Shaving pubic hair for wedding, better to shave day of or before?

I'm getting married the week before Christmas. I'm a virgin as is my soon to be wife. We are both very religious, and met on a mission trip.
We are both very excited about our upcoming marriage, but also about finally having sex. We've talked openly about sex and what we expect, what we want, etc. My soon to be wife surprised me by asking that I shave my pubic hair and be completely bald for our wedding night and honeymoon. She said she thinks that look will be really sexy on me and it keeps getting her worked up the more she thinks about it.
My question is should I start shaving now so it won't be irritated when the wedding comes? Or will it be okay to shave the day of the wedding? I don't want to be itchy or irritated during honeymoon either so I'm looking for what will be the best option. I've not shaved before but always just trimmed down there.

  • You've about a month before your marriage.

    I would suggest that you start shaving your pubic hair right now. Once a week (depends on how fast does it grow back) at least. Which means you would have shaved it 4 times by then (5 if you start now), so you would be used to it and know better, then you can shave it off on the wedding day again.

  • I would shave now and get use to it. Be gentle use a lot of shaving cream or trim with scissors first. I find it easier to shave when I am erect so you might try that. I would not try it on your wedding day, you have enough to worry about. A few days before is fine. Enjoy the great orgasms when the time comes!

    • by the way I forgot to mention... congrats on getting married I hope you two have a great life together. Have you talked about sex or fooled around a bit (i. e. handjobs) so the first time is not as daunting?

  • I'd start shaving now and keep it shaved. If you've not shaved before it may be a bit irritated but if you keep it going by wedding day it will be fine.
    Also, my husband puts baby powder on after shaving to reduce skin irritation when he shaves. It wears off after an hour or so but it helps believe it or not!

  • I don't know how it is for guys but I will start growing back stubble after shaving like hours after shaving, definitely will have stubble growing back by the next day and it gets pretty irritating then. I guess because of that, I would say shave on the day?

  • Start now and keep it shaved, give your skin a chance to toughen up a bit. Make sure you regularly exfoliate to prevent ingrown hairs and use a sharp razor each time.
    Congratulations on your wedding, I hope it's a beautiful day for you both 😊

  • Yeah, irritation can be a problem, so shave at least 24 hours before you expect to have sex. If you've not shaved before, shave once a week during the weeks leading up, then again one or two days before. Shave once a week thereafter.

  • shave it off that morning before the wedding you'll never be smoother but be careful you don't cut yourself but the bleeding should stop by late at night when you settle down to have sex... it's not dangerous but be careful

  • I agree with Hai_tis-E. A professional wax does a better, cleaner, longer job of it all.

    Boy does it hurt though!

    Go get a wax and see how the rest of us live!

  • Start doing it now so that you get used to it.

  • dont shave it just tidy the edges and length with the scissors ,

  • I think you need to get into it now, right away. Then of course on the day itself too so you are smooth as possible for her as that is what she wants.

  • I wouldn't shave... either get waxed or use Nair the day of. It's almost impossible to shave your balls, and you'll probably have cuts/nicks to deal with.

    • Does Nair burn though?

    • Yes, depends on how long you leave it on and your pain threshold. I think waxing hurts more. If your leaving your balls hairy or trimming them with a shaver... shaving the rest with a razor isn't too bad. Other option is Lazer but that is $$$ and permanent.

  • Keep trimming it until the day and then shave on the day. You will end up irratated though. I'm not into shaved men but you do you.

  • Start early so it'll cut down on any irritation

  • I would do it the night before or morning of (if time permits).

  • Probably would be best to get a wax, shaving is always going to be irritating when it grows back in. Just go get a Brazilian a couple days before hand, it'll hurt like a bitch but it will grow back less irritated.

  • That's a creepy as fuck request, but hey, not going to judge.

    My advice is to go get it professionally waxed at least a day or two before your wedding. Shaving gives you the risk of ingrown hairs and razor burn and you don't want your junk looking like it's collecting all the STDs on your wedding night.

  • Trim it down first. After that, clean shave in the shower the night before the wedding. If you have plenty of time before the wedding, start getting used to a clean shave now. Once you are used to it, it actually itches when the hair starts to grow back, so you will naturally want to keep it shaved.

  • shave it on wedding day

    • if u can stand it waxing is better

  • I use cream or wax but you need someone else to help you. It is worth it especially if she is without hair below

  • before it so its not as raw

  • Do we really need to know those details?
