I alternate between shaving and waxing.
A day before shaving, I make sure to exfoliate with a loofah, just to hell get rid of any dry skin that clings to the hair follicles.
2 Days before waxing I exfoliate lightly. I alternate because I have extremely sensitive skin and I do react poorly to wax. I don't know why. I've even had my legs and armpits waxed and I react badly.
So I typically stick with shaving. My boyfriend asked me to try a landing strip, which actually makes grooming easier tbh. Shape the landing strip and then trim. And maintain the landing strip by trimming on the reg. And shaving around it of course.
My favorite razor to use is this Schick razor:

I've never gotten cuts on my legs/underarms/bikini line/labia when using it. I use the EOS shaving cream. I love it, but a lot of people complain about it giving out when it starts to go down (the levels). So the pump starts to not work. I've been lucky enough to get bottles that work perfectly fine and I use them till I run out.
I would shave every other day and wax once a month (about). My hair grows back fast though.0 0 0 0I shave everything once a week. Disposable razor. I don't really get razor bumps...sometimes along my bikini area but that's about it. I've never understood the landing strip. If you're down there and shaving, why not shave it all? Plus it looks weird.
Different guys like different things though. I shave because that's what I like and feel comfortable with. It's really up to you.1 0 0 0Landing strip usually for me. I shave every week and a half or so and trim every few days. I use acne spot treatment to surface ingrown hairs, an ingrown hair gel twice a day, and use antibacterial body wash and exfoliate daily to try and prevent them. It's a ton of work
I would get waxed but my skin is super sensitive and reacts to wax. Salon or store bought.0 0 0 0Salon. That DOES sound like a ton of work! I hope my skin can handle the wax lol. What kind of exfoliation and gels and stuff should you use for waxes? And when do you apply/how often?
Just any old sugar scrub and one of those exfoliating gloves is what I use but they'll be able to recommend something for you at the salon better than I would. For ingrown hair gel I use just whatever from the drug store with salicylic acid for razor bumps and ingrown hairs. There aren't a lot of options where I live so I would ask the salon to recommend something for that too
I wouldn't worry though! You'll likely not be like me hahah I have sensitive skin and curly hair so I'm super prone to ingrowns. Hope the waxing works out for you!

I'm not a girl I had laser hair removal on my bikini area lol I feel weird saying that my groin area and it's the best thing I've ever done no stinking hair to shave, wax, or use Nair to get rid of I suggest getting laser hair removal for anyone male, or female it's costly at first, however with the easy payment arrangements and financing options it's not that bad I got it done when I was 19 been hair free ever since I like it now the only thing I shave is my face! :D

5 1I just trim so that it's a little shorter and shave around the bikini line in the summer so no hair is poking out. My boyfriend doesn't mind the hair and if you don't want to shave, don't feel like you have to.
0 0 0 0I also just trim around the bikini line and my lips. I would suggest you do only what you feel comfortable doing and never what a boyfriend wants you to do. Shaved or unshaven a guy might complain a bit, but they will still go for the pussie.
0 0 0 0I shave it
0 0 0 0I occasionally pick it out of my teeth.
0 0 0 0I usually shave the lips and the bikini line with a razor and then use a hair trimmer set to 3-4 mm to trim the rest.
0 0 0 0I am on medication that prohibits waxing. If I were to wax it would pull my skin off, no joke. I trim and shave the sides with shaving cream and disposable razors every other day or so. I also use a solution called Hibiclens to prevent follicular infections.
0 0 0 0Oh my god that is terrifying x.x
I know, right? I'd love to be hairless down there but it ain't gonna happen.
