shaving vagina
i have a lot of problems when it comes to shaving by pubic area. my skin is very sensistive and my hair is too dark, so even when i do shave you can still sort of see it under the skin. i want a really smooth bikini area that is flawless. any tips? i have tried everything that has to do with shaving. ive soaked in a bath before shaving, exfoliated, used new razor and shaving cream, and shaved in the direction of my hair. no matter what i do i always get an ingrown hair, or red bumps, or the apperance of hair under the skin. i just want to have a very flawless bikini area. so ladies, what products or techniques do you use to get a nice bikini area?

Wax it. It lasts longer than any type of shaving. And there wont be any razor burn, or bumps, and you wont get that "five o'clock" shadow effect afterwords. It will lasts for 1-2 weeks as well!

I have the same product as you do, love. Sensitive skin, dark hair, and the hair it self grows out of the skin at a very shallow angle - making it so that even when I've just shaved you can still see the hair under the skin. I can't afford to get it waxed, and never liked the concept either. The things that I've found work the best for me, is to pull the skin back while shaving it, so that the hair is forced out of the skin a little further while you do it, and using a 4 blade razor rather than a 3. (I use disposable ones, so that may or may not be something you do already.)
What I do, which sounds crazy to most people, and takes a long long time, is pluck. Every once and a while I get completely fed up with the hairs that don't shave properly (which is just the top, not the "fiddly bits"), and take out my tweezers and have at it. I'll pluck all the dark hairs that show up really well, then shave the rest. I've found that it takes a week or two for them to start growing back. And as insane as it sounds, after the first few plucks it really doesn't hurt!
But if that's not for you, then it's not for you.
Either way, good luck!

Well it sounds like waxing would probably be a better option for you. Shaving just removes the hair off the surface but waxing removes it under the surface so it can't show through.
If you wanna stick to shaving: for one you're supposed to shave in the opposite direction of your hair, and put the cream on in the direction of the hair. I usually use lotion or conditioner though, not shaving cream. Not sure if that makes a difference I just don't like shaving cream.
There are products you can buy to eliminate irritation and ingrown hairs, but I can not say if they work or not because i have not used them. I do know that in my experience, I get ingrown hairs when I get lazy about shaving, so if you don't let the hair grow out too much, it wont have a chance to grow in. Also you might wanna buy a special bikini razor. Good Luck!
