AWFUL bumps from shaving down there, would NAIR work on my vaginal area?
Question Posted Monday July 31 2006, 11:51 am
I shaved "down there" about a month ago. I got terrible bumps, which I guess I should have expected. But these bumps haven't gone away and now they are like pimples, getting white heads and they bleed when I pop them. Is this normal?
And no, I do not have an STD...I am married, happily for 7 years and there is no possibility of either of us cheating.
I will never shave "down there" again, I was wondering how Nair would work? Any suggestions?

You can use nair, only the hairs down there have to be long before it can work accurately. Try waxing. It's not very comfortable, but it keeps the hairs from coming back for a while and it doesn't leave nasty ingrown hairs. [ Melody's advice column | Ask Melody A Question ]

orphans answered Tuesday August 1 2006, 1:10 am: nair and veet worked fine for me. the reason you got the bumps is from razorburn. they are not pimples, and they bled because the skin down there is verrry sensitive, so they look like pimples, and trying to pop them would majorly irritate them. i would suggest getting waxed, becasue there isnt anybumps. (it will hurt the first few times though, after about 3 times, itll feel pretty fine) [ orphans's advice column | Ask orphans A Question ]

Regular Nair will burn you badly. Do not use it.
I believe they make a product for bikini are so be sure to read the label. There are several similar products out there as well. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]
