The nurse at my gp told me off this week for shaving (down there) as it can cause irritation and weaken the skin and told me i should start waxing

The thought of waxing makes me want to cry, can anyone recommend any products to help stop me having problems with the skin in that area so I can keep shaving stress free?

If you have issues thats your skin not shavingc sure as hell dont think ripping away the hairs with hot wax will improve it!

if your skin is weak/thin, DO NOT wax.

it'll bruise badly and potentially tear.

I didn't think my skin was weak but it used to rip skin off me, used to leave me scabby shame because I prefered the result and it was less stubbly when it grew back....i use baby oil to shave with. Veet just burnt me

Not sure if you use it or not but shaving foam/cream always helps and most are moisturising now to soothe the skin

I was told by a nurse not to shave because i got a strep infection on my skin.

I did go and get waxed. Yes it was painful at the time but the best thing I ever did. The strep cleared up but I'm back to shaving as I can't wait until I have enough regrowth to have it done again!

The same with creams, you have to wait until the hair is quite long for it to work.

Loads of shaving foam, can't remember who but one of the companies makes a special one for that area. A good razor and buckets of moisturiser.

I tried veet once and I got it on my clit by accident and nearly burnt it off. So I'm in no rush to try it again hahaha

I don't use shaving foam as I worry about it getting on the sensitive parts and causing more problems

If a doc told me to stop shaving because it might weaken my skin id point out i already have a nice hole in the general area and what i do with my body is really none of his concern

I'll have to look online and see if I can find special ones for that area, I never thought of that thank you!

We use a shavy followed by a Cleancut shaver, it gives a really close shave with no irritation:thumb:

I use a women's shaving gel and a decent razor. Would be interested to know of other things I could use though...X
