Silly Question
 

Can somebody tell me..............when you shave your pubs, what can you do about the nasty little red razor bumps?

*L* and it itches like hell !!!!!!

Bikini Zone. It is a cream and will get rid of the bumps and intchies... both Sex 24/7 and I use it and it works great..

thanks for the Info Ladies................at this point I'll try anything

*scratching* sorry Sharni..............I had to do it !!!!

Just make sure you SOAK before you shave, and baby oil AFTER you shave seems to work well too.... Seems there are many posts on this tho =)

Thank You sarriah............ I haven't tried soaking before,but I do use baby oil.


*looks at Sharni and scratches again*

LOL yah its better not to shave every day either till your used to it. but soaking in HOt Shower or bath for a good 10mins before you shave works really good, make sure you use new razor with sharp blades BUT BE CAREFULL hehe =) and PSSST dont scratch hehe

Sarriah........... I'm really trying not to scratch........... I feel like I need to shower using a brush *L*


Thanks for your input

Slow Ride... I'll scratch yours if you scratch mine..... I am gonna rush out for that Bikini Zone tomorrow:o

*scratches Lilith's itchy spot with my itchy spot*

:o ;) :D

Everybody recommends Bikini Zone, and that product is fine. It contains a topical anesthetic gel (2% lidocaine) to take away a little of the pain and itching, and almost every place here sells it--grocery stores and drugstores. However, I hate the smell of it, and I find that a much better product is Bikini Plus, made by Sally Hansen. It is a little harder to find. Some Walgreen's and Wal-Mart's sell it, but not any in St. Louis. I got mine at a different drugstore chain. It's about the same price but is in a little bit larger-size tube (1.6 oz/45 g vs. 1 oz/28 g). It has almost no odor to it, and it contains an antihistamine (generic form of Benedryl) to relieve pain and itching but also contains an antibacterial to fight infection to keep you from getting the red bumps back again. I have very, very sensitive skin, and I can handle the Bikini Plus much better than the Bikini Zone. Sometimes the Bikini Zone burns like fire; the Bikini Plus never has.

Good luck finding either product! I also recommend that you use an antibacterial soap (most every brand of bar soap carries one these days) when you wash up either before or after.

If you are still having trouble getting those bumps, you might also want to alternate the Bikini Zone or Plus with a triple antibacterial ointment. Any brand will do. Walgreen's sells what they call a "first aid ointment," which has the same ingredients in it as their triple antibacterial ointment, but it is a dollar cheaper. The ointment is soothing and will help keep those bumps away.

BTW, that is not a silly question. Most of us who shave have at one time or another (or even yet!) have had a problem with those darned red bumps.

I was told by Kimberly73 to use hair conditioner to shave and a fresh blade each time. I dont get razor burn anymore but i do get ingrown hairs...what can i do about those??

mmmmmmmmm I not sure buffay,but you might try a first aid ointment...........I know ingrown hairs hell like hell............I it really must hurt "down there"


thank you everybody for all the advise......... this is better than Dear Abby !!!!!! *L*
