Hello everyone, first time posting in this subreddit.

I already feel like I might get a bunch of trolls responses based on asking this because it seems like an over reaction. But I’m really trying to be cautious.

So about Friday, I had trimmed my pubes relatively short and since that day they’ve been really prickly and spiky, but have been gradually getting better. There areas that are trimmed to around 5-10mm. I unfortunately used scissors. Not trying to get into to much details but I’m not supposed to shave that area due to skin condition I have.

I’ve been applying conditioner on the stubble and I think that’s what’s been helping.

Anyways I’m going to have sex for the first time tmo with my GF. She started Opill not so long ago but ended up missing a dose. So I’m not sure how effective the bc will be by then. I will be using a condom during our entire time, however I had a huge concern pop up.

I was wondering if my trimmed pubes could end up stabbing/puncturing/ripping the condom?

Is this a possibility that I should consider or am I overreacting? Thank you

Hello everyone

This isn’t technically a shave, it’s more of a trim

But I had the experience of trimming my pubes for the first time last night and it was stupid/terrible experience to not invest in a proper razor

I used a pair of Equate stainless steel rounded scissors to cut my pubes and some hairs off my scrotal region.

The length is short, but it’s not short enough to look like a shave. There are some uneven dense areas where some areas look thicker and some areas are thinner. But there’s somewhere around 5 to 10mm of length over all I wanna say.

However I’m very prickly and it’s been bothering me all day. I unfortunately have a “date” coming up this Tuesday and was wanting to know how fast pubes generally grow back. Atleast grow enough to move past this prickly phase.

I was wondering if I could hear from other people’s testimonies as the internet generally says 3-5 days for the hairs to feel more softer. I was wondering if this was true?
