Shaving pubic hair

How do they go about shaving ones pubic hair while in the hospital? Do they do it with a Bic type razor? Do they use shaving cream? Soap? Do them trim it close with scissors first?

MMM intresting question when i was in hospital for testicle damage they said they needed my pubic hair removed and they would shave me i told them not to worry as im already shaved bald and pulled my gown up showing the nurse 😜 i know when i shave myself or patients i use a gillete razor and trimmer for long pubic hair 😁

How do they go about shaving ones pubic hair while in the hospital? Do they do it with a Bic type razor? ...Soap?

That is how it was done when I had surgery almost twenty years ago. The nurse had a kit that contained a disposable razor and a sponge that was impregnated with a special soap. Just add water. No shaving cream and no trimming first.

She shaved me from the waistline to mid-thigh. Quite an experience.

Sure after a such experience you will agree the depilation at home before to enter the hospital . . .

It burns when just done , and after when the hairs are coming out what a sub fun .

Most of the experiences I've heard about did use a Bic-type disposable razor and lather from a soap and brush.

Sometime in the 70s, as an 'outpatient' my sister had to be shaved (this was just the immediate area around her vulva, the main 'triangle' of hair wasn't taken off) and the nurse who did it asked her if she preferred to have it done with soap or talcum powder (the only instance of this that I have heard of), she opted for the soap but asked for the talc to be applied afterwards.

They use an eletic shaver.

Rushed into hospital recently with a suspected heart attack. I had an emergency angiogram done. As part of the preperation for that, a technician told me to raise my bottom so she could remove my pants. As soon as she had done so, a nurse said, " I will just have to shave your groin area." She uncovered my groin completely and with a small electric razor, shaved all the right side of my pubic hair off.

To be honest, it was done so matter of fact, and I was high on morphine for the pain, that it was the least of my concerns at the time.

Both the nurse and the lab technician were young and very attractive, but I didn't even blush, until I saw the nurse latter and she asked if I was sore from the shaving. 😳

I was sedated the only time I was shaved. Don't know how they did it, but glad I wasn't awake to show my enjoyment

In hospitals I've seen in done with an electric razor, with a bic and soap/water but very commonly done in the past with a bic and talc.

When you know that you will be shaved (male or female) do it at home before, it will be more comfortable and eventually more sexy, but also bring you both closer before the surgical intervention, and this is quiet positive.

My ex was shaved with a razor without soap, I proposed her to depilate her vulva, for our firth birth, she refused. I saw some blood on her pubis, for the second baby she grin at my proposal but agree, my ex had understand after the first experiment.

I shave my wife reguraly as we both like her smooth. Over the years we have found that a product called the Venus Breeze works extremely well since it has gel type shaving lotion incorporated in the shaving head. All you need is a class of warm water. By the way, if any ladies in the bay area would like, contact me here. The barber will make house calls.

An electric shaver of course. That way then can do it with their eyes closed so as not to embarrass the patient. LOL

Also less messy than shave creme and all -no?

Only time ever needed it was with cheapest razor possible soap and told to get on with it.

These days they use electric clippers that leave some stubble. This has been found to decrease skin infections. Razor shaving inevitably causes skin irritation and small cuts. These breaks in the skin are a pathway for bacteria.

Even if you shave regularly, they'll suggest that you stop some days before your surgery to let the skin heal.

When I was about 11 I went into the hospital. The evening before the surgery a nurse took me to what I remember being like a dedicated bath area. It was about 1969 in an older east coast hospital. The tile room literally had an old claw foot tub. I was nervous as hell having some women bath me. She literally was bathing me like she was my parent.

I was shivering because she was just soaping me up and using a spray handle to rinse me. No water in the tub.

After a complete head to toe bath with Phisohex, what little genital hair I had at that age was shaved with a razor and a soapy wash cloth. I was embarrassed as hell when my little pecker started to harden.

I had a friend who was going to have surgery to repair ligaments in her hip. She said she was going to have to be shaved but she decided to get waxed so it wouldn't itch when it grew back.

Had to be shaved down there for surgery. I was not too happy about it but it had to be done. They use a small electric razor. It is done quickly. Eventually the hair grew back.

I shaved myself a couple of years ago when I was getting a vasectomy.

My husband prefers me shaved...however unless we are going to have to sex, I usually just let it grow. With regards to my exams, i shave my kitty up nice and clean prior to being displayed for Dr. H and my hubby.

Having had a minor heart attack the consultant decided that I had an angiogram to rule out those unseen problems within, and this would confirm that I was healthy enough to leave hospital. There is a hospital in London that deals in heart problems and I was to be transported there after being washed and examined to be declared fit for travel. For what seemed like most of the afternoon I was kept naked on top of the bed and when the ambulance men came I was transferred to a trolley and have a blanket put over me. From ward to ambulance the journey was via staff only corridors and walk ways, and while it was warm inside I could see the rain falling outside. In the ambulance I was allowed to sit up so I could be monitored, and yes, it was a bit humiliating to feel my breast jiggling about as the vehicle went over bumps and potholes.

At the hospital I was taken to a ward where the blanket was removed and I was examined by several people. At this place my procedure, at the time was about £7,500, and because I was an NHS patient I was made very aware of the fact that I was not rich enough to be able to pay for my treatment. I did tell the nurse who was assigned to care for me that the consultant sent me there and the decision was out of my hands. The nurse asked me to get off the trolley and move onto a bed, and I should try to urinate into a bowl.

I really couldn't go and got onto the bed as I was allocated another nurse with a very strong Dutch / German accent that came from somewhere in South Africa, so I was told, and because of her attitude I decided that I really didn't like her. Because I had not urinated publically she made such that I was catheterised, an activity that wasn't very pleasant. She looked at me and asked why I hadn't shaved and I said that I was asked to do so, and quite frankly I really couldn't see down there to do the job they required. My shave was dry and not very comfortable, and only just enough hair was removed to make the job good enough.

In a way I was quite proud of my lady garden but that snotty bitch of a nurse had deliberately messed it up. I was asked why I didn't shave on a regular basis and was lectured about feminine hygiene and products that would keep me smelling of flowers and summer breezes. I did remind the nurse that I washed twice a day, and had done so for at least 50 years and I had never had a problem down below.

The job done I was moved back to the original hospital with my upper thighs restrained to ensure the wound healed up properly. During the night I did have a bleed and two male nurses came to my assistance. There was no question of removing my pubic hair for convenience of getting rid of the matted hair and blood. They cleaned me up and made me comfortable. After the hospital my husband shaved me daily while the wound healed and then I suggested that my pubic hair grow back to its former glory, and it has only been trimmed to keep it neat and tidy.

They clip the bulk of it off with clippers, like a beard trimmer. then shave with a razor.

Because I have shaved since puberty, any surgery or other medical procedure that would have required shaving has never needed. In fact, I have had nurses, both male and female, comment that more patients should have shaved prior to coming to hospital because it helps ensure the skin won't be as irritated from newly being shaved and any antiseptic applied won't sting as badly. If any electrodes have to be applied or surgical tape to keep IV needles in place, they can be easily removed without pulling hair. Aside from the comments about being shaved, doctors and nurses most often comment on no tan line (I'm a nudist) and the tattoos.

Not in the last 15-20 years. Shaving has been shown to increase postoperative infection so it isn't used anymore. They use an electric clipper with a sterile, disposable head that leaves short stubble and no skin irritation.

A bic type razor is used for shaving pubic hair when necessary, but the discomfort follows when the hair begin to grow-itching and bumps are noticed at the site. Using talcum powder usually reduces the discomfort post-shaving

During my recent surgery, it wasn't in the pubic area, but I had expected they would shave the areas before surgery. But, I awoke after to find nothing had been done at all. So, taking the bandages off was a lot less fun, when the time came.

If I'd known, I'd have done it myself, with an electric body shaver. Normally, I keep myself smooth all over, but this winter I had a bad case of eczema, so I hadn't shaved anywhere below the neck for some months. What a bad time to still be hairy!

I trim pubic hair with an electric clipper after pt is under anesthesia if pt has not trimmed her pubic hair

About 12-13 years ago I had a vasectomy. The urologist shaved me himself with a weird looking metal razor, I think it's called a safety razor (?). Definitely not a disposable plastic one. He shaved me dry too, no water or shaving cream involved. He had me lie back, he put a towel under my balls and over my legs, picked up my penis, and shaved all the hair off my scrotum onto the towel. When he was done, he just wadded the hair up in the towel, gave my scrotum a quick wipe, and moved on to the next task. Only took a minute or two.

When I have injections into my hip socket every couple years, the imaging tech uses electric clippers. These leave very short stubble, but actually do a pretty good job for as quick and easy as they are. The bad thing about this for me is that it tickles.

I had surgery in my groin and abdomen a year ago. Not sure how they shaved me then as they waited until I was put under. When I woke up I was shaved from the top of my scrotum to my nipples. My happy trail really itched growing back.

Went in to surgery with full hair in the region woke up with bold cock and a bag connected to my......
