How do you shave your 'down yonder area'?

[Sagres]

I used hair removal cream and applied it standing in front of the mirror - seemed to work well. I used a few different brands that a got from the chemist/supermarket and never had any issues (I have sensitive skin).

[Traveller]

I used Nair once, and was a little overenthusiastic with it. Can I just say OOOOOWWWWWWWWW when you get too much cream, ahem, too close to the action point

In the end I just stopped trying to get rid of it. It was hard enough to tie my shoelaces I don't think I shaved again until the twins were a few months old as action was the furthest thing from my mind.

omg, im in need of the loo reading these replies lol...i must admit that i am a shaver, i cant bear the thought of getting waxed, although i guess it be better in the long run...Hubby bought me a trimmer a few years ago and i have to say it was one of the best pressies he has ever bought.much safer than taking off the whole lot with a big bump in the way lol and when i cant reach i just have a shower and then get hubby to do the rest..lol....

LOL glad to see someone else asked the question.. I am nearly 24 weeks and can JUST still manage to shave mine in the shower at this stage (my bump is slow growing..). Think mirror and razor option is the gunna be next best thing, or just go by feel.

Unfortunately i don't have a DP or DH to help me out one of my girlfriends offered months ago to help when i got to this stage, but i don't speak much with her now, it would be a bit odd turning up and saying 'can you shave my nether regions plz'

hey clover, I wonder if in my situation FOB wants enough involvement to partake in such 'maintenance duties' in order for me to be happy whilst pregnant LOL. it is totally in the best interests of the child......... I'm sure he doesn't wanna be born struggling to emerge through a jungle.. the trip down the canal is hard enough!

haha nah in all seriousness, ill see how i go with the mirror, feeling my way etc. and if i get over it and give up ill request a nice nurse (or my midwife) can do it in time for the delivery. i don't wanna be hairy in labour. gotta get a good view on my cam corder......

haha bubs is kicking me right now. must think i'm funny too

[boobaloo]

i didn't really bother too much until the night before dd's c/s, i went in for a brazillian, the chickie reckoned she didn't have time, so just did a bikini wax, which was a waste of time and money, and i ended up squatting in the shower doing the feel-and-shave...

[jesses_girl]

Lol i sat on the bathroom floor with the mirror pulled out of the bathroom cupboard with a torch shining on my ahem... so i could see properly because the light in the bathroom is really dim, wasnt fun i can tell you that, especially the night before i was induced at nearly 42 weeks!

[~clover~]

Meh, I wouldn't worry too much. I've never cared much. They can kiss my butt if they have a problem with it. They see these things every day, I can imagine there would be alot of women out there with worse forrests than mine, lol.
Though I've never had stitches either. A friend of mine got a very embarrassing comment from the ob while being stitched. She had no partner, so had no reason to care, so didn't. Til the ob mentioned that most women try to keep tidy down there for them & that it does make it easier when stitching!
A cousin made sure she stopped shaving before labour, coz she's very very tiny & didn't want them to think she was only 12!

Dh did mine and he loved it, he and was all serious and really careful.
Had the clippers and the razor all set out and I just lay back on the bed reading my book

Did have to let him try out his handywork after, but it was a small price to pay

HAHA Some of these replies are Hilarious!

For me its DH and a pair of hair clippers I can't help but laugh when he's doing it and he tells me in a very serious voice "stop giggling i'm trying to concentrate" ROTFL.

Yes, many weeks ago now I lost slight of the old girl

i gave up down there!! I have since waxed (just recently actually) for the first time and i will NEVER go back to shaving lol. I remember trying to shave my legs about 4 or 5 days before i had her, and i got into the bath ok, couldnt for the life of me do it then i couldnt get out of the bath, luckily DH was home and had to get him to help me LOL
