How do you avoid getting razor bumps in the bikini area?

I have a horrible problem getting razor bumps in my bikini area which is a big problem because I love to swim. I have tried shaving with soap and water, shaving cream, conditioner, etc, but still get the bumps. I have tried waxing and sugaring, nare, bikini zone, electric razors that shave and pluck out the hair. No matter what I try I get the bumps or bruising, either right away as with waxing or as soon as the hair starts growing (a day after shaving). It looks disgusting and make me feel so self conscious.|||Try to use a thin layer of conditioner to shave with. Besure to hold the skin super tight and try to make minimal strokes with the razor.





I know you said you already tried waxing..did you have it done professionally or DIY?? Try to have it professionally done, it maybe a little embarrassing and hurts a tad but its totally worth it. If you go to a good place you should have little to no irratation.|||I used to have this problem. Not anymore. I use oil to shave. I prefer coconut oil but olive oil will work well also. Use a sharp blade and shave with very, very, very slow strokes. Try it. It can't make it any worse!|||porn stars use oatmeal soap to shave with|||waxing works best for me. Shaving really gets the bumps into full gear. but I use this stuff called "tend skin" google that phrase and it'll come up.





It's great at softening the skin and lets the hairs come up so they don't cause the bumps.





PS: I'm a guy (yes I get "it" waxed. %26lt;g%26gt; and I'm str8 too.)|||I do a couple of things to avoid the bumpy problems.


#1 I exfoliate upwards towards my belly button with one of those exfoliating gloves, it works way better than those puffy balls.


#2 I put tea tree oil on the area and olive oil to keep it hydrated after waxing.|||Try to use some body lotion after|||Apply deodorant to the area after you shave, it should sooth it.


They also have shaving cream called Bikini Zone designed specifically for that area. Here is a link so you know what it looks like. You should be able to get it at Walmart.|||Go to an adult toy store, they sell this stuff called Coochie shave, the name may vary depending on store. Ask the cashier, its suppose to prevent razor bumps etc. It also conditions the hair. If you have trouble getting a hold of some, I have a friend that is a consultant. You can order it and she can ship it to you. Let me know.|||For me, I try to make sure that the area is extremely lubricated so the conditioner idea that the other response is good. When I was in high school I had a friend who I thought was insane when she said that she doesn't get any bumps becasue directly after exiting the shower, she runs an alcohol soaked cotton ball over the area she's just shaved. I eventually tried it - it hurt like hell but it does work. Also, I've found that the next day and the following days, I scrub lightly with a plastic scrubby thing in circles to prevent ingrown hairs from starting. Hope this helps.|||A review of the various hair removal methods is available at http://tinyurl.com/ob6tt
