Is it supposed to hurt when you shave you vegina?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Don't shave vagina.: Vaginal tissues are tender. Pubic hair is sometimes shaved. Insure you use fresh, sharp blades vice dull blades. If hair is > several mm long – then trim before shaving. Wash area before shaving – warm water helps to soften hair. Use a lubricant when shaving. Avoid using products that contain alcohol or are scented. Shave in direction of the hair – not against it. Be gentle when shaving .
