Hey all! I was just wondering if anyone had any suggestions for shaving the whole 'down there' area. Not just bikini. I do it now, with just a razor, and sometimes I get bumps/ingrown hairs. I also can't seem to get everywhere nice and close, it's still kind of stubbly in some places. I was just wondering if anyone had any good tips/tricks they use while shaving or even if you don't shave, what do you use? Lindsey |

after you've shaved, putting deodrant on [normal deodrant stick] is really good for ingrown hairs

I recently researched this since I can't really afford waxing this summer and I enjoy being close to my husband
If your hair is real long... trim it with scissors first, before going at it with a razor. Make sure the area is nice and warmed up. I also like to let the shaving cream hang out for a little while to soften things up. Go WITH the grain. As in, follow the direction the hair grows. I was haphazard the other day and have been paying ever since. Gentle exfoliation prevents ingrown hairs. Sharp blades just get the hairs... dull blades irritate the skin. (You have to go over the same area again and again.) Hydrocortisone cream soothes itchy pain. If you get bumps and stuff... let it grow out for a few days to let the skin heal. |

Aloe Vera gel helps with itching/ingrown hairs too. Make sure your blade is VERY sharp.

I shave with the grain as well, but then it's just really stubbly.
