I for one have the "full bikini wax" and haven't had a problem with bumps, irritation, sores etc YET! I realize I don't have all the mileage on my bike yet that you more experienced riders do but I'm sure there will come a day when I can relate to your miseries. Don't sound pleasant though! Oh and by the way, my husband loves the "totally shaved" feel too! hahah
