The Lowdown on Intimate Hair Removal | Libresse | Femcare
Although it’s common for women (and men) to remove some or all of their pubic hair, whatever you choose – including leaving everything alone – is entirely your decision.
Anything from a tidy-up to total removal requires a shave, depilatory cream or wax. A more expensive option with a longer-term effect is laser treatment. Most women have to try a few techniques out before they settle on what works best for them, though.
V-Care™after hair removal
If you’re looking for something to soothe your V-zone after hair removal, our daily V-Care™ Wash Gel [LINK TO PRODUCT PAGE] contains cooling aloe vera (though with waxing, it’s often advised that you wait a few hours after a treatment before you shower or bath).
Waxing is popular because it’s quick and gives a smooth finish that can last for weeks. It may, however, cause ingrown hairs. Worry not, though. A little gentle exfoliation in the shower will help to prevent these. If you prefer shaving, always go easy around your hard-to-reach bits and be sure to watch out for nicks or cuts. Even the smallest skin tears can put you more at risk of STIs, or passed on to sexual partners.
From time to time you might find you get a little sweaty down there. Some people like to trim their pubic hair occasionally, but a quick wash or shower will keep you feeling comfortable, especially after exercise or sex. If normal soap makes your skin irritated, our Daily V-Care™ Washes [LINK TO PRODUCT PAGE] are gentle on sensitive skin. They won’t mess with your vulva and vagina’s natural pH levels, either, so you’ll be less likely to experience an infection or dryness.
If showering or washing are not an option for you sometimes, our Daily Intimate Wipes are a really useful addition to your bag. They give you a quick freshen up, and, like all of our Daily V-Care™Care products they won’t upset your V-zone’s good bacteria.
Whatever you do with your pubic hair, our products help to support your healthy, happy V-zone. Explore our entire Daily V-Care™range of washes, wipes and liners here.
Intimate discharges
While it might not be your favourite part of womanhood, female discharge is a productive and helpful thing.
The importance of hygiene on your period
From puberty onwards, feminine hygiene is a big deal. And not just because of your periods.
