Hair down THERE??

[bluebug32]

I find that chamois cream helps with some of the irritation in the leg creases. I just tried Nair for the bikini zone. I did a test patch and it was fine. Then I applied to the area and WOAH! Worst irritation-chemical burn imaginable. I looked like a Light Bright for three days. Now it's back to the razor/trimmer.

I used to shave but stopped because sitting on my bicycle gave me a lot of ingrown hairs and irritation. Now I only shave the bikini line, but this still irritates my skin quite a lot. I found that shaving, but on dry skin with a new blade works best for my skin.
I am considering getting a laser treatment so that I don't have to worry about shaving anymore.

Those of you that suggested waxing - do you really get all the hair done? I imagine that this must REALLY hurt? I didn't even think this was possible because the skin there is so soft.

I do not get the full "Brazilian," just the creases of the legs... that area. It is painful, for for about ten seconds. Some of the technicians are more adept than others and there are different kinds of wax, etc. that mitigate some of the pain. But, it does hurt. If you are a wimp, I don't recommend it.

I use those home wax kits for bikini areas, which are really just super-sticky tape type pieces. I don't wax everything, just a little beyond bikini lines. Yes, it hurts, but you sort of get used to it. Sometimes I shave instead but I need a pretty new blade to do that.

And I tried Nair once (just on my legs) and no chemical burn but it smelled horrendous and really only took off about half of the hair.

I trim very close with clippers (the haircut type ones), keeps it nice and close with no ingrown hairs or irritation.
