I hate how shaving scratches.

I might do it for my legs in case of "emergency" () but never down here.

If needed and have no time, I use a depilatory cream.

But then it depends on everyone's way of life. I live 200m from the beach so go about everyday (day off or after work) from april to mid-october, bikini is an important item of clothing here

This year was different, of course.

I would do a brilliant but I am scared of being in pain plus I basically do it for myself and try and keep groomed down there. I don't shave down there a lot maybe once a week

What is a brilliant?

And again, it is not painful, merely disagreable and it is done in a very short time.

Or maybe I have better resistance to pain

Ok, so I chickened out on the Brazilian Wax, I'm sorry. What I might have to do is probably try getting my underarms waxed first as a trial. Not that I have much of a desire to have hair-free underarms, but it's inexpensive and less hair. So it's a good test to see how well I can bear the pain of waxing...

If you're so afraid of wax, just try hair removal cream. Painless although it lasts for about five days. inexpensive and efficient.

Is that safe to use "down there"?

Never had any problem or discomfort. Just respect the timing and then wash with a loofah or something similar.

Used to smell bad, but now there's a lot of choices, some odorless, some floral, etc.

But as I said, it doesn't last long since it only destroys de hair not the bulb. But lasts longer than razor and so much more comfortable, not stubbling.

Has anyone tried sugaring? I saw a place near where I live that does it for men and their reviews on yelp are pretty good. Based on my research, while not pain-free, it's not as painful as waxing.

I never heard of a man doing it....but I've tried it. It's less painful cause it doesn't pull on your skin like a brazilian does...AND it's no chemicals so it's a little easier on your skin IMO. There's less risk for infection because there is no wax being pulled off from the skin, it's all at the root.....tho tbh even with brazilian waxes IMO results & comfort will be on the quality & technique of the esthetician. The bad part is that it's not quite as smooth as a brazilian wax.......& you have to do it a little more often.
