We often find ourselves in really awkward positions whilst trying to shave our down-below. In our society, we are convinced that we are not to have hair on our bodies other than our heads and faces. With how much we shave, you would think we would start evolving without the unwanted hair (wishful thinking).
Sometimes shaving can be burdensome, actually it often can, but it’s sometimes necessary to clean up that bikini line. For instance, college spring break, gotta keep it smooth or else you’ll have a few playing peek-a-boo with everyone at the beach!
Why Pick Trimming Over Shaving
Sometimes we desire to looked cleaned up down there without the complete annoyances that come along with shaving; after all, it’s not like we’re always trying to hit the beach! Most of the time, a simple trim will do. In my opinion, it’s better to trim instead of shave and here’s why:
- No razor burn: At the tippity top of my list is razor burn, because that stuff is the worst! Especially on our lady parts, ouch! With trimming, there’s no razors grazing the tops of your oh-so-sensitive hair follicles.
- No razor bumps: Naturally, the next thing we think of is razor bumps, you know, those red, pimply things that tend to appear shortly after shaving as the hair grows back into the skin, and that occasional ingrown hair. (ouch again!) With trimming, you’re not taking the hair right up to the skin, unless you’re going for the four o’clock shadow look, of course! You can still get some here and there, but not as likely as with shaving.
- Faster: Trimming is faster than shaving and you don’t have to worry about accidentally missing a few hairs.
- No itchiness: Nothing compares to the uncomfortable itchiness of that hair growing back, especially if you’re wearing the wrong kind of underwear for such occasion. Because the hair is not growing back from the surface, you don’t have to worry about the itch!
- No surprise cuts: That feeling when you know what you just did, yeah, you won’t get that with trimming. Razors are quite the awkward shape for the delicate area which often leads to cuts.
