susan asks :

I've just started shaving. What is the best thing to use to shave a vagina? Is the shaver the best? Thanks

You can do several things here. The first, is a razor, but make sure that you are careful when using this, especially around the sensitive areas like your clitoris. One slip and you end up cutting yourself. Perhaps use a mirror to see what you are doing to avoid disasters.

 A razor?

A razor?

Book in for a wax. Shaving takes off the top of the hair so it will grow back quicker and thicker making it itchy. If you get into the habit of waxing this will slow the hair growth down and be a lot more thorough at getting rid of the hair. People who wax generally go every six weeks as opposed to shaving every few days.

If you feel a little nervous with a razor, you could shave to you’re bikini line and then trim the rest with a hair trimmer. You can buy these specifically designed for the bikini area.

You could also use hair removal cream, however make sure you read the instructions carefully first, for the length of time you should put it on for and the preparation.

Either way, make sure that you moisturise afterwards as any of these can be abrasive on the skin, so lather it on the area to keep it supple!
