For women who want to get fully cleaned down under, they can either shave their pubic hair or have a Brazilian wax. Many people prefer one over the other for many reasons.  

People who do not have high tolerance for pain may opt to shave rather than go for a wax service. Although both procedures may cause irritation to skin, shaving will not cause any pain unless you accidentally injure or cut yourself with the razor. 

If you do not want to spend any money at all, then Brazilian waxing is not for you. Depending on the spa or salon, a Brazilian waxing procedure can cost you anywhere between $50 and $100. As for shaving, as long as you have a razor and some shaving cream, then you are good to go. On second thought, you might want to try out Brazilian home waxing kits that you can purchase for less than $50. You can do wax off your excess genital hair in the comfort of your own home. You can do this in a private place in your home if you are uncomfortable having someone work on your private area.

Brazilian waxing and shaving also differ when it comes to their results. Brazilian waxing will give you weeks of hairless privy, whereas, waxing's result might not even last for even a day. A lot of people would also complain about the discomfort, itching and irritation of shaved hair growing. If you are someone who does not like to do any daily maintenance, you can always Brazilian waxing for yourself.

Shaving is best for those people who do not want to spend money and who want instant but temporary results. On the other hand, Brazilian waxing is recommended to those people who want long-term results, do not mind spending some cash, and are tolerant of pain.
