We both like to be smooth below but sometimes shaving can leave a rash or little cuts if not careful. Is there a decent harmless alternative ie would veet do the job

Veet is a bit aggressive I find. I shave , rinse with cold water and then use Johnson's baby talc afterwards. No rash or irritation. Xx

Laser!

Far and away the best in my experience and I tried veet, shaving and home waxing first.

If you don't want permanent, just shave every day and eventually you'll get used to it.

Buy an epilator! I do everywhere on me and have lots of fun. I also have been known to epilate others on request

We've started using Magic powder. You mix it up layer it on & wash off after about 10 mins. Does an excellent job but is smelly. They do different ones some are not as eggy smelling as the one we've got.

Get into a waxing routine xx

Great results and the smoothness after a wax is so much better.

Veet is just good for hard to reach places but very messy for big areas and not always 100% effective.

Laser is very expensive but is the ultimate... Have had to go that route for me face... Can't wax that

I prefer being smooth and don't have s problem shaving but a friend has suggested creams. Are there any creams for sensitive skin since very seems to burn her.

Laser and epilators seem a bit too extreme, and I'm not gone to pluck every one out with tweezers lil

I switched from shaving to waxing and then on to home Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) treatment. IPL works in a similar manner to laser treatment but uses an intense light bulb, similar to old camera flashes. This, in most cases, causes the hair roots to heat up and become deactivated.

I found that it took a few months to get sufficient treatment with IPL (working on a treatment every other week) but now have somewhere in the 90+ % clearance with it on my pubis but it won't stop hair growth on my scrotum so I still need to shave there.

I shave every day when I bathe .....I think the way not to get a rash is to use a good shaver and renew your blades frequently. ...never had a rash......I must be lucky

I use veet, find it really good but definitely do a test patch first to see how your skin reacts. It doesn't irritate mine at all, which is odd because I have very sensitive skin usually. G prefers shaving to keep himself groomed.

Almond oil is good,or try talc powder and always a good quality razor.The cheaper single/twin blade razors are the ones to avoid as tend to tear hairs out rather than cutting

i've found veet good, but you need to work out how long works best for each body location for you. My thicker leg hairs take 10 mins, whilst more delicate areas must never get over 5 mins.

Shaving works, but direction of shaving is everything for me, if i'm to avoid a rash (sadly the smoothest feel is the opposite way lol). After care is important too to avoiding a rash.

I've tried epilating... but must say when it grew back on my thicker hairs i got some ingrowing ones, so again after care is really important.

What i can say... get the skin used to being smooth regardless of method seems to have one of the biggest effects if that makes sense. If i keep smooth in an area... the rash/redness will slowly become less common over time.

We both get salon wax. Hers is a bit quicker than his but then he does get the whole lot done! Whole lot is cock, balls, arse, tummy. chest, back, armpits, legs, toes, ears and nose. And shoulders. Everywhere hair grows except face, head and forearms.

I would do anything for the money for laser - sounds absolutely perfect!

I tried waxing for around a year, but it only ever lasted a couple of days before stubble came back, and then I'd have to wait a few more weeks before it was long enough to wax again.

I'm back to shaving now, and I use something called TendSkin, which my beautician recommended when I was getting waxed. Absolutely brilliant - just just dab it on morning and night, and it leaves you rash and bump free

There's a review on a certain site that it explains veet can be a bit risky. See below.

After having been told my danglies looked like an elderly rastafarian I decided to take the plunge and buy some of this as previous shaving attempts had only been mildly successful and I nearly put my back out trying to reach the more difficult bits.

Being a bit of a romantic I thought I would do the deed on the missus's birthday as a bit of a treat.I ordered it well in advance and working in the North sea I considered myself a bit above some of the characters writing the previous reviews and wrote them off as soft office types...oh my fellow sufferers how wrong I was.

I waited until the other half was tucked up in bed and after giving some vague hints about a special surprise I went down to the bathroom. Initially all went well and I applied the gel and stood waiting for something to happen. I didn't have long to wait.

At first there was a gentle warmth which in a matter of seconds was replaced by an intense burning and a feeling I can only describe as like being given a barbed wire wedgie by two people intent on hitting the ceiling with my head.

Religion hadn't featured much in my life until that night but I suddenly became willing to convert to any religion to stop the violent burning around the turd tunnel and what seemed like the destruction of the meat and two veg.

Struggling to not bite through my bottom lip I tried to wash the gel of in the sink and only succeeded in blocking the plughole with a mat of hair.Through the haze of tears I struggled out of the bathroom across the hall into the kitchen by this time walking was not really possible and I crawled the final yard to the fridge in the hope of some form of cold relief.

I yanked the freezer drawer out and found a tub of ice cream, tore the lid of and positioned it under me. The relief was fantastic but only temporary as it melted fairly quickly and the fiery stabbing soon returned.

Due to the shape of the ice cream tub I hadn't managed to give the starfish any treatment and I groped around in the draw for something else as I was sure my vision was going to fail fairly soon. I grabbed a bag of what I later found out was frozen sprouts and tore it open trying to be quiet as I did so. I took a handful of them and tried in vain to clench some between the cheeks of my arse.

This was not doing the trick as some of the gel had found it's way up the chutney channel and it felt like the space shuttle was running it's engines behind me.This was probably and hopefully the only time in my life I was going to wish there was a gay snowman in the kitchen which should give you some idea of the depths I was willing to sink to in order to ease the pain.

The only solution my pain crazed mind could come up with was to gently ease one of the sprouts where no veg had gone before.

Unfortunately, alerted by the strange grunts coming from the kitchen the other half chose that moment to come and investigate and was greeted by the sight of me, arse in the air, strawberry ice cream dripping from my bell end pushing a sprout up my arse while muttering..." Ooooh that feels good "

Understandingly this was a shock to her and she let out a scream and as I hadn't heard her come in it caused an involuntary spasm of shock in myself which resulted in the sprout being ejected at quite some speed in her direction.

I can understand that having a sprout farted against your leg at 11 at night in the kitchen probably wasn't the special surprise she was expecting and having to explain to the kids the next day what the strange hollow in the ice cream was didn't improve my status...

So to sum it up Veet removes hair, dignity and self respect....... :-

We use magic powder before visiting clubs to avoid the possibility of shaving blotches, what's the smell like on the platinum? The original stinks lol!

I like to shave but i noticed i get rashes if i shave more often. So i like to leave a few days gap before shaving again.

Also when i shave, i try to use as few strokes as possible to remove hair and constantly wash the razor blades. It is easy to repetitively stroke your razor blade over the same area, likely causing the rashes.

This has worked for me and a number of others i have advised.

So my background is that I am a product development scientist, and it just so happens that one of the products I worked on developing was a shaving product.I will add here that this was maybe 10 years ago now, so my knowledge on the subject is quite out of date.

For many people the abrasion of the razor is bad enough, what can make it worse though is the effect of a soap/gel/cream that contains anionic surfactants. (These are the chemicals that are responsible for cleaning and for making bubbles/suds - the cleaning bit being the important bit here, as they basically strip your skin of it's natural protective, soothing and nourishing oils.) The long and the short of it being if you are going to shave, then I personally would recommend a shaving oil to minimise skin irritation and reduce the risk of razor rash.

As others have said, a sharp fresh razor, clean well between strokes, use as few strokes as possible and try to go with the grain. There are creams available that use ingredients that will help reduce hair regrowth and/or ingrowing hairs. Some of these are really good, just make sure to do your homework and find a brand that actually works.

I've also had the laser hair treatment, with a plastic surgeon under a general anaesthetic due to how high it was set to. Even 2 years of that didn't leave me hair free due to being ginger, so those of you wondering about laser treatment, unless you're naturally dark haired I wouldn't recommend it.
