Alrighty. Use plenty of shaving cream, always use a brand new razor, don't repeatedly pull the razor over the same patches of skin, and gently pay dry or let the area air dry. Anything which can irritate you is bad - including picking at any spots which arise, scratching the skin, using scented moisturizer, etc.

theres a brand called bikini zone and it has bikini shave cream specially designed for shaving and then they have a cream for after you shave that prevents ingrowns. it really works, i reccomend it. oh and make sure the last thing you do in the shower is shave, it opens the follicles better.

Never take a hot shower after shaving your bikini line. That also creates those bumps. Take a shower in warm water but warm water that quickly turns to cold water. Also use lotion right after. That will help those red bumps not appear. Good Luck!!

Make sure you use a sharp razor + lots of shaving cream. Aaand get some of that aftershave gel stuff.

Or you could just get some nair.

they are not ingrown hair... they are razor bumps... wait til they go away and the next time you shave uses plenty of shaving cream and put lotion on it after you are down

i get them all the time and they hurt me!, While your shaving, you need a sharp razor, shaving gel and hot water, but when your done and out of the shower, put some lotion on it. Sometimes if i get sick of it hurting, ill just let it grow in two days, unless theres, other reasons not to, and then shave it, it gives it a chance to grow in, and its easier to shave the longer you let it grow, thats why ya dont shave during your period cuz no ones gonna see it anyway, then it gives it a long time to grow in lol

Waxing isn't as bad as it sounds, you can even get kits at k-mart or whatever. It's nice because then you don't have to worry about anything for like a month.

But if you prefer shaving, make sure you use a sharp razor, really hot water (as hot as you can stand) and shave gel. good luck!

hErEtoheLp answered Saturday July 31 2004, 9:31 pm:
It's normal to get those bumps, you're just shaving in the wrong direction, and it's also probably razor burn, you when you get them on your legs too, don't forget to use soap. But also go in the opposite direction from the direction you normally go in...uh, if that makes sense.
