Depilatory cream for intimate areas. Which is better, how pain reliever works, male, during pregnancy

The bacteria living on the hair in the groin can cause a rash and severe infection. Dermatologists advise removing hair with a disposable razor or wax. Depilation of intimate areas with cream is a solution for everyone who has a low pain threshold and who cares about their hygiene and aesthetics.

Depilation cream: pros and cons

Hair removal chemicals also kill bacteria living on them. The cream does not require preliminary preparation of the skin, and the depilation process takes a maximum of 15 minutes.

The cream removes not only the visible part of the hair, but also a millimeter of its subcutaneous part. The top end of the hair remains rounded, rather than pointed as when using a razor. When such hair grows back, it is less noticeable and felt when touched. This method does not entail cuts or wounds. The risk of irritation is very small.
