Alright ladies... just a warning. You may not want to read this one. It's gross, and I don't think you'll be able to relate (luckily for you). Got your curiosity up? Well go ahead, if you want. But I warned you....

Guys, the question follows below...

Okay. Question for you guys with hair on your butt (specifically, inside your butt cheeks). I thought about putting this in the Rant forum, or even in the Humor forum, but figured this was a better place.

So, don't you hate having hair down there? You wipe and wipe, and later on you find your anus is really irritated and you can't figure out why. So... you do a little "investigation" and find out there is poop trapped in the hair which is causing the perianal irritation. Ugh! I hate that!

Can anyone relate? Have you tried anything to mitigate this problem? The only reasonable thing I can think of is to give things a feel prior to getting up to make sure there's nothing caught in the hair.

Gross.

You COULD trim that hair with a round-ended scissors after a shower.

I use only pampers sensative wet wipes. Works great to keep things clean!

It takes more than something like that to gross me out. Here they are known as dingleberries.

Why not just get your electric razor down there? Us ladies do have to shave or wax our bikini lines down there so I'm sure you guys could do the same. It would be safer than using scissors or a bic razor.

Just a suggestion.

NY-Pouch, thanks for the suggestion. I no longer use flushable wipes because I usually don't need them, and they are too much of a pain to carry around with me when I'm out. But they do indeed clean up better. Maybe I'll reconsider.

Razors, scissors - you guys must think I'm a contortionist or something There's no way either of those will be going in between my butt cheeks I'm not sure an electric one could even get in there. Besides, the maintenance would be no good (not to mention the itch potential). But thanks for the suggestions!

I did get a PM suggesting a rinse bottle to squirt things clean. That would work, as long as I hadn't eaten, say... raisins or something. They can really get caught.

Shell - the dingleberry (at least here) refers to the turd that won't fall out completely rather than a bit of poo that won't wipe off.

Speak for yourself, Shell. I've never bikini waxed or shaved (actually I don't really understand it). I can't imagine dealing with the stubble itch in such a tender area...

Sounds like a true dilemma for the guys---you are such gorillas (hair-wise, not temperament)!

A scissors has been working for me for 17 years. But if you can't reach, surely someone else could.

Hi

When I don't want to gross out my wife ;
I use Nair in the roll-on bottle, wait 4-5 minutes and take a shower, comes off, dingleberries & all, you'll just have to watch the drain.
If the hair is hanging on for dear life, take a twin blade disposable and stroke your rear a few times (carefully) and the hair will fall off

Good luck

Yikes! Doesn't the Nair sting? Otherwise, that's a promising idea. And it's even more comforting to know that a couple of you actually deal with this I might actually try some of these things out, but not the scissors - I don't think so. Maybe if my dog were able he would do it, but I seriously doubt my wife or daughter would care to. I wouldn't

I have razored it a few times before and it's no big deal. I was told to try that years ago because my UC was having me go so often and the irritation was too much. Since then I've regularly used wet wipes instead, to good effect, but the razor thing is easy. Just squat down in the shower, soap it up and razor it off. The first time it was a little awkward, but subsequent times it was easy. The hair grows back really slowly and it only itched a little bit the first time but subsequent times it didn't seem to bother me. When the toilet trips are messy, having now hair there is nice.

What could possibly be a better topic to talk about on a Friday night...Razoring the butt
I have used a razor...I go very lightly. It did work wonders because it helped with the burning a lot and it makes it much easier to wipe clean. The hair does grow slowly because I don't have to do it too often.
hope this helps

I have used a trimmer made by conair it is the size of a large marker and has a two sided trimming head. It will not cut or catch on skin. It's nice to know that I am not the only who has to deal with this dilemma. It's a great question! There is a Nair product for men, but I don't think it is intended for use in the neither regions, tho I could be wrong.

Keep Smiling

Promise not to tell?



Many girls have hair there too! But I would caution anyone shaving 'down there' to be careful not to create a situation where you could cause ingrown hairs. These can become infected and cause even more pain. I know . . . because before U/C and all my surgeries, I was a bikini-area shaver . . . and now I deal with some folliculitis, which is not comfortable at all.

Using water when you clean is a good way to help wash away any offending and stubborn stuff hiding out . . . .

RE- Nair:

If you leave it on for more than 4/5 minutes, it sure does sting like------
I suggest using the roll-on, then hopping in a shower within 5 minutes to hose it off with the 'telephone' hose shower-head many of us have.

Nair smells rather awful so 5 minutes is as long as I can stand anyway
