Depilation does not affect the hair follicle and does not destroy it, unlike epilation - hair removal along with the bulb. Depilation intimate zone It is simple, painless and quick - the procedure usually does not take more than 5 minutes.
Peculiarities
Depilation of the intimate area is not to the liking of every girl or woman - some are afraid of pain and irritation, others are quite satisfied with their vegetation. Like any procedure, depilation has positive and not so features:
- Allows you to get rid of hair quickly and painlessly;
- Gets rid of bad smell. Regrown hair (no matter where) is able to retain droplets of sweat and sebum - sebum on its “body”, and the latter tend to smell unpleasant, plus bacteria spread in the hairs. Especially this problem - pregnant women and just those who have a changing hormonal background suffer from excessive sweating;
- Smooth skin in the intimate area, it charges with confidence more abruptly than expensive underwear, experts say;
- Women's depilation allows you not to remove the hair cleanly, but to remove the length or get rid of only the protruding hairs from under the panties;
- Depilation deep bikini implies the removal of hairs completely and is especially common among young girls.
Speaking about the positive aspects of depilation, it is impossible not to note its negative ones:
- May cause skin irritation;
- May lead to ingrown hairs;
- Requires constant costs - the purchase of a razor, cassettes or blades for it, cream and other accessories, including skin care products;
- Does not have a long lasting effect.
What is the name of?
The groin area in women is called the "bikini", and speaking of this intimate area, it cannot be said that bikini depilation is deep and classic. Depilation of the "classic" bikini involves the removal of only those hairs that go beyond the panties, that is, all the extra ones, they usually look untidy and can be disgusting. "Deep" bikini - hair removal from the entire surface of the groin, including the labia and intergluteal region, but as an exception, you can leave a small strip short hair on the forehead.
Types and methods
There are two ways of depilation, that is, removing hair from the surface of the skin - using razor or cream.
Shaver
The easiest and painless way to get rid of hair in the intimate area, but not the most modern and long-lasting - the hair begins to grow back in a day, and the intimate area looks like a hedgehog.
Dozens and even hundreds of razor models are now presented, from simple disposable razors to modern ones with a floating head and an additional property to soothe the skin (due to the release of gel from the machine).
The razor does a good job of full depilation, that is, "deep bikini" thanks to thin blades and a small razor head, but there is a chance of cutting the skin.
Cream
The depilatory cream literally “dissolves” the hair on the surface, but it is undesirable to get it on the skin mucosa (and it is in the intimate area). This method is also painless, but not all creams cope with hard and long hairs on the body; often, an additional razor is required to achieve the ideal effect.
Depilatory cream Velvet qualitatively removes hairs and slows down their further growth, the brand line has products for various sites body, including the intimate area and sensitive skin generally. Depilation with a “mini-bikini” complex allows you to get rid of vegetation for a period of 3 to 6 months and even at home. The manufacturer says that his product does not remove hair, and only stops their growth, so the cream and oil must be used in combination only after any hair removal procedure - use home epilator or going for a sugaring or waxing procedure. Opinions about this product among consumers are divided - some praise it for a "smooth" result, others do not see anything special in the composition of the product and its work.
By the way, about the composition of the "mini-bikini": a complex of saturated fats, organic acids, high concentration of iodine and rambutan seed oil.
Facilities
Depilation is the simplest and most costly way hair removal in the bikini area, and there are not many means for its implementation.
Shaving
It is practically painless and does not affect the deep processes in the skin (unlike epilation, when the hairs are removed along with the bulb). It is advisable to shave with a special gel, cream or foam so that the razor blade slides better over the surface of the skin, captures even small hairs, moreover, an additional tool will protect against cuts and overdrying of the skin.
Shaving breaks the structure of the hair, as well as removing them with an epilator, sugar or wax. It can change the direction of hair growth, lead to irritation and other consequences from depilation or epilation, and in order to avoid unpleasant moments, it is necessary to carry out the procedure according to simple recommendations:
- Use a razor in the shower or after taking a bath on a damp, slightly steamed body - so the hairs will be easier to grab and remove;
- Use a special cream, not soap (the latter dries the skin a lot and does not provide a sliding surface for razor blades);
- Remove hair by hair growth, if the skin is sensitive or thin or against - it is more effective;
- Pluck out hairs with tweezers if in some area they are rare - frequent shaving can cause the growth of new thick and dark hair.
Cream use
A well-known method of removing hair from the intimate area. This product is easy to use: it is enough to apply it on the skin in the direction of hair growth with a spatula and leave for a certain time, then remove it against growth with the same spatula. Modern manufacturers cosmetics for depilation offer creams "for all occasions" - for sensitive skin, for the bikini area, legs and armpits, for normal dermis and others.
Which one to choose - focus on creams for the intimate area or sensitive areas of the body, since their composition is usually simplified and "at hand" to the consumer.
Cream Velvet one of the most famous and available funds for hair removal, including from the intimate area. Cream to remove hair from the bikini area Velvet for sensitive skin with olive oil and chamomile, special " Velvet intimate» for working with the intimate area with chamomile in the composition. It is inferior to hot wax in the cartridge in terms of the duration of the effect, but surpasses the notorious razor - the hairs grow thinner.
Ingrown hairs can appear from any type of depilation, and a special cream or lotion will help prevent their appearance, for example, " Depileve Folisan». liquid form The product is convenient for its use on the bikini area. As part of the lotion against ingrown hairs " Depileve Folisan» contained acetylsalicylic acid(dries the skin, relieves inflammation, redness), glycerin (excellently moisturizes, nourishes the epidermis, soothes and stimulates cell renewal, effectively heals damaged or dry skin).
Folk recipes
Our great-grandmothers, from whom we have come down to us, thought about getting rid of hair simple methods, or recipes.
Hydrogen peroxide or peroxide
« old-timers"recommend wiping your hair 2-3 times a day and say that the vegetation will soon acquire a lighter inconspicuous shade. This recipe is not a 100% way to get rid of body hair, but it is often used to bleach hair and especially often on the face.
Potassium permanganate
Or potassium permanganate. Excellent fights with unwanted vegetation - so they say "experienced". The essence of its use is to dilute a concentrated solution of potassium permanganate and daily wipe it with areas of the body with vegetation, in our case in the intimate area. The highly concentrated composition of potassium permanganate is dangerous - it is easy for them to get burned, and especially when in contact with the mucous membrane (it is also available in the intimate area).
In addition, the manganese solution gives a noticeable coloring effect on the skin from light yellow to brown.
Iodine
A mixture of ammonia, classic alcohol and iodine effectively fights hairs. The recipe is quite simple: you need to mix 70 gr. alcohol, 10 gr. "ammonia", 10 gr. castor oil and 3 gr. iodine. The resulting solution should be wiped on the skin twice a day.
Pumice
The abrasive surface of a pumice stone can get rid of hairs - the daily use of a “grater” for legs literally eliminates hair from the surface of the body, they say on the forums. It is worth noting that this method is traumatic, and especially for the intimate area - the skin there is tender. The essence of the method is to rub the skin 1-2 times a day to a slight reddening and wait for natural hair loss.
Folk ways the fight against unwanted vegetation in the bikini area is rather doubtful: it is not known how long the hair will begin to fall out from daily friction with pumice or compresses from iodine and alcohol. Likely to get burned or severe irritation will be faster than getting rid of hairs.
What is the best thing to do in the bikini area?
Razor or cream - depending on how you are used to doing it. Daily shaving with a razor is not very good for our skin - it is irritated, dried out and simply injured from frequent contact with the blade, the same can be said about depilatory cream - it simply cannot be used daily. Irritation is the most common consequence of daily depilation procedures and especially in the bikini area, it can be expressed by slight redness, rash, itching and even painful sensations on the skin.
If we talk about sensitive skin, you need to test both shaving and several depilatory creams in order to determine “your own”. With the growth of rough, hard and dark hair, you can try several brands of depilatory creams, suddenly among them there is a product with maximum impact - it will effectively remove hairs in the bikini area, will not cause irritation on the skin and with it they will not grow "by leaps and bounds" . Owners of thin blonde hair may also try to find their ideal cream or keep using a razor, especially if new hairs grow slowly.
How to do at home?
Proper preparation. The optimal time for the procedure is at 15-16 hours - experts define this time as the period of least susceptibility to discomfort. In general, depilation is known for its painlessness, which means that it can be done at home “on demand”, if there are no pain or discomfort not observed before.
Scrub before hair removal- in the shower or after taking a bath. Abrasive particles will remove the keratinized "dead" layer of cells, lift the hairs at the roots and provide the razor blade with a high-quality glide, and the cream - better assimilation on the skin and the destruction of the "body" of the hair.
Perform the depilation procedure in the shower(if it's a razor) or after if you're using cream. Warm water will steam the skin a little and make the shaving cartridge glide better. By the way, epilation is also worth doing after a shower in order to cleanse the skin and prevent particles of sebum, sweat and bacteria from penetrating into open pores, and it is not recommended to wet the skin after the procedure for another 2-3 hours (ideally - up to 12 hours).
Speaking of shaving, prepare a fresh, sharp blade or assess the condition of the previous one - how clean it is, whether it glides well on the skin and whether it cuts hairs rather than tears them.
Depilation with a cream requires no less preparation:
- Take a shower - the area to be depilated must be clean. A scrub will not hurt either;
- Dry the skin and hairs completely with a towel and natural air - the cream will not lie evenly on wet skin;
- Prepare a tube of cream, a spatula for applying and removing hair, a towel or a thick napkin;
- Additionally, you can wipe the skin with an antiseptic - lotion, tonic, if there are no contraindications on this topic in the manufacturer's recommendations.
How is the process going?
Depilation with a razor is best done in the shower - warm water will soften the skin a little and open the pores. Pre-apply a little shaving cream or foam on clean, damp skin and spread it well over the intimate area, the composition will allow the razor blades to glide over the surface easily and catch all the hairs, even the shortest ones.
The process of hair removal begins from the pubis - walk with a razor along the hair growth, from top to bottom. Next, switch to the labia and intergluteal region - these areas need to be shaved in different directions in order to effectively remove the vegetation. Return to the pubis and evaluate its smoothness - if it is not sufficient, you can walk along it with a razor against hair growth, fix the result.
Depilation of hair with a cream is a little different:
- On dry skin, apply a little depilatory cream with a spatula - you should not distribute it with your hands;
- Start distributing the product from the pubis and move down to the labia;
- It is important to distribute the cream evenly - there should be no gaps, otherwise the hairs will remain in place;
- To effectively apply the “deep bikini” depilatory cream, take a sitting position, bend your knees and spread them as much as possible to the sides - it will become easier to get to hard-to-reach areas;
Today, bikini waxing has become one of the most popular hygiene procedures for women and men. Hair removal in intimate places allows you not only to maintain perfect cleanliness, but also increases your own self-esteem, liberates partners in bed and brings zest to your personal life. There are many ways to carry out hair removal and depilation in this area, such a variety allows everyone to choose the right method based on its qualities and characteristics.
The function of hair in the intimate area and the meaning of their removal
The hairs in the intimate area perform a protective function. They keep warm and protect the genitals from the cold, and also represent a natural barrier that prevents the penetration of bacteria from the outside. At the same time, they trap particles of the secretion of the person himself and create a pathogenic environment for the reproduction of harmful microorganisms. Based on this information, it is unrealistic to give an unambiguous answer to the question of whether it is necessary to remove hair in intimate places.
Conducting surveys of people for what purpose they conduct bikini hair removal, the following results were revealed. About 50 percent of people consider this procedure hygienic and carry it out to maintain beauty and cleanliness. Approximately one third of our fellow citizens epilate before going to the sea, and another 10 - 15 percent believe that this will bring positive changes to their sex life.
Intimate hair removal is divided into classic and deep bikini. In the first case, the hair is removed along the underwear line and on the pubis, in the second, the hair is removed completely, starting from the line along the underwear, the pubis, and then the perineum and intergluteal space (in men, on the scrotum and at the base of the penis).
Depilation with a razor
A popular and budgetary way is to use a razor that cuts off the hairs on the surface of the skin. The machine can be used in any conditions, it allows you to quickly achieve visual results and lasts for a long time. However, the very next day, the hair begins to grow in the form of prickly bristles, which provokes irritation and itching.
Useful advice - to avoid side effects, hair is shaved diagonally, and not according to the classical pattern against their growth.
Depilation with cream
It's special chemical composition applied to the surface of the skin, softening the hairs, which will later be easily removed with a spatula. You can evaluate the result within 15 minutes after applying the cream, it lasts 5-10 days. The cost of the procedure ranges from 100 to 400 rubles, depending on the type of composition acquired.

Waxing (waxing)
The procedure is hair removal with wax. It is applied to the skin, fixed with a strip (bandage), which jerks off along with the hairs. The main advantage of this method is the elimination of hair along with the bulb, so that it stops growing within 4-5 weeks. The cost of such a procedure in the salon is approximately 2000 rubles, the cost of home manipulations is 3-4 times less. The technique is quite painful and requires the application of a local anesthetic to the skin. After the procedure, swelling and redness are often observed, side effects disappear within a day.
Useful advice - waxing intimate places is best done with warm, not hot or cold wax.

Intimate depilation, like others cosmetic procedures has its positive and negative sides. The advantages of this procedure:
- During the day, the hairs on a woman's body absorb a lot of dirt and are an excellent breeding ground for various bacteria. Therefore, depilation of intimate areas is a matter of personal hygiene and health not only for girls, but also for the stronger sex.
- Clean and well maintained female body has always been an object of attracting male attention and gave self-confidence to the fairer sex. The hairs that peek out from under the strip of a swimsuit do not look aesthetically pleasing and even repulsive.

Therefore, the disadvantages of female intimate depilation include the following:
- Hairs are a barrier to the penetration of various bacteria into the genitals of a woman and support the necessary microflora. But this is only possible if hygiene standards are observed. If the vegetation is removed, then it will be much easier for foreign microorganisms to enter the female body.
- It has been scientifically proven that pheromones are stored in the hairs, which attract the opposite sex.
- Natural vegetation in the intimate area is responsible for thermoregulation.
- Sometimes depilation is a very painful process. Not every girl is able to endure this pain in order to look well-groomed and beautiful.
Many modern girls, taking into account all the pros and cons of removing hair from the intimate area, they resort to an original solution - they remove only the vegetation that is visible outside the underwear or leave one thin strip hair. Many women like this option because it looks aesthetically pleasing and does not contradict nature.

But if, nevertheless, a woman prefers partial or complete hair removal, then it is best to seek help from specialists who produce high-quality and painless hair removal.
It has long been believed that the attractiveness of a woman is the greater, the more distinct and tender her body is from that of a man. Because the male bodies often have a pronounced hairline, therefore, women tend to get rid of it as much as possible. First of all, women are worried about hair removal on the legs and armpits, due to hormonal background, some also have to remove hair and over upper lip. Regarding the epilation of the pubis, so far, there is no unequivocal opinion. Numerous factors affect this issue: upbringing, mentality, culture and, of course, individual tastes.
Pubic hair as a sign of sexuality:
On the one hand, elevated height thick hair in the pubic area indicates hyperhormonality and increased human sexuality. This means that the presence of chic curls in the pubic area positions a woman as sexually active and gives her image additional eroticism. According to the statistics of monitoring surveys, four out of five men surveyed confirmed that they consider the presence of pubic hair on a woman to be an erotic and exciting factor. Therefore, if you take into account the opinions of others and believe the statistics, pubic hair removal is not a particularly necessary procedure. After all, you can also remember that this is how nature created us, that hair growth in the pubic area is natural, and possibly contributes to the preservation of healthy microflora.
Arguments "for" hair removal:
On the other hand, the lack of epilation on the pubis, at least, is considered an unfashionable manifestation of the Middle Ages. Even gynecologists are inclined to believe that this is primarily a matter of cleanliness and hygiene. In any case, completely unprocessed pubic hair looks extremely unaesthetic. And even if there is no one to demonstrate "their beauty and grooming" in intimate places, nevertheless, the majority of people visit the beach - and not every swimsuit is able to hide the hairs protruding on the sides.

But at the same time, skin irritation often occurs, which manifests itself in the form of a small rash or pustules, which certainly does not decorate your skin. appearance in a bathing suit. You may prefer to pluck the hairs with tweezers, but this is a very painful and unpleasant procedure. The most gentle and gentle method of removing pubic hair is to use a special depilatory cream. Such creams, as a rule, have antiseptics and anti-allergens in their composition, which allows you to get rid of unwanted hair without acquiring irritation.
Types of pubic hair removal:
The most effective and reliable way to get rid of pubic hair is laser hair removal. The procedure consists in the fact that a pulsating laser beam is directed to the treated area of the skin, under the influence of which the hair follicles heat up and dry out, as a result of which they die. But for a sustainable effect, it is necessary to carry out about ten laser hair removal procedures. As a result of this short and absolutely painless procedure, you can easily get rid of unwanted hairs on any part of the body. More information about laser hair removal can be found on the websites of beauty salons.
Another fashionable and popular method of getting rid of unwanted pubic hair is photoepilation. By its nature, it is very close to laser hair removal, but it takes more time, has contraindications for people with increased photosensitivity, and costs somewhat less. This method uses a directed beam of light that penetrates the hair follicle and destroys it by destroying proteins.
There is also electrolysis, with the help of which the hair follicle is destroyed by the action of an electric current. This procedure is less effective and somewhat painful, and therefore is less popular.
