Pubic area: shaved, trimmed, or bare?

“Pubic Area: Shaved, Trimmed, or Bald?” was written for BDSMforyou.nl by Mistress Moriah.

In the BDSM community, a lot of shaving goes on. Some people enjoy shaving completely – from head to toe – while others limit themselves to the pubic area. Shaving the pubic area can be a sign of vulnerability and submission within BDSM, but it’s also incredibly practical, of course. So it’s not surprising that a Dominant would request this of a submissive. There are plenty of play scenarios where pubic hair is genuinely inconvenient. Take CBT, for example… I can’t see myself fumbling around in that bush, looking for your little willy. And even if I do, if I use a CBT toy, there’s a huge chance all kinds of hairs will get caught in it. And you’ll be screaming in agony while my neighbors think I’m butchering you.

Schaamstreek: geschoren, getrimd of kaal?

Completely Bald

There are also subs who choose to shave themselves completely bald. This can be part of a submissive experience, but it can also be purely practical. If you have a fetish for candle wax, for example, it’s really much nicer when it’s applied to smooth skin. Picking candle wax out of chest hair is really not that fun. Not for either party, by the way. Or what do you think of needle play on your back if there’s a jungle of hair there? Not a treat for the “pricker” either.

Forced

If you show up unshaven for your appointment with your Mistress and she has plans for you where she can’t use that jungle at all? Then she might just as easily opt for a “forced shave!” Hopla, a dab of shaving cream on, a razor in hand, and off with that hair! Out of sight, out of mind. Let’s just hope she doesn’t have a dull razor lying around specifically for these kinds of occasions. For some, it’s an extra thrill to be depilated in that area with a gentle (ahem) hand! Plucking them out one by one with tweezers is also an option, of course. It just depends on her mood.

How do you safely shave your pubic hair?

Shaving pubic hair requires care and attention to prevent irritation, cuts, and ingrown hairs. Here are some steps you can follow for a safe shaving experience:

Preparation

  • Trim first
  • If your pubic hair is long, it’s helpful to trim it first with a trimmer or small scissors.
  • Warm water
  • Take a warm shower or bath to soften the hair and relax the skin.
  • Exfoliate
  • Use a gentle exfoliator to remove dead skin cells and prevent ingrown hairs.

Shaving

  • Sharp razor blade
  • Use a new or sharp razor blade to reduce the risk of irritation.
  • Shaving cream or gel
  • Use a shaving cream or shaving gel for sensitive skin. This helps the razor glide smoothly over the skin and reduces the risk of cuts.
  • Tighten the skin
  • Tighten the skin while shaving to prevent cuts.
  • Slow movements
  • Shave slowly and carefully in the direction of hair growth to prevent skin irritation and ingrown hairs.

Aftercare

  • Rinse with cold water
  • This helps close the pores and can reduce irritation.
  • Lotion for sensitive skin
  • Use an alcohol-free lotion to soothe the skin.
  • Avoid tight clothing
  • Wear loose-fitting clothing after shaving to reduce irritation.

Using a hair removal cream

There are special hair removal creams designed for use on the pubic area. These creams contain chemicals that break down the hair structure, allowing it to be easily removed without shaving or waxing. Here are some guidelines for using hair removal cream on the pubic area:

Preparation

  • Read the instructions
  • Before using a depilatory cream, read the instructions carefully. Make sure the cream is suitable for the pubic area.
  • Allergy test
  • First test the cream on a small patch of skin (such as your arm) to see if an allergic reaction occurs. Wait at least 24 hours to check for redness or irritation.

Use

  • Clean the skin
  • Make sure the skin is clean and dry before applying the cream.
  • Application
  • Gently apply the cream to the area you want to remove hair from. Avoid contact with mucous membranes, such as the inside of the labia or the penis.
  • Let it sit
  • Let the cream sit for the time specified in the instructions (usually 5 to 10 minutes). Do not leave it on longer than indicated to prevent irritation.
  • Remove the cream
  • Use a spatula or a wet cloth to gently remove the cream. Then rinse thoroughly with cold water to remove all residue.
  • Moisturize
  • After hair removal, you can apply a soothing lotion or cream to reduce irritation.

Aftercare

  • Avoid sunlight and tight clothing
  • After hair removal, the skin may be sensitive. Wear loose clothing and avoid direct sunlight on the treated area.
  • Do not reapply
  • Wait at least 48 hours before trying again, even if some hairs remain. Repeated application of hair removal cream can damage the skin.
