Shaved pussy

[BDMjane]

This is quite embarassing. I had my pussy shaved several days ago. Now I have rash all over. Any suggestion?

Oh gosh, the joy of shaving rush.

I kinda figure its normal... I used to have it really badly when I first started shaving. It helped for me to shave every day and with a clean (fresh) blade if possible and at least for as long as you are still sensitive. But it didn't take long for the rash to go away. Now I can easily shave my pussy without any rash occuring.

I have to say I still get shavers rash on my inner thighs and I HATE it. I'm trying to battle it with baby powder.

[edmund1]

it is mechanical in origin . but make sure you are not allergic to the components ie cream for shaving or soothing . and try to be more gental the next time

[devilishsub]

try a specialized bikini area shaving gel, its the only thing that helped me when I started shaving, shave often with fresh blades and take your time while doing it. Moisturize afterward with an unscented lotion I like the ones for sensitive skin. If you are shaving for ascetic reasons and not the process of being shaved, you might want to try waxing, or Nair instead

[lucy]

I usually use just body lotion, which does the trick perfectly, but maybe my skin is just not too sensible.

Another question about shaving: Does anybody know whether those razors with 4 or 5 blades are better than those with only two? And how about those lady-razors? They seem to be just more expensive than those for the guys, or is there indeed a point in using them?

[his_girl_l]

i use a mens razor with 4 blades.

i don't know why, but i am less likely to get a rash if i shave with really hot water then soak in the bath for a while afterwards. It's when i shave quickly in a warm shower that i tend to have problems.

And moisturise.

[AndreaDawne]

I had that problem too when I first started shaving. And I was a rookie. I freaked out from the rash I had developed. As I had learned, men's razor are better than women's razor. I don't know why. Maybe because you know men have thicker facial hair then women's legs? Also I agree if you shave regularly it will help with the rash. sounds to me with the one with a severe rash, is either you shaved yourself dry, or your skin is sensitive, or the blade was dull. Can be many things. Aloe works wonderful on rashes! *smiles*

[BDMjane]

Thanks you all for the replies. Very useful.

Actually I use sensitive area shaving oil with 3 new blade razor. It worked really well at theat time. But the rash came 2 days after.

I'll try to shave everyday then to see how it works.

Thanks to you all.

[AndreaDawne]

After you shave make sure you keep it moisterized with lotion. Even after a couple days you want to keep moisterized. With the pantie rubbing your skin raw or your clothes tend to irritate it. *smiles*
You're welcome!

I found that if I wasn't getting the red bumps the day that I shaved the problem was with the hair trying to grow back in and encountering a resistance and leading to irritation. I found that it helps if I exfoliate the area the day after I shave; just don't do it the same day as you shave. This helps to remove any dead skin cells that could be blocking the pores. I just use these exfoliating gloves that I picked up where the carry the loofahs and such in the stores. I just use a little bit of shower gel with the gloves in the shower, and afterwards just use some light lotion and it helps a lot.

[voxelectronica]

make sure the area is exposed to something warm and damp. Either soak in a warm bath before shaving or soak area with a warm wet washcloth. This will open up the hair follicles. Per the actual manufactures of razors, there is no difference between the blaes used in either the mens or womens razors. More is better though XD.

Ever since i started using deodorant after I shaved I've noticed that if i do get the rash it doesn't itch.. at all and the next day my pussy feels like silk. Other than deodorant (any dry stick) shaving often will help this. I have been shaving well over a decade and shaving regularly is the best thing you can do to avoid this.

[Pendog]

Add a little Dreft to your bathing water. This soothes the itching from the new hair re growth. In time you will grow used to shaving, and this will lessen the more you shave. Plucking is also recommended.

[HelenaKitten]

Plucking? That sounds painful. I tend to shave in three day periods, and I use a baby lotion afterwards and that helps a lot. So yeah. XD

[lucy]

Plucking? That sounds painful.

It is. But it is also a total turn on when it's done by my Master.

[submic08]

I get waxed all the time and love it. I have no problems with rash when waxed.

[BDMjane]

I get waxed all the time and love it. I have no problems with rash when waxed.

Waxing is very interesting also. May i ask what kind of wax you use?

[rainbi]

I get waxed all the time and love it. I have no problems with rash when waxed.

I'd recommend waxing as well...but I get mine done at a salon, so couldn't give you the name of the type of wax they use.

[SirLs_leenie]

my gyno told me to only use Dove soap there that the skin is as sensitive as the skin on your face and should be as pampered as the skin on your face.

[Dr_BuzzCzar]

TIP: If you do shave against the grain to get that extra-close shave, you should always finish with another stroke with the grain. This will "reset" the hair stubbles in the correct direction and greatly prevent razor burn! (This works also for men's facial hair.)

From:http://www.sexylabia.com/pubic-hair2.htm

Since I'm not equipped with a pussy I can't say from personal experience, but since I do own a pussy my observation of it being shaved is that the tips on that website or pretty useful.

[BDMjane]

Oh thank you very much for all advices. I'm really grateful to that. They're all very useful. Now I'm getting used to it, not feel ichy but the rash still appears. That's look really bad.

[medusa]

I had dreadful razor rash no matter what method of shaving I tried (and I tried lots of different razors and the like too) so now I go to a salon and get waxed. I wouldn't recommend anyone doing their own waxing for bikini line or brazilian unless they are experienced- the potential for splitting the skin, causing painful bruising or just plain leaving yourself in pain is just too high.

Waxing can cause ingrown hairs if you aren't careful, but exfoliating and moisturising will prevent almost all of them.

Some things just aren't worth persisting with and if your skin is like mine resulting in rashes that last way beyond the day when you should be shaving again (and making shaving again impossible without major bloodshed) then I think that you're entirely justified in finding another way of dealing with the fuzz.

[SauvagePouline]

Plucking all the way. Much cheaper than waxing, and you can do it sooner than you can re-wax (if you follow the rules about letting it grow in to such n such a length)

It is painful the first couple times but after that, you get used to it. I can (well, could, haven't done it since I got to france, why bother when I'm the only one seeing it?) do mine in 30min to an hour. When I get down to the labia, or however far I can before it gets toooo sensitive, I stop and shave the rest. Lasts a couple weeks. Just DON'T dig the hard to get ones. They'll grow out eventually.

Now what I would like to know, is how the heck do you get the stuff that's so far down you can't see it? I can get my labia farely well, but I can never get the rest baby-smooth.

I usually use just body lotion, which does the trick perfectly, but maybe my skin is just not too sensible.

I find body lotion is great for getting a close shave... I will use it just after getting out of the shower, so the hair is wet and the skin is soft. I shave my pussy hair down (as in further south towards my crotch) with my razor and then I use a personal shaver to get the hair nearer to my skin, it's like... this: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...500_AA280_.jpg I don't go completely bald, lol... but it's extremely painless, rash-free, and it's a very close shave

[tazzinnc]

When I shave the pubs I don't get a rash, but my wife still does. She has some 'shaving rash' lotion that she uses that works great for her. I can't remember the name of it, but it was from the drugstore and around the womens shaving cream area. WAsn't expensive either. She said it works better than some of the 'expensive' products that are supposed to reduce shaving rashes... But for the life of me I can't remember what the name of the lotion.

[memphis420]

I use a personal shaver to get the hair nearer to my skin, it's like... thislink) I don't go completely bald, lol... but it's extremely painless, rash-free, and it's a very close shave

My K is hair-free, and the first time I ever saw his "down-there" area, I was like, "Whoa!". I had never seen a guy shave it all off before. Now, its sexy. I have zero hair in my mouth when I go down on him, and that's a BIG plus. He told me that he likes the way I do mine... I use one of those personal trimmers, and I take the head right off it and shave everything but a "landing strip" down to about 1/8". It's a little fuzzy feeling, and he likes that. The landing strip is only about 1/4-1/2" long... I can't STAND it when it gets longer!!

[nwslv]

wow Just started shaving and am having itching problems, plus I feel like a velcro pad. Some great hints here . Thanks

Wax

[Gentle]

1- Get a razor with as many blades as possible, some small scissors/trimmer, a mirror, antibump shaving gel(preferably a clear one so you can see what you are doing) , a method of exfoliation and hydrocortizone cream.
2- Trim as close as possible with the scissors/trimmer.
3- Soak in warm/hot water before hand... this seems to soften the hair and makes its easier to cut. (I usually drain the tub right after so that my shaving gel doesn't get washed away while I'm actually working)
4- Use lots of the shaving gel on your pussy and inner thighs.
5- When you are ready to shave do so very slowly. Taking your time reduces the chance of nicks and gives you a chance to turn it into a very enjoyable event.
6- Use the hand mirror so you can see what you are doing. This allows you to see spots you might be missing, but it can also add to the overall experience. (I have a free standing one so that I can prop it up between my legs and have both hands free to work and so that I can also feel for any areas that might feel like they need extra attention)
7- When you are finished pat yourself dry, don't rub. Sometimes rubbing will irritate your skin especially immediately after. After you are dry go ahead and apply the hydrocortizone. (Perk of hydrocortizone? Once you've got it you can use it just about anywhere. If you get razor burn on your legs or even just the random little red spots you can dab it with cortizone just there and it helps. The stuff works for regular rashes, and everything in between so it's just a handy supply to have around the house in any event)
8- Over the next day or so you can start an exfoliating process, and you can keep using the cortizone. (or moisturizing lotion if that is what tickles your fancy)


And by 'you' I really meant me cuz this is the system that I have found works best for me. I think some of the advice is repetitive becuz some of the other posters give the same advice but... I really suggest trying the hydrocortizone.

I haven't had a full-grown pubic hair since 1982. There have been a few instances with maybe 1/4" growth because of long backpacking trips or the like, but that is it. My secrets to no ingrown hairs and itching? Wow, wouldn't laser hair removal be nice, but too pricey.
1. Use your choice of shaving cream, but I use plain old bath soap while in the shower.
2. Trim as close as possible with a scissors or that pop-up gizmo on an electric razor.
3. Always shave WITH the direction the hair is growing, never against it. For me that is to shave towards the penis/testicles. Where my legs connect to the pelvic region I shave away from the pelvis region.
4. Use a good body lotion, such as Lubriderm when dried off.
5. You can always use a special electric razor such as 'Cleancut' made by a French outfit in Japan called 'Seikos-Yard Co. Ltd.'. This you shave against the grain and use baby-powder, but still use the Lubriderm when finished.

Hot water is always better than warm for shaving, the hotter the better (barber shops used to use towels that were boiled in water on the face to make sure it was warm enough). This is because it opens up the pores better.

It is also a good idea to exfoiliate before you do anything - a good scrub with an apricot pip body scrub will remove any dead skin and cause the hairs that are there to stand on end more, making them easier to cut.

You know, I don't know any women who actually use a woman's razor. Most of them are the same as men's but pink (a colour spawned in hell and only appealing to young girls as far as I can work out) and often cost more. Don't think there is any real difference between a female razor with 3-4 blades and the equivilent mens' one. I think the womans' are usually designed to be easier to hold when doing the legs (hence the big chunky handle) but I have never seen a woman have a problem doing that with a man's razor...

Moisturising straight after is also a good idea. I don;t think it matters how you do this, just a basic moisturiser will do it. Not perfumed, however, as that will irritate more in that sensitive area.
