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.
