Best way to prevent razor bumps when shaving bikini area?

[MetzFan]

I've read that deodorant helps prevent them after shaving. Has anyone tried this?

Can anyone also recommend a gel or razor?

Thanks.

I got my kitty lasered, but back when i had hair i would use the deordorant after i shaved and it actually did work to a certain extent, other than that i don't know I could never find anything that REALLY worked thats why i got it lasered. and I LOVE IT :icon_love.

Several girls on this site have recommended using hair conditioner, I haven't tried it myself though!

I tried using the deoderant trick, but it didn't work for me. I use an epilator and I always get ingrowns. I have been using Paula's Choice skin relief treatment and it works a little bit, but I still get some ingrowns. I would love to know how to get rid of these so I am looking forward to reading more responses!

walmart had this "bikini zone" shave gel during the summer. i dont know if they still stock it but you can probably definately find it only. cheap and it works great.

don't use the neutrogena special little "bikini area razors" absolute trash. used one once and tossed it...do NOT recommend.

i dream of laser though.... /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Yea, I heard strips use roll-on deodorant to prevent bumps, tea tree oil or Tend Skin may be something you want to try.

Thats what I use and it works great!! I think they sell it at drugstores too!!

Wow, lasered? Was it painful and does it ever grow back? Ever?

I use deodorant after I shave and it works pretty well. I use regular stick deodorant, never tried the roll on. The trick is to put it on against the direction your hair grows.

i use tea tree and it definitely does help cut down on the number of razor bumps. it even helps my husband when he shaves his head.

hi , well i read that mixing asprin and warm water together(making it pasty) gets rid of razor burn, though i haven't tried it yet. also use a good shaving cream for sensitive skin, really cover it. make sure your skin is really moistened with warm water first.

Do you guys apply the tea tree oil directly???

Thanks Kim!

I read that if you use astringent immediately following shaving, you can kill the germs that can cause infection/bumbs. try it, hope it works.

Bikini Zone is great...works very well. You just rub it on after shaving. It's also important to use a new razor.

SO....this lasering of the kitty......DO TELL

Cost

How many treatments?

A Certain type of laser we should ask about?

Any pain?

How long it lasts?

 

[SexxyKitten]

This might sound odd but I use Olive Oil to shave that area. I use just the OO and I make sure to take my time shaving and I always use a sharp razor. I started doing thi about 6-8 weeks ago and holy wow! What a difference. Closer shave, smoother, less itching when it grows back, hardly any bumps at all! I shave it all, so I can definitely tell the difference!

I just can't say enough good things about EVOO /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Haha, that's so weird, everytime I see EVOO I think of Innova EVO dog food /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I use bikini zone also and it works great! I just bought an epilator and haven't used it yet so I hope that the bikini zone works.
