Bikini Line

[Tweetybird28]

Hi ladies, wander if you can help? I have very sensitive skin and waxing and using creams leaves me very irritated and kinda blotchy. Do you know if the electrical bikini trimmers are any good? And does it leave the area red and horrible? My mate used one once and she said it left her with red spots and irritaion. Help!!

i have an electric bikini trimmer that comes with different attachments - epilate, trim and shave-right-off. the epilation one is agony, the trimmer one is handy if you just wanna go shorter, and the shave-right-off one gets rid of all your hair but when it grows back it's very itchy, and often leaves you with red spots where the hair folicles become blocked. I think using a shaver "Down there" always leaves the skin quite irritated, no matter how sensitive your skin is. Thorough exfoliation before shaving can help to minimise the irritation, and gentle exfoliation and moisturisation of the area helps afterwards.

i use an epilator and as mentioned is pretty sore at first although gets much easier. is ok in front area of bikini line but am too scared to go close to more sensitive areas so end up just using for my legs and get waxed at bikini. Immediately after doing legs are a bit spotty but for example if do at night they are fine the following morning. A friend had problem with waxing so beautician recommended they use something different on her and seems to work - dont know exactly what though, perhaps a beautician can advise. Trimmers just trim so no very close shave but perhaps an electric shaver might do? no creams needed for that or anything.
