Wax? Immac?

Maybe shaving isn't the best method if you have such sensitive skin.

Try shaving in the same direction as the hairs go (as in down not up).
And obviously, just shave bikini line...

May be a tad embarrassing maybe not but i really need some advice . I am a girl and i just cant shave down there without getting a rash i can be careful , use a brand new razor and everything but it still messes up. What can i do?


There are creams that remove hair, but if your skin is that sensitive it is recomended that you try it at a small patch somewhere else on your body first, as it would certainly be uncomfortable if it caused a bad rash. You could also try to use an electric razor as opposed to a blade. Wax could be an option, but I doubt it will be good on your skin if you get a rash that easily. Finaly you might consider just leavig it as it is. After all, that is better than a rash, don't you think?

No. Not shave it all. If she's getting problems with bikini line, skin is gonna be even more sensitive further in from the leg and mass rash aint gonna look pretty. I'd agree with the wax.

there's a stripper trick you can use... after you shave your girly bits put deodorant onto the area you've shaved and it should stop the itching :}

Speaking as a bloke I think its really unattractive if a woman shaves down below. Nothing nicer than a nice healthy bush :biggrin:.

Different people are allowed different opinions :p: As are we.

To the OP, some people's skin is just too sensitive and will still come up in a rash no matter how much shaving gel/moisturiser you use. If this is the case for you, trimming/depilatory cream/waxing may be a better option.

to post at least something useful:
after shaving (or waxing or whatever) cool it with extremely cold water/ice for some minutes.
this really helps.

It's also easier if you shave in the shower or bath or whatever because of the heat. Shaving when you're cold...eeeeek!
Just don't shave...

Can't you see you're being done over by commercialism? Society dictates that women should be hair-free and you all follow like little sheep (how cute).

Just out of interest, how much do people spend on hair removal products?
