Depilatories
After you saw a riveting *Who wears short shorts? She wears short shorts," commercial, I'm sure you rushed to the store to buy Nair. These types of products, which basically melt hair away, contain chemicals. I don't know about you, but I try to keep dangerous things away from my nether region. If you can handle the smell, save the depilatories for your legs or the moustache you're in denial about.
Electrolysis
If you want to say goodbye to your pubes for good, electrolysis is your godsend. The procedure involves putting a needle into the hair follicle and sending an electromagnetic pulse to stop the hair from growing. The cost ranges from $45 to more than $100 an hour and the amount of time it takes to remove hair varies with each person. An upper lip can take an hour. A guy's back can push 150 hours. The treatment can also take months to complete.
Plucking
Plucking Save it for your eyebrows or splinters. Unless you want to spend hours inspecting your anatomy, this is best reserved for stray hairs.
