but this is a few days after i have
shaved, not the day of :S. you know when
the hair starts to grow back out? i also
have larger labia minoras too so maybe
that has something to do with it?

I've had my legs and bikini area waxed a
few times, and each time the aesthetician
has told me to make sure I exfoliated any
area that was waxed, otherwise ingrown
hairs were a possibility (which itch
terribly).
I'm sure that similar issues can occur
with shaving, so try a good loofah sponge
and some kind of exfoliating body wash
(something with the scrubbing beads) and
see if that helps during that time.
Good luck!

I get this too and I have small labia; so
that's got nothing to do with it. I have
found that lotion helps (yes, even several
days later). Another tip is to just shave
again when it gets itchy.

About all you can do is shave again. You
could try Vagisil to keep the histamines
from flaring up, but it's not likely to
help much.
when i shave there i use witch hazel its
great trust me

I've found that shaving again after they
first begin to grow again, when it gets
itchy, seams to increase the chance of
getting ingrown hairs on by body. I just
let them grow out a bit; that way it
doesn't itch as much as it would if I
continually shaved.

your vagina is inside you so you wouldn't
be shaving that. if you mean your labia
are itchy from razor burn you can try tea
tree oil after you shave.
