HEALTH & FITNESS | YOUR BOD | DOWN THERE

I trimmed down there and now it hurts to move!


I trimmed my hair down there, but when I walk around, it hurts really badly. Help me please!

Owwie! Cleaning yourself up down there shouldn’t be a painful experience, especially if you’re just trimming with a small pair of scissors instead of shaving or waxing. There are a couple of reasons why you might be feelin’ the pain after a quick trim.

You might have nicked yourself
Taking scissors to the hair around your private parts is awkward. You can’t see well and it’s hard to find a comfy angle for your hand without risking cutting yourself. Though I’m sure you were as careful as could be, the blades of your scissors might have nicked the skin down there. Explore with your fingers and see if you can find a bit of skin that’s tender to the touch. Rub a little bit of antibiotic ointment like Neosporin on it and let it be.

You might be a li’l bit sensitive
Have you ever wondered what the hair down there is for? It’s there to protect your delicate lady parts. And while trimming, shaving or waxing won’t hurt you, it does leave the sensitive skin uncovered. The friction from your panties and other clothes that you didn’t notice before is suddenly a heck of a lot more evident now you’ve trimmed than it used to be. You need to let your skin get used to the change by wearing soft, all-cotton panties and looser clothes. Ditch your tight, stiff jeans for skirts, soft leggings or yoga pants. Sooo much better!

I had my first period in March, and I haven't had it since.. Me and my friend were supposed to have it on the same day, she got hers, but I didn't get mine. She said her grandma said if it was your first time, then you shouldn't get it again for a couple months. Is that true?

i shave down there cause its just annoying! the hair makes me itchy and uncomfortable! i have cut myself accidentally before and it hurts so be EXTREMELY careful! i don't use a mirror cause i shave in the shower! and you don't really have to shave down there very often...like once every 1-2 weeks depending on the amount of hair and stuff! its not bad at all and it feels AMAZING to not have hair down there afterwords!!

Yes its true, there is so much talk about shaving and there are a lot of articles in magazines about shaving down there. I guess it used to not be popular but now it is because I was reading one of my moms magazines where it said it just wasnt for younger girls it was also becoming popular for people her age.

I think the Venus razors are the best, so you can shave if you want to. People do it for how it makes it feel after doing it and how it makes it look down there, but once you start you need to keep doing it so the area gets used to being shaved.

i accidently cut myself down there and it was bleeding for a long time what do i do!!!!
(its not my period)






  1. Hey girl!



No worries... a cut there is just like a shaving cut anywhere else. Put pressure on it as you finish showering (like with a washcloth) and you'll be fine!

I was reading online what a doctor said about shaving and she said its best if you shave down there to not wear underwear after doing it. And its best to not wear them at night if you shave that evening. I sometimes do and sometimes dont but I agree that its better to not trap in moisture so if you can go without wearing them I would do it.

I heard your not supposed to wear undies after you shave down there and if you do it close to bedtime you shouldn't sleep in them is that true?

 

Hey girlie. I don't think it's bad to wear undies after.

MOD
I want to shave all my hair down there but don't want to get an infection so how much should i shave? How short should I trim it? Should i not wear underwear after I shave? Also is it ok not to sleep in underwear?

 

Hey girlie. If you are planning on shaving "down there" be careful because the skin is super sensitive. They make certain moisturizers that are good for after shave. They sell these at grocery stores in the woman's section. Apply this after you shave. I think the first time you should shave just a little.

Hey girl, I'm not really sure what's going on.  You could make sure you are wearing loose (not super-tight), basic cotton panties.  Otherwise, you might want to check in with a doc for tips.  xoxo

 The key is shaving the right direction, using a good moisturizer, and using a mirror. If you just shave and dont rub any moisturizer down there it wont be a good experience.
When you shave or trim it becomes more sensitive down there and having your underwear rub differently can take time getting used to. Shave during a warm bath or shower and use a mirror, I fortunately have big mirrors in my bathroom, plus you need time and privacy because getting interrupted is no fun. Ruth S. Ruth S.

Hey girl, I'm not really sure what is causing those pains, but it's really important you check in with a doc.  Tell an adult about what you've been feeling so they can help you make an appointment.  I know it probably feels awkward, but it's really, really important to get it checked out.  xoxo

I have this extra flap of skin between my vaginal flaps. It goes all the way from the top to the bottom (it goes down farther a little bit at the bottom), about 3/4 centimeters wide and it is all wrinkley at the bottom. I thought it was normal until I changed my 1 year old nieces diaper and saw that she didnt have one. Is it normal?! I REALLY dont want to see a doctor or talk to my mom about it! PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Hey girlie, it's normal, your niece is young and still developing

mod! please help asap!!!
so i just got out of the bath from shaving ''down there'' and i relized that part of my vagina is puffy! Whats wrong with me?? and how can i make it go away!




Don't fret, girlie! It may seem like your skin is puffy, but that's just how the anatomy of women are. You can't make it go away. If you're not referring to the top part, nearest to your belly button, then talk to a doctor- but from the way you're describing it, you're just talking about the natural puffy top part.

moderator please help me asap!!! so tonight, i play a basketball game and my coach from my school team is coming to watch... the thing is, is that he makes me feel uncomftable! you may be asking why i invited hem, but it wasnt me, it was another girl who plays on both of my teams. like he is always demanding and makes you feel guilty over little thing. like i was taking the picture for the boys team, which he also coaches, was like yelling at me because i happened to be taking picture of the best player while he was posing for the camera while my coach was rearranging the teamates. he started yelling at me and during practices, he would always cuss at the players. he would yell at me during the games, but then told me i did good after the game. i dont want him to yell at me when i am playing. i always feel uncomftable, but i dont understand why no one else feels the same way! please help me!!

 

 

 

Hey chica! Maybe, you should talk to your coach about how you feel. Say that you know he's just trying to help, but it makes you nervous when he yells so much. It might help it if knew how you felt. Maybe stay after practice, or a game one night and ask to talk to him.
