Avoiding ingrown hairs in the nether regions

[tsmandy]

Ok pro's, sluts, and primp masters....Advice sought.

When shaving the intimate regions, or removing hair: What tricks have you learned to avoid those painful ingrown hairs? Special razors? Special soap?

Come on, help me out folks.

I have a really pale complexion like you.
I stopped getting them when I switched to those razors with the wire guards over them. Like... I think the ones I have are Shick Quattro for Women?

They're way more expensive than most disposables, and don't last too long, but no more ingrown hairs or red spots or whatever.

*shrug* It worked for me.

Mandy do you first soak in the bathtub in hotwater for at least 20 to 30 minutes? To soften the hairs up. I use an exfoliant then I take shaving cream and shave in the direction of the hair.

I then soak another 10 minutes, then immediately put on Pink body lotion from VS allowing that to soak in. Then I dry off with a towel.


I also use what she uses ^^^^^

Well, I wax. It lasts longer and after a while, the hairs start growing back finer and finer. I'm at the point now where I shave my legs about once every other week and it's just for touch up around the tight corners, so to speak. Other areas: hmm, aloe vera gel or oil works really well, IMHO. Walgreens and Rite Aid carry the gel. But if you've got a really nasty ingrown hair or three, the only way to get 'em is dig 'em out with tweezers. Ouch. It really depends on the razor and gel/cream you're using. I had the same problem on my tummy until I started waxing.

I do use an exfoliant, but I don't generally soak in the tub more than 5 minutes without getting dizzy, so I tend to shave while showering, I will give that a shot.

I'm a pain slut, its true. But not that much of a pain slut. I was plucking all my pube's for a while, but that just takes to much time.

I will have to check this out, a couple hookers in town used to swear by something similar, but I forgot what....Thanks

I have used a product called hibiclens after shaving. it is an antiseptic and antimicrobial. it is a general skin cleanser but also used by those participating in surgical procedures. it doesnt stink, feels like soap, and it does a pretty good job keeping bacteria away that can cause ingrown hairs.

When I used to shave, I just made sure to do it every day in the shower under running water. Maybe my skins thicker. Jessica has to be carefull. She oils down with baby oil first.

I had full body laser about 2-3 years ago. Best investment ever!

I have virtually no body or pubic hair. Just a little on my scrotum where my laser lady coudn't turn the machine up high enough.

Mandy - you like pain, you will LOVE laser. Think having a heavy rubber band stretched about two feet back and snapped on your genitals.

But it works, if you can find a reasonably priced place.

Giggle,
