what's the best way to keep a bikini line neat and tidy? I've tried some things in the past but then always start to itch terribly when the hair barely starts to grow back.

I haven't quite figured it out myself...sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't itch for me...I think your body gets used to it after a while though, as mine isn't soo bad as it used to be...I just use a razor and good cream...
I couldn't image waxing!!

I use this and a good razor (mack III) I think... it is a mens razor w/3 blades. Make sure your water is real warm and keep it kind of wet during the shaving.... that softens the skin and allows that SMOOTH shave... that really helped me...stop the regrowth itch....I also use good old hand lotion (none scented), after skin is dry and repeat the next few days.... I just learned that from trial & error.
GOOD LUCK!!

I also like to use this: Tend Skin I have super sensitive skin, and this helps with the irritation.

Thank you for all your suggestions. Yesterday I got some of that "Skintimate" shaving gel for sensitive skin and tried it last night. Worked pretty good....

Does that stuff really work Mags? I have super-sensitive skin too, and man, both my pits and bikini line would be kissing you if it worked.... not that you'd want that 
The only thing I've found that doesnt irritate my bikini line is an electric razor, but that doesn't get a close shave like a disposable razor... but close enough, and I don't have to deal with the annoying razor bumps. And its a little tougher to navigate...

LOL - This amused me for some reason.
I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who doesn't itch very often when I shave. I did find out last weekend that if I use a men's razor (had a free sample LOL), I got a VERY close and smooth shave. Just used normal shaving gel and went slowly.

It really does work for me. I always get the bumps, irritation, ingrown hairs and I'm super fair and my skin turns pink just if you look at it the wrong way! This is like magic in a bottle. I bought it after I saw it recommended it like 3 different magazines - in actual articles, not ads.
I had tried other stuff (Bikini Zone comes to mind) and it did squat.
Tend can kinda "sting"/tingle just a hint for a few seconds after you apply it, but nothing excruciating or even that uncomfortable. And that only happens right after you shave, because you can use it later on that day or the next day, and you don't feel anything. Hope that makes sense! LOL

You just described me! Wow, that's eery. Lol, everytime I go get my brows done, I'm pink for a day...and oh, my whole face turns brilliant shades of pink at the slight embarrassment. Its such a trademark, that I've taken Aerosmith's "Pink" as my theme song...
Wow, I'm totally excited!! I sure hope Tend works as well on me as it does everyone else. Thanks, Mags, for telling me about it! You rock  Bye bye ingrown hairs and yucky red nubbies!

I am the exact same way. I hate it. My sil loves to embarrass me. I think it is her goal in life to embarrass me at least once everytime I see her.

Ick.. I always have to get my brows done a couple days before an important event due to the fact that they turn bright red and get little pimple/bumps for a couple days afterwards.
Ah.. the downside to being pale ghost white. LOL

The only thing I've ever found that works is the Tend. (see previous posts)
Hopefully, someone else has something you can find to use NOW!
