Pubic hair

Unread post by GS_6 »

With the removal of pubic hair from my vulva region I find it quite easy, however with any hair near my anus I can find it quite impossible to remove. I've tried to use a mirror, but I can't seem to access that area easily. What should I do?

Hi GS_6,

That's one where using a mirror or, if you're absolutely set on removing it, visiting a professional is a way to remove it safely. Can I ask why you feel the need to remove it? After all, that's going to a lot of effort to remove something that basically everyone has.

I'm 18 and I've never removed hair near my anal region before. There's quite a lot there and when going to the bathroom it can be hard/annoying without my hair getting in the way.

I'm not sure what method you're using to remove it currently, but if you're trying to shave and finding that difficult, you may have better luck using (small, blunt-tipped) scissors to very carefully trim the hair, rather than removing it.

I've deciding to book an appointment with a professional so that they can remove my hair. My hairs quite thick and it's better for it to be removed properly. Thanks all.

Hey there, GS-6: if you want to do this, you might want to wait to do it until the pandemic isn't still at such a peak. Waxing involves very close contact indoors in a small room, so would be very high risk for coronavirus for both you and the worker involved.
