When my husband and I went on our baby moon we saw a bunch of commercials for the schick hydrosilk trim style razor and I kept commenting on it. It was a weird commercial of three women standing in front of bushes and trimming them. when we came back, he surprised me with one. How sweet. It actually works pretty well! But how weird is it that we can't see our vaginas now?
I'm impressed you can still maintain down there. It's like a 3 ring circus between Mirrors razors and belly to try and get anything done! Half of me wants to suck up the pain and get a wax job done
While in reality I don't care and know whatever will be will be... I do have a little fear over the fact that my lady bits are in that awkward stage of needing managing before I'm induced yet not being grown out enough for a wax. So I will have a gorgeous mix of razor burn, missed spots and who knows what else come labor time.
Today I decided to go for the bikini wax. I have been rocking the splotchy shaving job for a while but now that I'm going swimming on weekends I'd like to know with 100% certainty that I don't have a forest exploding from the leg holes
Shaving today seriously took way longer than it should have. I'm too chicken for a wax so I'm just going with it, my only motivation is for stitches not looks. As a nurse I can tell you NO ONE cares what it looks like haha.
@Backbypopulardemand Screw the mirrors, I've been shaving by feel for the past 6 weeks or so. I haven't cut a piece of it off yet, so I'm counting that as a success.
Oh the hubs has had to help in that department. I tried the electric razor and somehow nicked myself... I'm gonna probably get a wax mid July so hopefully things aren't too crazy when I go into labor.
Tried to do some maintenance, left with some really bad ingrowns. Can't see what's going on down there to try and help the little buggers out, other than exfoliate, so what products are you ladies using? I've been staying away from Cat C drugs (like benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid) and unsure about tea tree (heard mixed things). Any recommendations, ladies?
I can barely maneuver my body to shave my legs! Everything has been left untouched for about 2-3 months now and will stay that way u til this belly is gone lol. Bring on the 70s bush look!
I know I need maintenance down there, but I have no energy left to try. I think I will make DH help with the electric razor just to trim things up, but it will in no way be pretty I'm sure
I've also been shaving by feel the last few weeks and so far there have been no incidents. I like your idea @thepen15ismighty about using the mirror to double check.
y'all are crazy with where you're putting razor blades right now. It's au naturale over here except for my bikini line. I occasionally use a trimmer to keep things neat and tidy, but shaving???? No. NOPE.
I use the shick intuition razor with the built in soap/shave cream I've had no problems at all by just using that and going by feel!. I can't handle the itchiness of hair down there!!
Awww, "vagina presentation," one of the best threads ever Memories.
I am a mess and keep thinking about cleaning things up a bit, but then just continue to not care. I usually use the trimmer on my husband's shaver to at least keep the bush smaller. I may give it a go this week. He also offered to help me out but this somewhat terrifies me. I've seen him cut his neck with a razor. I don't like the thought.
I wish my husband wanted to help me! He's too scared. I tried cleaning things up but I end up missing spots. He thinks it's hilarious. He called me "patches" last week. Haha not funny.
My husband offers to help but I'm terrified. I'd say I don't want to ruin the magic but I'm fairly confident whatever is happening down there is less than magical
Still shaving, mostly by feel. I find it easier to just maintain once every couple days rather than let it get overgrown and have to knock down a bush... Twice a week with a couple quick razor swipes is all it takes. But I'm not super hairy to begin with.
Since I am having a c-section, the area needs to be shaved. I'd rather do it than the nurses. Plus I don't want to deal with the itchiness of it growing in or the mess of cleaning it the few weeks after giving birth. I've been using lots of shaving cream and going by feel. No problems yet!
Still hairy. My attempts at trimming what I call the "tiny hair dick" that forms when the bush gets out of control left me patchy and sad. I'm done here. Where's our "F this I'm done" thread? Sh!t is more than real. Enough is enough.
Success this morning. Although keeping the landing strip is the hardest part. I feel like taking it all off would actually be easier. I wouldn't be left guessing if it should stay or go just by feel. OFF WITH IT ALL! Or go full bush. Decisions decisions....
I shaved my bikini line and legs for our beach trip last week. It seriously took way too long and I had to use a mirror for most of it. I'm not even trying to handle shaving my lady parts anymore! My legs are hard enough to shave these days.
Off the topic but totally relateable, my girlfriend went into the gyno to get her yearly checkup and wanted it to be clean down there and lotioned up after a shower. During her appointment she noticed the doc acting rather puzzled but quickly concluded the exam and left the room. My friend was bothered as to why the doctor had reacted in such a way and realized when she got home that she used shimmer body lotion instead of her cocoa butter lotion right next to it. Her vag looked like a damn christmas tree.
I gave up shaving the region way before I got pregnant. I can't even imagine dealing with ingrown hairs on top of everything else that sucks right now. Or razor burn. Fuccckkk that.
@PootsDragon I totally snort laughed at "tiny hair dick" hahahaha.
I tried like a week ago just by feel and I think that may be the last time I try. Shaving my legs is bad enough right now! @Jodi1980 thanks for making me pee myself a little
This is my favorite shaver/trimmer to use. I've nicked myself maybe once or twice using it because I wasn't holding the skin taut enough. I use it solely on my arm pits because my pits are apparently delicate little flowers that get razor bumps when I even look at a razor and consider shaving my pits with one.
Shaving only when I need too. It's such a chore these days. I love all the responses and that we are all in the same boat! I shaved for the beach mothers day weekend and shaved again last week because I had an appt where I knew they were going to check my lady bits. I shave mostly by feel and hope to god I don't cut myself then I stand up in the bathtub and use the mirror that's in the bathroom and try to shave that way for any missing parts. Its still a crazy mess! I always ask DH afterwards "How did I do" we get a kick out of it. It is what it is LOL
