Since I wrote about shaving my pussy, for my work as a webcam model , a lot of readers seem to be interested in how to shave so I thought I’d do another post about it, answering people’s questions:
Dear Paige,
How should I shave my pussy, and why should I shave it? Will it make a difference to sex?
Yours,
Full Bush in Fremont
Dear Full Bush,
There are lots of ways to shave your pussy, but I recommend if the hair on your pussy is really thick and long, you should start by using scissors and cut off as much of the hair as you can with it. This will make it a much easier job when you then use a razor to finish getting off the rest of the hair.
After the scissors, I would take a nice, sharp razor (even a disposable will do; a plain, cheap, disposable razor works for me but many of you, you may want to get a fancier shaver. Try several shavers out and pick the best two choices for you.) and shave in the shower, but first make sure your pubic hair is well saturated with water as this will soften up the pubic hairs and make it much easier to shave completely off.
Another great way is to get a thick, wet washcloth and wet it with very warm water, then apply it to your pussy for a few minutes. This will also make it easier to shave the rest of your pussy hair. Always use a sharp, preferably new, razor.
How you position yourself when you shave is up to you. Do whatever you feel is comfortable. I have even shaved sitting on the toilet (not while using the toilet of course!) My legs are spread out and my pussy hair just drops conveniently in the toilet. No mess. No fuss.
Many people use shaving cream while shaving their pussy. It’s your choice but I would never use any chemicals or anything artificial ingredients. Always try to go with 100% all natural ingredients for shaving creams in case your skin is very sensitive and should lessen irritation. Shaving cream with aloe is very good. I just use good quality soap, which works fine for me.
Pick a spot to begin shaving and move the razor over your pussy using long, even strokes with the hair grain. Try not to go over the same patch of skin twice and do not use aggressive strokes; both ways may cause skin irritation. Be very careful when approaching the hard to shave places, like the bottom part of the pussy and just inside the outer pussy lips.
After you have finished going over your pussy once, rinse the entire pussy area to get a better look to see if you missed any hair. Shave over those areas if necessary.
You can apply a moisturizing cream on your pussy to help combat bumps and to help keep your pussy skin smooth and soft.
How often you shave depends on you. I shave every other day to keep my pussy pretty nice and smooth. Just be sure to have lots of time to shave; you never want to be in a hurry and possibly nick your pussy skin!
I guess most women experience at least some itchiness after shaving, although I never have. Using a nice moisturizer should help feelings of itchiness.
I find electric shavers don’t really do a good job in getting a close shave. Plus, shaving the difficult areas might be awkward with electric. Several men have told me they prefer a razor because razor-shaved skin feels so much smoother after they use it.
Why should you shave, and will it make a difference in sex? Well, going all natural IS sexy, in my opinion, but going bald makes for a more pleasant oral sex experience for both partners. I don’t know any person who loves getting pussy hairs stuck on their tongue or caught in their throat (Did you ever see the TV episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm when Larry went down on his wife and got a pubic hair stuck in his throat? He kept hacking throughout the entire episode. It’s so funny!)
Many men are turned on by the sight of a smoothly shaved pussy. To some men, a shaved pussy is very erotic. It’s silky-feeling, inviting and very sexy. Your pussy will feel the slightest touch when bald and make you go wild! It’s a more intense, erotic feel when your pussy is completely shaved.
By the way, recent paparazzi photos seem to confirm that both Paris Hilton and Britney Spears shave, as well as go panty-less. It’s nice to know I have things in common with the rich crowd–now if only I had their money too!
Try it out. If you don’t like the way your pussy looks–no problem. Just let your pubic hair grow back.
Yours truly,
Paige
I’ve shaved the full monty before and find it itches like fury when it grows back, so i usually just do a close trim and shave the sides, which is a bit easier to keep up. I’d recommend, if anyone is partially shaving, make sure to expose the curve of the side of the outer labia – where the mons starts to swell. It’s a really sexy curve! Also, if you are planning a ‘big night’, do your trimming a few days before to give the hair a chance to soften at the ends, so you don’t have the sharp ends of freshly-cut hair poking at your partner.
I, myself, prefer a small landing strip no bigger than the width of your finger. And for the after shave itch, you can try Bikini Zone, or Tend Skin, the latter being available at your local wax place; the former at all major drug stores. Both are a bit medicinal and can sting it you have an in-grown hair, but keep you soft and don’t leave an after taste. An added benefit to Bikini Zone – it makes shaving in the future a little more bare-able….
Thanks so much Mandy Muse and girl about town for the suggestions! 🙂
Hi!
I really like your blog. What about the other option?Do you girls like men to shave or better not…I actually preffer a shaved pussy and I get surprised when I see women nowadays having a bush!
Thanks for the comment Niko.
I don’t care if guys shave or not. Whatever they like.
For me, I could go either way really. If it weren’t for what I did for a living-it being more lucrative for me to be shaven–I’d probably go by what guy I happen to be with decision on whether he’d like me shaved or not. What turned him on better. That’s how neutral I am about it!
i like ur write up on how to shave my pussy.
it is also nice to know that it is better for sex.
i would like to know if its ok to go pant-less.
what about those discharges?
wont one feel sexy all the time.
i feel very horny without my panties on.
would really like to go without them sometimes.
is it ok?
thanks.
nona.
Thanks nona! I don’t know if being shaved makes any difference to being pantyless. I typically don’t wear panties with a skirt most of the time. It’s good to have plenty of natural air circulation and that really reduces problems with discharge. If you’re still having discharge I’d say see your doctor!
I love your blog on shaving.
I’m def. going to try it the way you said.
But as for guys being shaved. I would rather have the guy shave than not. The hair just grosses me out.
Thanks! I didn’t think my blog was about shaving – but it seems that it is now!
I don’t mind guys having hair, but like they say, it’s easier if you don’t have to pick hairs out from between your teeth when you do oral sex!
Let me know how your shaving comes out, remember you have to keep it up to stay comfortable — regrowing is itchy. Seeing as more and more guys prefer bald pussy you might as well keep your pubic hair shaved all the time.
I’m a guy, and being a triathlete, I shave my legs (road rash sucks with hair) and my wife rather likes is now. However, having a hairy crank looked pretty silly, so I’ve been shaving it too. Wife LOVES it. However, I got really bad bumps in the beginning, so I switches to nair for men and use that on my legs near my penis / scrotum and on my pubic hair…but NEVER on the penis or scrotum. That is a really good way to have a chemical burn. Old fashion razor for that.
Frankly, I thought shaving for guys was a little weird, but now, I’ll probably never let it grow back.
Dave
Thanks for the comment David! It’s interesting that the majority of people seem to fall into either “never again” or “never go back”! It isn’t something there is a lot of ambivalence about.
As for nair — someone recommenced it to me for my pussy but I’m not very convinced, I think it’s a “keep away from sensitive skin” type of thing.
I love to shave it all, but I get a little uncomfortable with my pussy lips, since they seem a bit larger than I have seen in pictures. Whats the best “style” so that your pussy looks sexy, without having to shave it all clean off?
Who are you shaving for? Yourself or your lover? Do you or they like it — then that’s the answer. Everybody has a different shaped vulva — and every one is a beauty, to the person (people) who loves it!
hi i hv shaved my pussy with a shaver but i carnt get the little prickkly bits off and it is very tender to touch but i think it is cause i have a very wet pussy i lv my dildo but i carnt ue it cause it makes me squrt to mch and i hv to wash my sheet to get me arroused i like to use sumit cold and nice so last night i experimented on johnsons 24 hour moisture body cream is it ok to get it in me clit and will it make me horny ???
You need to shave regularly before your skin gets used to it — the first few times are sensitive for most people.
It’s great that you are wet and get into different creams — just becareful that nothing burns. I’d say test a spot – leave it on for 24 hours and if you dont have a problem then it’s good to go!
Staying shaved smooth will help to keep you horny and makes it less messy to use lubes and lotions when you are playing with yourself.
hey, i have marks and stuff from before when i used to shave my pussy badly so now i think i just have the ugliest pussy. idk thou =( is that normal for people? i also get bumps when i do shave and i hatee itt .. help?
You’ve got permenant marks? Then that wasn’t shaving hair, that was shaving off skin! I know it’s easy to do but if you scratch the skin or bleed then really you’re going too too close.
Don’t shave when there are bumps, wait until they go down — that may take a while, but eventually it will get faster.
If you’re not happy with that then use an electric at it’s most “sensitive skin” setting.
But if this whole thing does not work for you then of course there is no laws that say you have to shave. Maybe trim is better for you — or full bush is certainly a valid option that many people (men and women) enjoy too.
hey, My name is David and I was wondering about guys shaving… i mean, I know it is a bit different for us. I try and try and try, but I mean, I can never get close on the first or sencond try… What is up? I mean, I when I tried to shave all my hair around my penis, all i see are little black spots of what used to be where the hair was growing, and I can never get to them….. I want to try hair remover, but then, I burns like hell…… is there anything I can do to get a close shave without having to see the spots of hair that used to be there? ANy info pleasz.. .. .. . .thanks
It’s not something I know a lot about, guys I know who shave all shave themselves! I’ll have to ask.
Hey paige, i shaved my pussy bout 5 days ago now and it was soo smooth for that day and i applied dove moisterisa on it after, the next day it started gettin bumpy and day after that my hair started cumin bak through so it’s bristly and i have bumps and sum red spots around, should i wait before i shave again, and is there anyway which i can stop this from happening??
concerned: I answered you here: http://www.model-chat.com/red-bumps-after-shaving-pubic-hair-131.html
I just wanted to let you know that your post has helped me out incredibly. Your the 1st place I have come to that actually recommends something for the aftershave bumps. All the other sites just say “wait it out”. If I did that I think I would scratch my pussy off. The Bikini Zone really does help and so does that aftershave lotion meant for black guy’s skin. Any way I just thought I would thank you.
not worried about “how”. i wnt to know if i *should*. my hair down there has just started growing. i am 13. should i shave it? will it be good for me or bad for me. all the girls i see in pictures have it shaved. i’m too shy to ask my mum but i did peek her in the shower and i think she is shaved. none of my friends in school have done it. i don’t have a boyfriend yet but if i do i don’t want him to think i’m strange. please help!!!
I need some help in shaving my peins and balls??? I’ve shaved before and there’s still hair the razor dosn’t pick up, and it always itches like right after I shave it. How do I get it to where it’s smoth, and I it’s not itchey????? What way should I shave it, and should I use a razor when I do it, or just use wax on it?????
plz girls it is wastage of time
Could you show as live how to shave a thick hairy pussy. I have brown colour near my pussy and ass and on legs near the pussy.
I hope you advice me how to make this places more white and I am living in Egypt no medicin for this brown colour
age25
I don’t shave, I’m pretty happy with it; I’ve shaved but felt awkward and not as nice with a shaved pussy, so I decided to go all-natural. I also like an un-shaven man. If he shaves, I won’t dislike it, but it just feels manlier to me.
Plus, if you are 13… there is no need to shave… really. For whoever that was up there. You don’t have to impress anyone, you (and your pussy) is fine the way it is… unless it is stinky… and that is either sanitary or something you should check with your doc.
is plucking safe for the pussy?
I have tried so many peoples tips but no matter what I do or used, My pussy always bleeds when I shave it. I need more help.
Wow Tanya that sounds bad. Bleeding means you are cutting yourself, so I guess with a razor blade? Maybe your skin just can’t take it. Try pulling your skin tight, shaving WITH the grain, and of course just holding the razor just more gently.
You might not get it so clean like that but you can’t keep injuring yourself!
Look after yourself girl, and that part in particular — It works just fine with Hair as well you know. 🙂
I would love to shave again, but I can’t see my pussy anymore because my stomach is so big!
My girlfriend has never shaved until recently. She stopped having sex with me a while ago. She was never the type to shave. I did notice she has fully shaved now. What is up? Is this for another guy?
I’ve met this awsome chick, she even shaved her cooch for me! It’s the best time ever, she said her old bf was boring and wouldnt eat it… now that she’s shaved, I munch it and punch it. Her shaved snatch is so hot and sweet, I don’t know about the old BF, but he must be a tard.
🙂
Hi Paige. I’ve been shaving for years and fall in the “never go back” category. But I was so busy last week, it was one of the things I let slide and sure regretted it the other night. IMO, a woman who has never tried shaving doesn’t know what she’s missing in the sex department. My outer labia is about medium, or a little larger, in size and when there’s hair it has very little sensation. When it’s all shaved clean, WOW! the sensation is absolutely everywhere. Anyway, I decided to dedicate yesterday evening to doing a perfect clean-up job (having blond hair *from a bottle* on my head and brown hair down there, you can see why I say clean-up). Thought I’d do a little research on the Internet first and found your terrific blog. My shaving technique is different but couldn’t find another like it — am I all alone? I shower and pat dry, then lightly dust the whole area with corn starch (never talc) on a large puff and begin shaving with the grain — always use a new disposable razor, one I really like — then go back over against the grain. I always use a light touch and short strokes. After I’m done, I rinse off really well, pat the area dry and dust with corn starch again. I have tried moisturizers, but they all sting a little. The corn starch feels very good and skin is smooth as silk. I am ready for this evening… 🙂 I’ve never tried wet shaving, probably because it seemed like too big a job to do every day. But I’m keeping an open mind and want to give your method a try. Thanks for sharing and your very good details. Love your site.
hi,
I liked the blog on shaving, I have a question on how to finnish off so that my pussy looks like a porn star pussy. I like to shave the sides and I cut down where I can, but I would like to know how to get the hair straight and not as think if I wanted to leave a trail in the middle. In other words, how do I look like I have much much less hair…Italian girl here, I am very hairy and thick. It’s driving me nuts, I’d like to have some hair, not bald, not too ahiry. Not sure if you get the idea. thanks
I just want to say that I love shaving my pussy. It feels so much better to have sex right afterwards. I ama lesbian and my woman loves eating me out right after I shave. It makes it more sensitive fo me and she doensn’t have to pick hair out of her mouth when she’s done. I also just like rubbing my hands over my shaved pussy. It feels so soft and smooth. It’s great.
HI
I really love this website, its really down to earth. I am very worried about shaving my pussy. whenever i shave it the next time it grows it some how becomes more thick, grows faster and it grows all over !!! i dont know what to do at this moment im leaving it unshaved because i am scared it will grow to the side of my hips. Please let me know what i should do.. its really affected my life.
Thanks for your comments. I am trying to help my gf so I am not in pain. My gf does shave but has sharp edges. it’s damaging. I am not sure how to tell her yet. we are new partners. the first time hurt me due to the sharp edges. I am hoping to find a way to tell her.
I love shaving my pussy. I take my time, soak in the tub for a while. It makes be feel sexy and horny. I use lots of shaving cream and moisturizer. I usually finish off in the shower and play with myself until I have an orgasm. OOOOH. sooooo..good!
hey, when you said to shave with the grain – and not the opposite way – i’ve tried that . but it never truly works the way i want it to. theres always left over little hairs you know? thats why i always shave backwards . its super smooth for the first day but than it jus qrows back and stuff quick ! its fcukinq annoyinq lol . i definently ADVISE ppl not to shave backwards either ! i have a few marks from that.. bumps from that is annoyinq to ? [ inqrowns )* but anyways . i have a question .. is this normal ? or am i jus hairy lol .. like the hair doesnt stop at my pussy it kind of qoes to my ass? its so annoyinq ! i qot to shave like everywhere =[ * TEARS* so much work lol . and what mosturizer should i buy to put on after i shave? i really want to get it ! any other tips on shaving plz let me no!
I’ve recently started shaving and I love it! I started gradually so just the bikini line and added more w/ each shave, I’ve almost got all of it now and it feels amazing! I thot it was funny but I do have beauty marks all over my body and the thought never occurred to me that I’d have any in that area but I totally noticed 3 and was like “ok that is awesome!” There are none in my bikini area and ya so it was just a really cool find for my part.
and jusxt mee…my hair goes to my ass whole too, it is very annoying. I foudn that if i squat (which I do in the tub) and angle a mirror in the right direction I can see what I need to see and can get everything that way too. I also agree that shaving w/ the grain doesn’t work well enough, I shave against it and I get the bumps too but unless I’m having sex that day I don’t worry much about them. They do go away. I did read somewhere that if you rinse w/ warm water and then rinse again but w/ cold water it’ll close up the pores and you shouldn’t get in-growns. It may decrease bumps too I’m not sure about that.
I know it’s not good to just use soap and read that added conditioner and making a good lather should work just as well, that’s what I’ve been doing and I’m fine so far…*knocks on wood*
Ya I think that’s all I’ve got for now. Nice blog! Shaving rocks!
thanks a lot new shaver =)
i am going to try the squat thing, i think i have before it works good but its fucking annoying !! lol .. i’m mad as we get older we get hair in places we never had before =[ im 15 so im not that old but you know lol ..
but thanks alotttt ” new shaver ” ..
ohh the waxinq thinq ! im scared to get a full body wax – that shit will hurt ! an does it do a good job to the area below ?
im recently goign to loose my v. to my boyfriend of many yearss ..
so im tryinq to make it look riqht
but he likes hair?!
he a weirdo =)
soo idk what to shave i mean i will shape it up cuz it gets ” unruly ish ” you know?
butt people!
if you ” like hair ” you know how there is hair below the clit and stuff not below exactly but to the sides.. i have a question shud i shave thatt ? it would look weird with hair on the top than nothinq on the side? lmaoo ughh HELP !!!!
Just an update from my previous post.
If you don’t like squatting putting on leg up on the side of the tub works too, not as well tho so you’ll prolly have to bend forward a bit to open your butt cheeks.
Also, I don’t know if my skin is just getting used to being shaved now or if I’m learning to use the right amount of pressure or if I’m using more shaving cream but I don’t get bumps anymore…not sure why really they just stopped showing up.
Also (another also lol) I have found that i can shave my lips and anal area without shaving cream, altho this is prolly not too safe, but I don’t get any bumps in those areas w/ or w/o cream. Just make sure to use lots and lots of water.
So I use the cream on the main area below my stomach but that is all and yes that’s right now bumps anymore! Woot!
Yeah after a while your skin gets used to it and no more bumps and you don’t need to use so much soap and cream or anything.
i love to eat a nice shaved pussy,,ummmmmmmmmmm
no nasty hair,,,just yummy pussy to suck on
Hey! I tried to shave and I got a lot of bumps. My boyfriend likes it when its shaved but everytime I shave it gets bumpy. And then it looks extremely ugly. So what should I do? I have to shave or he’ll hate eating me out. And if I do shave i get ugly red bumps. I have tried different moisturizers and different shaving creams but all they do is burn. So I’m really confused.
If I let my hair grow back, it hurts like hell. And its so itchy. Please help!!!
Oh and for the guys who are wondering whether its hot or not to shave, i think its pretty hot and if your trying to give a blowjob, it gets pretty sick when your face keeps hitting those little hairs like ever 3 seconds. so PLEASE shave! and PLEASE help me!!!
