This can be done simply by having a long hot soak in the bath! your skin must be wet and try shaving in the opposite direction to the hair growth, usually shaving upwards towards your stomach is best. Ensure that you use shaving foam and read the ingredients, it may be that you are allergic to some of them such as lanolin. Another suggestion is using a hair removal lotion like 'veet'. It is easy to apply and you just wipe it off with water after a certain amount of time-no worries! Shaving causes many women to have irritating bumps so its totally normal but waxing is definatly easier. If you dont want to wax becasue of embarrasment, dont worry. You can do it yourself in the confort of your own home. They are easy to get hold of in stored like boots or superdrug and are not expensive. Also, it dosnt hurt! its like plucking your eyebrows-you will get used to it.

Apply a hypoallergenic shaving cream or lotion. Do not use body wash, which has perfume and can be an irritant. Shave your bikini area one side at a time in a slow upward motion. Always wear cotton underwear after, as this is less likely to irritate your vaginal area. After you are done, apply a moisturizer to the area you have shaved (again, make sure it is not perfumed). This may help to prevent dry skin and possible ingrown hairs which leave the irritating bumps.
