cut before shave - use alot of moisturiser afterwards - also i recommend wearing French knickers cos the edges don't rub so much, or possibly do it at night. Sorry cannot be more helpful. I wouldn't use cream as it is more messy and i find comes out worse. Nor shaving foam.

I dunno. I would like not to get hairs in my mouth when I travel down there. So tidy it up, leave the important areas bare. A landing strip is okay, helps me find my way at night lol. Dunno about shaved, never encountered one.

Try waxing, or just keep shaving. You have to do it often but after a while itll stop getting so stubbly and itchy. Or get the tweesers out...and pull each one out.

I recommend French Knickers, too. :biggrin:... Just if you need a male perspective or something.
Ouch, tweezers (shudders). Painful enough on eyebrows!

Best way if you can't be bothered to shave everyday is to wax. I found it didn't hurt half as much as everyone says it does but that might be just me! Try it, it lasts so much longer.

Yeah i reccomend waxing. Its really not that bad. its scary the first time i tell you...Dont take it all off though i think it looks weird and it really is there for a purpose. You are more subjectable to infections and all if you take it all off.

Nor shaving foam.
are you for real? if you dont use some sort of lubrication i.e. shaving foam or some people use hair conditioner, then prepare for razor burn..

shaving works fine for me, and i get rid of it all. i use a lot of shaving foam though, and an 'intuition' razor (which i only use down there) because it has like a brick of solid moisturiser surrounding the blade, which kind of melts onto your skin when it's wet...hard to explain but keeps it moisturised and avoids razor burn
I use immac although it doesn't last as long. Your best using a method that gets rid of the hair althogether rather than just shaving off the 'visable' bit. That is why either hair removal cream or (even better) waxing lasts longer cos' obviously the whole hair has to form & grow!

okay...as for wax...whats the best kind??- also what exactly do you mean by landing strip??- any other offers on how much i should take off?- thanks again
around 16, I always preferred clean shaven... goes better for hours of licking!
now, neatly trimmed is think is a bit more dignified, and makes you look less like a pre-pubescant girl!
wet shave no no! ingrown hairs, ick
electric razor all the way :wink: let your bf do it and enjoy the good vibes!

Try to experiment with shaving. Some people are more sensitive in some areas but it's bearable in other. For example, you could itch like hell if you shave anywhere on the pubic mound but could be fine from there down (where all the important bits are). Trim orpluck the rest to how you like it. Have you seen these?

You people who can just take a razor to the whole area without your skin making a fuss are very lucky!
Ugh! Just looked on the link, you can buy bikini line shavrs used...... the thought of it makes me want to vomit!
