I'm wondering if it's safe to use hair removal cream to get rid of pubic hair. Has anyone tried VWash hair removal cream for this? Or maybe there's another product that's better for completely removing pubic hair? I'm a bit concerned about the safety and effectiveness, and would love to hear from someone with some expertise or experience!

Yes you can use it no problem
