Reasons to shave your buttocks can be both aesthetic and hygienic
Many people shave the buttocks area primarily for aesthetic reasons. Perfectly smooth skin is in vogue, especially among women.
However, the trend of male grooming is also gaining popularity among men. Hairless skin is seen by many as a symbol of cleanliness, youth, and beauty. Another reason for shaving in these areas might be to meet your partner’s preferences.
In addition to attractiveness, hygiene is another key factor supporting the shaving of the buttocks.
Removing hair from the buttocks can help keep the area cleaner and reduce potential odor, especially during warm months or intense physical exercise.
Hair in the buttocks area tends to trap sweat and bacteria, which can lead to discomfort or even infections. Clean and smooth skin around the anus is also important for preventing hemorrhoids.
Thus, shaving the buttocks is not only a matter of aesthetics and fashion trends but also has a real impact on our comfort and health.
How to shave your butt hair correctly
Shaving hair on your buttocks is quite a delicate and challenging task. It is ideal to have a partner to assist you, but with a bit of effort, you can manage it on your own.
For such cases, here are some tips on how to shave intimate areas.
Use a quality shaver
The more adventurous ones can also shave with a classic razor, but we can’t recommend that too highly.
It’s safer to use a razor, ideally one specifically designed for the buttocks or rectum.
Yes, they do sell these, or there are specialised attachments for the buttocks. After all, you don’t want to shave your anus and face with the same razor or blade, do you?
Make sure the razor isn’t dull before using it, which could cause unnecessary cuts and irritation.
Also equip yourself with a good quality shaving foam or gel and then just follow the instructions on how to do it.
How to shave your buttocks
When shaving, you should do the following:
- Take a specialised razor with a new head, a hand mirror, shaving foam and step into a warm shower. Wash the area you want to shave thoroughly with soap.
- Make sure the shaver head is really new, or that you are using a specialised razor for the buttocks and not confusing it with the one you use on your face.
- Apply shaving foam to your butt, and don't skimp.
- Hold the mirror in one hand to see your entire buttocks and the razor in the other and start shaving from the top of your back down to the beginning of your thighs.
- Rinse the machine head and repeat until you are satisfied with the result.
How to shave the rectal area
- Start as you would with shaving your buttocks. Take a hand mirror, a razor with a new head and shaving foam.
- Wash the rectal area under a warm shower, soap and rinse again. Instead of traditional soap, use a special shaving soap or gel in this sensitive area.
- Apply shaving foam.
- Squat over the mirror so you can see what you're doing.
- Gently shave the visible areas of the anus. Do not overdo it and do not go too deep with the machine. You really don't want cuts or irritation in these areas.
Keep in mind that newly shaved hairs will grow back and create stubble just like elsewhere.
As you walk, this stubble in the anal area will rub against itself, and for a while, it won’t be comfortable. This is just a fact you’ll have to accept when shaving, or you might want to try other traditional methods.
Not that they are much better, though.
- The use of depilatory creams that dissolve hair is not recommended in the sensitive area of the anus. You can use it at most on the buttocks.
- Waxing is another option. This is also a painful procedure, especially in the sensitive rectal area. Moreover, it is difficult to do it yourself in this area. The advantage may be that it can rid you of hair for a little longer. But is it worth the pain?
Skin care after shaving the buttocks
- After shaving, rinse the area with cool water, which helps to close the pores and soothe the skin. Gently dry the skin with a towel instead of rubbing roughly.
- Apply a gentle, moisturizing, alcohol-free aftershave product to the shaved area to soothe and moisturize the skin.
- To minimize the risk of irritation and ingrown hairs, gently exfoliate the area regularly to remove dead skin cells. Avoid wearing clothes that are too tight, which can cause friction.
- If pimples appear on the buttocks, it may be the result of bacteria clogging the pores, increased friction from clothing or the accumulation of dead skin cells. The best prevention is to keep the area clean and dry. Use mild products containing salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide to treat pimples.
What is the best solution for butt hair?
Home hair removal for the buttocks may be cheaper and offer more privacy, but there are good reasons to opt for buttock laser hair removal at a professional salon instead.
- Only laser hair removal can permanently destroy the hair. With other methods, you have to accept the fact that you will be removing hairs repeatedly and they will keep growing back.
- Epilation in the salon is professional and discreet. It is natural to feel shame when epilating intimate areas such as the buttocks. But remember that to experienced professionals, you are just one of hundreds of clients and they are more interested in getting the job done in the best possible way rather than your appearance.
- The initial higher cost of in-salon laser hair removal may seem high to you. But in the long run, laser hair removal can be much more economical when you consider the amount of money and time spent on at-home methods.
- In a professional salon, your safety is a priority. Standard procedure includes a consultation to address potential risks and adjust the laser to your skin type. The lasers used in the salon are medical grade, equipped with a cooling system and designed to target only the hair without damaging the surrounding skin.
Professional laser hair removal can save you hours of time that you can spend more enjoyably.
