    How Do I Shave the Bottom Parts On My Vagina Lips Without Hurting Myself?
    Okay, I know how to shave and everythinqq but the problem is I don't know how to shave the bottom part, like the part that's like next to my thighs . The rest I can but I'm scared to shave the bottom part because I can't even see if I shave it so I might end up cutting my **** or something. Any advice??

    Are you using a blade or an electric shaver?

    Are you referring to the outer labia (I would guess)?

    My concern is whether you are shaving for yourself because you like the look, feel it's cleaner, OR if you are shaving to compete with your boyfriend's porno - https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/relati...ml#post2463330

    Then you lather up very well, pull the labia toward the center, shave one side. Pull the labia on the other side toward the center, lather up, shave that side.

    How old are you? Your spelling concerns me.

    Okay.. But I'm also scared to cut my finger because it's happened before, and I didn't really want to put my age or anything because then I don't think people would take my questions seriously

    Honestly, it just takes practice, and getting over the fear of cutting yourself. Everyone's body is different, so you have to learn the best way to shave for the way your body's built.

    That said, the easiest way to avoid cutting yourself is to pull the skin tight while you're shaving.

    It might be easier to see what you're doing if you stand and put one foot on the bathroom sink. You can also try sitting down while you shave that area, the side of the tub should work.

    Do we know why OP is shaving? Does this have anything to do with boyfriend watching porno?

    Thus the age question.

    She mentioned in the other thread about the porn that they were both in their teens.

    I apologize bijiou if I am incorrect, but I truly believe you are wanting to do this because of the boyfriend. You obviously haven't tried it before and you are having great concerns about your boyfriend looking at porn... believing he compares you to what he sees. You have said yourself image is low as well.

    Did you boyfriend ask you to do this or is this something you think might spice things up between the two of you?

    Just be sure that if you do it, it is because you really do want to... not to please someone else, not to try and get his attention.

    I know it's lousy when you feel you are being compared, even if he says he isn't, and when you feel like you are not enough.

    Since you have talked about it with him, and if you don't believe he has changed his ways, perhaps you will need to think about whether he is the one you should be with.

    If he doesn't like you the way you are, dump him. Stay true to yourself. Don't do anything you feel uncomfortable with just to please someone else.

    I think, if she wants to shave, even if it is to please a boy, then it's her choice. It's a relatively minor change to make. If she changes her mind, then she doesn't have to shave again, and you won't be able to tell the difference in a couple weeks. On the other hand, she may end up loving it, even if it was begun for the 'wrong' reasons.

    If it is for her, then she still may end up deciding it isn't worth the trouble.

    Regardless of WHY she wants to shave, and rather or not it becomes a regular thing, it's reasonable for her to want to know how to do so with the least amount of pain.

    I agree... it certainly is her choice. Just wondered at the motive behind it, which may indeed be irrelevant.

    I just hate to see too many girls, and women as well, do things they normally wouldn't do in an effort to please a guy out of fear of not being good enough, or that he won't be interested in them if they don't.

    If it's something she wants to try out, great. As you said, if she doesn't like it, she can let it grow back.

    I think she's shaving to please a boy who watches porn. That's sick. She should be herself and be comfortable with herself.

    Her asking the question its self shows me she's scared.

    If you cut yourself maybe you shouldn't try it again. :) :)

    If you are afraid to give your age, then we won't take you very seriously, because it's a big difference to us, the advice we give to a 14 year old, and an 18 year old so come clean for the sake of HONESTY.

    She has another thread.

    You have to pull the skin tight, while you're shaving. Hold onto the inner lips and pull toward the opposite side. It's really the only thing that works. Just be extra careful about where you put the razor in relation to your fingers.

    She has refused to give her age on her other threads, also.

    I didn't feel this was sexual information, inappropriate for her age. She asked about shaving and that's the info she got (as far as I know).

    Perhaps thread should be closed if this is inappropriate at her age - whatever her age is.
