their vegetation. Like any procedure, depilation has positive and not so features:

• Allows you to get rid of hair quickly and painlessly;
• Eliminates bad odor. Regrown hair (no matter where) is able to retain droplets of sweat and sebum - sebum on its “body”, and the latter tend to smell unpleasant, plus bacteria spread in the hairs. Especially this problem - pregnant women and just those who have a changing hormonal background suffer from excessive sweating;
• Smooth skin in the intimate area charges with confidence more than expensive underwear, experts say;
• Women's depilation allows you not to remove the hair cleanly, but to remove the length or get rid of only the protruding hairs from under the panties;
• Depilation of a deep bikini involves the removal of hairs completely and is especially common among young girls.

Speaking about the positive aspects of depilation, it is impossible not to note its negative ones:

• May cause skin irritation;
• May lead to ingrown hairs;
• Requires constant costs - the purchase of a razor, cassettes or blades for it, cream and other accessories, including skin care products;
• Does not have a long lasting effect.

What is the name of?

The groin area in women is called the "bikini", and speaking of this intimate area, it cannot be said that bikini depilation is deep and classic. Depilation of the "classic" bikini involves the removal of only those hairs that go beyond the panties, that is, all the extra ones, they usually look untidy and can be disgusting. "Deep" bikini - hair removal from the entire surface of the groin, including the labia and intergluteal region, but as an exception, you can leave a small strip of short pubic hair.

Types and methods

There are two methods of depilation, that is, removing hair from the surface of the skin - using a razor or cream.

Shaver

The easiest and painless way to get rid of hair in the intimate area, but not the most modern and long-lasting - the hair begins to grow back in a day, and the intimate area looks like a hedgehog.

Dozens and even hundreds of razor models are now presented, from simple disposable razors to modern ones with a floating head and an additional property to soothe the skin (due to the release of gel from the machine).

The razor does a good job of full depilation, that is, "deep bikini" thanks to thin blades and a small razor head, but there is a chance of cutting the skin.

Cream

The depilatory cream literally “dissolves” the hair on the surface, but it is undesirable to get it on the skin mucosa (and it is in the intimate area). This method is also painless, but not all creams cope with hard and long hairs on the body; often, an additional razor is required to achieve the ideal effect.

Depilatory cream Velvet qualitatively removes hairs and slows down their further growth, the brand line has products for various parts of the body, including the intimate area and sensitive skin in general. Depilation with a “mini-bikini” complex allows you to get rid of vegetation for a period of 3 to 6 months and even at home. The manufacturer says that his product does not remove hair, and only stops their growth, so the cream and oil should be used in combination only after any hair removal procedure - using a home epilator or going to shugaring or waxing hair removal procedures. Opinions about this product among consumers are divided - some praise it for a "smooth" result, others do not see anything special in the composition of the product and its work.

By the way, about the composition of the "mini-bikini": a complex of saturated fats, organic acids, high concentration of iodine and rambutan seed oil.

Funds

Waxing is the easiest and most cost-effective way to remove hair from the bikini area, and there aren't many tools available to do it.

Shaving

It is practically painless and does not affect the deep processes in the skin (unlike epilation, when the hairs are removed along with the bulb). It is advisable to shave with a special gel, cream or foam so that the razor blade slides better over the surface of the skin, captures even small hairs, moreover, an additional tool will protect against cuts and overdrying of the skin.

Shaving breaks the structure of the hair, as well as removing them with an epilator, sugar or wax. It can change the direction of hair growth, lead to irritation and other consequences from depilation or epilation, and in order to avoid unpleasant moments, it is necessary to carry out the procedure according to simple recommendations:

• Use a razor in the shower or after taking a bath on a damp, slightly steamed body - so the hairs will be easier to grab and remove;
• Use a special cream, not soap (the latter dries the skin a lot and does not provide a sliding surface for razor blades);
• Remove hair according to hair growth if the skin is sensitive or thin or against - it is more effective;
• Pluck out hairs with tweezers if in some area they are rare - frequent shaving can cause the growth of new thick and dark hair.

Cream use

A well-known method of removing hair from the intimate area. This product is easy to use: it is enough to apply it on the skin in the direction of hair growth with a spatula and leave for a certain time, then remove it against growth with the same spatula. Modern manufacturers of cosmetics for depilation offer creams "for all occasions" - for sensitive skin, for the bikini area, legs and armpits, for normal dermis and others.

Which one to choose - focus on creams for the intimate area or sensitive areas of the body, since their composition is usually simplified and "at hand" to the consumer.

Cream Velvet- one of the most famous and affordable hair removal products, including from the intimate area. Cream to remove hair from the bikini area Velvet for sensitive skin with olive oil and chamomile, special " Velvet intimate» for working with the intimate area with chamomile in the composition. It is inferior to hot wax in the cartridge in terms of the duration of the effect, but surpasses the notorious razor - the hairs grow thinner.

Ingrown hairs can appear from any type of depilation, and a special cream or lotion will help prevent their appearance, for example, " Depileve Folisan". The liquid form of the product is convenient for use on the bikini area. As part of the lotion against ingrown hairs " Depileve Folisan"contains acetylsalicylic acid (dries the skin, relieves inflammation, redness), glycerin (excellent moisturizes, nourishes the epidermis, soothes and stimulates cell renewal, effectively heals damaged or dry skin).

Folk recipes

Our great-grandmothers also thought about getting rid of hair, from which simple methods, or recipes, have come down to us.

Hydrogen peroxide or peroxide

« old-timers"recommend wiping your hair 2-3 times a day and say that the vegetation will soon acquire a lighter inconspicuous shade. This recipe is not a 100% way to get rid of body hair, but it is often used to bleach hair and especially often on the face.

Potassium permanganate

Or potassium permanganate. Excellent fights with unwanted vegetation - so they say "experienced". The essence of its use is to dilute a concentrated solution of potassium permanganate and daily wipe it with areas of the body with vegetation, in our case in the intimate area. The highly concentrated composition of potassium permanganate is dangerous - it is easy for them to get burned, and especially when in contact with the mucous membrane (it is also available in the intimate area).

In addition, the manganese solution gives a noticeable coloring effect on the skin from light yellow to brown.

Iodine

A mixture of ammonia, classic alcohol and iodine effectively fights hairs. The recipe is quite simple: you need to mix 70 gr. alcohol, 10 gr. "ammonia", 10 gr. castor oil and 3 gr. iodine. The resulting solution should be wiped on the skin twice a day.

Pumice

The abrasive surface of a pumice stone can get rid of hairs - the daily use of a “grater” for legs literally eliminates hair from the surface of the body, they say on the forums. It is worth noting that this method is traumatic, and especially for the intimate area - the skin there is tender. The essence of the method is to rub the skin 1-2 times a day to a slight reddening and wait for natural hair loss.

Folk ways to deal with unwanted vegetation in the bikini area are rather doubtful: it is not known how long the hair will begin to fall out from daily rubbing with pumice stone or compresses from iodine and alcohol. It is likely that getting a burn or severe irritation will be faster than getting rid of the hairs.

What is the best thing to do in the bikini area?

Razor or cream - depending on how you are used to doing it. Daily shaving with a razor is not very good for our skin - it is irritated, dried out and simply injured from frequent contact with the blade, the same can be said about depilatory cream - it simply cannot be used daily. Irritation is the most common consequence of daily depilation procedures and especially in the bikini area, it can be expressed by slight redness, rash, itching and even painful sensations on the skin.

If we talk about sensitive skin, you need to test both shaving and several depilatory creams in order to determine “your own”. With the growth of rough, hard and dark hair, you can try several brands of depilatory creams, suddenly among them there is a product with maximum impact - it will effectively remove hairs in the bikini area, will not cause irritation on the skin and with it they will not grow "by leaps and bounds" . Those with fine blonde hair can also try to find their perfect cream or keep shaving, especially if the new hairs are growing slowly.

How to do at home?

Proper preparation. The optimal time for the procedure is at 15-16 hours - experts define this time as the period of least susceptibility to discomfort. In general, depilation is known for its painlessness, which means that it can be done at home “on demand”, if no pain or discomfort has been observed before.

Scrub before hair removal- in the shower or after taking a bath. Abrasive particles will remove the keratinized "dead" layer of cells, lift the hairs at the roots and provide the razor blade with high-quality sliding, and the cream - better absorption on the skin and destruction of the "body" of the hair.

Perform the depilation procedure in the shower(if it's a razor) or after if you're using cream. Warm water will steam the skin a little and make the shaving cartridge glide better. By the way, it is also worth doing hair removal after a shower in order to cleanse the skin and prevent particles of sebum, sweat and bacteria from penetrating into open pores, and it is not recommended to wet the skin after the procedure for another 2-3 hours (ideally - up to 12 hours).

Speaking of shaving, prepare a fresh, sharp blade or assess the condition of the previous one - how clean it is, whether it glides well on the skin and whether it cuts hairs rather than tears them.

Depilation with a cream requires no less preparation:

• Take a shower - the area to be depilated must be clean. A scrub will not hurt either;
• Dry the skin and hairs completely with a towel and natural air - the cream will not lie evenly on wet skin;
• Prepare a tube of cream, a spatula for applying and removing hair, a towel or a thick napkin;
• Additionally, you can wipe the skin with an antiseptic - lotion, tonic, if there are no contraindications on this topic in the manufacturer's recommendations.

How is the process going?

Depilation with a razor is best done in the shower - warm water will soften the skin a little and open the pores. Pre-apply a little shaving cream or foam on clean, damp skin and spread it well over the intimate area, the composition will allow the razor blades to glide over the surface easily and catch all the hairs, even the shortest ones.

The process of hair removal begins from the pubis - walk with a razor along the hair growth, from top to bottom. Next, switch to the labia and intergluteal region - these areas need to be shaved in different directions in order to effectively remove the vegetation. Return to the pubis and evaluate its smoothness - if it is not sufficient, you can walk along it with a razor against hair growth, fix the result.

Depilation of hair with a cream is a little different:

• On dry skin, apply a little depilatory cream with a spatula - you should not distribute it with your hands;
• Start distributing the product from the pubis and move down to the labia;
• It is important to distribute the cream evenly - there should be no gaps, otherwise the hairs will remain in place;
• To effectively apply the “deep bikini” depilatory cream, take a sitting position, bend your knees and spread them as much as possible to the sides - it will become easier to get to hard-to-reach areas;

• After the cream is applied to the entire “deep” bikini area and distributed evenly over it, it is necessary to wait a certain amount of time (usually from 10 to 30 minutes);
• It is necessary to remove the cream with the same spatula against hair growth, that is, from the bottom up;
• It is advisable to start removing hairs from the intergluteal region and move up to the pubis;
• You can go over the same place two or three times to effectively remove the hairs.

Skin care after

Proper care after depilation is no less important than preparation. Let's talk about its stages for any type of depilation - with a razor or cream:

• Rinse the hairs and any remaining product (shaving cream or gel) from the surface of the skin and pat it dry with a towel. Do not rub the skin - this can cause irritation;
• Wipe the skin with an antibacterial solution - tonic or facial lotion with aloe vera, chamomile, thermal water or any other composition without alcohol (you can use a decoction of herbs);
• Dry the epidermis and apply a little body moisturizer or use a regular baby cream, oil.
• After depilation, it is especially important to use a scrub 2-3 times a week, this will prevent ingrown hairs;
• Quality care may include the use of special creams or gels that prevent new hair growth.

Timely moisturizing of the skin in the bikini area is very important: it will make the skin healthy, smooth, reduce the risk of irritation and skin injuries (razor cuts).

To summarize: before depilating with a cream, clean the surface with a disinfectant solution: it will remove bacteria from the epidermis and prevent irritation. Immediately after the procedure, walk with a cotton pad dipped in a peroxide solution, for example, on irritated skin, do not forget to apply a moisturizer or oil every time after the procedure - this will soothe the skin and relieve dryness further.

Effects

Irritation is a normal reaction of the skin, but it can be different and sometimes causes a number of inconveniences and consequences. The most unpleasant thing is the itching that accompanies the girl throughout the rest of the day and even at night. If the skin itches, it is necessary to treat it with aloe vera lotion or tea tree extract, herbal decoction or alcohol tincture (no more than 70% alcohol in the composition).

Severe irritation after depilation is expressed by redness and the formation of a network of pimples and simultaneous itching, which literally interfere with the flow of ordinary life. It is necessary to treat the “wound” no more than once every half an hour with light soaking movements; rubbing the irritated area is not recommended. Baby powder will relieve strong and prolonged irritation - pour a little powder on the surface of the skin and leave it.

If irritation appeared from the use of the cream, then the next time you should definitely not use it.

Inflamed acne as an unpleasant consequence of depilation will have to be treated. They appear due to ingrown hairs under the skin, and they must be removed correctly: treat the pimple with an antiseptic and keep the cotton wool and the solution with you, try to press on the “ripe” focus, the pimple should burst, and the hair should come to the surface.

Does it hurt?

The question is purely individual. Depilation with a razor and cream - the most painless methods of dealing with unwanted vegetation, "hot" methods, including an epilator, will definitely add discomfort.

In the process of shugaring, the master applies and removes the paste while scrubbing the skin, in addition, the hairs are also removed, leaving the follicles open.

And if, after shugaring, you have sex during which friction of already injured areas occurs, then this can lead not only to redness, but even to painful traumatization of the skin up to breaks and other negative consequences.

Nevertheless, under certain conditions, intimacy is still possible.

Is it possible to have sex before sugaring: is it possible to make love before the sugar hair removal procedure

In general, there are no contraindications, but with the proviso that during the process the skin is not injured and you will have time and the opportunity to take a shower.

Increased sweating

A few hours before the procedure, it is advisable to exclude any activities that provoke increased sweating. For example, visiting saunas and baths, performing strong physical exertion, as well as having sex.

If you do not take a shower, then the remnants of sweat on the hairs will prevent the tight “adhesion” of the sugar paste to the skin, as a result, the epilation will be of poor quality.

Of course, it is necessary to take a shower before the procedure to remove all sweat from the body. In this case, there will be no problems with the adhesion of the paste to the hairs.

Skin injury

Increased friction during sexual intercourse can lead to injury to the skin in the intimate area. In this case, sugaring will increase discomfort or even cause pain, possibly even leading to injuries up to skin breaks.

If after sex in the intimate area there are no skin injuries (chafing, swelling, microtrauma, burning sensation, etc.), then no.

If shugaring is done not in the bikini zone, then there are no contraindications.

Engaging in intimate life immediately after shugaring is not prohibited, since skin injury during the procedure is minimal, there is almost no risk of infection, so there is no threat to health.

After shugaring, the specialist gives recommendations, and also reports on a number of actions that should be avoided. This number includes having sex, since increased sweating and increased friction can cause severe irritation and trauma.

Intimate life after epilation of the deep bikini zone is not recommended for 1-4 days- until the skin is completely healed.

• Redness, inflammation and peeling
  This reaction occurs if the girl has sensitive skin. During sex, friction occurs, which exacerbates already irritated skin. For prevention, immediately after sex, it is recommended to apply a moisturizer.
• Rash
  Rashes after intimacy may indicate irritation from body contact and / or improper care after the procedure.
• The appearance of acne with purulent contents
  If after sex the skin area was not sufficiently processed, abscesses may appear. In this case, harmful microorganisms penetrate the open follicles, causing the appearance of abscesses.
• puffiness
  Puffiness in the early days is the norm, although it may also indicate an inflammatory process.
• The skin becomes more sensitive, as a result, irritation appears.
  Redness and a mild rash should not be a cause for concern, this reaction often occurs in women with sensitive skin.
• infection
  If the bikini area has not been treated with an antiseptic before and after intercourse, an infection can penetrate through the injured areas. This condition is observed if sexual intercourse occurred shortly after shugaring on the street, in the pool, the sea, etc.
• Soreness
  Soreness of the skin after sex is associated with increased friction, especially if the procedure was performed for the first time.
• Itching
  Itching is associated with overdrying of the skin, sweating. In this case, immediately after sex, the skin should be treated with a moisturizing and healing cream.
• Thrush
  Thrush can be activated in places with injuries and damage that appear as a result of shugaring. Sex after the procedure increases the risk of infection in the wounds.

If such reactions appear immediately after sexual intimacy, it is necessary to consult a dermatovenereologist for advice.

How long can you not have sex after shugaring: when can you start an intimate life after sugar depilation

Sex immediately after sugar depilation is possible only if there is no contact with the treated area. In other cases, intimate life should be abstained for several days. As long as the skin shows signs of inflammation and irritation, making love is undesirable.

The time frame when it will be possible to engage in intimacy after sugar depilation:

• Sex shortly after the procedure
  If the skin is not prone to irritation and the pain threshold is low, sexual contact immediately after the procedure is possible. The only thing is that it is recommended to avoid excessive friction and treat the skin with an antiseptic immediately after sex.
• After 3-6 hours
  During this time, the skin is able to calm down. If there is no redness, swelling, and other reactions in the treated area, you can make love in a few hours. In another case, it is better to postpone intimate life for several days. During sex, sweating is inevitable, in addition, after it you will need to take a shower - which is undesirable in the first hours.
• One day after depilation
  Such a period of time should be avoided by those who are prone to dryness and irritation of the skin. Additional use of products or plain water can dry out the skin, making it more itchy.

The most optimal abstinence time is 3 days. During this time, the treated area is able to recover from minimal damage.

According to experts, sex is contraindicated on the first day after shugaring. Friction during contact can increase irritation.

This restriction applies even to those who have been depilating the bikini area for a long time.

Some cosmetologists even believe that sexual intimacy should be postponed for 3-4 days - until the injured surface of the body is completely healed.

During this time, the hair follicles and pores will close - so inflammation can also be prevented.

At the same time, sexual abstinence alone is not enough to completely eliminate the development of negative consequences.

How long can you have an intimate life after shugaring a deep bikini

The time to wait after shugaring a deep bikini is individual. Much depends on the professionalism of the master, the sensitivity of the skin, the tendency to allergies and other individual characteristics.

Sometimes it is permissible not to observe sexual rest at all and have sex on the very first day after deep depilation with sugar paste.

With a deep bikini, sensitive areas are treated, so sex can be uncomfortable. According to the reviews of the girls who have passed not for the first time, the skin has become less sensitive. And after a few hours there are no signs of inflammation, so sex in this case is possible.

If there are signs of irritation, redness, and soreness, it is better to postpone sexual intercourse for several days.

Having sex before and after shugaring is up to you. It all depends on the sensitivity of the skin and the characteristics of the body.

If on the first day there are no longer any discomfort, there is no swelling and redness, there are no prohibitions on having sex.

But if possible recommended yet refrain from sexual intercourse for the first 3-5 days. If the treated area after sugar depilation is inflamed, red, itchy and other unpleasant symptoms appear, sexual intercourse is contraindicated.

Depilation in intimate places is a painful procedure, but most women are ready to make such sacrifices for the sake of beauty. All kinds of creams, cosmetic products and devices are used to remove unwanted vegetation in the intimate area. What are the pros and cons of each depilation method? How to properly care for the skin after the removal of vegetation?

Types of depilation

Soreness and irritation are constant companions of the procedure, so you need to choose a depilation method for yourself, taking into account the reaction of the skin and the body to it.

Types of depilation

A beautiful and well-groomed bikini area is the goal of many girls. At the same time, there are adherents of the complete removal of vegetation in this zone. This reduces the risk of developing microbes and bacteria on the scalp, especially during menstruation. There are those who believe that it is necessary to leave at least some of the hairs to protect the genitals from harmful bacteria and infections. There are the following types of depilation:

• Deep - removal of all hairs on the pubis and labia;
• Bikini zones - vegetation is removed in the corners along the underwear line and on the inside of the thighs;
• Brazilian - "fur" from the perineum, pubic part and labia.

A beautiful and well-groomed bikini area is the goal of many girls.

Delicate skin in the intimate part can be very irritated after the removal of vegetation. Plus, pain is added to this. Therefore, the female half is constantly in search of ways to gently and painlessly remove hair.

Most often, girls use the following methods for depilation of intimate places:

• Shaver;
• Cold and hot wax;
• Depilatory cream;
• epilator;
• Sugar paste for shugaring.

Pros and cons

It can be done in a variety of ways, each with its own pros and cons.

Peeling will be a good basis for depilation - this will remove rough skin and improve its elasticity

The advantage of using a razor is the speed and accessibility of the procedure. If there is no time for long cosmetic procedures and other methods of depilation, then the machine can be a kind of lifesaver. The biggest disadvantage is the rapid appearance of unpleasant bristles. The hair becomes thicker and stiffer, their ingrowth into the skin may occur. During the use of the machine, the upper layer of the epidermis is damaged, which leads to irritation and rashes.

Depilation of the intimate area with a special cream is a quick way to put yourself in order. The disadvantages of this method include:

• The occurrence of an allergic reaction;
• Not complete removal of vegetation. Hard hairs remain;
• Specific smell.

Bikini area care at home involves the removal of unwanted hairs in ways available to every woman

Depilation of intimate places with the help of an epilator is quite popular. To reduce pain, it is recommended to pre-steam the skin and do a pre-peeling procedure. This will keep the hairs from growing into the skin. Over time, the procedure will be less painful and rare, as the hair becomes thinner and grows more slowly. The negative sides include pain and the appearance of irritation after the intimate procedure.

The use of cold and hot wax guarantees long-term results. It is enough to carry out one removal in three weeks so that the bikini area is beautiful and well-groomed. At the same time, the disadvantages of the procedure do not always stop the girls. During hair removal with hot wax there is a risk:

• get burned;
• cause skin irritation and hair breakage if the depilation technology is not followed.

It is enough to carry out one removal in three weeks so that the bikini area is beautiful and well-groomed

Cold wax or special strips are less dangerous, but there is no steaming of the skin, which is fraught with severe pain. Intimate depilation with sugar paste is less painful. For the procedure, sugar, water and lemon juice are used. A warm mass is applied to the hairs, and then removed in one confident movement along with adhering vegetation. The disadvantage of this method is pain, the inability to prepare high-quality pasta on the first try.

Care after

It does not end at the very removal of unwanted vegetation. The girl needs to carefully care for her skin in order to reduce the negative manifestations after the manipulations. Women's intimate area requires special care. Only in this case can we talk about beautiful and healthy skin without unnecessary "fur".

To restore the skin and reduce irritation, you must:

• Use a special cream to reduce inflammation and irritation;
• Exfoliate every week to remove dead skin cells. This will help prevent ingrown hairs.
• Moisturize and nourish the skin with the help of cosmetics after each shower;
• Do not wear synthetic underwear.

Other Ways to Remove Vegetation

Today, female depilation is not limited to the mechanical method of removing vegetation. There are other methods as well. For this purpose, electrolysis is used. During the procedure, a needle electrode is inserted into the follicle. Due to the impulse, the hair root is destroyed and its further removal.

Use a special cream to reduce inflammation and irritation

Photoepilation and laser removal are similar in principle. A light beam acts on the skin, which destroys the follicle and leads to hair loss. Such intimate depilation requires more than one session. The cost of the procedure is quite high, so not every girl can afford it.

Depilation of intimate areas is a delicate issue that is little talked about. However, there are many ways to remove unwanted hair. Services for the procedure are offered by beauty salons, but you can also perform it at home.

Some people consider depilation of intimate areas to be a completely unnecessary procedure, others remove only those hairs that protrude from under their underwear or leave a narrow strip of hairline.

Hair removal pros and cons

There is also a group of absolute opponents of hair in the groin area, who prefer to remove it completely. Interestingly, many participants in such discussions often refer to the hygienic aspects of depilation of intimate areas, arguing their position.

In the end, each of us prefers something different. However, the question remains of accepting a clear definition of how the presence or absence of hair affects the health of our reproductive system. Women are more concerned about this issue, since it is difficult to find one who would never have encountered the problem of vaginal infections. When it comes to depilation of this area, both opponents and supporters of the procedure usually make arguments that reveal the consequences for health.

• Some say that lush hair creates a favorable environment for the development of bacteria, which is not conducive to maintaining health.
• Others believe that epilation breaks down the genitals' insulating barrier against germs and also contributes to an increased risk of infection. Which of them is right?

The answer to this question is not unambiguous and simple. Even gynecologists have different positions. On the one hand, researchers agree that one of the main functions of pubic hair is to protect against germs by creating a certain microenvironment. For example, our distant ancestors did not wear clothes, so the way for harmful bacteria, in the complete absence of pubic hair, was actually open. And nowadays, pubic hair has not lost its “barrier” meaning, unlike hair on the legs or arms.

On the other hand, the hair in the pubic area may actually contain remnants of our own secretion, which can certainly contribute to the development of infections. How to find the golden mean? If you do not want to get rid of all the hair, then you can remove them in the immediate vicinity of the genitals, while be sure to fully observe intimate hygiene. With proper hygienic care, the reproductive organs will in any case be less vulnerable to infection. So, all questions and considerations regarding depilation of the bikini area can be summarized, perhaps, as follows:

this question is purely aesthetic.

The skin of intimate areas is very thin, delicate and sensitive, so not everyone can choose the right method of depilation for themselves the first time.
Soreness and irritation are constant companions of the procedure, so you need to choose the method of depilation for yourself, taking into account the reaction of the body to it. Fortunately, there are many ways to get rid of unwanted hair in the bikini area.
To make the session easier, you need to prepare for it. To begin with, it is recommended to peel the skin - this will remove coarsened particles and improve its elasticity.

Regardless of which type of depilation you choose, it is worth taking a "test drive" in another area of ​​​​the body, such as the ankles. This will give you an idea of ​​how you will need to take care of your skin after hair removal.

In terms of security, it is also worth emphasizing the need to use the services of trusted offices and salons. The choice of staff with a high level of hygiene and professional skills will help us to endure this juicy procedure more calmly.
