Hair removal can work wonders for boosting your femininity and attractiveness, especially when it comes to taking care of your bikini area.
In this blog post for crossdressers and transgender women, I’ll share everything you need to know about MTF bikini hair removal.
You’ll discover the best hair removal methods, their pros and cons, and crucial tips you can’t afford to miss.
Now, let’s dive in and learn how to achieve a flawless bikini area!
Shaving
Shaving is a simple and affordable method of removing hair from the bikini area, allowing for convenient at-home hair removal.
Pros:
- Quick and easy hair removal method
- Inexpensive compared to other hair removal methods
- Conveniently done in the comfort of your own home
Cons:
- Potential for razor burn, ingrown hairs, and razor bumps
- Hair regrowth can happen quickly and feel coarse or stubbly
- Requires frequent upkeep to maintain smooth skin
Tips:
- Start with exfoliation: Gently exfoliate the bikini area before shaving to remove dead skin cells and prevent ingrown hairs.
- Use a sharp razor: Ensure you’re using a clean, sharp razor blade to minimize irritation and achieve a closer shave.
- Shave in the direction of hair growth: Shave in the same direction as hair growth to reduce the likelihood of razor burn and ingrown hairs.
- Moisturize afterward: Apply a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer after shaving to soothe and hydrate the skin.
Waxing
Waxing is a popular method for bikini hair removal, offering longer-lasting results compared to shaving. It can be done at home or by a professional.
Pros:
- Results last longer than shaving
- Slower hair regrowth, often resulting in finer hair
- No more shaving nicks or cuts
Cons:
- Can be painful, especially for those with sensitive skin
- Can be expensive, particularly when done at a salon
- Risk of ingrown hairs, especially in the bikini area
Tips:
- Trim hair to a suitable length: Trim bikini hair to about a quarter-inch before waxing for more effective results.
- Test wax temperature: Check the wax temperature on a small area to avoid burns.
- Stretch the skin: Hold the skin taut while applying the wax strip to minimize discomfort and ensure a cleaner removal.
- Apply soothing products: After waxing, apply a soothing gel or aloe vera to calm the skin and reduce redness or inflammation.
Depilatory Creams
Depilatory creams, also known as hair removal creams, dissolve the hair at the skin’s surface using chemicals.
Pros:
- Can be done at home
- Quick and easy hair removal method
- Slower hair regrowth compared to shaving
Cons:
- Chemicals in the cream can cause skin irritation
- Results may not last as long as other methods
- Strong odor
Tips:
- Patch test first: Perform a patch test on a small area to check for adverse reactions or allergies before applying the cream to a larger area.
- Follow the instructions: Read and carefully follow the instructions on the depilatory cream packaging for safe and effective use.
- Apply an even layer: Use a spatula or applicator to apply a smooth, even layer of the cream for full coverage.
- Remove with caution: Gently remove the cream at the specified time using a damp cloth or the provided spatula, avoiding rubbing or scraping the skin.
Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal offers a long-term solution by targeting and destroying hair follicles using laser technology, resulting in reduced hair growth over time.
Pros:
- Long-lasting results
- Less painful than waxing
- Eliminates ingrown hairs
Cons:
- Can be expensive
- Multiple sessions required for optimal results
- Not effective on all hair types and skin tones (especially light hair and dark skin tones)
Tips:
- Consult a professional: Seek a consultation with a licensed professional to determine if laser hair removal is suitable for you and discuss the specific treatment plan.
- Avoid sun exposure: Minimize sun exposure to the bikini area before and after laser sessions to reduce the risk of skin damage or pigmentation changes.
- Shave before treatment: Shave the bikini area a day or two before your laser session to enable effective targeting of hair follicles without burning surface hair.
- Follow aftercare instructions: Adhere to the recommended aftercare instructions provided by the professional, which may involve avoiding hot baths, exfoliation, or specific skincare products to protect the treated area.
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light)
IPL is similar to laser hair removal, but it uses a different kind of light. Instead of a concentrated laser beam, IPL uses a broader spectrum of light that isn’t as focused.
Because of this, IPL can cover a larger treatment area, but it takes more sessions since the light is less powerful.
Pros:
- Faster than laser hair removal since it covers a larger area
- Good availability of at-home devices
- Usually less painful than laser hair removal
Cons:
- Requires more sessions compared to laser hair removal
- More risk of irritation due to the broader light spectrum used
- Can only be used on lighter skin tones / darker hair tones
Tips:
- Choose the right device: Invest in a high-quality IPL device that is suitable for your skin and hair type.
- Prepare your skin: Before using IPL, shave your skin to ensure that the IPL light targets the hair follicles directly.
- Follow the treatment schedule: Consistency is key for effective IPL hair removal, so be sure to follow the treatment schedule provided by the manufacturer.
- Protect your skin: After IPL treatment, your skin may be more sensitive to sunlight. Apply sunscreen to the treated areas whenever they are exposed to the sun.

Yes, I started out shaving and stopped. Tired of nick here nick there. I asked around and started using Veet and have had No problems. Smooth as a new born butt,feels so nice. Put it on thick for about 5 min. and hit the shower with a sponge and that’s it. Been using it a year now. Like Nair just be careful. No more nicks.
i love veet works great my gg friends turned me on to it…i use it all over…
Hello everyone my wife and I have been shaving for a long time we found a product called Coochy that really works good for all areas. We found it on eBay and have been using it for a year or so. Soft feeling skin and my wife is totally rash free but I still get a few bumps now and then. We just read a artical and I am trying one of there thoughts and that is after shaving use milk of magnesia original flavor all over the shaved areas and then rinse it off with cold water. So far so good.
I always shave and clip pubic hair . I use an alovera cream after and never have a problem .
I like to trim my pubic hair into a heart shape, after shaping it the daily routine of keeping it nice and smooth around the heart is quite enjoyable. I have used a dye made just for pubic hair and the colors add a really nice touch. Just another little thing to make you feel extra sexy and have some fun doing it.
Posted in the wrong spot, smart bikini if the web address on the box, I bought most of mine from e-Bay, but I have seen it other places. It mixes up real thick so you don’t have to worry about it being too messy, I liked the pink and orange, but they have several other colors. I have used just regular hair dye with good results, it is fun and fem

Could you please give me some links, names or pictures of that product and it’s results?

I’ve been shaving everything for so long I can’t remember just how long, but the best thing I’ve found is Bikini Zone Gel w/moisture beads, and I use the Venus Embrace razor. I agree that a loofah is great, or any nylon puff ball works as well. For that lil itch you can use Caladryl Clear lotion. Have fun ladies!
Hey, Jennifer i agree with you i have been shaving for many years and the feeling and smoothness is relaxing clean and refreshing admittedly i have problems getting into the small hard to get to places after many years i moved to using “Skin so soft hair removal cream” and it works well i do my legs chest and my male/female vagina area yes i have now very few little nicks and burns you learn by experience.
There is no question, High Jean in this area is of utmost im port ance! Nothing spoils a nice sexy feeling faster then pewbs sticking out everywhere from an elegant pair of panties. I’m sorry but hair down their unkempt is not sexy.
I have been totally bare down there for a few months, i conditioner and shave , i find less irritation although may purchase a bodygroomer as normal shaver doesn’t quite get the hair off with the fist pass, have to pass a couple of times. The feeling is great and my wife loves it as well.
HI all I have been using emjoi optima for over 5 years I started on my legs then the chest back on my face then on my bikini only thing is that you have to cut the hair short or have a bikini wax first and it is very importin to take a long hot buble bath with aloe vera first the hair will come out with less pain and you have hardly have any ingrown hairs. it last 4 to 6 weeks and the hair come back finer each time. love teresa ps I hope this helps you out girls.
