> The real protip, which feels weirdly inappropriate for HN, is shaving down there.

I've heard very much the opposite.

Or at least, shaving down there makes it amazing for a day or two, but then the hairs start growing back and it's stubbly at first, which makes it INSANELY itchy.

My experience is that this happens the first few times and it gets less bad on regrowth each time.

I did an experiment when I started shaving my legs where I only shaved one for a while and then later shaved both, only the one that hadn’t been shaved multiple times was painful when the hair regrew.

What's the famous story about the guy who Nair'd this region as a joke/prank and he didn't realize the side effect of: the hair down there acts as a buffer for the scent so flatulence comes out much much worse?

The trick is to not shave it clean like your beard. Just trim it using a small trimmer and leave about 1-2 mm length. No more itch.

using an electric trimmer on the shortest setting will avoid itching and general skin irritation

Can waxing fix this?
