And for those of you who, like me and my family, get the combo thick as shit hair plus stay so damn moist down there that full bush just feels gross?
Cuz let’s be honest all that smudge that gets caught up in there just feels nasty and frankly leads to the same kind of bacteria/yeasty breeding ground (not to mention all the pulling and twinging of the hair that works it’s way between the the threads of your underwear fabric T.T)
Or honestly any OTHER reason it gives you Bad Texture feels or you just don’t like it, but don’t want to swing so far in the other direction and damage your pores and follicles or cause the other health risks associated with shaving?
Scissors.
I know that might sounds kind of obvious to some but i had NEVER even thought of it before. I hated the way shaving and waxing and nair made me feel, but it was always kind of a toss up between okay, which Bad Feeling will be easier to deal with this month? And then one day i trimmed instead of shaved and it Changed My Life.
Like full serious, if you don’t like all the hair but you don’t want to wax/shave or cause any of the above listed damages, buy yourself a little pair of hair scissors just for your pubic region, and (carefully!) trim it just like short hair. No damage to your follices, no irritation or abrasions, plus no more damp vaginal moisture/splooge (or blood clots!!!!) getting trapped against your skin and drying up in your curls.
I’m serious, my routine yeast infections have practically STOPPED since I switched to this method instead of shaving/waxing OR going full natural.
I hear the “it’s natural and it’s supposed to be there!” argument for going full bush a LOT, but for some of us that’s… just not practical. The article above wonderfully details the problems with the only ways MOST people know to combat the side effects of thick hair + a high moisture content, but if you’re like me and need an alternative I’m SERIOUS treat it just like your head hair just give it a careful little trim and then perhaps a little coconut oil condition (from experience, it catches in fabric much less when softened up)
