I used to have this problem and what seemed to help me was using mens shavers for some reason there so much more gentle try the quatro or mach 3. Oh and also most importantly shave only once a week so you wont irritate your skin so much.

Jemma, the best answer ever written about shaving has been given by an aunt called Satindesire in this link. Please follow her instructions if you must shave, but waxing is always better. http://www.dearcupid.org/question/specific-instructions-on-shaving-down-there.html

As an older woman, I don't believe in shaving, trimming with a scissors is good enough for me. It's natural for women to have hair, but that's only my opinion. Please follow the advice given by Satindesire and you should find you have no further problems with shaving rash.

Fee-Fee agony auntOoh, if it were that simple hon!

The following worked pretty well for me, but I got so sick of it I opt for waxing or epilating now ... bloody hurts the first time, but you get used to it!

Best thing you can do is:

* shave after a hot bath or shower - the hairs will have softened and stood up a little, making it easier

* use a moisturising shave gel that contains aloe vera, and leave it on for a minute or so before you shave - it naturally soothes the skin, as well as softening the hairs even more

* make sure your razor blade is sharp - technically they only have 3 or 4 uses in them before they get too blunt and cause irritation

* use a moisturising lotion afterwards - make sure it is plain and unfragranced though, because perfumed lotions could make it even worse!

Repeated shaving does actually increase the intensitiy of razor rash, so make sure you give yourself regular breaks, to make sure you heal completely in between shaving.

I used to have this problem too so I know how you feel. I use "Nair", it leaves no razor bumps and you feel really smooth. Instead of shaving, try using the creams one more time and leave them on about 10 minutes longer than the directions say and see how it goes, that's what I did and it worked for me :)good luck!!
