Let me start with a disclaimer: you don’t have to shave your bikini line, you don’t have to remove your pubic hair, you can choose to accept your body in all its natural beauty–leg hair, arm hair, pubic hair, and all. Because what one does (or doesn’t do) with their body is deeply personal- waxing, shaving or going au naturale.
But if you’ve stopped your salon appointments for the past five months and have taken to shaving, you might have also realised that your bikini area is more prone to getting razor bumps. This is because erogenous zones are delicate and sensitive, so they’re prone to all of the unwanted side effects of using improper tools such as a too-dull razor or the wrong kind of shaving cream. And no one wants a shallow cut or a razor burn in any part of the body, much less down there.
Here Are The Best Products You Need To Groom Your Pubic Area
Bikini Trimmer For Smoothness
This bikini trimmer is great if you want to keep your hair length short. It has a click on comb that’ll help you detangle your hair and even has a shaving head for a completely clean look. It comes with its own cleaning kit so you don’t have to worry about hygiene and it’s battery-powered so there’s no need for extra wires.
Natural Shaving Cream For Razor Glide
This Forest Essentials Shaving Cream Sandalwood & Orange Peel is rich in moisture and it’s all-natural. It lathers up well and protects the skin from irritation by making the razor glide smoothly. It’s enriched with fresh sandalwood paste, fresh citrus extract, and aloe vera juice calming and soothing your skin, especially the sensitive bikini area.
Calming Oil Especially For Your Intimate Areas
Your vulva has a very particular pH level that needs to be maintained to keep it healthy, so this Intimate Calming Oil has been formulated by doctors and gynaecologists to do just that. Formulated with super oils known for their skin-soothing properties, give your skin a nice massage with this to calm it down and avoid irritation.
For Those Of You Who Don’t Like Shaving
If you aren’t a fan of shaving, epilating is a good alternative. This epilator by Braun can be used on the whole body, so you may want to try it on other parts before using it on sensitive areas. Because this pulls out the hair rather than shaving it, it does hurt a bit. But it also gives a super-smooth finish so you should give it a go if you don’t mind a little pain.
Wipe It Down
These are personal wipes that are 98% natural and perfect to use at home and on-the-go. They don’t have glycerin, sulfates, alcohol, parabens, MIT preservatives, or phthalates that could cause harm to your skin. Use these to maintain the pH level of your bikini area to keep it hygienic and happy.
Your bikini area is extra sensitive so make sure you give it some extra TLC!
