Using depilatory creams might be an easy solution to remove the hair from the genital area-but it’s only for a day or two. You might want to try a cold or warm waxing, which is quite painful but lasts for a few weeks, though it brings a risk for developing hair follicle infections (furuncles). Laser hair removal is another option (done only by a doctor-specialist in dermatology, if trained to use the laser properly), however there might be a degree of pain, a risk for skin burns and it might turn out not to be “a 100 per cent” result, so it will need repeating. If all is taken under consideration, maybe the “natural hairy way” is the only option that is completely healthy, painless, and risk-free.
