Here's what I do and it works WONDERFULLY!! :

I bought those noxzema (sp) bikini shavers that you mentioned and they are AMAZING! I go completely bare ''down there'' and it works for all the hair not just your bikini line! When I first get into the shower I put conditioner (yes, the same kind I use for my hair) on the hair and let it soak while I wash my hair or shave my legs or whatever. Then I rinse it off and apply more. I use the little shaver in a downward (with the hair) motion to get off all of the long hair. Then I rinse and apply more conditioner and do the same thing but go upward (against the hair). After I get out of the shower I apply Bikini Zone cream. I also apply the cream before I go to bed and the next day to avoid razor bumps. The little shavers are really good though! I've never had irritation even when the hair starts to grow back!

The only downfall is that it's just like shaving your legs. In a couple of days it gets prickly. Doesn't last too long but it's the most pain free method I've found.

Hope that helps! I too struggled with this problem A LOT before I found the shavers.

ohoh! Also, if you want you can buy ANY kind of conditioner. Even the cheap stuff in the HUGE bottles to save money.

I would prefer to shave your public hair rather than waxing. Shaving doesn't cause itching problem.

I go to get my Hoo-Hah waxed ever 6 weeks. The pain get's less, as does the amount of hair & if you exfoliate with a exfoliator glove thingy, you don't get ingrown hairs.
I used to shave, but it was itchy & doesn't last long enough.
Once you go the wax....you don't go back!LOL

Itching after shaving the pubic area is one of the most common complaints people have. So yes, shaving causes itching for most people. It varies for each person, some itch a great deal, other not at all, or very little. Nevertheless, shaving irritates the skin, and that usually results in itching, razor burn, ingrown hairs, and more.
Just my $.o2

I dont know why i am unable to remove the pubic hairs completely, n then the worst part is that it itchs and the left overs being very small keeps pinching back all the time.. lol!! i tried the creme n also the razor but all in vain... please if someone knows a method to remove them completely, so that it does not irritate me further... reply as soon as possible....

I bought a ladies electric razor and its been a true amazing gift. The first week I used it I felt it didnt shave close enough, but if you stick with it and don't use other methods but it, after a week it started shaving so close and smoothe. I have never been so smoothe without any irritation than I have been with this thing. I use it for the entire bikini area and then I use a regular standard disposable on the more sensitive areas (lips etc)

Im about to bite the bullet and just get waxed. I have been shaving for years now. Its itching and irrating and i sometimes get ingrowns which are gross. Not to mention how thick and harsh the hair grows back. I am so so shy and embarassed about my body. Im sure waxing will be well worth it.

I use special razors, by Noxema, they come in a pack of three. I also use some sort of body wash like Olay or Dove on the area. Comes out soft, and perfectly smooth

I use those creams that are designed to dissolve the hair at the roots so that it can be wiped away afterwards. Generally I use that on my bikini line and shave my legs/armpits. I don't like the idea of shaving my bikini line because of ingrown hairs and stubble etc, and I don't have the pain threshold for waxing so this works best for me. I usually do use the cream every fortnight. It's fairly quick, but a bit messy.
