Perhaps this has been asked before however I just recently began shaving my diaper area. Firstly because I believe it cuts down on body/urine odor throughout the day and secondly, I kinda like the look. Just looking for advise.

I currently am shaving every morning during my shower. I use a Bic razor and shower gel as it seems to work quite well. Once I towel off I apply an ample amount of lotion to the newly shaved area.

So any tips on technique or anything that lessens regrowth of hair.

I tried shaving my diaper area once. I ended up with a rash that didn't want to go away. Then there was the itch when the hair grew back. I've not shaved it since.

Have you ever noticed how this subject has a way of coming around? I've been there done that I use to do it once in awhile if I had a rash back when that use to be a more common issue. Now I find if I just keep myself (how should I say) well Groomed or Mowed down there Basically just keep it real short I'm good to go If you shave it all off you have to go through the itching stage as it grows back Which when in public can be a real issue Beside if you get any kind of razor burn it will really burn if any pee hits it
To each they're own. my two cents says keep it short not shaved.

I too have seen this one come back around on other incontinence sites as well.

Everyone will have a different experience with this. For the last two years I have been keeping it all off. I have been blessed that when it starts to grow back it doesn't start itching. For me it has helped me keep smell down and rashes away. I use diaper rash cream a lot and keeping it clean and clear helps clean up as well.

We all have to find what works best for us.
