Personally I haven't had any issues like one or two little ingrowns after the first few times but as you keep doing it your hairs get thinner and thinner. I have a facial exfoliant that I use down on my bits every now and then and just keep things clean and moisturize! I used to just shave as well but waxing is a game changer, having weeks of clean shave feel is awesome. I do recommend skipping the front pubic area though cause that is the most painful and likely to get irritated, that part I just trim short. If you plan to wax your butt too that whole area is the easiest of it all, barely hurts IMO.
