I wish!! I've used various hair remover creams which always leave me with a red spotty rash, I've had it waxed, both professionally and done it myself, both times I was left with a red spotty rash, I've use an epilator which left me with a red spotty rash, and shaving leaves me with a red soptty rash (see a pattern emerging here?) so no, I can't recommend anything I'm afraid, but let me know if you find a magic bikini hair remover cos I long for silky smooth skin down there that I would be proud to show off in a skimpy bikini!

have you tried an electric trimmer, one designed for the nether regions?

chopsolata · 23/07/2006 22:43

i like the Nair sensitive one that comes in a sachet, it doesnt leave me red or sore and seems to do the job

fuzzywuzzy · 23/07/2006 22:44

Laser treatment
Sugaring (hurts less than waxing)
Silky mitts (or whatever they're called)

madrose · 23/07/2006 22:45

i once used silky mitts - thankfully just on my legs, but got carried away and took the top layer of skin off

fuzzywuzzy · 23/07/2006 22:48

Oh lord not silky mitts than....ouch

madrose · 23/07/2006 22:51

but it worked! had very red legs and I did get carried away - was very impressed with how the hair disappeared - so just kept rubbing.

Nah on second thoughts give silky mitts a miss

hair removal creams don't work on me not on my legs or my bikini area, even if i leave them on for triple the time nothing comes off. don't understand it, wax doesn't work either shaving works but leaves me stubbly,itchy and sore. hope somebody gives you good advice soon because i'm dying to know what to do!

oh my god, i am SO relieved to find this thread. (although i will be more relieved if someone actually comes up with an answer). it's not like i have very dark hair or anything, but it seems to grow back incredibly quickly and i get a bikini rash with every product i have ever used. i even got a shaving rash from a braun electric shaver. it's a nightmare with weather like this actually, cos it is just so flipping uncomfortable.
i am finding veet's new in-shower product good for legs though, so long as you don't step into the shower until the application time is up. speaking of which, am i the only person who reads 'do not leave on for longer than 6 minutes' and immediately sets the timer for eight minutes?

redbull · 23/07/2006 23:06

know what you mean aitch71!! i have natural black hair so when im bleaching my tosh i give it nearly double the time or else it doesnt work!!

If only men knew the pain and extremes us women have to go through!!
