In my experience there's not much you can do. I always get razor burn, and in my case it lasts up to a week... Think yourself lucky it only lasts a day!

There are many pre&post shaving lotions and such that can help minimize the bumps.One i've heard of ,but have not tried myself is "coochie cream"".It is supposed to give you a very close shave and leave no bumps.I would love to have laser on all my body hair-but it is very expensive.Maybe when I win the lottery!!!!Until then,i use schick intuition razor.Pretty good,little bumps.I tried waxing,but could not stand having to let my hair grow out so I could wax again.Loved the results for the first two weeks,then the hair starts to grow back-argggghhhhh.Good luck and keep shaving!Patty

When I shave now with conditonor I dont get as ba bumps but my legs doo and they ich o soooooo much

Okay, no one likes the "hairy scarey," but come on! You are a woman and we have hair down there. Being hair free is for little girls! And if your doing it for a man, i'd question his reasoning. It seems so simple. The reason you have bumps is because it's not natural. Keep it nicely trimmed, but don't shave it off!

not doing it for a guy, doing it for personal perference. I am allowed to shave off all myhair if I wish sorry if it's little girl like.

Nope,i do not do it for my man.I myself am repulsed by the hair.I once dated a man who b.E.G.G.E.D. Me to not shave.I told him to date a sasquach(sp???) if he wanted a hairy woman.Being au natural in the hair department is just not for me!!!!Patty

I'm not saying to go completely natural. Keep it trimmed and one should definitelyshave around thier bikini area. Who wants hair half way down their thighs? But it seems logical enough to me that you if you are creating a problem for yourself, then stop creating the problem! If shaving it all off makes you hurt, then maybe not shaving it is the answer.

I use a product called "coochy" and u can get it at porn shops. It works great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It helps a ton. Ive even gotten my friends to use it and they r hooked now too.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the advice.
