I am female and recently stopped shaving 'down there' because my friends gyno told her is was not a good thing to do. But now the area is uncomfortable a lot of the time and I have trimmed it down pretty far but it still is uncomfortable... almost like pulling hair but its not long. I used the shortest setting on my trimmer. Is there anything I can do?

That is not true... shaving down there is difficult there are techniques and everything. The only thing you have to be careful when doing it.

You can always hit up your local esthetician (or cosmetologist) and get it waxed! You must have your hair longer than a 1/4 inch, but no longer than half an inch. It takes the pain out of shaving and potentially cutting yourself.(ouch! ) Do some research on Brazilian waxing and see if its right for you!
