They didn't have to shave me, thank god. (TMI whitefont) I waxed once for vacation with a man (yes, I'm embarrased). When it came back in, it drove me INSANE. Now, I just trim with scissors. I've learned my lesson.

Does it really work, megan? I've heard yes, and no...I'll probably do it, but I wonder when I can start slapping on the mooisterizer.
I've never had to wax or shave, so it's driving me NUTS. Also, I'm wondering WHY they did it -- my slice is at least three inches up from any foliage...and we're talking sad little autumn leaves on the sidewalk, not a full glorious oak in summer.

Erin, I highly recommend Mederma as a cheap topical cream to reduce scars. It made a huge difference when I used it consistently.

I've heard you shouldn't use vitamin E right away though...I'd do some research on that...
See, now, the few times I've shaved that area, it itched like crazy growing back. But waxing doesn't itch for me growing back (possibly becuase it's not all growing back at once, if it was done properly). If waxing weren't so freakin' EXPENSIVE I'd have it done all the time.

I'll ask my doctor. I go back in a week and a half; I don't think I want to use anything but soap and water on the slice till then.

Yeah, I didn't use it right away. I think it helped, but who the hell knows? I do know that you have to look really hard to find any scar.

I'm not sure why my Hubby knows about Hair Care Down There, but he says if you Nair the area instead of shaving, you'll get rounded tips coming back in instead of the sharp-edged hairs you get with shaving.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The ability to correctly answer the question, "What's the worst thing that could happen here?" is often underappreciated....

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Huh. Sounds like he's from the same School of DIY as my dad.
(My dad has performed surgery upon himself. Using a stanley knife. On his...well, let's just say that I've never seen the scar, and have no intention of seeing it. But I assume that his Jewish ancestors were pleased.)
