Can you pluck your bikini line?
Tweezing. It’s a little time-consuming and can be painful, but tweezing your pubes is a low-risk way to get rid of stray curlies along the bikini line. According to Dr. White, this method plucks hair out at the root without irritating the skin (the way waxing or a depilatory can).
How do I remove hair from my pubic area?

- Hold the skin tight and shave slowly and gently in the direction that your hairs grow.
- Rinse your razor after each swipe.

Can epilator be used for pubic hair removal?
Generally, it is safe to remove pubic hair by using mechanical epilator devices. Tweezer-based epilators are less painful and as effective as needle-based epilators.
