It's a jungle down there!

My hair down there is so thick, it’s hard for me to wipe after I go to the bathroom! I doubt my mom would let me shave, so what should I do?

When it comes to the hair down there, we’re all different. Some girls have a sparse little patch, while others tend to have a bit of a jungle. Keeping it neat and clean isn’t as difficult as you might think.

With thick hair, it’s difficult to shave with a safety razor straight away. I recommend grabbing a small pair of sharp scissors and carefully giving yourself a trim. There’s nobody there to say how much or how little you should snip, so do what feels and looks right to you. Thinning it out with scissors might be enough to make you comfortable, but if you do decide to shave, go slowly. A shaving cream or gel will make it much easier, as will a fresh blade on your razor.

Good luck!

This afternoon I was shaving down there with one of hose electronic razors and my hand was wet I guess and it slipped a bit out of my hand and the razor wouldn't stop!! So now a bit of the skin on my thigh is nicked and its pink and it hurts a lot. What should I do about it? My fiends and I are going. Swimming tomorrow and I checked to see if it would show in my bikini and it does!! And it looks so weird!!!

Hey girl, explain that to your buds and make sure you take care of the area (let your mom know and see if there's anything she'd recommend you put on there to soothe the pain a bit). Overall, I wouldn't be too self conscious over it though or let it stop you from having fun tomorrow. Accidents happen unfortunately, but this one will heal soon!

1.I got my period 2 months ago and on my second period the "blood" was the colour of number 2 (if you know what i mean) is this normal?
2. When i get my period it seems like it stops and then it comes back super heavy. Is this normal?
Please Help Me

Hey babe, sometimes your discharge is brown if your period is late. So since you just started and your periods are still irregular, ya might get that sometimes. Don't worry about it. And for your second question, periods can have irregular flows, too. Sometimes if ya have two periods really close together, they'll be lighter, and if there's a longer time in between, they'll be heavier. It's not an exact science.
