    Bikini hair removal help!

    I want to keep it shaved down there but every time I do or even trim it short it gets really really itchy. Is there anything I can do to prevent this?

    Something other than shaving...

    Shaving by nature of the activity irritates the skin so try something else, like getting it waxed.

    It'll sting for a few moments when you get it done but after it's over it will remain smooth for quite a while.

    My SO took me with her (once) and asked me to have my area waxed (once) too.

    For all of you men out there who simply expect your SO to have regular Brazillian's...may I suggest you have some waxing done of your own so you can appreciate what they go through.

        Professional waxing too much $$$ for your budget? Some other thoughts...

        1. Use a new and sharp razor.
        2. Soak in a bath tub ful of water as warm as you can stand...very relaxing.
        3. Use a shaving product for sensitive skin...perhaps even a cream shave. A gel product at minimum.
        4. Rub it into the areas to be shaved like you're rubbing in lotion.
        5. Shave in the direction that your hair grows or "with the grain".
        6. If you need to re-shave an area, re-apply the cream shave first (as above).
        7. Rinse off with the same very warm water.
        8. Rub in a quality skin conditioner where you have just shaved.

        Razor tips:
        1. "Pat dry" into your towel.
        2. Direct your blow dryer, on the hottest setting, to the razor and count to twenty (at least).
        The goal is to get the blades and "glide strip" completely dry.
        3. Snap the little plastic blade protector back onto the blade after you have dried it off.
        4. Keep in a drawer or cupboard where humidity and other moisture can't get to it.

        Razors don't get dull they get rust and that's what causes them to drag or snag and make for an uncomfortable shaving experience.

          The hair grown thicker and more uncomfortable after shaving to I don't really suggest it. Get a professional do it. Brazillian waxing is really hygienic.

            Girl, I feel your pain...Im gonna post some things from a site I found, hope they help:

            Behind the Burn
            Razor burn occurs because your skin is irritated during the shaving process. Common causes are: Soap or shaving cream aggravating your skin. Not using a product to help the razor glide over the skin’s surface. A dull razor. Pressing too hard.

              Use some kind of tea tree product, it's great for after any sort of hair removal. It also helps to prevent ingrown hairs.

                I started getting laser treatments for my bikini line (plus some) and I cannot express to you how much it's changed my life. I had coarse hair that I HATED dealing with - even if I shaved with the best razors and best creams I would still get ingrowns and bumps. I came across a deal on groupon for laser hair removal and it is the best decision I've ever made regarding hair removal. You should do your research on the esthetician you are dealing with, but if you want a permanent hair solution, laser is the way to go.

                  Use the pat dry technique.
