Holy razor burn!

Beverly0628

Hi ladies. I have noticed that I get crazy painful razor burn almost every time that I shave my legs since I have been pregnant. I have not had a problem with this in the past, and I haven't changed to any new products or anything. Just curious if anyone else has had this issue as well?

Me! I have reduced my amount of shaving down to once a week at most but I get it very easily. And this is with shaving with a body oil, not even soap. Oh well. Come fall and winter I'll only shave right before appointments lol.

Me too. I didn't even relate the razor burn to pregnancy though!

I noticed that too! It's different from my first pregnancy where I only had to shave every three weeks (ahh that was bliss!) My legs look horrible because of it.

I'm prone to it even without being pregnant and it's only gotten worse. I started using a body scrub right before shaving and it's helped a little.

Me me me! I thought I was alone, I didn't have this issue when I was pregnant with my little guy.

Oh my gosh I thought I was just going crazy! I can barely shave any more. I'm so glad this is just a symptom. I shaved and wore a long skirt today, my legs were on FIRE! Even the skirt brushing against it was miserable. Do you guys have more ingrown hairs too?

Yes! I have some ingrown hairs on my, umm, lady bits. I've never had ingrown hairs before. I switched razors thinking that may help. Nope.

haha so crazy I also have been having this but I didn't relate it to pregnancy. I'm also prone to it usually, but it's gotten worse and SO many ingrown hairs popping up everywhere! Crazy!
