Serious question. Really. I have shaved once a long time ago and want to go smooth for the summer BUT don't want to shave. Any other REAL advice would be great. Thanks.

God!!! Don't do it! The skin in your private area is VERY VERY sensitive, and Nair (even Nair for Bikini areas) burns like hell fire. Leaving you partially "cleaned", with the rest red and burning for days on end. Get the area waxed. It'll cost about $50 and last for about 3 months.

I tried it once on my legs and had a severe allergic reaction to it. My legs broke out and turned red and felt like a severe burn. Don't believe that stuff about testing a small area first,either, I did that. I had no reaction for 2 days! But, when I did the entire leg, I suffered what appeared to be serious burns. The doctor said that it is very common to have that kind of reaction after using any of those products. Apparently, they see that quite often. It took about a week before I stopped hurting and that was with meds. So, I don't recommend it at all!

LOL. Twig and Berries. hahahahaha!!!!!!! That's a new one.
I wouldn't recommend using Nair down there. It stings like crazy when I put it on my legs, I can't imagine what it must do to someones er....twigs and berries.
Best bet is to get one of those thin razors that are meant for the sensitive bikini area of women. Although I guess guys should be able to use it too. You can find them with the regular razors at the stores.

DON'T! There are places chemical burns would suck and you've named the top three. Nair is a chemical agent that burns away the hair below the skin line. Unless this is an area desensitized by multiple shavings that is naturally resistent to chemicals, you'll get a horribly painful burn.

There is a Nair for men but it is highly recommend not to be used in the private areas. Can cause severe burn and other reactions. Your stuck with shaving and or gulp waxing.

Nair weakens the hair after a few minutes causing it to loosen. I wouldn't recommend it down there because you will probably end up with an itchy rash that will look like you have a disease.

You can buy Nair for Men, but they recommend you don't use it down there. I would recommend a beard trimmer, you can get pretty smooth without getting upsetting your skin.

Nair is a chemical that burns things off. I don't think you want a burn there.

nair uses chemicals to burn the hair away so I wouldn't recommend it for any personal area...it hurts so bad and it causes more ingrown hairs.
