Shaving bikini area without getting bumps?

I’ve always kept it trim around that area, but haven’t shaved it before. Well, I’ve started to shave down there instead. Every time I do, I get red bumps. I used to be overweight, so I never really cared before. But now I am thin enough to wear a bikini. However, now I have red bumps, so I’m still too embarrassed to wear one. Is there a way to shave without getting the bumps?

Answer #1

Great advice phrannie!

Walmart has a special shaving cream for black men that get shave bumps. I have used that in that area before and it is wonderful! I don’t remember the name of it but it is with the other shaving cream. Besides using that, Suave hair conditioner makes great shaving lotion. Been using it for years now.

Answer #2

Some tips on how to prevent razor rash:

  • Use a proper shaving cream or get an aqueous cream to shave down there.
  • Then NEVER shave in the opposite direction of the hair growth…that’ll definitely cause ingrown hairs
  • After you’ve shaved put on something with aloe vera there to sooth the area…or use woman’s deodorant…for some reason that has something in which helps for the razor rash
  • lastly if you can try and find a product called vaya smooth…it’s specifically formulated for ingrown hairs and razor rash and should take it away.
Answer #3

Use Secret Powder Deoderant…for whatever reason it eliminates bumps and the itchies.
