It is getting harder to shave with my growing belly. But can't stand hairy legs so still trying. Going to move onto taking baths & shaving. I can't afford to go get waxed by a professional. I was just wondering what others are using shaving gel wise? I have some stuff that is for sensitive skin but even that is irritating my skin. I may splurge eventually & get a Brazilian wax as that area is definitely impossible to shave now!
I use the Aveeno brand shaving gel for my legs and get my lady parts waxed. I broke down last week and asked DH to shave my legs, it hurts too much to try it now with this big ol' belly in my way.

Honestly, i shave with hair conditioner lol. I have sensitive skin and find it to be my best solution. I have treseme right now but whatever u normally use will work!
I use baby oil. I love that it doesn't wash off when the water hits it. I hated that shaving cream would be wasted if I accidently stuck my leg in the water before it was shaved.
@OhMySpawn ...i shaved everything til the end last time too. Today, I pretty much gave up on the vag today. I dont remember how the hell i managed last time but i did inform my SO that any and all sex would be strictly in the dark from here on out :-?? X_X
I've used Alba Botanica "Very Emollient" Cream Shave for years. I have incredibly sensitive skin and this stuff has made shaving a lot easier on my skin. It's really moisturizing too.
Already having such a hard time shaving doesn't help that occasionally the DH will blurt out " jeeze you need to shave those things" wish he could try shaving with a big belly in his way. Definitely going to try out some baby oil since my legs have been so dry.
I use Schick Intuition so I don't have to worry about water washing off any lather- I have a shower without a tub so it's kinda hard to keep out of the spray. I also use regular Cetaphil bar soap and a Bic Soleil or Twilight disposable if I'm feeling slightly less lazy.

I use Kiss My Face shave lotion. It is a more natural product and doesn't irritate my skin. I feel like I get a much closer shave without as many in grown hairs.
Baby oil GEL. I have the most sensitive skin ever I get razor burn no matter what but ever since I started this 2 months ago I will never use anything else. You have to rinse off your razor more often but I haven't had a single bit of razor burn or dry legs since. Try it!!
Thanks ladies for all the suggestions. I used to use baby oil gel BP...kinda forgot about that one. But I never used it a lot because it made the shower floor so slick.
I use Dr Bronners soap (I like the lavender kind) and my shick Quattro
I am "lucky" I have Ehler-Danlos hypermobility and an incomplete left hip socket, so I can get my legs up no problem. I have a stand up shower and I just put my back against the wall and my foot up on the shampoo ledge. Good luck!
Wait - we have to keep shaving our legs? Damnit. Just kidding. I use Skintimate Moisturizing Shave Gel. I like the raspberry. I also use a girly razor with the four blades, the name of which escapes me right now.
A couple of weeks ago, I put on a skirt and realized I hadn't shaved in a couple of days. I dry-shaved with my razor and regretted it for like a week. Ouch. Not ever doing that again.
sorry but my first thought was "my teeth" lol blessed with long arms so I'm still able to shave the legs and lady bits with just shaving cream but try sitting down and putting your legs up on the wall or in the air and bring them back down to the side (like your armpit) lets you shave easily but only if you're flexible enough lol
