TMI-shaving question

ladylisalt

Anyone else starting to have trouble grooming below? I realized tonight I am at that turning point where my belly is starting to over too much. What do you ladies do to keep it neat! I just can't bring myself to go get waxed before pregnancy, never mind during.

I'm still shaving and I'm sure doing a fine job...can you read my sarcasm? LOL! It's a hack job down there seriously considering a wax job. Ouchy :-(

I bought this during my last pregnancy and love it!

Hopefully that's clicky.

And I was a traditional waxer and had no problems with the pain but waxing during pregnancy is 10 million times more painful - I would highly recommend not doing it. Something about increased blood flow? Just...beware

sensoregurl - thanks for the tip on this... I also get waxes and was planning to continue.  I will see how it goes at my next appt but good to know it may hurt more and may have to find an alternative!

I was waxing before pregnancy but that is out the window now. I'm continuing to do my blind shaving but I know it's not pretty.

I do have something similar to this. Maybe Panasonic brand. It does help a lot but still feels like the blind leading the blind. Luckily this is temporary for all of us. Its a good incentive not to get too fat. lol

I'm still waxing with no issues(but not Brazilian)

Honestly? By baby 3 I just gave up.

Just make sure you don't have the "sat on a cat" look in a bathing suit and don't worry about the rest. The baby and your OB don't care if its a jungle down there.

Once I get to where I can see what I am doing...it's more like close your eyes and hope for the best.

Yep, pretty much here too.

oh, yeah, when I "gave up" it was winter. I kind of forgot about the swimsuit issue for people further along in the summer. Have DH help????

I have a trimmer, but I still manage to nick myself with it. There's a lot more blood when I do that now, but I need to keep it under some control. I've given up on shaving more than the bare minimum and bought a maternity swim skirt.

My husband takes care of it for me! Lol

I have heard ppl recommend this before, however, I would be so nervous he would knick me or get too close,etc. I guess if you want it done better you have to go this route. Thanks for sharing.

Too funny, I just noticed this issue this week.  I have never been a person who goes the waxing path and just try to keep up with the lanscaping weekly but I really was stretching this weekend trying to see everything.  It was difficult.  I am just trying to use feel and maybe get out a mirror next time.  I would just let it go but it is swimsuit season and I like to keep things well maintained down there for the husband

lol the part where you said I keep it maintained for my husband made me giggle. At this point, as I am waddling along I feel like thats the last thing I am thinking about. Good for you, I should probably have that mindset too.
