Sex & the Forest: The Pampered Kitty

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Wake Forest chapter.

Collegiettes, we fuss over teeny-tiny parts of our bodies like eyelashes, eyebrows and nails. So how is it that we take care of these things, but often forget about something as vital as the V? I mean, when was the last time you gave your lady-friend a bit of TLC? It. Starts. Now.

If you choose to shave down there, make sure you’re treating yourself right! The skin around your bikini line is easily prone to bumps and redness, and a chemical-laden shaving cream will only make it worse. Invest in a shaving cream that is natural and organic, like Pacific Shaving Company’s Women’s All Natural Shaving Cream. It’s made with Shea butter for a yummy scent.

Occasionally razor burn just happens, but that doesn’t mean that you should have to itch and suffer. Put your kitty out of her misery ASAP with The Cool Fix by Shaveworks. It’s a “soothing blue gel that alleviates shaving and waxing woes.” Especially important with Spring Break coming up…bikinis reveal bumps, and saltwater stings.

I love feeling fresh…here, there and everywhere. Including down there. Which is why I always keep a pack of Summer’s Eve Cleansing Cloths under my bathroom sink. They’re hypoallergenic, quick and discreet. They come in a bunch of different packages, including individually wrapped cloths that you can stash in your purse.

Sometimes buying new underwear is even more exciting than buying new clothes. If you’re in need of (or just want) a new pair or two, buy underwear that is at least 99% cotton; 100% is best. Cotton is comfortable and allows for the most breathing room. Victoria’s Secret has cute cotton thongs and cheekinis. 

Remember, your vagina is an important part of your reproductive and sexual health, and an important part of you. Happy pampering, collegiettes!
