    Go slowly (and carefully!) but if it feel comfortable to reach, you should be just fine.

    I shaved mine today. I couldn't take it any longer! I say if it doesn't hurt, do it!

    I was afraid of the adhesive on little hairs, I shaved even my belly to make sure. Then I was told no shaving. I'm still alive! Lol
