The first pill for low sex drive in women now has competition.The oldest millennials will soon face menopause symptoms like hot flashes and vaginal dryness, but there are ways to combat the worst of it.A week later, she uses salicylic acid pads every few days to prevent ingrown hairs and bacteria from forming. Gunter avoids cleaning her pubic hair area for the remainder of the day, then uses a cleanser and coconut oil on her vulva to disinfect and moisturize the area. Before any hair removal, she asks the waxer test the temperature of the wax on her inner thigh before placing it on her genitals to prevent any burns.She also takes a clean pair of underwear to her appointment and asks the person who is waxing to use a fresh wax stick each time they dip into the hot wax, for cleanliness.

A few hours before she has a wax, Gunter said she cleans the areas around her bikini line with an antibacterial wipe designed for the skin.Instead, Gunter trims the hair over her labia majora. Designed for pubic hair removal, Flamingos at-home wax kit includes 12 double-sided at-home wax strips (24 pulls total) in three sizes, step-by-step. First, she doesn't get waxed on her labia majora (the lips of the outer genitals) or near her anus, since removing hair from those areas could lead to irritation and inflammation as they are made of very delicate skin.Gunter does follow a few self-imposed rules when she goes for a wax, and they're key for anyone doing a home wax, too: "I accept that pubic hair removal has risks, but I prefer that it doesn't stick out of my underwear." While the practice is mainly associated with women, male waxing is sometimes done to remove mens pubic hair. "This doesn't mean that you should do it, as my technique has never been studied," Gunter wrote. Bikini waxing is the removal of pubic hair using a special wax, which can be hot or cold, that adheres to hairs and pulls them out when the wax is removed quickly from the skin, usually with a cloth strip.
