Can shaving hair by Veet in our vagina cause diseases?

Whichever you choose, keeping your skin clean, exfoliated and hydrated will help lessen the chance of any problems.

Veet and similar products are chemical hair removal so there is no shaving involved. These products essentially disolve at least the base of the hair (not necessarily the entire hair) just below the skin line so that all the hair comes off. These products claim to offer a more thorough, long-lasting and soft outcome than shaving.

As for it causing diseases in your vagina… The first person who answered this question spelled out pretty clearly that you do not have hair in your vagina, only on the outside, non-mucous membrane part of your vulva. Therefore, you do not need to shave or use chemical hair removal in your vagina. When using these products near those sensitive mucous membranes of the inner vulva, be extra careful and wipe away any that goes out of bounds with a wet cloth. It takes time for these products to work so you have time to make sure it's only where you want it well before you risk any injury to your skin. Again, take the time, every time, to do a test patch to check how your skin responds.

With chemical hair removal, a sensitivity reaction can occur even if you've had no trouble with it in the past. That's why the directions say to first do a small test patch in the area you will be using it to see how your skin reacts. Bad reactions can range from slight itchiness to hives to a chemical burn. Of course if you don't follow the directions, such as leaving it on way too long, you up your risk for it irritating your skin.

As for the disease part, it cannot cause disease directly (see my entry note). The only role it may play in disease is if you have a reaction that causes a breakage in your skin that allows an opening for virus or bacteria to enter. Supposedly, (again, not a doc here), even the most careful and gentle shaving traumatizes the skin surrounding your hair follicles enough for bacteria to potentially enter and cause infection.

Based on my personal experience, my daughter's and friends, it most often does offer these results. However, it can also be messy, time consuming, incomplete (as in, not working on all hairs consistently) and irritating to your skin. To be fair, shaving can also have these drawbacks with the addition of the chance of nicking yourself.

Note: Please forgive me if your question refers to Veet causing disease after years and years of repeat exposure. Though I have never heard that it does, despite these products being on the market for at least 40+ years, I am not a professional in any field that might answer that question. I am answering from the pov of someone who has used these types of products on various areas of her body over the past 30 or so years and have known countless others who have also done so. Please, as far as my advice goes, remember it is not a medical opinion.
