Q: 16/f
I find it really difficult to shave my bikini area, because it seems like all the hair is growing in different directions, and I always get little bumps even if I use a brand new rasor. I just cant get a close shave- which is weird because I have no problem having a close shave on my legs. So, my question is, you know that "Nair" stuff? like the spray on, rinse off and hair is gone stuff? I was wondering if you cound use that on your bikini area. Is it made to do that? Has anyone done that before and can tell me if it works or not? Any info about the usage of "Nair" is appreciated. Thank you!

As painful as it is, one of the best conventional methods of hair removal is waxing...especially for your bikini line. I used to shave too, and I'd get bumps and ingrown hairs all the time. I switched to waxing, and it has made a difference in the long term. The hair grows back later, and overtime, it growns in thinner. It is painful, but well worth it. You can ask around, a lot of salons offer waxing services. Just make sure that the facility is clean. Usually it's around $30 or so for a bikini line wax, it depends on the place. If you really don't want to wax, you should definitely avoid using Nair or something similar. The ingredients are too harsh for that area, and the hair grows back quickly, and just as thick as if you had shaved. If you are going to continue shaving, make sure to use a fresh razer, and soften the area with a shaving cream made for sensitive skin, or better yet, plain old baby oil. Also, make sure you have been in warm water for at least a few minutes before you shave. Noxema has little razers made specifically for the bikini area...I haven't used it, but it looks easier to use than any generic razer. But anyway, I would still recommend giving waxing a try...you will be happier with the results, especially in the long run.

I am here to give honest advice, when I feel I have something to contribute. I try to be as empathetic and understanding as I can, as I know that the way something is said is as important as the message itself.
I usually advise on love/relationships, friendship and family issues, nutrition, and health (mental and physical). If I feel I can help out, there's not a whole lot I am unwilling to answer. Ask away!
