What are the best ways to keep everything groomed down below? How do you deal with the bumps or the sharp hairs when they grow back? What about the hair that is too far back to get, any tips? I can't afford bikini wax and I wish I could.

I use "Bikini Zone" for the bumps. It works really well. Its a gel in a tube at your local drug stores.

I squat in front of the mirror,lol. and yeah, bikini zone works and somethng else called bikini bumps...lots of hot water first, in the shower and always a brady new razor...Also, if you dont let it grow back you get less bumps..but the bikini zone on a couple of times...Bikini zone and bikini bumps arent cheap though...

well, my hubby does it for me... He has never knicked me and gets me so smooth... First he trims it down as far as he can with eletric trimmer (men's trimmer by the way) and then he lathers me up real good with sahving gel/cream and hot water... then he users several new razors to shave me... washes me up and checks out his work and if not satisfied repeats process on the areas that need it... not sure if he does anything else as far as technique or product but I find he does a better job than I do...

I've seen it at Walgreens by the register before, but its not always there. They carry it on their website, here's the link. Not sure if that means they have it in the store though.Nads at Walgreens

Hi all,

I use a Venus Vibrance razor because I tend to cut myself with regular razors-and even sometimes with this one!! Tips on grooming below the waist Tips on grooming below the waist

Anyhow, it gets the hair off well. I've had my legs waxed occasionally & they're so SOFT afterwards!

Need to buy a new razor because I'll be swimming next week!

peace,

AC

This is a good topic. I shaved many years ago, and didn't have too many problems with it getting itchy when the hair grew back, but it grew back in a way I didn't like, with a thick tuft of hair right on my mound where the outer lips met, and I tried shaving it in different ways, until I got the hair to grow back the right way. Haven't shaved it since.

But, I'd like to go back to it, except for the work involved, because it was better during "that time of the month." Still, it's healthier to have the hair.

Ok.. this isnt below the waist.. but I just tried the NADS Facial Wand. It worked great!! I did my eyebrows.. something I havent done for years .. I usually get them done at my former work place with my former boss doing it. But I followed her guide and wow.. I didnt have as much ( what little it was ) discomfort with the NADS as I do the hotwax. I think I am gonna try my legs next here and see how that goes. The great thing I read is that the strips they provide are washable really !! the NADS comes off really easy!!

Okay, I just read through this thread and it sounds like you guys are shaving it all off. Is that right? Are you shaving down to nothing?

I think they are.
But I think it looks weird with absolutely nothing so I always have to leave a bit. My bf does it and always wants it to grow back faster.
But that's men for you

i shave it all off sometimes... well... on two occasions now lol. i actually prefer it when it is about half a centemeter long. so its just past the prickly stage but still short. so there is SOME protection for my poor parts rubbing on the seams of my jeans lol. i've been contemplating using my epilady to tidy up the edges. perhaps doing more than just the edges quite gradually over time... but i'm a little worried about lumps and bumps and ingrown hairs. it does a good job on my armpits but i do need to be careful about pulling the skin really taught or it munches up my armpit in the tweezers :-( wouldn't want that happening down there :-(

this is above the waist but i actually got up the courage to epilate my arms the other day. mostly because of of the girls from work was saying that she didn't want to take her jumper off because she needed to wax her arms. so we talked about hair removal on arms and seems more women do that than i had thought... i've always been really self conscious about the long, fine hair on my arms. didn't want to shave, though, because people quite often touch my arms. epilation worked pretty well except... i have to be careful to remember not to scratch my arms (they do feel a little itchy) otherwise... my arms break out in bumps all over. sigh. no perfect solution, i guess...

Wax is the only solution.

Unles you'e cool with the laser stuff.

Never shave your bikini.

Wax is the best beacuse it slows down hair growth a lot.

Must get beautician that puts the wax straight onto the skin - no gauze or strips. Less pain and less aggrevation of the hairs (meaning they don't grow back as fast).

I cannot be bothered with anything but my beautician; she knows how to do it a lot better than I do, and she sees vaginas every day so I am not embarrassed even though I don't really like ppll touching me Tips on grooming below the waist

Yep, I'm all for waxing!!
I don't get it all taken off. Just narrowed down to some "racing stripes" and the patch in the front.

Waxing hurts, but that only really lasts while I'm getting waxed. By the time I get in the car to go home I don't even notice. It helps to take an Advil or Aleve or some sort of pain reliever about an hour before you go. Not only do I stay smooth longer, the hair isn't coming back as thick.. I do have to pay my beautician to do it for me. I tense up too much if I'm the one doing the pulling 'cause I KNOW when it's coming. Not so bad if someone else does it.

I do still shave my pits, and I trim what's left over down there.
