How long after childbirth should I wait to use hair removal cream down there?

I feel disgusted with all that hair down there. I want to know how long should I wait to use hair removal cream? I had a vaginal delivery with long tear.. I was wondering if I can clean only the bikini area with the cream and not the whole area

To me, a woman who removes the hair from her pubic area doesn't look any better than a woman who has all her hair there, and I've never met a man who felt one way was better than the other, either. But perhaps you are saying your man does feel that way and so you want to be attractive to him? If so, please don't forget that you're supposed to have "total pelvic rest" after giving birth, meaning, no sex until the doctor gives you the all clear.

Lol no. My husband doesn't care. But for me, it bothers me. I feel disgusted. I always clean my hair twice a month down there. I was wondering when it is safe to clean after child birth

This is a question I've never heard in all my time here.  :>)  So, when I had my kids, I had a well check appointment after at 6 weeks. That's when I got the all clear.  I'd 'trim' up without shaving or using chemicals down there until then!

I was curious lol. So did you clean your area before your 6th week appointment? My hair grows fast, and it seems so bushy down there. I feel very disgusted. How did you clean?

Please do yourself a favor and re-define in your mind the fact that your body naturally grows hair in your lady region as something "disgusting" that needs to be "cleaned." There is nothing unclean about hair in the pubic area. Shave or cream if you like, but just know, it's normal to have it, and a lot of men think it's attractive. Love yourself enough at least to not think it's ugly.
