I have a question,
My girlfriend tried shave off her pubic hair once but a little later it got really irritated, do someone have a sugestion on how to do it with minimum risk of skin irritation.
She said she could do it again if we could find out a safe way...
i'm a sucker for shaved i might add...

i use this new shaver by wilkinson called 'instuition' and the blade is surrounded by aloe and cocoa butter or something and i can shave really quickly with that because its designed for sensitive skin.
she should shave with the grain and then against it whilst pulling the skin tight.
after i've shaved i put e45 on to make extra sure
it might also be a case of her skin getting used to it because i used to get rashes when i first started doing it but its fine now.
Welcome to the site, first of all
the best things that she can do are:
*Trim the area first with scissors, down to a length of about 1cm or shorter if possible
* Hold a flanel over the area, covered in warm water - allowing the pores to open more
* use shaving foam and a new razor
*shave gently and lightly, dont rush or press too hard
*moisturise afterwards
good luck with the shaving!!!
Enjoy the pleasure of a full bush!!
Yeah my skin used to be like that too but its fine now, now problems.
Make sure that before she shaves the area she lathers it up really well, and make sure she moisturises afterwards
It's also more expensive.
And bloody painful! :eek:
I find that normal razors give me a rash but the electric..well battery, ladyshave ones don't. Odd.
nope not painful really. have to use a ladyshave on some more sensitive parts though where i dont dare use the epilator. But i now have the majority of my muff which only grows whispy har if left and mostly doesnt grow at all
2 much info
it grabs hairs and pulls them out complete with the root
As long as you remember to do a test patch to make sure that your skin doesn't react badly to the cream (not a nice place to have an allergic reaction I'm guessing!!) then it's a really simple way to remove hair
Are you serious? I used one on my legs once, and never again :eek:
u joking?
No. It was painful as hell. I'd far rather get waxed, at least it's over quickly then.
I second that! I was in agony, and I had barely started! :eek:
i don't like the smell of that stuff. they should make nicer smelling ones.
yeh but it prob says okay for bikini line.
I'll discuss the alternatives with her..
