Shaving 'down there'

[tinyhappyalien]

Hi All,

I like to fully remove all pubic hair completely.

I've had a wax before but I don't like that you need to leave the hair to grow back, to have it done again so I'm a firm shaving fan.

My only problem? I always seem to end with a shaving rash or little bumps. How can I stop this?

Laser.

Which always brings to mind "Mini-me, stop humping the laser"

I always "prime" with baby oil first, and then when it's all done, moisturise with coconut oil!

Isn't lasting expensive?

Oh wow, never thought of baby oil! Is this instead of shave foam?

Following! Have a lumea but can never be arsed

Following with interest, especially about the baby oil

Now I just need to dig out my yoga dvd ..... lol

The stubble really irritates me - I have thick hair, and so I just trim.

I second laser. YES it is expensive but one year later and I have the equivalent of a Homer Simpson head of hair after not doing anything for about 6 months. Might shave off the two wisps before my next vacay but I've grown quite fond of them

O0o0o...your so descriptive i'm having images of a homer Simpson vaja and my mind just can't process it 😆 im like a computer that needs to be restarted. Thanks for that

Baby oil routine goes something like this (whenever I can be arsed)

Rub it on and leave to soak/settle for 5 min whilst the shower warms or bath runs or whatever you do before you shave, and then shower as normal for 5-10 minutes until your pores are opened (no idea how to judge this )

Then you just shave using foam or gel as normal, but you need a lot less as it's softer and easier to shave off. Do it SLOWLY! Every time I do a rushed half arsed attempt it ends in a horrible bumpy mess.
Then rinse, come out, put on some coconut oil (cliché mumsnet advice ) and there you have it. A smooth lady garden

You've changed my life, Tried and tested - it worked a treat!

My recipe is baby oil, tea tree oil and coconut oil mixed together - beats foam hands down. But yes, slowly is key.

And exfoliate first, then get it hot and steamy.

@TheGreatestHo glad to have helped enjoy your shiny smooth foof!
