so i shaved my pubic hair and i was pleased with the results. my girlfriend really liked it too. :) she was really turned on and she couldnt hide it either. my problem was that a few days after i shaved i realized some nasty razor burn and i also had to painfully dig out about 5-10 in-grown hairs. it really sucked. any tips? i'm open to other methods of hair removal too. thanks!

Dear pubic hair shaver,

First step is to soak in a warm bath,this will open your pores,then while still in the bath use a good shaving gel and a fresh blade. After shaving pat the area dry,DO NOT RUB WITH TOWEL,this will irritate skin.Then take a piece of cotton wool and apply

Johnson and Johnson Clean and Clear blackhead clearing lotion with a patting motion,do not rub, it will sting a little for a few seconds but it is effective.Re apply morning and night for 48hrs or whenever area gets red and itchy but any soreness should be minimal if you remember to apply clean and clear or similar product

Faraday agony auntVeet and Nair seem identical to me; not sure which one I used, but to be honest hair is hair whether male or female, and I think you will spend a long time looking for men's products in the shops!

Faraday agony auntDepilatory creams work wonderfully well, but as I found out the hard way - DON'T LEAVE THEM ON FOR TOO LONG!

They burn, and the last thing you want is a burn down there!

The products advise not to use them in the pubic area, but it's ok as long as you don't put them on your shaft (why would you, it isn't hairy?) and please, definitely no longer than 10 minutes or you will get skin damage which will be very painful, weeping and potentially very dangerous.

Better to have two 5 minute applications a day or so apart, but you will love the results: smooth, no spots, cuts or bumps.

Works for ladies too, BTW!

I've had the same problem shave with the way the hair grows and do it about every 3 days... Your body will get used to it and it'll go away...

Use rubbing alcohol swabs on it everyday. Burns like hell, but it gets rid of and keeps razor bumps away. Once a day.

I only have one, and that it don't do it! Lol. I did it and had the same problem. best thing to do is keep it trimmed to a very short level. I don't really know other methods. And waxing just sounds like hell!

Mizz_BrownEyez agony auntwhen u shave, use hair conditioner i know it sounds weird, but im telling you its the new shaving cream, also after shaving there it would be a good idea to put some baby lotion, after you have dried off. Avoid putting after shave or cologne (yes guys do that), if you notice them coming back, i wouldnt shave down there anymore, maybe just trimm.
