Shaving your... *looks down*

HoldMeTightly · 08-25-2005, 07:28 PM

Okay... kind of an akward post. Also my first post on this particular board. (BE NICE!)
Anyway, so I shave... down there... but it always itches really badly! Anyone have any suggestions on how to make it stop itching? Suggestions on how to shave faster would be good too (it takes me forever)!
Anyway... sorry to make this an awkward first post. I just hope someone can help, and who knows, maybe I'll stay here for future posts too (I'm trying to find a message board kinda like this one thats right for me!)

No idea on either truthfully. Reason shaving there is a rare occurance in my world. Maybe waxing would alleviate the itch factor. I'm seriously thinking of trying that out.

ouch! waxing? dunno if i'd trust myself with that... and i have this HUGE phobia of people seeing me naked-- or even in a swimsuit for that matter... that was actually gonna be part of the topic of my next post...

I sorta used to shave down there but gave up but I can tell you what helped a little bit. Lotion helped the itching sometimes. Also not shaving as much until the skin more used to it works I think....though you deal with the stubbles. Like I think you are supposed to shave only once a week or two for awhile for several months. And when you first shave you are supposed to shave with the hair, and then against it. Never do it to fast or go over the same spot over and over again.

You'll lose that feeling after giving birth, trust me. I'm definitely not an exibitionist, but I'm less concerned lets say than I used to be. They see all kinds, what's mine gonna matter.

Oh I'd probably just do the binkini.

I get a full bikini Brazilian waxing done about once a month and the hair gets finer and easier to remove. There are some areas around the vaginal lips themselves that I still scream "OUCH!!!" (to myself) when the clinician rips off the wax-but I'm always happy I did it after-it is amazingly smooth.

I use an oil called Shave Secret that you use to shave with and after. I got mine at WalMart and it works gr8! Make sure not to use a dull razor and try not to over shave an area. At first it really itches, but once your skin gets used to shaving there the itching will stop. As for speeding up the shaving process, once you get used to it and more comfortable, it will go as quickly as shaving your legs. Although it can be a hassle sometimes, I don't think I will ever not shave *down there* again...I love it

try KISS MY FACE SHAVING CREAM it works really good and makes it soft.

Use a sharp new razor.. and do it after a soak in the bathtub.. to open up the hair follicles and smooth skin. Just like shaving your legs things are smoother after a bathe. And the above products are good.

Here's an article on waxing.. lol. Enjoy the read.. I do intend to get this right.. and maybe get the nerve to go get it done.. no big deal.. its not like they haven't seen one before.. never understood that. Feel that way about the gyno too.. not embarrassed at all. Its the rip factor from the brazzilian wax that I'm worried about..
