For the ladies, bikini line tip!

[~max~]

For the ladies here who have sensitive skin down below but don't want to go dow the waxing route (too painful!). I used to shave with ladies disposable razors, and ALWAYS suffered from red spots afterwards, no matter what I did. Exfoliating before did not work, anti-inflamatory / antibacterial creams did not work, I always ended up with the dreaded red spots. Well, I've been using a ladies electric shaver ( Babyliss) for a while and never had a problem since! It's been a complete "life-saver", so to speak. I use it on dry skin, and it comes out perfectly smooth, yet no spots afterwards! I just had to share, in case anyone was in my situation. It might just work for you too. :O)

Ok, maybe that was a revelation only for me....lol

[weeal]

max - i will look this shaver up, would be a godsend lol
nothing worse than razor rash

[weeal]

is it the Silky Smooth one, lilac in colour?

[tiggerblue10]

Me too :)))

[~max~]

Hi Weeal! It is pale pink and takes batteries, and is just a normal ladies shaver, not especially for bikini line. In fact, it's totally awful on legs....lol I got it in Boots when they had them on offer for �5! I don't know which model, but I'm guessing they would all have the same result?
It really has changed my life! lol You're so right, the dreaded shaving rash used to bother me soooo much! I'd be glad if that could help people. :O)

this it? (I just used ebay to get a pic lol)

[~max~]

Yes! that's the one. I didn't know it was the Silky Smooth one....Guess I just got a bargain from Boots then! lol I hope it works as well for you. :O)

I think I'll take a trip to Boots/Superdrug tomorrow.

I have waxed before and although I have quite a high pain threshold its pretty excruciating. I saw a product advertised in a magazine recently called Relax and Wax No-Scream Cream. Apparently it has an anaesthetic to numb your skin to make it more bearable. Not quite sure where to get it from but its �13.50.

[weeal]

ta for the hint, i might give it a go lol

Hi Tigger! Wel, I know I will NEVER wax again! I tried once, and it took me an hour from start to finish, it was so painful I had to have Vodka breaks to numb the pain lol! Plus, I STILL ended up with a rash. :O( lol
Please report back Weeal, I'm curious to see if it works for other women too!

[Le Chat]

Yes, but ladies, if you go to a salon and have their 'best waxer,' then it's all over in minutes and the pain is fleeting!
Waxing in itself, on a flat leg, is difficult enough, without all the contours and fleshier skin of the bikini line. It takes a beauty therapist a long time to perfect the technique, so God knows it would be painful for you max doing it yourself!!!!!!

i cant find one to buy in the shops now ... you all beat me to it .

[baremission]

[~max~]

Aw sorry it didn't work for you...:O(
Maybe you were a bit too rough, or the hair was too long to start with? I've no idea.....Still works for me though....
