Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | BathingSuits and RazorBurn

Ok Girls, as some of you may remember, I've been taking an after work water aerobics class at the local YMCA. I originally went out and bought a tankini kinda thing with boy short bottoms. The bottoms covered up my bikini area but wouldn't stay in place and rode uo terribly!

So, I bought a conservative on piece suit that fits fine but I have to shave the dreaded bikini area.

So, I've been shaving about three-four times a week since December and its just awful! I thought the razor burn would go away if I kept at it but its just getting worse! I've treid Witch Hazel, Bikini Zone Cream with Lidocane which helped a little with the pain but didn't do anything for the huge, red bumps. Someone told me to try Destitin diaper rash cream, been using it for 2 weeks and its not helping much either. Avoiding the fact that it looks AWFUL, I mean REALLY bad, it hurts!

I checked into the lasar hair removal but you can not do that while pregnant and I hope to be pregnant in the next month or two. So, whats a girl to do??? I found this suit here http://stores.piamedia.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=h2o&Product_Code=PSA1&Category_Code=unitank&Product_Count=2 but when I showed it to Will he made a funny face and said he thought he had better not comment!

Well, I got to thinking, Will won't ever see me in it. Its just a bunch of ladies working out in the pool, its not like I'm trying to impress anyone or pick up guys. All the other ladies just wear conservative one piece suits but I just can't take this razor burn anymore! I've had to go days without panties because it hurts so much!

But, I don't want to draw any extra attention to myself either by wearing a suit thats so different from everyone elses. The other good thing about this suit is that it will also hide my stretch marks on my thighs and comes in LONG torso! I don't mind paying the money as its not supposed to fade or stretch so it will last a long time but will I look like a dork in it???

Come on now guys, HONEST opinions please!
