Crazy razor burn anyone?

Formerly Mrs D S · May 2012

The pg I have been "trying" to shave my bikini area and upper legs and its been somewhat successful. I am not shaving my bikini line as often (probably 1X a week) but the last 2-3 times I have been getting SEVERE razor burn. My bikini line is so sore and breaking out its disgusting and painful. Anyone else have this happen? Its even starting to run down my inner leg. I am hoping its just from the pregnancy, but Im nervous its going to keep happening after baby is here.

I know skin can get crazy during pregnancy, but does anyone else have this? Ive tried a new razor, powder, etc.

I also have PUPPS on my stomach, maybe its that spreading to my legs, but it hurts it doesnt itch (on my legs).

I can't even think about doing that anymore. I use one of those bikini trimmer things to try and keep it tamed, but shaving is pretty much out for now. Maybe try doing that. Plus with the trimmers you don't really have to see what you're doing, you can just kinda go by feel.

Have you tried Pure Romance Coochie shave gel? it works really well and is specially fromulated for your lady area...That's what i use all the time. it is a little pricye, but a little goes a long way.

Worth a shot...good luck!

This. Plus, you don't want to keep shaving over already irritated skin. You could wind up with an abscess that needs to be drained or gets infected. Skip the shaving and go with a trimmer. If you just HAVE to shave, I would only do it 1x a week and only if the skin wasn't already irritated.
