TMI: Shaving down there

Ok, so usually I'm just a keep it trim type girl, but last night my trimmer was dead, so I though I'd just shave. Now I have all these itchy red bumps, which I think is razor burn.  And it is driving me crazy. I didn't go completely bare.

Those of you who shave, what do you do to prevent the razor burn?  Any tips?

  • It won't happen every time.  Just the first time, or if you wait a long time in between.  You're making me itchy!  GL!

  • Coochy Cream shaving lotion is the best..no red bumps, no ingrown hairs, no razor burn. Named appropriately but I won't use anything else when I shave.

  • I've only had issues with razor burn in the bikini line area, so I shave in the same direction as the hair growth to prevent bumps.

    This is not true for me. I am not meant to be bare - it just doesn't work out.

    Contact a Pure Romance Consultant. They sell it. I can vouch it works really good.

  • You can use some cortisone cream to relieve the itching for a day or so. I can't shave anymore, the itching is beyond anything I can handle. I strictly wax.

    I'm considering wax, but that scares me.

    I'm actually a waxer, as in that's my job. The first time is always the worst but it slowly gets easier. Even if you just do the bikini line and trim the rest. The key is to find a reputable place and not just some random nail salon.

  • I wax only....the first time is pretty painful but go every 3-4 weeks and its WELL worth it!!!!!

    I give a third vote for Coochy cream. I won't shave without it.
  • Bikini Zone cream works well too, you can get it at walmart and its pretty cheap.
