Bare down there.....

Ok, I got a question... Gee, no kidding, right...


I shave myself bare. Since my surgery and taking the steroids, I seem to be a little puffy. It seems hard to get a good close shave without leaving stubble. I've seen women mention they use a depilatory. I've looked at all of the different ones in stores and they all say to keep away from genital area. So what give? Do you know?

Personally I'm a little afraid of the depilatory creams. I've wanted to try waxing, but not really sure how to go about it.

When I shave I use shaving cream/foam and a Quatro razor. I have discovered that if I want a really close shave it's best if I take a bath and shave while underwater (strange I know)

I tried the Quatro, me personally, I didn't like it. I got a closer shave with the three blades.


I am puffy from taking Prednisone. I had a kidney transplant the beginning of April.

Hi and welcome tatiana. It's so nice to meet you. Stick around and jump in anytime. The people here are awesome. We're like a big happy family...


Hey, if that works for you then it's not strange! You should try the waxing. It really isn't that bad, well, depending on your pain tolerance. Some day to take aspirin or motrin

omg...I do the same thing....I use one of those razors that has the conditioning strips, so I start standing up, and give it a once over, but then i get down in the tub, and finish it off under water...I don't know why it works either, but it does...now I have tried lots of different things...but it is always back to shaving for getting it nice and smooth..now I am still working up the courage to go for a brazilian...I hear they are the best....
