Mens Hair Removal

It may raise a few sniggers here and there, but genital ingrown hair is no laughing matter. If you shave or wax and have started to notice bumps and hairs curling under the skin, it’s time to take some action and get your skin back to its usual smooth state.

So, what are the options for getting rid of genital ingrown hair? Fortunately, you don’t have to resort to anything that’s too painful or inconvenient. It may be a delicate subject, but that’s not to say there isn’t a fair amount of information on the different ways in which you can tackle genital ingrown hair. It affects more people than you might think. Especially in this day and age, when hair removal is regarded as an essential part of grooming for both men and women.

Unfortunately, you’re likely to suffer from lumps and bumps in any area where hair removal is carried out. When hair is waxed or shaved, it gets sliced off at an angle and often grows back into the follicle from whence it came. This is especially true of coarse and curly hair, which is why genital ingrown hair is such a common problem. The time for embarrassment is over – loads of people have to deal with this issue.

You shouldn’t just sit there and put up with genital ingrown hair. Don’t ignore it either. I’m not one for scaremongering, but chances are you’ll end up with a pimple that will fill with pus if you do bury your head in the sand when it comes to genital ingrown hair. Not a good look, and pretty uncomfortable as well. In some cases, it can get infected, which really isn’t what you want, especially when it’s easy to solve the problem before it takes hold.

Before you choose a method, it’s worth noting that the one best suited to your needs will depend on the affected area. What I’m referring to here, is if you’re one of the increasing number of guys who shaves his testicles, you need to tread with care when removing genital ingrown hair. Naturally, you don’t want to be doing anything that will cause too much pain! Don’t worry though, there are solutions that won’t make you want to run for the hills!

Prevention is of course the best cure for genital ingrown hairs. Make sure you thoroughly wash and exfoliate the area before you shave, and use a new blade every time you do. Works wonders. Use an unscented shaving cream for sensitive skin too; the less the alcohol content is, the better. If you’ve already got genital ingrown hairs, you could try a cortisone cream to reduce inflammation. These can be picked up from pharmacies for very little money and you won’t have to go into details with the shop assistant! Try to avoid using the more harsh solutions. Exfoliation and cleansing the area at least once a day is really the way to go with genital ingrown hairs.

A good, non-perfumed sensitive shaving cream is the way to go to stop genital ingrown hairs:

Is shaving balls safe? A very commonly asked question and one that you need advice on if you’re considering removing hair in this super-sensitive area! If you want to be golden balls in the bedroom, this is apparently where it’s at right now. Strap yourselves in gents! This one isn’t for the faint-hearted.

Shaving balls has become a pretty hot trend in the male grooming stakes. There are even entire books devoted to the art! You don’t need to waste time and money on those, shaving balls is actually pretty simple. Why do it? Women do have a point; why should they bother to de-fuzz a forest of hair if you can’t be bothered? The benefits of shaving balls include the obvious improvement in appearance, but you’ll also be able to keep cleaner and smell fresh easily. And hot wax won’t have to come anywhere near your crown jewels. Sweet.

Whether you’re employed in the adult industry or just want to do it to impress the ladies, don’t simply grab a razor and get busy. There’s only one way that can go and let me assure you, it isn’t positive! Shaving balls is totally safe, as long as you’re careful and go about it in the right way. Obviously you’ll need a pretty steady hand as well. Slips result in nicks, which isn’t too bad on the face or chest but isn’t something you want when it comes to the nether regions. Oh, before we go any further, guys with sensitive skin are relieved from duty. If you’ve got skin that flares up, shaving balls is a real no-no. The skin down here is way more sensitive than that on your face and other parts of the body.

So, exactly how do you go about shaving balls? It’s easy; you just have to be careful. Do you use an electric shaver? Hell no! It’s razors all the way when shaving balls. Is it a good idea to invest in particular products for groin grooming? Yes, you’ll need to exfoliate and moisturise. The best way to start is with a bath and a trim. If you’re a pretty hairy guy, simply getting stuck straight into shaving balls will take absolutely ages and you won’t get the results you really want. Trim excess hair with a pair of small scissors or get the clippers out and carefully trim using those. Shaving balls follows similar rules to shaving the rest of your body; shave with (never against) the grain, and make sure you’ve got a seriously sharp blade. In fact, it’s best to use a new one each time when shaving balls.

If there’s one thing to remember when shaving balls, it’s this: do not under any circumstances use a conventional aftershave! Ignore that bit of advice at your peril. If you forget and splash it on, you definitely won’t do it again. To say that shaving balls then applying aftershave stings would be a gross understatement. If you really want to, choose a non-stinging aftershave with an astringent. It’s a better idea to gently exfoliate and moisturise the area on a regular basis.

So, there we have it! Shaving balls demystified. Just get a super-sharp, quality razor and whip it off:

Why do some men consider penis hair removal?

• Self-image: Some men feel better if they do complete body grooming. If you expect it from a partner, you have to be willing to do it yourself. Quid pro quo.
• Hygienic: Less often means less sweat and so less opportunity for bacteria and smells to cultivate.
• Size: Without the foliage, the tree looks taller. The penis looks bigger if you remove the hair around the base.

Who should do it for you?

• Yourself. If you are uncomfortable to let someone else handling or bringing shaving and cutting equipment near your penis, it is often best you do it yourself.
• A partner. If the technique you are using requires a difficult angle, having a partner do it makes things easier.
• A Professional. Going for the more permanent solutions (semi-permanent, as it rarely is fully permanent) often requires professional expertise and experience, so going it alone is not an option.

How to do penis hair removal?

• It depends on how long you want to remove it for and what you are comfortable with. See this article for the different penis hair removal options.

Where to do it?

• The bathroom or shower is an easy option – just take note that hair can build up over time so you might need drain cleaner (especially if you are really hairy).
• Any tiled area where you can sweep up the results (wet or dry).
• (Male) Spa. Phone the spa before you go to inquire whether they do penis hair removal or not. Also confirm whether the person who’ll be doing it has experience or not (ideally you want someone who knows what they are doing from experience and not just book knowledge).
• Clinic. Most cosmetic clinics offer the longer term options like electrolysis and laser penis hair removal. But it is priced accordingly.

When to do it?

• Any time after puberty.
• At least 24, but preferably 48 hours before sweat generating activity (think sex) as the skin needs some time to recover.

What do you need?

• Soothing cream. Natural ingredient soothing creams containing Aloe Vera helps with any irritation you might experience afterward.
• Anti-septic. Just in-case of cuts and scrapes. Also helps prevent or treat bacterial infections.
• Exfoliating scrub. Removes dead skin cells and unclogs pores to prevent ingrown hair and bumps.
• An adventurous attitude. It is a fairly new cultural thing to do, so approach it with the right attitude.

The pubic waxing region treatment is often referred to as the BCS or Back, Crack and Sack wax. More and more spa and clinics who accept men for waxing are also offering to do pubic waxing. Check with your local spa whether they do and whether they have an experience person on the team doing it. Don’t try to wax your genitals at home as you can rip and tear it easily – let someone else do it, trust me.

There are two options for pubic hair waxing. The first is the Brazilian which will wax all hair save a little landing strip or mustache above the penis. The second option is the or the ‘Hollywood’ wax – the Full Monty – which will remove all the hair around your genitals.

It is a good idea to clean the area with a shower before hand so you don’t embarrass yourself with uncleanness or bad odors. 

Feel free to remind the person waxing you to be careful as the area is sensitive (they should know, but better safe than sorry). 

You’ll be asked to stretch the skin taut which will bring the hair follicles closer to the surface and make it easier to remove.

It is not unusual to get an erection while the procedure is going on, so no need to feel embarrassed about it. They are professionals and will get on with the job. It actually helps by stretching the skin and causing adrenalin flow which will numb some of the pain.

Take good care of your skin afterwards by rubbing on some anti-septic and natural moisturizer like Aloe Vera gel. And wear loose cotton clothing to allow the skin to breathe and prohibit moisture from building up which can cause bacteria to grow. Don’t have sex for the first 24-48 hours after treatment, as it also risks infecting the follicles (or the torn skin if there is any). After that, you might consider getting a gentle exfoliating brush to prevent ingrown hairs.

Taking proper care to prepare before as well as after care treatment will ensure that you survive to wax another today. Pubic waxing is painful but for a lot of men it is worth it.
