I would like to be able to shave all my pubic hair, as I just feel more comortable with my body that way and prefer the look/feel of it.
However, whenever I try it leaves stubble, a shaving rash and becomes incredibly itchy and a little painful. I know that others shave their pubic hair and don't have these problems, so there must be a way round it.
As much as waxing sounds like it would leave a better effect, it's just too painful, and I don't have the money to pay to get it done (I can't make myself do it, because I do one strip and then chicken out due to the pain.)
So what can I do to get a good result with shaving, and avoid shaving rash? I would really appreciate any tips.
Also, keep this in mind, too, if you're feeling a little self conscious about the bumps you've been getting: guys don't care about that. So don't stress over the bumps as far as the aesthetics of it go. The only issue really is more for you if you get ingrown hairs or some other form of irritation.

After you're done washing your hair and everything else, soap up the area to be shaved. Put on the shaving cream and carefully shave the area. If you've just recently shaved, wait a few days for the bumps and rash to go down. I hope this helps and good luck. [ julie75's advice column | Ask julie75 A Question ]

Good luck! [ Lonesome1's advice column | Ask Lonesome1 A Question ]
