That bathing suit is.... interesting. It looks liek you're trying to hide though!

I haven't tried anything like that since I was in highschool! Even if I thought I could handle the waxing all the time, how could I go long enough to let the hair grow out to be waxed? -------------------- Taking it one day at a time.....

Mags suggested using Tend Skin ...here's the previous post on this topic...web page The bathing suit does scream "I am trying to hide something"...but most people will probably just think you are a modest person!! It's still cute, and if you're only going to the Y...I think what's most important is that you are comfortable. Personally, I use a womens electric razor to shave the bikini area..it's a remington, and it does a good enough job for me (not as close as a bic, but you can only tell if you get down there and investigate...and I don't think the gals in your class are going to be doing that!!) I do alot of swimming, for physical therapy, and I'm lazy, and I try to avoid extra pain. So this is my current option of choice -------------------- Heather "Quod me Nutrit me Destruit" Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: BathingSuits and RazorBurn       #172241 - 04/21/05 01:03 PM Edit Reply Quote babymom Reged: 02/24/05 Posts: 162 If I use a disposable razor I always follow with a hydrocortizone cream- seem to work great!! Also I sometimes use my husband's electric razor (sh!! don't tell) when I have to shave often- that way I am guaranteed no razor burn!!!

Reged: 10/14/04 Posts: 2518 Loc: Michigan Michele- I have problems with razor burn down there as well. This may sound really dumb, but someone suggested this to be before after you shave take your deoderant stick and rub it on the areas you just shaved. I swear it has helped me! I don't have any clue as to why but it does. Also if I soak in a tub for awhile to soften the hairs it makes it easier to shave because the follicles are open. Are you also making sure your razor is new? In the summer I go through a blade a week just to keep the ingrown hairs down as well. Hopefully that will help. As far as the suit if nothing else works and you are worried about the razor burn look then who cares? Like you said you are not out to catch guys or anything like that!

Thanks for everyone's replies! It seems a couple of you here recommend the Tend Skin and another of my friends told me about it today so thats three people in one day, I'm sold! I've read that it can burn but if it ultimately makes it feel and look better, yay! I'll try to not shave it until I get the tend skin in, I oreder it three day shipping and than I'll switch to a nair type product and see if that doesn't help! I'll give it another month and if its still as bad and painful as it is now, I'll give up and just let it grow and order the granny suit! Thanks girls! I appriciate all the suggestions! I just feel like such a leper sometimes it looks so bad, not to mention, it just plain hurts! -------------------- Taking it one day at a time.....
