Shaving Ques

Alright ladies! This is a bit of a personal/TMI question!

When it started getting to the point where you just couldn't bend enough to do a great shaving job in you ladies parts, what did you end up doing?

I am debating trying Nair because waxing just terrifies me, so does the thought of trusting DH with a razor down there.

Re: Shaving Ques

  • H has told me for years he would shave me when I got pregnant. when I asked, he was too scared to do it!

    but really it wasn't until the last 2 months that I couldn't see down there. I got a bikini wax once and then just let it all go.

    I kept saying that as soon as I could see again I was going to shave it all off, but after I had the baby the last thing I wanted to do was put a razor anywhere near my vag!

  • Possibly one of the trimmers that you can't really cut yourself with but it would help slightly? Then you don't need to necessarily see, but could try to maintain things a bit.

    I've only brought up painting my toenails to DH. I barely trust him with a harmless paint brush, let alone a razor. :)
  • I haven't been able to see since early on this time around. I got waxed once and hated it so that's out. I just go at it blindly, but I rarely bother. Nobody of importance is going there and I don't really give a shit about the dr's. They don't care, I don't care. Pregnancy and birth don't go along with dignity and pride.
    Thanks to our wonderful RE our family is complete!

  • I just did it by feel.  If I missed a bit, no big deal.

  • Schick trimmer when I wasn't feeling lazy, otherwise I just let it go.

  • Haha thanks ladies!!! Luckily I have a bench right now in the shower but this baby is low so I don't know how long I will be able to see exactly what I'm doing!

  • I use a beard trimmer with a guard to keep things tidy and go by feel and use a hand mirror to make sure things aren't crazy.

  • I've been pretty lucky in that I can still see what I'm doing.  However, I will probably just turn to the feel and shave once I can't.

    I've looked into getting a brazilian, but can't pull myself to spend the money on it every 5-6 weeks.

    The European Wax Center has packages. I usually buy a student pass (since I am still a grad student), which is buy 3 get 1 free. They also have buy 9 get 3 free or something. So I buy a package and only pay tip each time.
