Removing belly hair is probably not something you think about on a daily basis, but when it comes up, you want to know what you're getting into. Whether you want it smooth and sleek or prefer a bit of trimming: the choice is yours. But how do you know which method works best? Time to take a closer look at that question.
Shaving: simple, fast and affordable
Shaving is probably the most accessible option. Just take a shower, add some shaving cream, and you're done. Ideal if you want quick results and don't want to have too much hassle. Bonus points: with a good trimmer, such as the Balzy Bushbuster™ 4.0 , you minimize the risk of cuts and irritations. You determine the length yourself, and voilà: sharp in a suit.
Advantages:
- Ready in no time
- Cheap
- Painless (if you use the right tools)
- The ability to trim
Disadvantages:
- Repeat often if you want to maintain a certain length or smoothness, because within a few days everything will be happily waiting for you again.
- Risk of irritation or ingrown hairs if you are not careful and do not use the right tools
Pro tip: Shave in the shower and use a gentle lotion afterwards. Happy skin, happy you.
Resins: longer smooth, but not for the faint of heart
If shaving or trimming isn’t your thing, waxing is an option. Hair is pulled out by the root, meaning you can enjoy a smooth stomach for weeks. But let’s be honest: it hurts. Do it at home or go to the salon? It’s up to you, but expect to pay between €35 and €125 for a session.
Advantages:
- Longer results (3-4 weeks)
- No stubble
Disadvantages:
- Painful, and we're not kidding
- Risk of ingrown hairs or irritation
- All or nothing; no option to trim
Aftercare: Exfoliate your skin the day after waxing to prevent ingrown hairs, and stay out of the sun for a few days.
Laser hair removal: smooth for the long term
If you really want to get serious, laser hair removal offers a semi-permanent solution. It’s not cheap (around €165 per session), and you’ll need around eight treatments. But after that, you’ll be set for a long time. Depending on your hair situation, you’ll probably need annual maintenance treatments to keep everything smooth. Ideal if you don’t feel like shaving or waxing all the time. But beware: not every skin or hair colour is suitable.
Advantages:
- Long lasting result
- No stubble or ingrown hairs
Disadvantages:
- Duration
- Multiple sessions required
- No sun after treatment (so plan smart)
What suits you?
The choice of method depends on your skin type, pain threshold, and budget. Want to keep it simple? Grab a razor or trimmer. Want longer-lasting smoothness? Go for waxing or invest in laser treatments. Whatever you choose, make sure it suits your needs.
