You need heat. You can do it in a hot bathtub, or use a hot wash cloth. This will open up the pores and they'll be less irritated. Also, don't use shaving cream or anything, just use hair conditioner.
Personally, I prefer to trim. The shaved look is just too much upkeep, but I do like things to be nice and tidy. I shave or wax my bikini line (with hot water for both, hair conditioner only if I need to shave it between waxings - you know, for special occasions, lol), but everything else I trim with a men's beard trimmer. The hairs are really short, but they aren't all prickly.
I don't know why the hair conditioner idea works so well, but I do it on my legs, too. I am very prone to razor burn and the only things that has ever helped is hair conditioner! It's weird, but whatever works, right? :-)
underwater is the key! do it in the bath, keeping the area underwater. go slowly, one stroke only per section! works like a charm. plus avoid any shaving creams or lotions that can cause irritation. if you want to moisturize, be careful what you use!
I broke out the same way when I used like the cheap razors.I use a much better razor now and I dont break out anymore.
Try shaving down instead of up. It might take longer, but it probably won't hurt so much and you won't wind up with those pesky little bumps everywhere. I know those hurt like hell.
Also - do NOT use Nair, Veet, or anything of the sort down there. You can wind up with chemical burns on some very sensitive areas down there. It even says on the bottle/can that you shouldn't use it there.
Tweezers. It's time consuming but works like a charm. Just brew a strong pot of Jamaica Blue Mountain and set aside about 36 hours (this does not include recovery time) Good luck!!
just don't do it it's just gonna keep getting irritated just trim instead less irritating
Try rubbing hair removal.
Apply and wipe off.
I assume you're using shaving cream as well?
This is a difficult area to shave, so you have to be extra careful to use the right amount of warm water, shaving cream, and a fresh razor.
A tip my friend heard from a stripper: Neosporin. Use Neosporin as a shaving cream or aftershave to reduce the redness and nicks.
A product called Tendskin (available at Pure Beauty stores) is also a very helpful aftershave.
When shaving, what do you use? Regular soap, shaving gel/foam?
Make sure to use a newer razor and some shave gel for sensitive skin. If that is what you are doing now maybe you should try having it done professionally and ask the pro for advice.
How long have you been removing hair down there? I had some irritation at first but I've been shaving regularly for 4 years and the skin adapted.
soak in a warm bath for a little bit, use a salyic acid scrub to exfoliate first, then I recommend using Bikini Zone brand shave gel for less irritation, then when you dry off rub Bikini Zone brand after shave gel on the shaved area.
