\u201cA long time ago, you mentioned you\u2019d never shaved or waxed your bikini line,\u201d wrote a reader named Emma. \u201cCould you elaborate on why? I have always wondered!\u201d Well, I\u2019m happy to share\u2026<\/p>\n
My answer is really simple: I have sensitive skin, and I\u2019m a wuss, haha. I don\u2019t want to go into a waxing place and get my hair ripped out; it sounds so painful, omg. Plus, I feel fine having hair there, and my feeling is that if I\u2019m going to bed with someone, I want us both to feel so excited and warm and happy and close that we\u2019re fine with whatever the exact hair situation is on either of our bodies. One caveat: I don\u2019t have a lot of hair, and I think my answer might be different if I had more growing outside my swimsuit area. <\/p>\n
Also, when I was getting back onto the dating scene<\/a>, my sister recommended this bikini trimmer<\/a>. I tried it and liked it, and now I use it whenever I\u2019m in the mood \u2014 probably every couple months \u2014 to have less hair, without needing to fully shave or wax. It\u2019s completely painless and kind of fun to play around with.<\/p>\n Thoughts? So curious to hear what you do and how you feel about it! Every body is different, and people have all sorts of preferences and experiences. As with all body\/sex\/parenting\/relationships\/life questions, \u201cGood for her, not for me.<\/a>\u201d xoxo<\/strong><\/p>\n P.S. Twist: I like the word \u201cmoist\u201d<\/a>, and did you have sex on your wedding night<\/a>? Also, five ways to talk to kids about consent<\/a>, and why I regularly talk about periods with my sons<\/a>.<\/p>\n (Photos from Oddobody<\/a>.)<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/cupofjo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Screenshot-2025-09-09-at-1.09.31-PM.jpeg\")
