Let’s be real – getting that smooth, flawless bikini line without screaming at your reflection or fighting with ingrowns? Yeah, it’s a whole thing. And if you've tried a few methods, you already know not all of them are created equal. So, I'm here to spill the tea on what works, what kinda works, and what’s a total no-go for your sensitive bits. So here’s your no-filter guide to hair removal, ranked from most irritating to least 👇
#5 Epilators – Painful and Problematic
Epilators are one of those “sounds good in theory” situations. But yeah... the ouch factor is REAL. Sure, it promises to remove the hair from the root, but at what cost? Micro-tears in your skin and enough irritation to make you rethink everything.
What’s the damage?
Hurts like a bad breakup.
Can bruise, irritate, and still cause ingrown hairs.
Works on wet skin, but don't expect miracles.
If you have very few, thin hair and don't mind the epilation pain then MAYBE it can work. But honestly, I can't imagine doing a full hollywood with that. It’s a solid ‘meh’ for me.
#4 Shaving – 90% of women, 90% of the problems
Ah, shaving. It's like that reliable friend who's always there when you need them, even if things get a little rough sometimes.
Pro: Quick, easy, and budget-friendly
Con: The smoothness is gone faster than your latest TikTok obsession
Best for: Last-minute beach days or when you just can't even
Look, we've all been there. Shaving's not perfect, but it gets the job done when you're in a pinch. Just keep that moisturizer handy!
#3 Waxing (and its slightly cooler cousin, Sugaring)
OK, let's cut to the chase. Waxing sounds like a dream – you’re smooth for weeks, right? But don’t let it fool you. According to the Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology, over 60% of us who’ve braved Brazilian wax have ended up with side effects ranging from ingrowns to straight-up infections. And babes the pain can be worse than ending a situationship.
And sugaring is like getting your eyebrows done – a bit ouchy, but oh-so-satisfying results.
Pro: Weeks of smoothness? Yes, please!
Con: Regrowth can be a bit... rebellious.
Best for: Babes who love that silky-smooth feeling
Whether you go for traditional wax or the more natural sugaring route, these methods can give you that confidence boost for your beach vacay. Just be prepared for a little post-wax TLC.
#2 Laser Hair Removal – The Pricey “Permanent” Fix
Laser hair removal is like that fancy gadget you splurge on – it promises the world, and sometimes it actually delivers!
Pro: Long-term reduction in hair growth? Sign me up!
Con: It's an investment, both time-wise and money-wise
Best for: Committed babes ready for a long-term relationship with smooth skin
Just remember, it's more of a marathon than a sprint. Multiple sessions are your ticket to smoother-ville, but patience is key – kinda like waiting for your crush to text back.
Pro tip: it's well known to work for dark hair but not so well on light or blonde hair. From some, it regrows in patches or grows almost 100% over time which can really be a waste of time and money.
Is it the holy grail of hair removal? For some lucky ladies, absolutely! For others, it's more of a "results may vary" situation. But hey, if you're in it for the long haul and don't mind a bit of a splurge, laser might just be your new BFF.
#1 Natural Hair Removal - The Perfect Compromise
You knew I’d save the best for last, right? Here you go.
My #1 hair removal method right now: the ultimate hair removal routine by OYO Skincare.
I swear, this must have been my best TikTok discovery of the year. Essentially, it's a 5-step natural hair removal routine specifically made to remove your pubic hair without the ingrowns, the bumps, the irritations etc. And it WORKS!!!
After only 4 weeks of using it I swear my skin went from cactus to silky smooth (see results below).
Here's how it works 👇
1. Cleanse / skin prep
Start with Keep It Clean, a gentle, 97% natural cleanser made for the bikini area. Unlike regular body washes, it’s pH-balanced and designed to cleanse sensitive skin without irritation, clearing away sweat and buildup for a fresh start.
2. Exfoliate / ingrowns prevention
Ingrowns Out is way better than regular scrubs, which are often too harsh for this area. This gentle exfoliator prevents ingrown hairs by removing dead skin without irritation, keeping your bikini line smooth and bump-free—no more DIY scrubs leaving you with strawberry skin.
3. Remove that hair / THE TEA!! ⭐️
Bye Bye Bush is a painless, no-drama alternative to shaving and waxing. Apply, wait 5 minutes, and wipe it off—no bumps, razor burn, or irritation. It’s gentle on the bikini area and leaves you with smooth, soft skin that lasts longer than shaving without the pain of waxing.
4. Spray / post-hair removal aloe TLC
After hair removal, Keep It Fresh steps in to calm the skin with a refreshing aloe mist. It soothes any redness and irritation, leaving your skin soft and feeling great post-hair removal.
5. Moisturise / the final touch (literally)
Finally, lock in moisture with The Final Touch, a lightweight oil that absorbs quickly, leaving your skin hydrated and glowing without any greasy residue. It’s the perfect finish for a smooth, soft bikini line.
I am so glad I made the switch and said goodbye to ingrowns and bumps forever. Sure, the routine takes a bit longer than your typical shave-and-dash, but trust me – that extra TLC is worth every minute. ✨

Final Verdict: Find Your Flow
At the end of the day, the best method is the one that makes you feel most comfortable in your skin. Whether you’re down for a quick fix or ready to test the OYO hair removal routine routine, just remember: your skin deserves love, not war. Choose wisely, babe – your confidence depends on it. 💁♀️ #SmoothSkinVibes
This ranking is personal of course and we're all different but I'm a sensitive girly and I've struggled so much with grooming down there that I became obsessed with the topic, and wanted to try everything before I stuck with a method I really liked! I’m so glad I discovered this natural hair removal, and I hope this list helps you find the right solution for you.
