Is it good or bad for you to wax your pubic area? Does it harm the skin?

I have been waxing all the time since I was 15.

  • Just gotta keep it cleaner the more you work with it. No harm done. Same amount of work. Longer hair takes longer to clean, shorter/waxed hair should be cleaned more often.

    No maintenance- no shave bumps, but more effort to clean.
    Shave-some irritation, gotta clean it good or it's easier to get bumps
    Wax-easy clean, but wide open pores you GOTTA clean.

    Doesn't really matter. Very short hair is easiest to take care of but whatever your preference, just stay clean and there shouldn't be any issues.

    • Also, waxing consistently cuts down on the "stress" it puts on your skin. First 3 or so waxes can suck, but it levels out after that. If you stop doing it long enough, it can be irritating when you start again. Same as shaving though. Do the same thing to your body and it'll get consistent. Don't see any problems? Don't worry unless one shows up

  • It should be fine. It irritates the skin and could temporary harm you depending on the type of wax as well as the ever present danger of getting burns from having too hot wax but generally its fine. Our skin is made for being abused so its within the limits of what its supposed to handle.

  • As long as you know what you're doing or the person who is doing it for you knows what he's doing.
    Once a specialist did burn me by mistake while doing laser and it did leave a mark.

  • Do you do your own waxes or go to a professional?

    • I always did it myself

    • Cool, that's a good skill to have. I've always been too scared to try it because I'm worried about the pain.

  • It is not bad to do so. I happen to know an ultra-distance runner who has done so for years because the hair (and, worse, the shaving stubble!) would rub her thighs raw when she ran further than a couple of miles.

    The smooth waxed finish was much better.

  • Both shaving and waxing cause microscopic tears of the skin. That's why dermatologists say that doing that causes an increased risk of inflammation and some skin infections like abscesses and boils as well as some STIs. But obviously an increased risk doesn't mean everyone who shaves or waxes will have those things happen.

  • Try Turtle Wax that is the safest kind to use.

  • Is got good things about it and bad ones as well... Google it for better results

  • Done correctly it no problem..

  • It actually removes the dead skin cells on the top layer.

    • I started to feel like I was torturing my skin

    • You could have sensitive skin.

  • I think it's morally ambivalent to wav any of your skin

    • Why?

  • I think it can damage skin, but since you've been doing it for years it's probably safe for you.

    • There is no instant harm. It just blushes. But would it be harmful in a long time? I can not be sure

    • If you've waxed without harm for a while, you should be fine

  • You must be so soft, 😍😍😍💋

    The only side effect is you'd get eaten out more than you like lol

  • U just like it smooth, no harm in that.

    • Is that how u like ur guys to be too?

    • I think I would prefer this

    • U ever been with any guys yet?

  • It’s basically taking some skin with it but your skin heals over and over so you’ll be fine and maybe you’ll either get Lasic or just trim it some day instead of putting your self through that
