razor burn
how do i avoid razor burn/red bumps when shaving my vagina? once the bumps started i waited a week almost two weeks to shave again and they were still there for the most part. how do i get them to go completely away and prevent others from appearing?

omg i know what you mean. i used to ALWAYS get them and spent hours searching for a cure for it. and i finally did! pretty much i shave once with the grain, than once against the grain, then i put on (dont laugh, it works) powder deodorant "down there" and then i dont wear underwear, just loose shorts or pants, for liek an hour or two so that its not irritated.. After a few shaves, youll see that they start disappearing and if you apply it every time you shave, theyll most likely go away completely. GOOD LUCK =]

Try to shave in the direction of the hair growth; it will be less smooth right after shaving but will irritate your skin less. Use shaving cream if you do not do so already and try moisturizing after shaving - since shaving burn is irritation to the skin, the moisturizer will help calm that down.
If this does not help, it could be that you are prone to razor burn in this region, and may want to try other methods of hair removal. Waxing is probably your best bet; however, if you decide to do this buy a loofa or you will get red bumps of the ingrown hair variety. You could try other methods such as hair removal cream, though in my experience they are less effective against coarser hair, so they may or may not work in the vagina area.

Well first make sure that you dont have a dull razor, use shaving cream and only shave in one direction, like if you shave down only shave down not sideways or up. That should help =] Hope i helped.

Have you tried using shaving cream? Some cheap brands really don't do much, but if you get a good kind it should help prevent razor bumps.
