Shaving pubic hair = red bumps and irritataion?
I shave all my pubic hair once a week, and it starts getting itchy after 2-3 days and I get these red bumps (kinda look like pimples) just on the outside like where my underwear rub I was thinking maybe that's why, but was wondering why this happens and if there's a way to prevent it and stop or minimize itching

Just a bit of the old razor-rash. Use a nice quality, sharp razor and a soothing-gel lotion. Shave in the direction of growth, even though against it seems to be quicker & more effective. Wash-off all traces & dry well straight away. The itching is when the stubble starts to pop back up, and shaving does make it grow back more strongly and 'spiky' if you like. Waxing yanks the hairs out root and all (just saying it hurts eh??), so it's a more effective way and avoids many of the little snags we've got here. It also lasts longer. But shaving's fine too. I wouldn't plaster myself in a variety of scented skin creams down there though, sensitive area right? You might swap one itch for a much more annoying one! Comfortable underwear, loose fitting in natural materials will cause less irritation. Cotton is natural, so's silk but only real silk, not shiny satin garments. I know loose cotton undies aren't very sexy and you ladies feel good wearing pretty ones. Maybe put them on when you're dressed-up and partying, and wear not-sexy cotton ones when you're casual? Having exposed skin all the time by removing the hair on a regular basis should minimize the effects anyway over time.
