*Bleeding*
Im 16 yrs old and starting shaving my pubic hair at 13yrs old. And for some reason it gets all pricky and when I shave the pricky lil hairs off I start to bleed. Anyone have any ideas on what I should do?

Actually, it's not really recommended that you shave your pubic hair. It's there for a reason, the same reason you have hair on your head and eyebrows and eyelashes. The prickly hairs are probably ingrown hairs or the parts of hairs you didn't shave off pushing towards the surface. This will cause itching and irritation. The best way is *not* to shave it right away, because you'll just be shaving skin - hence, the bleeding. You should probably exfoliate first with a loofah or some kind of lotion with salt or sugar in it as an exfoliant (make sure you're unallergic, first), these will expose the hairs. Wait for them to grow a bit and then shave, if you must. But you ought to consider letting it grow out. It serves a hygienic purpose.

maybe your not doing it right.you might be to rough with it just try in a gentle way.get a better razor or maybe wax.

wait till it grows back and try again but be more gently and try using shaving cream and moisturising ofterwards or using baby oil. or you could use wax. its really easy and no nasty razor burn! just make sure you read the instructions carefully and it will be explained what to do!
hope i helped!

ok heres a suggestion. DO NOT SHAVE UP! you can shave sideways, DOWN, left or right but shaving up hurts too badly! or just wait to everything has grown back evenly (im talking like 4 days) then shave again
-laney :o)

try letting in grow in some.. then use nair it works good.. or when you shave buy a new razor maybe even a guys razor they work good on that area.. also shave with shaving cream/soap/conditionor..shave downwards first then shave upwards and when your done put lotion on it or baby oil.. ♥ Dez

okay, i agree with Lucee, but DON'T EVER use hair removal cream, read the fine print...
just wanted to assure that one ^^

firstly dont shave quite so often, let the soreness settle. once all the redness has gone try using a different shaving cream/gel etc. you can get some for sensitive skin this should help you. eitha that or you can get some hair removal creams these work just as good and last longer as well. hope i was some help

ps, some removal creams are suitable. just make sure that you get one that is ok to use! make sure you do read the 'fine print' and you will generally see that some creams are very safe to use. xXx
