Trimmed pussy?

[Embrace69]

My advice is to shave with the grain of your hair growth, not against it.

It might not feel like as "close" a shave, and you may have to do it more frequently, but it eliminates the bumps/ingrown hairs because you aren't cutting them off below the surface of the skin.

Other tips are to

• always shave during or immediately after a hot shower or bath during which you wash the area well
  
• apply shave cream to wet skin and let it set about 3-5 minutes before shaving
• rinse with warm or hot water after shaving to clean up and then immediately rinse with cold water to close the pores in your skin
• then apply a good-quality alcohol-free moisturizing after-shave balm and let it air dry

Doing these things will help eliminate the two most common causes of your irritation, which are bacteria and surface contaminants being pushed into your pores and hairs cut below the surface level that your epidermis then closes over.

Thanks for the advice, I did all of the above mentioned tips. It still wasn't helping which is why I stopped because I was tired of feeling uncomfortable and itchy like I needed to find the nearest tree trunk to rub my crotch up on just to get it to stop itching. Hair removal down there just isn't something I'm really into. I'm happy with what I have and so's the bf.

But by all means everyone else is free to try what they want to get their desired results. I'm just sticking with what I have

I suffer with the same problem if I use razors so a few years ago I bought a specific intimate shaver. I get the hairs really short first with a trimmer then spread medicated talc. Then I use the shaver, it is small and takes some time but the results are superb, pretty sexy too if you get hubby or a friend to do it for you, the results are really smooth and I never get ingrown hairs or the dreaded bumps, see my pics for the evidence! To find one Google 'intimate shavers', there a few on the market, not too expensive either! Good luck! Cxx.

I personally think trimmed looks sexier than shaved, and I'd certainly prefer it to stubble. Just from passive observation, it seems to be women who are more particular about being shaved, I don't hear other guys complaining about a little fur.

I've solved the problem by not shaving. My two shaving experiments were traumatic, and I've vowed never to do it again.

I'm a fan of wet/dry epilators. I use a Panasonic one. It's like waxing 10 hairs at a time, which makes it hurt a hell of a lot less. I spray the area with Bactine first and since my epilator can be used wet, I spray it too while it's running to kill the bacteria. I wait for the area to dry, because it seems to pull the hair better before I begin. I believe the Bactine prevents infections because it kills the bacteria on my skin and it takes the hair 3-4 weeks to grow back in again, and when it does grow in it's so much softer and nice feeling, not scratchy like beard stubble.

I think sex is a lot more enjoyable without hair below! No one could convince me to grow it all back in again. I love being hairless!

Thank you all so much! Making a wish list from this thread... when I get the extra cash I'll let you know how things go... pics depending on how good it looks. I don't hate myself trimmed (my hair is light so it's not that prominent but it's the feel. Sooo good to have a smooth vuh-jay-jay... heh) Hugs to you all!

this is going to sound crazy, but i shave completely dry. i only use water and a little dove to catch any spots i missed.

I've been completely bald since i was 16 and i used to get the little irritations when i used shaving cream, and/or razors with gel or crap on the strip. I use cheap gillettes...shave totally dry, then touch up in the shower with unscented dove.

Scarlet, I just looked it up for you:

The razor cream from Lush that I use is called 'Prince' and comes in a black small sort of ice cream bucket. Another plus of it is that you don't need aftershave anymore. Other brands that I used make your skin dry, this one doesn't. On the contrary.

And be sure use a sharp razor blade ! I'd say just pick a brand new one.

To keep the razor blade sharp for as long as possible: clean it well (e.g. with a tooth brush) and dry it and then leave it in e.g. a cup with the razor blade at the top, so it can dry. Razor blades do rust and that makes them blunt (not sure if I am using the right word here)

Hair conditioner. Softens the hair, skin, and keeps the irritation at bay while shaving.

Dunno how I forgot that one. I've been using that stuff to shave my face in hotels ever since the terr'rists made it so I can't carry shaving gel onto airplanes anymore.

Psst, Travel size shave gel.

A big thick but nicely trimmed patch is a huge turn on!! Ladies just trim it along the sides.Shaved is nice but the hair of a woman is so hot. It holds your sent in it. Love the smell of a woman down there. Check my sweeties bush.

 

[Scarlet]

I heart you guys! Thank you so much for the help, and the research!

 

[lovenuts50]

i love a full bush, but nicely trimmed is nice too

Does anyone have this skin type and/or does/did anyone have this problem? Any tips or recommendations?

My skin is way too sensitive to shave completely and, yes, I've had that issue when I've gone overboard with a razor.

I use the trimming attachment on an electric razor and trim closely (when I'm completely dry) but don't shave it all off. For me, it's really soft when it's trimmed like that, and I prefer the look and feel on me to a complete shave. I don't have any skin irritation issues this way.

I do the same. I end up just as sensitive to stimulation as when I shave it completely, but avoid the ingrown hairs and irritated skin.

Hazel is a god of improvisation.

 

[D_Charlie_Choadholder]

honestly, closely trimmed is best, but I have to admit, i ask my gf to grow a bush ever so often

omg 16 and completely shaved (woody alert) i bet you got the looks in the girls shower!

personally, i use skintimate, a quad razor and a little baby oil after. all done in a hot shower.

Personally, I like some bush down there. It shouldn't be a jungle, but I have no problem at all with a neatly manicured lawn. :biggrin1:

I find myself getting jealous of anyone who has a nice, smooth pubic region without irritation or bumps. It's especially bad when someone mentions they would NEVER go down on anyone not shaved. (Mainly lezzie friends.) I have dry, extremely sensitive skin and I feel like I've tried every shaving cream, razor and after-shave lotion (including Bikini Zone... in three different forms) and I always get bumps. Not cute. So... two questions...

Does anyone have this skin type and/or does/did anyone have this problem? Any tips or recommendations?

Second, I've pretty much resigned myself to "closely trimmed". As long as I don't have a bush, is it really that much a let down when you pull the panties down?

Thanks in advance.

My wife uses something called an epalator or something like that and never has a problem, she will never use razors as she will then have the same problem. Epalator or something?? Its like an electric shaver for men.

I would be hesitant to compare it to an electric shaver, as an epilator actually YANKS out the hair. Slightly different sensation there. =p However! If you're able to take the pain of waxing, an epilator is an awesome thing to have! I use this one and I would never, ever go back to shaving or waxing. Epilators do the same job as waxing, only without the cost or mess. Also, in my experience epilators are able to grasp much shorter hairs than waxing can. If the hair is long enough to be felt as "stubble," it's long enough for the epilator to grab. I honestly don't know why more people don't use them.
