Hair Removal For Intimate Areas

In many cultures, particularly in North American, it became increasingly common during the 20th century for women to remove some or all of their body hair, due to values of society that consider it unattractive and/or not feminine to have body hair. Because of this hair removal techniques were developed.

Sometimes hair removal was considered a matter of practicing good hygiene. People may also remove some or all of their pubic hair for aesthetic or sexual reasons. People who appear in adult films are well known for the practice of hair removal in personal areas.

Men may also practice hair removal in personal areas, but not as commonly as women. In a sexual context, pubic hair removal is done to increase visual exposure of the genitalia and/or facilitate access to the genital area by removing the barrier of hair.

There are several different methods of hair removal for the personal area. Shaving for hair removal of the personal area originated in ancient Egypt and Greece. This was done when prostitutes had to shave for both hygienic reasons and as a clear sign of their profession. Although female body shaving was established as the norm between 1915 and 1945, private area hair removal did not gain a strong foothold until the 1980s.

Epilation is another type of hair removal and is removal of the entire hair, including the part below the skin, and is therefore longer-lasting. Methods include waxing, sugaring, epilation devices, lasers, threading, intense pulsed light or electrology. Hair is also sometimes removed by plucking with tweezers.

Epilators are a practical substitute to shaving with a razor. It works on most of the same areas and lasts longer, three to eight weeks. However there is more discomfort involved, though it will lessen with each session. Also it may not work if your hair is fine, or if your skin is very sensitive.
