What's the best way to remove pubic hair?

Asked by qualitycontrol (2573points) January 27th, 2009 from iPhone

I want to be clean and smooth but it’s tough cuz I’m a guy what should I do? Do any other guys shave and/or wax down there?

Ugh. Leave it alone.

Clean & smooth is for eight-year olds.

Every guy in every porno is hairless! Do you at least trim? If I don’t it gets way too long

PupnTaco's avatar

I think you’re watching too much porn.

When you mentioned waxing, I thought about the scene in “The 40 Year Old Virgin” where they waxed him and I ended up in the fetal position, shaking.

On a more serious note, I have a generic Norelco electric razor and I use the beard/mustache trimmer to CAREFULLY trim downstairs when the forest is overgrown. Why someone would want to completely shave off all pubic hair is beyond me.

Men + Waxing = disaster.

Trim it up with scissors at least, and then if you want, bic it.

tennesseejac's avatar

I dont know how it hurts, if I need some manscaping done I just lather it up real nice and go to town.

cage's avatar

I used to own the site shaveyours.org Manscaping is absolutely fine.
You’d expect your woman to be clean and tidy down there so why nont your man!.
As @uberbatman says, trim it with scissors and take the next step if you really want.
My personal preference is just to trim. Make it look a bit nicer.
Don’t forget to shave your ahem testes too. You would not believe how amazing smooth balls feel lol
Manscaping does add up to an extra visual inch and a half… it really works!
Go ahead. Top tip… use a mirror. you must be able to see what you;re doing, and don’t go too fast. Take your time.

oh, and don’t make future judgments on what you see in porn

cage's avatar

oh, and I’ve never had a pain down there with it. Nothing worse than shaving my face.

El_Cadejo's avatar

@tennesseejac lurve for manscaping lol

cage's avatar

@uberbatman it’s the correct term!

El_Cadejo's avatar

@cage it still makes me laugh

DON“T TRUST SCISSORS!!!! At least not down there. Use an electric razor.

evelyns_pet_zebra's avatar

As a man who once shaved his entire body just for kicks, I really should write a book about all the things I’ve done just for kicks. I think I might be the one you come to for such a question. That said, shaving that region is best done in the shower, after the area is well moisturized from plenty of water falling down on it, and shave with the hair growth, not against it. Use a quality shaving cream, and be gentle. It sometimes takes several shaving episodes to get it the way you want. Electric razor? Yeoouch! That will just yank the hairs out, not a good idea.

Oh and by the way, never shave your ass, the stubble coming back in will make sitting down very uncomfortable.

My fiancee uses BlueFreedom’s approach and I’m happy with that :)

melanie81's avatar

Yep – trim with scissors first. Then shave in the shower.

I actually like my guy to have a little hair on top (so he doesn’t like like an 8-year-old with an overgrown dong)....but once he shaved his balls and THAT WAS AMAZING

BONZO's avatar

anything is better than someone removing the hair with their teeth and then coming up to kiss you and there is a pube hanging off their lip

Bluefreedom's avatar

@BONZO. Just a bit too much information, perhaps, but thank you for that vivid description anyway. :o)

I’m amused this question was asked by someone named ‘qualitycontrol’.

Permanent cure… so think about it first.

Laser hair removal. Never have to shave again. Can be used anywhere on the body, underarms, legs, bikini area, chest, beard, back, and it is permanent.

Works best on dark hair. Takes about six weeks depending on the size of the area.

mij's avatar

Very carefully, especially if it’s not your own!
Have tissues handy it will make your eyes water…

evelyns_pet_zebra's avatar

@DrBill, funny you should say that. When I worked at a print shop a few years ago (well, ten but who’s counting?) one of our customers was a woman who owned a electrolysis shop said a guy came in to have his pubic hair permanently removed. She of course, refused, and tossed him out after calling him several unkind things.

Laser hair removal sounds like something one would have to shop around for.

DrBill's avatar

I can tell you a great place if your near Paducah KY

Laser is not electrolysis…

evelyns_pet_zebra's avatar

I’m nearer to Paducah than I am Cleveland, but not by much. I know what laser tattoo removal is like, I wouldn’t recommend that sort of pain in my nether regions. Pain in my peculiars is not something I look forward to.

suse's avatar

wax it. I do with a microwave wax kit. follow instructions carefully and be prepared for a brief moment of pain, but just count to ten and rip the wax off. then its all over and it grows back really slow and you dont have stubble which is worse than longer hair. I started about 3 years ago and sat for ages after i put the wax on, too scared to rip it off, but when I did it didnt hurt as much as I thought. I always wax now and so do most of my friends after they have built up the courage to try once.
(i know man pain is worse than female pain tho, so not sure how it will seem to you:)

asmonet's avatar

@suse: It’s not worse, we just have a higher tolerance because we have to push a small watermelon though a hole that at best is the size of a lemon in what is arguably the most sensitive region of any body. Boys are wusses.

Bluefreedom's avatar

@asmonet. I had kidney stones a few years back and the ER nurse told me, “The pain you’re feeling now is the closest you’ll ever get to feeling what a woman goes through when she’s giving birth.”

I have the ULTIMATE RESPECT for women and their pain management during childbirth.

Yes, boys (and men) are wusses, like you said. I’m one of them.

asmonet's avatar

@Bluefreedom: Haha, that’s terrible but I guess there is that silver lining of understanding. :)

tennesseejac's avatar

@Bluefreedom I guess I might as well have had 3 kids because I have passed 3 kidney stones and each time I was balled up on the floor like a “wuss” . On the last one it was a joyous moment when I was peeing through a strainer and this little pebble thing came out. I was suppose to give it to the doctor to run test but I kept it and named him Winston.

asmonet's avatar

One time, I stepped on glass and it hooked into my heel and pulled out a wad of fat. It was still attached on the inside though. I named mine Pepito. I flicked it a lot while I waited for my aunt to come over and fix me up. It was disappointingly nonjiggly.

Naming body chunks is fun!
