The U.S. Food and Drug Administration made women cheer when it approved two laser hair removal devices for at-home use in 2008. Considerably less expensive than professional laser hair removal treatments, this one-time purchase can be used in the privacy of your own bathroom, on your own schedule. However, home laser hair removal has its limitations–and the devices cleared by the FDA might not be effective for all women.

We’ve all seen women giving birth on TV, almost always sporting a slightly damp forehead along with full makeup and shampoo-commercial hair. Even with the more realistic depictions of labor and delivery, there’s one thing you never see in those stirrups–stubbly legs. As we see the image of a 99-lb. starlet pushing out a baby that looks like a jelly-covered 6-month-old, TV executives also want us to believe that the typical woman who is 9-months pregnant shaves her legs the day of delivery, too.

It’s pretty embarrassing when you think you have gotten every area after shaving your legs, only to get out in the sunlight to discover you didn’t. It’s even worse when you are in a rush to get your little ones to the pool and you notice after removing your cover-up that you missed another area. You may have considered laser hair removal but decided against it because of the expense. One solution is to try an at-home laser hair removal device. Another benefit is that your husband or significant other may get some use out of it, too.

Ingrown hairs are hairs that grow into the skin without poking through the surface. An ingrown hair may look like a swollen red bump or whitehead that appears a day or two after shaving. Often, if you look closely, you can see the offending hair trying to poke through the skin. Your pubic area is particularly prone to this pesky problem, due to the shape and thickness of the hair. Unfortunately, aside from being annoying, these nasty bumps are almost always painful and often embarrassing.
