Waxing or shaving

So I was never taught proper health so I basically learned everything by myself, luckily I haven’t shaved off one of my lips but I’ve only gotten like 2 successful shaves where everything was bald, and or not prickly same day. I always dread shaving as well, and usually leave it a short bush when I feel extra lazy, but I don’t like doing this for long periods because I am a sweaty girl and I feel better hygiene wise when it is gone.

Could waxing be a better alternative? Or maybe there is better information out there on shaving, I feel like I’ve looked across the internet for tips and advice but the drawings (examples) never look like my meow.

Hey there: so, hair removal is something we consider to be a cosmetic issue, not a health issue (having hair or removing it doesn't change anything per hygiene or health), and we just generally don't give cosmetic advice here. It's just outside what we do as a sex , health and relationships education service, much like talking about how to shave a face or cut one's bangs would be.

I'm afraid I need to refer you to places on the internet that do provide cosmetic information or, alternately, you could talk to a waxer about this, which is probably your best bet. Waxing studios are generally pretty easy to find in most cities and towns these days, and you could stop by one or call in and ask them your questions.
