I get everything waxed off regularly and I love how soft and clean I feel, but when it grows back, I get these awful ingrown hairs!Does anybody have the same problem? I go from feeling beautifully clean and soft.. to sore and ugly(when the hair's growing back).Would love to know if anyone has the same prob and what they have done as a result.

 Look for Bikini Zone! Its a great cream that helps prevent ingrown hairs.
You can also use a little bit of antibiotic on the ingrown hairs to prevent infection. Keeping things dry also helps.

 I used to wax, but I started getting ingrown hairs so bad that they were getting mildly infected. I fixed it, by stopping waxing (and using a good gentle exfoliator in the meantime). Once the hair grew back, I never once experienced any itching or pain. I keep it trimmed and clean and have never had any complaints about it, especially not from my skin.
If your boyfriend hasn't been giving you oral on the basis that every last hair isn't removed, let me ask you when the last time you demanded he wax before giving him oral was? I think you need to have a more serious discussion with him about why he's not OK with oral, because needing you to be hairless is kind of a ridiculous standard.

I find regular gentle exfoliation and moisturising can help with ingrowing hairs. I don't think there is any easy fix, but I definitely think waxing is preferable to shaving. As I find hairs can grow back at a different pace I sometime use an epilator to try and keep things under control until the next wax.

reader, anonymous, writes (10 August 2011): Yes I get the exact problem, just after one or two days of shaving and I hate it and I can feel it thrgouh my underwear. Anything which causes the hair to be broken off short with a sharp tip can cause ingrown hair. Shaving is the leading cause, followed by waxing and tight clothing. I think some of the only simple ways to try and reduce it is to shave in a different direction( or wax) , putting a warm wet cloth over the ingrown hair, tweezing them or use certain creams you can find.
Hope this helps.
