Cutehector:
thanks sir, I really appreciate. I"d also like to ask one more question, is it proper to shave an over grown pubic hair or better to trim it first then shave?


By overgrown do you mean heavy as in going a long time without shaving? If this is what you mean then I'll advise trimming first and then waiting at least 48 hours before fully shaving. This is due to the fact that heavy hair causes a strain on most shavers or razors and this could lead to tugging causing hair to become trapped in the skin. By trimming first, you've reduced the strain but your skin is still sensitive so you need to wait for the tension to go down. This is normally between a day or two, if you don't want to wait then applying shaving lotions that is made with Aloe works perfectly.

thanks so much for this advice bro.. i'm grateful.


Which is better? to shave in the opposite direction (upwards) of the hair follicles?

Or to shave in the foward growth direction(downwards) of the hair follicle.


I decided to tag a pic along with it for a better understanding.

"When you completely shave the pubic hair, it re-grows in a slanted fashion with the tip sometimes growing into the pubic skin, which can crack open the skin."

There are skin products that can be applied to the skin in the pubic region to counter what this doctor said (the highlighted part). IMO, keeping pubic hair is completely unhygienic. Pubic hair harbours germs, can bring about an unpleasant odour from the region.

No scientific explanation can make me keep pubic hair. Perceiving body odour from my partner's pubic region (or even armpit) is a huge turn-off for me. Hence, I detest the practice of leaving pubic hair unshaved.

I concur, trimming the pubic hair every time is a no no. It causes irritation and hard boils down there. I only shave once in a month, my lady v is so fresh and no sign of roughness cos the skin is smooth.

Shave but don't over do it. At least let hairs grow first, for those shaving every week kilode?

Contrary to well acclaimed hygienic practice, a medical expert has warned of the dangers in completely shaving the pubic hair. Dr Arikawe Adeolu, an Abuja-based medical expert, advised that it is safer to trim the hair rather than shaving it off completely. He said that complete shaving of the hair could cause infection.

Adeolu told our correspondent on Tuesday that shaving or waxing of the hair around the pubic could cause cracks and expose the skin to bacterial infection.

He added that the pubic hair served a major purpose of providing some level of cushioning for the individual, especially during sexual activity, preventing the skin from rubbing against another and causing abrasion.

He explained that if the skin around the pubic region was completely shaved and the individual’s skin came into contact with another person’s skin, friction would be increased due to the skin to skin contact.

He advised that individuals who were worried about the lack of hygiene due to untended pubic hair should consider trimming rather than complete shaving or waxing of the hair.

“When you completely shave the pubic hair, it re-grows in a slanted fashion with the tip sometimes growing into the pubic skin, which can crack open the skin.

“It is usually a small crack which cannot be seen with the naked eyes but due to this crack and loss of integrity of the skin at that level, there is increased risk of getting infection.

“Complete shaving can also cause boil to develop in that region. This is because when you shave, you cause some level of abrasion in the area which opens up the skin.
“These small openings cannot be seen with the eye but they are big enough for the micro organisms to get into the body.

“Also, because the pubic area is always moist, this serves as breeding ground for organisms like bacteria.”
Adeolu said that trimming the pubic hair would also help to reduce the risk of contacting Sexually Transmitted Infection (STI), which could also be contacted when fluid from an infected partner’s Instruments came into contact with the pubic area.

According to him, if the partner is already infected, the virus in the semen or body fluid can easily penetrate the skin of the other to infect the individual.

He said that this infection was mostly caused by a virus known as ‘Molluscum contagiosum’, adding that there had been significant increase in incidences of such infection in hospitals.

“It is a viral infection that is also categorised as an STI. It affects the skin and does not need treatment; usually after a couple of weeks or months, the symptoms go away by themselves.

“You also have an increased risk of contacting other STIs such as HIV, Hepatitis, genital warts by complete shaving of the pubic hair,’’ Adeolu said.

Always shave in the direction of the growth, this reduces the chance of ingrown hair.
