Pubic hair removal. ...Just what it sounds like

I am an alt, and a girl, with massive amounts of (like, braidable) pubic hair. Western society's not okay with this. The important thing always is, am I okay with it? Not any longer! Aside from wondering if gentlemen will have the vapors at it (I know, a good guy won't care, only need to please myself, blah blah) I'm tired of fluids getting stuck in it, snags, etc. Its really gross, not just in the "Oh noes I dun look ready to be on a magazine cover!" sense.
How does one go about deforestation down there without lots of pain and $$? I don't wanna ask any real-life friends about it, because holy shit I have a lot of pubic hair. Any attempt to convince me it's normal may result in MS Paint demonstrations.

Whatever you do, though, don't just hack at it with a razor (and don't wax it while it's still long). You REALLY want to avoid pulling or tearing, and the shorter the hair is when you shave it, the easier your life is.
I'd go with the scissors then a wax. If you wax it, it'll take longer to come back. As far as I know anyway.
Isn't that kind of the point?
Nair works alright, though it'll make the bathroom smell a little funny for a few hours. I got bored one time and decided to deforest my entire body (I'm a dude, and while I'm not quite as bad as Robin Williams, I'm not lacking in the body hair department) with a bottle of Nair, and it worked alright. I didn't bother trimming anything first or whatever... just took a shower, stepped in front of a mirror and went nuts.
Literally. Naired my balls, ass, bunghole, everything. I can't recommend Nairing your asshole... it made the membrane on my brown-eye a little too... soft? Smooth? Girly? Whatever the case, it started bleeding when I took a rough shit the next day.
Also, don't re-apply it to any part of your body that's already been Nair'd. I know it says that on the bottle, but I ignored it because I'm an idiot and it A) Stings like a cocksucker and
As for Nair + vagoo: I couldn't say, since I don't have one. You might prefer to avoid getting any on your inner lips, since something tells me that might rash up (again, just a hunch. I have no anecdotal or first-hand knowledge of this), but Nair was pretty much created for de-bushing, so the rest of your junk should be alright.
My hair stayed gone (Back hair, ball hair, bush, ass hair, chest hair, leg hair, arm hair) for about... I can't recall exactly, but probably around two months. Maybe six weeks or something like that. You should be stubble-free for at least a week.
It works just fine on tough hair, but trust me, you're going to want a shower and a bunch of towels for it. A mirror really helps, too.
....
It's uh, totally normal. Guess you'll have to draw us a couple pictures eh.
...except the asshole. That was a mistake.
You don't have a vagina.
It may seem obvious, but be careful - more careful than when you do your legs / pits / face. A cut on your balls hurts like putting your cock in a bladed flaming chainsaw-cunt from Hades. I'm assuming a cut to your bacon sandwich would be about the same on the "jesus fuck shit" scale.
This needs to be reported for awesomeness
If it were me, I'd trim it and then wax it. It means you won't have to worry about it for longer periods of time and when it starts growing back it isn't as much of a pain. The waxing actually isn't unbearably painful if you don't try to wax over the same area multiple times in one sitting. The GiGi brazilian waxing stuff is the best I've found to work with because it doesn't require strips.
If you're just looking to trim I'd follow peoples' advice about the beard trimmer things, a friend of mine uses something like that for "manscaping".
Haha, that's the best term ever.
I just use a different blade on the same razor I shave my face with. Gillette Fusion. Five blades is kind of ridiculous, but when you're pulling it over it doesn't seem to hurt or irritate at all and by the time I'm done, I'm bare. Still, whenever I let things get too unruly, things kinda... snag? You don't want that, so trim down a little first. Hell, you may just want to stop at trimming, since that works well and you don't have to worry about stubble.
I've found that stubble isn't as nearly as irritating as forestation. I'll take a little itch here and there over the stink and musk that follows hair. But it seems people who have really sensitive skin itch a whole damned lot. Different strokes and all.
Trim it up, with scissors, either in the shower or by standing over the toilet (so they fall into the bowl). Use a razor in the shower to shave the sides, et voila, nicely managed pubes.
Porn stars get away with being shaved because they're *paid* to be shaved. Even then, from body-hair articles that I've read, porn stars only shave/trim right before a scene. They're "normal" the rest of the time. Why? Because it's irritating, itchy, and leads to ingrown hairs.
I've dated at least a couple of girls who went bare 24/7/365, and they preferred it that way. The OP should at least give it a shot for a couple of weeks -- if she doesn't like it, it grows back!
Edit: I'm also someone who can get pretty hairy if things aren't trimmed regularly (like, once every couple of weeks), so I know where you're coming from.
Face Twit Rav Gram
A good trim is all you need. Shaving is overkill (but in my case at least, appreciated).
Oh, and use a fresh blade, especially the first few times. Never use a dull blade you used on your arms/pits (or face/chest for men). The last thing you want to feel is "blade stutter" when the blade bounces and tugs on the skin irregularity. It may not cut you, but it will itch and burn like a mofo.
This goes away after the first couple of times shaving. However, it is a good thing to note that the first couple of times, you'll itch a lot... which may be embarassing if you can't control your hands in public. If you're going to shave/wax, I suggest someone do it for a couple of months rather than weeks, because weeks won't give you enough time to settle down completely to figure out if the maintenance is worth it.
Frankly, once I'm "down there", I don't see the point in not going full-bore, but that's me. It's just as easy to do everything than to try to "sculpt"... that's why I don't do facial hair, either.
As far as my preference for ladies, I don't care whether it's an Adolf or Telly Savalas as long as I don't end up with a lot of hair in my mouth. That Castro shit ain't nice. Visually, I prefer Telly, but it's just a preference and that's all. Again, I'm just not keen on coughing up a hairball, and that's why I manscape as well.
Ahem. Speaking as someone whose normal (ie, head) hair is so thick and curly, my mother used to go down to the US to buy me special shampoo and conditioner for "women of colour," I can attest to the fact that having wild and crazy hair down there kind of sucks. Ingrown hairs, however, also suck. Which sucks more? Well, that's for each individual to decide. If I had my druthers, I'd probably just trim the top bit (which is where I get all the ingrown hairs), and shave the lips every couple of weeks. I'm not opposed to the idea of waxing, but, well, I'd feel incredibly awkward trying to find a place I trusted enough to cover my genitals with a molten substance. I mean, hell, I used to go in for massage therapy every two weeks, and my therapist very carefully arranged everything so she never even saw my *breasts* - I'd strip down to panties, lie on the table, and pull the sheet up before she came into the room. The idea of just lying down and spreading 'em for a complete stranger gives me a considerable uncomfortableness.
What other options are there? Every hair removal cream I've ever seen has been thickly plastered with "DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES PUT THIS ON YOUR VAGINA" - even the stuff advertised as "Bikini Line" or whatever is only supposed to be used up top, and *maybe* right where the lips meet the legs. As for shaving, in addition to the abovementioned ingrown hair issue, there's also the time factor. It's not like you can just whip a razor across it and be done, man, there's some fucking *topography* to deal with down there. There are valleys and hills and a certain little nub of a mountain sticking up that you do not want to nick with a razor, ever, oh sweet Christ the pain.
So, OP, my advice: trim up top, shave down below, and if men don't like it, don't fuck 'em.
The multiple women I dated before you made me the happiest motherfucker in the world.
braid it
and then we'll make love
so hot
I feel you on the mane-of-pubes. Mine are really thick and grow back fast, and the only time I ever tried to wax, I got enormous horrible bruises. So, I shave.
First off, if you can get a beard trimmer, it makes things soooooo much easier. Just trim it down as far as it'll go. You can use scissors for this, but it takes longer and you're more likely to cut yourself.
People are going to tell you to shave with the grain, and you can do that, but you're not going to feel smooth afterwards. If you actually want to go smooth, shave very, very carefully against the grain. Use short strokes, stopping often to rinse out the razor (cool water feels good). Don't ever use long strokes; you'll cut yourself in a heartbeat. It helps if you have somewhere to sit where you can get your legs really far apart and scootch up like you're at the gyno's. The edge of the bathtub works well. Go slowly and feel for how the hair is growing.
Afterwards, it's going to feel awesome, maybe a bit itchy. Aloe vera works well for that, although it might sting. The next day, though, you're very likely to have a shaving rash. Cortisone cream feels nice and will help with the itching. Don't shave on Day 2, but on Day 3, you're good to go. Shaving pretty regularly will get the skin used to being shaved and you'll rarely get rashes.
Don't worry if you're with a guy and it's been a couple days since you've shaved. I've never, ever had anyone turn me down because of stubble.
Agreed in full, from a chick who has done the whole shaving completely thing before.... it's a pain. Trimming a bunch and shaving where you feel the least comfortable (thighs, sometimes lips if you're feeling a bit more porn star ish)
I haven't seen anyone talk about ingrown hairs yet. They suck. I am a guy and have shaved "the downstairs forest" on many of occasion. I get maybe 1 every other month. Basically it looks like a giant zit, complete with pus (ewww I know). To get rid of them drain like a normal zit, disinfect, look for a small hair that looks out of place (usually in the center of the affected area) and remove, then disinfect again. My wife gets one about once every 3 months so I know chicks get them too.
P.S. I apologize if I grossed you out.
Kink it if you want to go the extra mile.
noes... for a SO, that would be like going down on a fucking hairbrush!
