Girls? when shaving a certain area?

Question

when i shave my downstairs i tend to get little red bumps/spots. almost like i cut myself a billion times. haha any suggestions on how not to get that? i use shaving cream... and my razors are fine.. idk what to do!!!

Answer 1

maybe its the way you're shaving. shave down not up

Answer 2

yeah shave down not up, dont go over the same spot more than 2 times, give your skin 3 days to rest before you shave again, let the shaving cream sit on there for a few seconds before you shave but make sure your skin is still wet....you could also try a nair product if this doesnt help. theres a product called razor bump relief too if you want to try that

Answer 3

yes i know what your talking about, i use to have the same problem & sometimes it still happens but very rarely. just make sure that when you want to shave it you do it after coming out of the bath or the shower. That way you pores are still freshly opened, it will make the job alot easier! After i finish showering i usually grab another towel a big bowl of warm water and do it in my room..i sit down while im doing it too. make sure the razor your using is frequently changed..otherwise just buy a razor that you will use just for that particular area..which is what i do. when your shaving dont press down too hard and shave in the opposite direction of your hair growth. whatever you do dont shave it again till its grown back a fair bit...shaving it when the hair it still short and stubly hurts and isnt a very good idea lol

Answer 4

its just a razor burn, did you just start shaving? usually it will do that when you first start, itll clear up the longer you do it, if not, then after you get out of the shower apply cream onto the area and that should help

Answer 5

yeah I get those too. If you go to the store and look under teh shaving cream section, there's a cream especially to reduce those. I forget what its called though, so go take a look. You wait for teh red bumps to heal and THEN put it on. And it reduces future bumps/spots

Answer 6

Make sure you use a GOOD razor, like the Venus Embrace, that one is awesome, it has 5 blades for a clean, smooth shave. I also don't shave unless it is pretty long down there, like if i do it monday, I probably won't do it again until thursday or friday because your just ASKING for trouble if you do that.

Answer 7

I used to get it too, its just c**p isn't it!

I never found out what it was and i was never satisfied even when i shaved down.

I then started waxing and am now really happy!

Answer 8

use conditioner (like for the hair on your head)

shave down

they have a really good "after shave lotion" at victoria's secret- or just use non fragrant lotion after

Answer 9

Shave down not up.

If you need to reapply shaving cream do so liberally.

Use a moisturizing body wash afterwards.

Answer 10

this happened to me before from shaving up... so yea i suggest shaving down first and then feel it &+ if it feels like when hairs growing back then u can shave up but gently &+ that wasy its better  

Answer 11

Try putting after shave on, im a guy but ive experienced this before.......with shaving my face!

Answer 12

i guess just don't shave there anymore!!!
