 How to Shave “Down There”3/12/2013 |
Shaving down there can be a great option—it’s cheap, painless, private, and no appointment required. But if done correctly, shaving can result in all kinds of nasty razor burn, ingrown hairs, bumps, and irritated skin. Here are HC’s essential steps for a quality shave: 1. It’s best to invest in a razor with changeable blades, rather than using the cheap disposable razors that come in packs of five to ten. You might even consider buying a man’s razor, which have the same moisturizing/soothing strips built in but are constructed for coarser hair. Make sure it has moisturizing strips and "micro-fins" or cushions. We recommend the Schick Quattro For Women. 2. Before you even get in the shower, if the hair you’re planning to shave is longer than a ¼-inch, trim it down with small manicuring scissors (we suggest a smaller pair of scissors because it will be easier to maneuver—you do NOT want to accidentally nick yourself). 3. When you get into your warm bath or shower, don’t shave right away. The warm water will soften the remaining hair in 5-10 minutes and make it easier to shave (if you’re not shaving in the shower, covering the area for a few minutes with a warm, damp washcloth will have the same effect). If you want to soften the hair even further, try a dollop of hair conditioner. |

 Dartmouth Students Respond to "Science: It's a Girl Thing!" Video12/23/2012 |
This summer, a one-minute video titled "Science: It's a Girl Thing!" was created and posted on a European Commission website as part of a campaign to attract more women to the STEM fields (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics). The video features flashes of makeup interspersed with laboratory equipment: a tube of lipstick merges into a shot of a test tube, a cloud of blush fades into steaming beakers... you get the idea. Combined with that are the shots of high-heeled tween girls striking poses intermittently throughout the clip. Needless to say, the video was "met with a collective icy stare, and quickly taken down." Some female Dartmouth PhD students doing climate research in Greenland have created a short video in response to this criticized E.C. video. The students, who are fellows in Dartmouth's Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship (IGERT) program in polar environmental change, decided to make a video that is both tongue-in-cheek and an authentic picture of female scientists working in the field. Their video is called "Science in Greenland: It's a Girl Thing." |
