I'm finding it a bit difficult to reach and clean my pubic area properly now that my belly is growing. What are some good and safe ways to keep the pubic area clean and hygienic during pregnancy?
Just stick to mild, unscented soap and warm water for the outer area. Avoid any harsh hair removal creams or vaginal washes because they can mess with your pH and cause infections. A simple trimmer or asking your partner for help works safely.
Looking back, trying to shave with that huge bump was so funny and scary! I used to just sit on a stool in the shower and use a trimmer carefully. Don't worry too much about keeping it perfectly clean, simple warm water is more than enough.
With my twin bump, I couldn't even see my feet, let alone my pubic area! I used a handheld mirror and a basic trimmer, or honestly, just asked my husband to help me shave. Don't try any acrobatic moves in the bathroom, safety first!
Keeping clean is important especially when you are doing your daily prenatal yoga or walks and sweating more. I found that gently washing with plain warm water after my active hours worked best. If you need to trim, do it safely sitting down to avoid any slips.
I was so scared of getting an infection or cutting myself during my pregnancy. I avoided wax completely because of the pain and skin sensitivity. Just use plain water or a very mild baby wash, and be extremely slow and careful if you are trimming.
