I’m experiencing extreme discomfort on my vaginal area from shaving. I have so many bumps that are bleeding and it’s not very slay girl boss of me. It’s very uncomfortable and I need help. Please!

      When I was a stripper I had to shave, and it was awful lmao, if you want to shave, avoid getting too close to the pretty bits like your lippies, shave down especially on the bushy bit in front- not up like your legs, moisturize with a non-scented lotion like goldbond - only on what you shaved not the pretty bits. Please be careful, it's going to be itchy and uncomfortable, but if it's what you like, I recommend a shaver that's meant for sensitive areas not a razor

      Um, you might not like this, but put aloe Vera on it, and stop shaving. Like. Don’t shave there again. It’s not meant to be shaved. That hair is there to protect you from infection, and help with a plethora of other things. Fr my friend, you will feel much better. You can trim it with scissors (like I do), but I 1000000% recommend never shaving there again.

          @CaptainHolmes yup! I shaved there once and I regretted it for the next two months as it grew back painstakingly slow and was SO ITCHYYYYY

      A&D cream may be helpful! also stop shaving for a hot minute while your skin heals and keep an eye out for ingrowns

      Never never ever shave down there!!! With a razor! They make electric trimmers for that. You should prep first. Exfoliate exfoliate exfoliate……..

      My gyn told me never to shave with a razor down there because it usually causes so much irritation. She recommended using a trimmer instead.

      Try using some shaving cream. They actually make products to help with preventing bumps and pain down there. Also, the direction you shave in is important. Go with the grain (shave downwards) and then side to side. It doesn’t provide as close of a cut, but I have never gotten those bumps again.

      Try aloe Vera straight from the leaf and loose clothing. It’ll heal up. But it does take a while.
