Give Nature a Helping Hand - Your Bikini Line
By J. Rankin
Bikinis come in all shapes and sizes -mostly small- but you still need to sculpt your bikini line. You can be creative and use different bikinis and still have the look you want. It is one of those few times when less is better.
I have always been able to appreciate a clear bikini line but for a long time thought it was part of nature`s perfection.
After all a clear bikini line implies that the pubic hair isn't showing, and hair, well, it grows.
It was only later I realized that at times nature needs a helping hand. Many times a good hand. This helping hand can also be very creative, designing new shapes that can be geometrical or more "modern art".
It's also a good idea to avoid rashes and skin irritation.
Bikini lines can also have more than one helping hand. They do say many hands make light work, don`t they? Your boy friend can lend a hand. Your partner can. Your husband can. It is up to you who else can.
You can also allow your imagination to play a hand. And have a "hand"some finish - Oops, too many hands here.
If you want to do it yourself, or have someone close help you, you better make sure you have the right tools to reduce the risk of injury (as a general tip, try to avoid using a straight razor unless you have nerves of steel and a steady hand).
If you give nature a hand at home, you have immediately dropped from your list of options laser or electrolysis. This also makes it easier to choose.
For a smooth bikini line, your helping nature options are:
- Waxing, applied hot or cold. Then pulling it out. If you choose this, I suggest you try out a small area first and don`t pull slowly (ouch!) but at a steady pace.
- Plucking, OK, it's a choice.
- Shaving with a razor. You have to use a small, sharp razor and wet the area beforehand. Preferably with warm water and applying foam. Leave the foam for around three minutes. Then shave in the direction of the hair growth. Don`t scrape over and over. And do trim the hair beforehand to avoid hair clogging and so that you can see what you are doing. When you've finished dry without scrubbing. And apply some cream. Avoid sunlight for a day and use loose clothes.
- Electric shaver. Simple and easy to use. Trim the hair, preferably with an electric trimmer. Then shave, sculpt, design to your hearts content. With or without extra helping hands. Follow the instructions and you wont have to worry about rashes or skin irritation.
