Whenever I shaved that area, I have ALWAYS ended up with a rash that does indeed look worse than the hair itself! I never thought of the baby powder, even though I use that on my thighs to prevent irritation from friction. Thanks for the tip!

This is great advice!
And I haven’t tried any ingrown hair creams or whatever, but I can always find them at rite aid or walmart in the medication section.

At the beauty supply type stores they often have creams and things designed to prevent ingrown hairs, slow growth, reduce irritation, etc. near the waxing supplies. Look near the muslin strips and applicators. Home waxing is something to look into too, if you’d feel comfortable with that. I’ve done it a couple times (and more on other places that are just weird to shave) just before the summer and it’s been worth it.

This is good advice. Especially the side to side motion thing… It’s what I’ve done the last few years and it’s worked wonderfully.

I tried bikini zone after i shaved a little while ago and no more bumps! they have them at all the cvs, walgreens, walmarts and stores like that by me, so i would definitely look at one of those

I use aloe vera to soothe afterwards! brings down any red bumps, and after being cooled in the fridge, it feels really great down there!

Thanks for the tips! Like you I dont like flashing my hoo-ha to strangers, so I just began shaving. So far I use (instead of baby powder and bikini lotion) I use baby lotion and where sport shorts (with the breathable built-in underwear) all day to let the skin breath. It works wonders!

That is very helpful, thanx. But I’m new to this as well didn’t know what to do when I first started. So my ? Is, how to get rid of the spots from past shavings?

I usually after shaving that area I use Monistat Chafing Relief Powder Gel it works wonderful I buy it at Walmart, its great!!

i have shaved so many times but all those little red bumps come out nd it itches but i tried ur tips nd it works great

I find it necesary to shave on or off summer for health and sanitary purposes, I never had the problem of in grown hairs or the red bumps, dont know why? all I do is shower every day with body wash not soap, I feel body wash keeps my skin more mousturized. Just be constant its all about your body and skin adapting to the routine…

Selena please please please don’t start shaving that area! You’re 13, you don’t need to worry about it, and the earlier you start shaving, the more you’re going to be cursing yourself in a few years time. I started shaving when I was your age, and I actually really wish I had listened to my mam when she told me to not shave anywhere for a few years. Now I have to shave at least once every two days. It’s not pretty! I’m sure I have the majority of other commentors with me on this saying please wait until you absolutely have to. And then waxing is probably better in the long run.

I will definitely try this tonight!! Thanks so much. I’ve gotten more and more bumps lately. Also, just bought a tube of Bikini Zone medicated after-shave gel, I think it was about $5 at Walmart.

Alright, I’m many years younger than college…13. But I had the “peek-a-boo pubes”! I have this guy friend who has a pool and a trampoline so I’d be jumping in my bathing suit and BAM!! Goodness thanks he never saw. But your little guide helped sooo much and i can now were bikinis! Im so happy with the results and thank you!!!<3

I’m 13 and I was wondering after exfoliating could u use a plastic razor blade but for men?

Bikini Zone works great! I just got it tonight. I bought the shaving gel and after shave gel. Zero irritation, it’s great! I highly recommend the gel, instead of the cream!

oh wow, i never thought to use baby powder afterwards!
Thanks for the tips! i’ve always been skeptical about shaving down there..i thought it’d be a real pain! but it’s not as bad with the right products! thanks!!

Yeah, I started shaving my bikini line around 14. I’m almost 16 now, and man, is it a hassle! I have one question, though- how long do you keep the baby powder on? I’m no expert in this…field? I don’t want baby powder covering my underwear, and I certainly don’t want to have to explain why powder is falling out of my pant leg! xD

I also found that bikini zone doesnt work very good either! But I will definatly try baby powder!

I’m 15 and whenever I want to go for a swim, I have the peek-a-boo bush!! I really and afraid of these bumps… I’ve never heard of them before. Is there any other way to rid of them besides store bought products? I definitely wouldn’t be shaving if it weren’t for these stubborn hairs!

I used the side to side trick, fabulous!

I recommend expholiating with baby lotion/oil. The powder could make you rashier then not using it at all! Before and and after shaving and also using a large amount of cream. I use mens shaving cream, works wonders. Also, apply the lotion/oil with your palms going with your hair line.

it can sting at first, but it soaks in quick and relieves instantly

I usually soak in the shower and use hair conditioner after shaving down there, and I haven’t experienced any red bumps or ingrowns.

“against the grain” means shaving in the opposite direction the hair grows; “with the grain” means shaving in the same direction the hair grows

I heard that witch hazel and hydrocortisone cream works to heal and help the itch, so I tried the cream since I had some already, and the itching area was instantly so much better after I used it. I’ll have to remember to use acne cream with salicylic acid in it too.

use bikini zone after shave gel. it gets rid of the bumps and its medicated to stop the burning/itchign somehow

BIKINI BUMPS: Desitin diaper rash medicine is a good and cheap way to prevent bikini bumps…its a little heavy so i mix it with baby lotion, put it on right after shaving, and although its all white at first it stops bikini bumps for sure. Also, bio oil is good to keep bikini bumps awAy. my sister is a swimsuit model and her model friends told her about desitin. I have found nothing to be better. But be careful not to get to close to certain areas..you don’t want to throw off your PH!

Umm , im 14 and i wanna shave down there but im scared of the little bumps and the itchness afterwards . but also i only have 1 razor that i used to shave my legs . so kan i just use baby lotion after i get down shavingq ????
HELP ME PLEASE .

okay when i shave..i cant shave till like 4 or 5 days later because if i do ill start bleeeding? its soo weird? but im going to the beach and i need to keep up with shaving any help??

Hi Im really curious i have been shaving for quite sometime and every time i get these nasty bumps! I have never tried the side to side concept–would some care to explain that to me please? <–i know it may sound silly.

And i have used deodrant after shaving it does keep it smooth but doesnt help with the bumps

also i have old scars and i was wondering what could get rid of them???

because of the bumps and scars i am always afraid to rock out a sexy bikini soo please help

going on vacay in 2weeks wanna wear a nice bikini!!

-curious, so the side to side thing is the concept of shaving in the direction toward your right hip to your left hip. so horizontally instead of vertically like how you’d shave your legs. and this is supposed to reduce bumps caused by irritation. works quite well!! and we all like to rock sexy bikinis in the summer, and i was in that same boat as you and had to find a solution too! so i tried the bikini zone gel after i shaved and it stung for a few seconds.. but it was worth the pain bcuz NO MORE BUMPS! oh and use lots of shaving cream when u shave down there…no need to add to irritation in that sensitive area…

I just want to say that if you roll up a very small washcloth (one used on an infant) or anything you have that is made of soft cloth and place it snugly between your labia you will protect yourself from nicks and scrapes.

Can someone answer Pat’s question? LOL I am actually almost 18 and like not to sound promiscuous, but that’s one of my big concerns with sex, is I’m not sure how much hair you’re suppose to leave down there if any at all.
Also, when I shave there sometimes even if it is smooth and etc there are still black dots like sort of in the skin that my razor can’t get. I can’t wax, does anyone else get this? What can I do?

@ Pat and Classic: I don’t even know where to start! Personally, I trim mine short and shave it down everywhere that should show if I were in a bathing suit. And that’s it, nothing fancy, just very convenient for me and whoever else is down there. I personally think that landing strips look trampy as hell, like the pubic equivalent of having your thong sticking out of your pants. I’m not a fan of natural, but if you can rock it with confidence it usually flies.

As far as men go, their tastes vary as widely as women’s. My boyfriend was like a kid in a candy store when I got a brazilian wax, but there is no way I am keeping up with hairless genitals, it’s too much maintenance.

In short, anything between completely bare and moderately trimmed is widely accepted. No one’s ideal is the same as anyone else’s, though I’d say most women just trim it short and clean up the edges.

okay so i used shick intuition on my “bikini area” and i bleed uncontrollably! its so annoying and its painful and those bumps!!!! i never thought of the baby powder though thanks for the advise!

so glad for the internet! i was concerned with the same question pat was as well. i’m 19 and haven’t shaved (just given my area a hair cut with scissors). Well anyways i was thinking of shaving but i think i will just trim the hairs shorter I have extra mega-sensitive skin. I’d rather have my boyfriend see hair than red itchy skin, no thank you. Also, Even when I give my area a hair cut it’s extremely itchy! I put lotion and such, but it’s still itchy! I find Vaseline works well (I will try baby powder a try as well).

Okay I saw two bikini zone products. is it the Bikini Zone: Medicated After Shave Gel or is it Bikini Zone Anti Bumps Shave Gel?

I have tried bikini zone , does not work for me, i shave all of it off and instantly it hurts and the prickles and bumps are so uncomfortable , is there any way to make the prickles and bumps not so painful?

I really want to shave down ther but I’m only 13 just about 14 and I don’t want to ask my Mum for stuff because well it would be awkard. I have shave slightly down there before but it just itches like crazy to the point where I nearly cry. I’m at college and whenever I go to the beach or something I am the only one who wears bordies. My friends shave down there but I don’t know wheter or not to. Anyway, I also wondered how often you have to shave down there? And if anyone has any advice. Thanks.

I just like to get a wax, i found i had to shave every couple of days, so its waxing all the way. and its not as sore as you think.

I’m almost 16 and live in australia so going to the beach in summer is common. I just shaved like 3 hours ago and I’m a little uncomfortable like sorta itchy, i put powder in there is there anything I should try, like would body moisturiser work? thanks

Try a splash with witch hazel after shaving. (I never use powder because of the way it tastes and feels in someone’s mouth, but I’m gonna try it after reading this for times when I’m not having sex after shaving.) I shave with a regular razor like I use for my legs, I go against the grain to get very smooth, and then I splash with witch hazel after drying. No razor burn.

Ive been shaving since i was 14 im 17 now and i cant stand the sight of hair down ‘there’ so i shave every 2 to 3 days and i mix baby piwder in with my lotion and apply after that i dont bumbs or an itch

Bikini Bumps (the gel and cream) are sold at regular drugstores such as Walgreens, CVS, and even some grocery stores like Frys and Bashas. I personally do not like it. It burns really bad when you first put it on, making your down there flaming red. And I find that it does not really help..

for some reason when ever i shave down there it really hurts, i must be incredibly sensative, and i get thoose bumps my boyfriend actualy thought they were pimples!!!! i was mortified!!! i honestly dont know what im doing wrong i used the bikin zones shave gel which made the shave closer but it didnt do anything aboutthe bumps. i cant wax cuz you have to waittill the hair gets like long for that and i have a pretty active sex life. im soo lost someone help me please!

Raja,
I tried sugar waxing and it worked well. It didn’t hurt as much as regular waxing, the hair took a while to grow back and it grows back thinner. It also was less money than regular waxing. Good luck

My husband does it for me. He first uses an electric trimmer to get the long hair. Then softens the rest with a warm wash cloth. Then uses a razor. He is able to get the fine hairs too as he has a different angle. No bumps ever, so far.

I shaved for years & what I just discovered was getting sugar waxed! I love it! It even promotes hair loss. Sugar waxing is much more safer & doesn’t hurt nearly as bad as regular waxing. It’s also cheaper too. About 4-5 sessions will probably leave you bare for many many years. I’m on my 2nd one & the hairs that grew back are very fine.

Any kind of waxing hurts, but sugar waxing doesn’t attach to your skin like regular waxing.

To Emma, I have the first time it will be uncomfortable cause it’s growing back but after the second time you’ll be fine

i’m 12 and its a jungle down there, the hairs are VERY long. i have hair around my hole. i have a bf, i might be getting sum so should i shave it all away or just a little?

thanks alot!

All the suggestions here are great for preventing itchiness and bumps. I just want to point out that alot of these products and creams may potentially be toxic for our bodies and vaginas. With the increased amount of cervical cancer, I don’t always trust these companies producing products. There is a reason we have pubic hair, to prevent bacteria and to protect our sensitive skin from harm. I like to have a clean shaven bush, but it’s not worth it.

Im 14 and my school has a swimming pool, which means we have to go swimming every day for a couple months. Whenever I shave down there I get the red bumps and its pretty itchy. Baby powder doesnt help at all, Any other ideas?

I am not sure what which hazel is ?can anyone explain? Please the little bumps are extremely annoying and I am going to use these tips thanks sooooo much

I’m 12 and ive had pubic hairs since the age of 7. Whenever I shave it bleeds where the hair used to be allover. I’ve tried the creams that cause the hair to disintegrate, but its not very effective and stings allot, and there is no way I could ever go through with waxing. The hair is incredibly thick and I just want it to be gone for the sake of convenience. How fo I stop it from bleeding?

I have a date tomorrow at 11am with a guy ive known since primary school and we’ve been after eachother for ages but its always been bad timing. Im fairly bushy down-there. Should I shave it all off?? I want to sleep with him as this is the 4th date, and i think its going to happen, but the hair is REALLY holding me back, it makes me REALLY nervous. Guys what should I do!???

I always alot of those bad looking bumps, hope the powder works

I just wanted to say a little thanks for posting this. I’m 16 and it’s very hard for me to talk to people face to face about this kind of stuff. I’ve also been searching for answers about this everywhere and your is the most helpful. So thank you.

I want to thank you so much as I was kinda getting bullied by saying im a lad etc i cannot wait for summer to wear a bikini and shut them up

I have a question, not really about red bumps but I have dark hair down there and my skin is extremely sensitive as well. After shaving my skin is smooth but u can still see the dark hair in my bikini area and just a little down my legs. Its embarrising bc when i go to the beach or pool I wear shorts to swim in so no one sees it. Any ideas on what i could do????

I am 12 and I am a little scared to shave down there because of the bumps and itchyness but if I don’t I can’t go swimming or were swim suits without it being noticable.

^AA, i was scared at first too, and i’m only 13, it turns out that it really pays off in the long run , and i didn’t find these tips until now, i shaved without these tips and was irritated for awhile, but it eventually goes away, if you follow these tips you will be fine i did, and im much better now, it turns out most of your friends probably shave too. and when i was like 10 ish, i just shave it so it wouldn’t show outside of my bikini, so since your scared, maybe just put on your swim suit in the shower and then shave so you don’t have to shave more then is needed…. hope this helps

I want to start shaving but am unsure what area is supposed to be shaved clean and what should just be trimmed. Should the labia be shaved clean and the area above trimmed?

thanks you for the baby power tip it really help.

i wanted to know after you get these bumps how do you get rid of them?? and also i found baby powder works its just the past spots, that remain, any ideas on how to get rid of that>>>

Umm well this is really embarrasing i am 12 and i have reeeeealy thick heair down there its growing around the… you know vag and thenit started growing up my butt hole and im worried it will like grow further up onto my back. is this normal???? like it doesnt stop at the vag it keeps going. how the hell can i remove it?!!!!!!!

Alice, it won’t keep growing up your back. it’s normal, don’t worry!

To everyone else, I used to get really bad bumps too. I shave everything every few days, because I like it to be smooth and hairless. I started using facial moisturizer on the area and it worked wonders! no bumps or anything, and I even shave against the grain.

Shaveing is a pain in the a$$ i use to every couple days but my boyfriend said he would doit for me lol i didnt like the idea of a razor down there if it wasnt in my hands so he waxes it now it hurts lik hell but better him than a stranger n he likes doin it lol

Couple things I found the best way not to get the little red bumps is to keep it shaved. I shave down there almost every morning in the shower and it only takes only me a minute.
If you let it grow back in, ya it going to itch and be careful if you use a lotion as some will burn.
The other important thing is to use a good razor, not a disposable. I found that in it’s self made a huge difference for me.

Personally, when it’s summertime I always wax! There’s nothing worse than being on vacation for a week at the beach and having to shave everyday, which of course the more you shave the more irritated your skin becomes. So waxing is definitely worth the pain (and embarrassment). But for the winter months, shaving is a great alternative. I find if i shave pretty regularly, maybe a couple times a week, my skin adapts and i get fewer red bumps. The side-to-side shaving as opposed to going against the grain definitely helps as well. Also, finishing with bikini zone or acne cream as well as baby powder and exfoliating regularly works wonders! Good Luck Girls!!

I shave down there with a regular razor and shave gel for sensitive skin. I VERY rarely get bumps, but that’s only because I follow a very delicate process. If you have really sensitive skin try this: cut your pubes as short as possible with scissors, wet area with lukewarm water, exfoliate gently with a facial exfoliator, scrub a little bit of bacteria-killing wash for acne (nothing too intense like proactiv, just a gentle gel with like 1.5% salicylic acid), put a pea size amount of shave gel on your fingers and rub it on one small section of hair, use a side to side, up and down motion to shave off all hair, rinse it off, repeat last 3 steps on different sections of hair until all the desired hair is gone. Then rinse the area with the coldest water you have, let air dry, rub regular deodorant on it (the solid, matte kind, not clear), apply baby powder until its silky smooth, if possible don’t wear underwear for the next 12-24 hrs. If bikini bumps appear, use acne medication applied directly to them.

I know I repeated a lot, but this is my EXACT process.

Also, a piece of advice for people just starting to shave: DONT shave it all off! I did it once when I was 15 just to try it, and it looked so weird I never did it again, it looks completely bald and juvenile, really creepy. Also, real men appreciate a real woman with a little hair down there. It’s up to you in the long run, but be prepared to be creeped out and do it when you’re older.

Thank you for this article! I found that the comments were especially helpful, too! I know those times at the beach, yanking down my swimsuit over my upper thighs in embarrassment… and then the red spots came and I just thought that I was doomed for eternity to be the girl with the bumps- but hopefully not anymore! I will try as much as I can and see which one works. But the thing about shaving becoming easier the more you do it makes sense- I remember someone telling me that.

Thanks so much. I thought I was the only one with bikini hair problems. I will try the baby powder. My problem was that when I shaved I could still see the hair if I shaved with the grain. Than I’d shave against it, but I’d get red bumps. So I will try it! Thanks

I personally have tried the bikini-zone products and baby powder has worked better for me, but I’m having an issue getting rid of old bumps. Since I started using baby powder I haven’t noticed any new bumps, but still can’t seem to get rid of the old ones. I feel like the best thing would be to just let them heal and not shave until they are healed, but I just started dating someone and don’t really want to do that. Any advice would be appreciated!

I shave ALOT off. The sideways motion is a great idea, so is the baby powder. is there a way to keep that smooth skin longer? or at least a way to prevent it from itching like crazy until I get the chance to shave again?

This was very helpful. I’m gonna try this! (:

thanks so much for the tips! At 18, I still felt a little unsure about shaving down there, but especially with cheerleading I felt I should “tame the mane” (haha) that, and with some “risque” stuff going on with the boyfriend, I felt really awkward because I know most girls do shave, I just never really had a reason to until lately. You’ve given me a bit of confidence, thanks!

Thats cute, I need to seggust that to my bestie. I, on the other hand, like to torture myself with a damn epilator ( oh how I hate it) or a professional wax job. Thats nice and compact though.

What do u mean go against the grain?

What do you mean by Side-To- Side shaving? Didn’t quite catch what that ment. If you wouldnt mind. please E-mail me my answer because im not sure when ill be on this website again. i just happen to come across it.

I don’t regularly shave my bikini but when I do I use shaving cream an an unsented soap, and the put Shea butter in it after. It works great. I’m sixteen,btw.

I used to always get lots of red bumps too….and itchiness..it was horrible! But all you’ve got to do is take care when you’re shaving…don’t rush it, and make sure there’s plenty of shaving cream or soap down there. Then, when you’ve finished shaving get an ICE cube and rub it round the area you’ve shaved…that closes the pores and stops itching and bumps later on (it’s sore because it’s so cold, but it works)! Then just dry off and moisturise to keep things smooth. The more you do this the less sensitive you get too…so keep at it

I’m 13 and recently started shaving down there but I’ve got stubs now and it’s not comfy at all. I don’t want to talk to my mum cos it would be awkward. Any suggestions????

apply ice to the shaved area with a decent amount of pressure after shaving, it helps with the red bumps, also moisterize regulary to help keep the hairs soft. makes things alot easier.
and to all those 12 n 13 year olds on here, wait a few years. your way to young…… especially if your orried about asking your mother for special trips to shops to go get a special product. hen you are old enough to go to the shop yourself and have your on money(not your mothers) then consider a re-doo
till then enjoy being a kid.

sooo, do you put on the cream right after? and leave it on? and do you keep puttin in on daily untill you shave again? sooo comfussedddd!

I’m 16, been shaving down there for a while. I’m just a hairy person in general so it needs to be done, especially since I dance. It’s also just so much cleaner, especially when I’m on my period. The only problem is that it takes so freakin long to shave!! Any tips?

SO I been shaving for about five years and is now finding what really works. whether you are just shaving your bikini line or the whole thing, do the same thing. trim as short as you can. I soke in the tub for about two mins then I use conditioner and spread it over where you want it. buy disposable razor just for down there. side to side works best but rinse you razor with every stroke. then after you are done take an ice cube and rub it over the area. then i dry off and put Bagbalm all over it http://www.bagbalm.com/ (not just great for animals) then put a pair of under wear and pants i dont care about and go to bed. in the morning i wash it off and put medicated baby powder on it. repeat every 3 days.

I have tried shaving, waxing, and exfoliating creme but still have stubble down there. What else is there to do to get rid of it?

This was really helpful. I’m a little younger than a college girl but still I always wondered if you were actually supposed to shave down there and I was too embarrassed to ask my mom or older sister. Thanks!!

Its kind of embarrassing I am 17 and have not shave that area yet
I am planning to get the whole thing shaved kind of like a brazillian..
I am a bit confused and dont know how much is to be shaved and what to do.. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME OUT !!!
HELP PLEASE

Hi,
I need to know a very good prosses for me at the age 12. I have a real mom and a step mom, well my real mom says shave and my step says dont it will itch! What should I do? I tried once what my real mom said to do…….
Cut it with the sissors and then like shave up and down! It fucking hurt! @ Sarahbeth- I will try what you said deodorant. I will try deodorant tonight!
Word of advise if you dont want the whole house to know you shaved “down there” do it over the toilet when you are down with your shower/bath.

I’m 13 going pn 14 and i recently started shaving “down there,” 4 almost 6 months now(I don’t reaally know if you would call that recently though) and I sometimes get those bumps but not often. When I do get those bumps I don’t do anything, even though it’s irritating, I just let them go away. They usually go away within 24 hours. But whenever I do shave down there i always get little stubbles of hair, and Im trying to get all the hair off without having to get any kind of waxing done (to terrified to do that…. :/). Any suggestions? Anything would help if you have any tips email me please(maysajenelle@rocketmail.com) and @Panda Monium, I agree with you who the hell is gonna wait at our age when there’s a freakin jungle down there??? But anyways thanks sfor the tips I’ll try them

damn……………this shit HURTS!!!

Hey, girls!
I am 20 and I am shaving down there for a longer time and how I do it? razor and wather or some bikini shaving cream (I am using Willkinson smells good like roseberries). I am always doing it in the shower, just sitting with my legs spread. But I am using also shaver for sides becase it doesnt hurt so much and razor for main part, I am shaving everything because I dont feel good with hair down there and its not good for boys during sex (some positions can hurt). And after shaving put on some oil to make your skin soften

Good luck!

This blog has helped A LOT! (I just turned 14) I’ve been really self conscious of my bikini line, but now I’m not . I find using conditioner worked better than shaving cream. Always go side to side! I also soak in really cold water right after, then pat dry, an wear sweat pants. I don’t usually wear underwear after, so it doesn’t irritate.
I’ve also got those little pink bumps, but they won’t go away! Any ideas?

I shave with a vaccume type motion, i use this same motion for my legs and underarms, the hair does not get clogged in the razor this way, and afterward I wash my area with a face wash for acne one with the salicylic acid, then starting the next day I use a stridex pad in the morning and one at night, it burns just a little, but it keeps all your follicles clean and i hardly ever get a bump or ingrown hair. really this works great, and i can go months w/out shaving and with the vaccume stroke it takes the longest hair off no problem, and i just use like baby wash or conditioner, never shaving cream, too thick.

Hi there! I’m 16, and I’m a swimmer, so “peek-a-boo pubes” are a huge problem for me. I’ve tried shaving a few times before, and I always get tonnes of ingrown hairs, and dark spots like there’s still hair there that my razor can’t get… I also have a hard time shaving the sides (not quite sure how to describe it…) because I’m scared I’m going to cut myself. I also recently got a boyfriend (we’ve been going out for a month) and I’m really worried about my area in case things get serious. I’m not sure whether I should shave the whole thing, or what. I’m not very close with my mom, and asking her about this stuff would be way too embarrassing. Can anyone help with any of my problems?? I’d really appreciate it! Thanks!

I have used bikini zone before after shaving and it burns or for me it did. But it did get the job done I had no bumps or redness. Just burns for a few seconds.

I use Bikini Zone all the time and it works excellent, I used to have a problem with getting bumps after shaving before I started using bikini zone. I got mine from CVS

I am 16 and have started shaving because I just couldn’t put it off anymore. Especially because I’m swimming more. But I need help! When I shaved I don’t think I got all the hair off and it’s really itching. I don’t know what to do. I don’t feel comfortable asking my mum, but I really wanna get ALL my hair off. Should I try waxing or stick to shaving? Also how can I easily get off all of the hair? Please help!!!

@ PRINCESS, YESSSSS I HAVE HEARD THIS STUFF WORKS GREAT!! I JUST GOT A ELECTRONIC SHAVER IN MY BASKET FROM THE “EASTER BUNNY” THIS MORNING!! I AM GOING TO SHAVE THIS NEXT WEEKEND AND SEE WHAT IT DOES THEN I WILL COMMENT SUNDAY!!

@RATHERNOTSAY, I AM HAPPY FOR YOU! I WILL TRY THIS ALSO…… THANKS!

@ELIZEBETH I THINK THAT A ELECTRIC SHAVER WOULD BE GOOD FOR YOU LIKE I SAID I THINK IT WOULD WORD MAKE SURE IT IS ONLY 1/4 LONG THOUGH!! SO YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE IT LONNGGGG IT SHOULD BE SHORT AND COME RIGHT OFF!

@JASMINE- I WILL LOOK FOR THIS IN AMERICA!! I WILL LET YOU KNOW IF WE HAVE IT IF SO I WILL TRY

THANKS!! PLEASE CONTACT ME AT CHEYENNEELSWICK@HOTMAIL.COM (ONLY THE FIRST C IS BIG THE REST ARE SMALL!!_

Ok, this is really embarassing but i am 18, and have always had a problem with my downstairs area. I trim it often and have shaven most of it off a few times but it always itches and is prickley minutes after im done. also, i have to shower before i go to bed and in the morning before school to make sure that area doesnt smell (it’s kindaa fishy smell but pretty sure it isnt a yeast infection) if i go a morning without showering i feel dirty and can smell myslef all day and feel really embarrassed. ive talked to my mom about it and she got me one of those talc powders but it didnt help much and it was really hard to explain to my bf why there was white poweder on my cpanta. I would never let him go down on me or take off my panties because the sight and smell was just too mucg to handle. also my mom wont take me to the gyno because im not sexually active yet. Please help. how can i get rid of the smell and make the area smooth? The smell is the bigger issue here.

I personal found out how to get those black spots away. U shave the opposite direction. You don’t want to drag it that’s not good and will cause scrapes. You want to slowly do it so that don’t happen.

Honestly, I really didn’t know what to do about the bumps after shaving. One problem I face is that (although I shower every day!) after shaving, after a couple of days, there is a VERY unpleasant odor and pain in the area between my privates and leg. Any ideas as to why this happens?

So after you dry off down there, you apply the bikini zone or baby powder first? How do you get rid of dark scars on bikini area?

Alright, I’m 14 and I don’t care what people say. It needs to be taken care of and I’m doing it! Does it matter which way you shave it like left to right or right to left?
I don’t think I’m going to use baby powder because it usually irritates me even more.

@JustHappenedByHere – it only happens after i shave.

Hi,

Bikini zone doesn’t work sounds like your the only one with it figured it out I’ll try your tip thAnk you!!!

i’ve been shaving since i was twelve.My mom showed me how to do it , she is very hairy down there and shaves every second day. It also helps to stop matting during my period which i hated and had to wash my hair several time a day.

This website is amazing ! I use to always get red bumbs but now I use diaper rash and it’s gone! But I still have the scars of the old bumbs , is there anyway to get rid of them? Please help!!

hey y’all! i tried the honey advice sent from L-A and you wouldn’t believe the results. I went from having my Vaginal area (big bush betty) red, sore, and itchy. But now thanks to L-A I’m a free woman. The honey has re-named my Vaginal area to SMOOTH SAILING SALLY and I’m feeling gooooodd! Thanks L-A! you saved me from years of vaginal depression and i am no longer big bush betty!

Hi my hair is sticking out of my swimmers and the swimmers are bulging because if the hair ‘down there’. If I hadn’t shaved it it would be triple the length. I am 11 turning twelve next year and I havnt started my period or getting my breasts yet. Is it unusual to have really long puberty hair at the age if 10 and 11. One day at camp
When we went swimming I my friend started staring ‘down there’ and showed everyone. I looked down and saw about an inch of hair was sticking out. I had last shaved the week before using a spare shaver I found in the cupboard. What can I do because I am sure that my puberty hair isn’t supposed to grow this fast. Lately at school I have been called hairy pants. I just want to be like any other girl and I feel left out. Please help me because I don’t know what to do and if I should ask for bigger swimmers to hide the hair but if I ask I won’t say that I won’t then to hide the hair. Then it will look like I am fat though or that I have a giant bum.

PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME BECAUSE I AM HUMILIATED AT SCHOOL AND I NEED YOUR ADVICE

Ok Sarah there are a couple things that you can do. Before i started shaving my mother and i used a electric trimmer that works for around that area and have you tried waxing that is also a ok way to get rid of hair anywhere down there. Anita2001 that is pretty normal that is how my hair was when i first started puberty and i started in elementry, a really good way to get rid of hair is waxing it keeps it away for longer periods of time rather than shaving a lot.

Hey ladies, I’m 13 and I’m going round my boyfriends house next weekend. There were rumours going round school saying that he wants to touch me up, he also wants me to jerk him off. I’m really happy with this and am exited that I will be having an 0rgasm. The problem is my pubs, I shave them but I don’t know whether to shave them all off or have shorter hairs, or just to neaten the edges up? What is the most common style as I don’t want him to be shocked when he ‘s trying to find my vajj in a bush of hair? What should I do? Any suggestions?

Hey girls. I am 13. I don’t have a new new razor, but i want to start shaving down there. I play soccer, and sometimes wear short shorts. When we strech, and do butterflies, if you know what htose are, you can probably see some peek-a-boo pubes. This isn’t good, because I am one of the only 3 girls on my team!!!! I am scared to try, because i dont want my mom to know(it’d be akward). I have deodarant, conditioner, and baby powder, i am just afraid i will hurt myself. I will try a little bit tonight. Please give me some ideas. Thanks!!

Its absolutely important to shave that area whether you have a boyfriend or you dont. As 99% o the commenters said : it get itchy. Yes it really does. I’m thinking of doing the hair removal ( laser ) it is much faster and easiar ( it doesnt itch as i read from another sites ) it can be very expensive but its worth every penny.
