Ahem, poss tmi but shaving rash where you reeeaally don't want it

[InVeryveryBadTaste]

Sorry if tmi, I'm warning you now decided in a moment of madness to shave my "lady garden" is that too mn and have the shaving rash from hell. Do I need to shave every day to keep it non itchy? Have tried aloe Vera gel to calm rash but would anything else work?
Had visions if me looking like a svelte smooth goddess and have ended up looking like a bloody plucked rabbit

Ahem....leave, exfoiliate, moisturise!

Womens roll on deodorant works miracles, it's designed for freshly shaved and irritated skin so it's really soothing. Stops the itch quick smart.

Heehee thank you, is that the voice of experience bonkey? By the way I love your nn

Theres a knack to it which I still haven't perfected apparently.

May I suggest a decent trimmer or some hair removal cream??

IME it's best to take everything off as best you can with a trimmer or small scissors then shave with conditioner or oil and a mens razor with the hot shower running over the area.

Shave with the direction of the hair rather than against it, that's more than adequate foe the labia but on the mons pubis you need to re-apply conditioner / oil, gently stretch the skin and shave against the direction of the hair growth. Apply roll on deodorant as soon as your skin is dry and voila silky smooth fanjo.

No need for exfoliation (which can rip at the follicles and cause problems) if you use deodorant straight after shaving.

Will be trying it that way thanks Marlene

The exfoiliating is for when the hair starts to grow back to avoid the ingrown bastards!

Never heard of the deodorant trick!

Na, honest, skip the exfoliation and go with deodorant (not on the pink bits) it's formulated for it, honest. I do know it sounds nuts . But, I've not had a single ingrowing hair since I started and if I do shave a bit carelessly it stops any itching in it's tracks. Never hear about women having shaving rash / itching / ingrowing hairs in their under arms and there's a reason...

Tendskin, from large Boots stores, or via amazon is really great for healing shaving rash. It works miracles.

roll on deodorant? Really?

I get shaving rash, itching and ingrowing hairs in my armpits and use roll-on Based on that there is no bloody way I would shave my nethers, me and hair removal do not really get on.

By heck Gobblers, best not then! Are you using something slippy and a mens razor to shave with? Womens ones are utter shite IMHO, blunt in not time and totally overpriced too. Can't beat a mach3.

Notmarlene - think you qualify for professor of ladygarden hair removal

Off to try with new scarily sharp razor and Pantene conditioner. Have no roll-on but will buy tmw. May print out your instructions and pin them on the bathroom wall
