Question Posted Wednesday July 27 2005, 4:51 pm

okay, so my soccer team is having a pool party and the boys team will be there too (varsity, jv, and freshman teams for both the girls and guys) and its on the 7th. i'd like to get in the pool, or atleast in my bathing suit, but i shaved everywhere down there one time and i got really bad razor burn and it itched and was so irritating for ever! my mom and i dont have that kid of relationship where i can just be like "hey i'd like a bikin wax take me to get one please" and i dont know of anyone who could take me to get one, so how i could i "clean up" down there and get rid of some hair on the edges so it wont stick out when i'm swimming? thanks for any help you're able to give. 14/f

well you could always get a waxing kit yourself with either a pot of wax n strips or readyto use waxing strips. both are really easy to use. just make sureits good quality stuff and you read the instructions first! it will explain how to get what you want!
hope i helped!
oh and have fun at the pool party!

try a dipilatory like nair for the edges or shave.
for shaving, clean, sharp razor && cream or soap are needed. shave the direction the hair grows or 2 the side if parts get dificult. put on after shave lotion.
for the dipilatory, you might want to patch test it before you do the whole area. then follow the instrutions, hop in the shower and rinse it off.
if none of those sound good, get boy shorts bottoms or somthing that covers a bit more. good luck && i hope this helps!! <3

Just tell your mom that you need to go the store for some personal hygiene products. I'm sure she will understand and not have a problem with taking you then. You don't have to explain exactly which products unless she asks.

You can buy an at-home waxing kit for under $15 and they're fairly simple to use. Just take into consideration your pain tolerance as these can hurt sometimes.

Another option is to buy a hair-removing like Nair. Just make sure it says on the bottle or box that it's for the bikini area.

You could try shaving again but remember these tips. They will help reduce razor burn and itching.

1) Trim the hairs close to the skin so your razor has less work to remove the hair. It will save you from going over the area too much and prevent irritation.

2) Soak in a warm bath for 10-15 minutes before shaving. This will help soften the hairs and plump up the skin so it's easier to get to.

3) Always use a sharp razor, preferably one with more than one blade. This will make it easier to get the hairs off in as few strokes as possible, preventing irritation. I recommend Schick Quattro for Women. The four blades cut down on your shaving time and keep irritation down by cutting more with fewer strokes.

4) Use a shave gel/foam that's formulated for sensitive skin. Your skin "down there" is more sensitive than it is on other parts of your body.

5) Shave in the same direction and try not to go over the same spot more than twice. Repeated shaving over a spot will irritate the area.

6) When finished, rinse the area well and pat dry with a soft towel. Do not rub.

7) Follow up with a soothing, non-greasy sensitive skin lotion that has hair inhibitors. Jergens Naturally smooth is a good one. It's fairly inexpensive, keeps the area soft, and slows down regrowth.
